White Cliffs Engagement Journey with Aleya and Adam

ALEYA & ADAM

There’s something extra special about sharing a first-time adventure with your person—and for Aleya and Adam, their White Cliffs engagement session was just that. New location, lots of laughs, and a whole lot of fast walking (more on that in a sec). Their session was beautifully captured by SHP Team photographer, Andrea.

Finding the Perfect Venue

When it came time to choose their wedding venue, Adam and Aleya only needed to see two places before they knew The Bond was the one. The indoor ceremony and reception space gave them peace of mind about the weather, and the courtyard offered a perfect outdoor spot for portraits and cocktail hour. The industrial vibe sealed the deal—it felt like them from the start.

Comfort in Front of the Camera

This White Cliffs engagement session wasn’t their first rodeo—they’d already had photos taken during the proposal at the beach and a second round in Harrisburg with a friend. But this time, they were going for a more relaxed vibe. Casual outfits, nature as the backdrop, and no pressure… just a chance to enjoy each other and explore somewhere new.

Speed Walking Into the Sunset

So apparently, Adam always walks fast—Aleya warned me, and she wasn’t exaggerating. By the time we reached the cliffs, we were definitely sweating a bit from our mini workout! But honestly, it just made the adventure even more memorable. None of us had been there before, so there was this fun mix of excitement and discovery throughout the session.

Ending on the Water

We finished their White Cliffs engagement session at the boat ramp in the parking lot, just as the sun started to set. It was peaceful, golden, and the perfect end to a session that felt like them from start to finish.
