If you’re looking for one of the most breathtaking locations on Long Island for engagement photos, it’s hard to beat Camp Hero in Montauk.
From dramatic bluffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to quiet walking trails and panoramic views of the historic Montauk Lighthouse, Camp Hero offers an incredible variety of scenery within just a short walk. It’s the perfect place for couples who want engagement photos that feel adventurous, timeless, and uniquely Montauk.
Shaun and Vanessa’s session couldn’t have been scheduled more perfectly. Golden hour brought soft light across the cliffs as we explored some of my favorite spots throughout the park. Their relaxed personalities made every photo feel effortless, from quiet moments overlooking the ocean to playful walks along the trails.




One of my favorite parts of photographing at Camp Hero is how many different looks you can create without ever leaving the park. During a single session we photographed:
The result is a gallery that feels diverse while still telling one complete story.
The Ultimate Camp Here Engagement Guide
Camp Hero has become one of my favorite places for engagement sessions because it offers something few locations can.
Instead of choosing between beaches, cliffs, forests, or lighthouse views, you get all of them in one location.
That variety means your gallery never feels repetitive. Every few minutes the scenery changes, giving your photos a completely different feel while keeping travel time to a minimum.
For couples who love nature, coastal landscapes, or simply want engagement photos that don’t look like everyone else’s, Camp Hero is one of the best choices in Montauk.
If you’re considering having your own Camp Hero engagement photos taken, I almost always recommend scheduling your session during the last two hours before sunset.
The softer light creates beautiful skin tones, brings warmth to the cliffs, and often produces incredible skies over the Atlantic Ocean. It’s also when the park tends to feel quieter, allowing us to explore without large crowds in the background.
Comfortable shoes for walking between locations are always a good idea, and neutral outfits photograph beautifully against Camp Hero’s natural colors.




Whether you’re visiting Montauk for a weekend getaway or you’re local to Long Island, Camp Hero offers one of the most unforgettable settings for engagement photos.
Shaun and Vanessa’s session is a perfect example of how a beautiful location, great light, and genuine connection come together to create images that will never go out of style.
If you’re planning your own engagement session or looking for a Montauk engagement photographer, I’d love to help you create a gallery that’s just as meaningful and uniquely yours.
