Engagement Session in Oxford NC
Buckle up and enjoy Haley and Nathan’s seriously romantic, fiery, heart-melting engagement session in Oxford NC. Amanda Law, partner photographer with Fancy This Photography, captured the couple’s engagement photos as their date in downtown Oxford unfolded.
We love when engagement photo sessions reflect a couple’s favorite date activities. Haley and Nathan’s session began with a cup of coffee and cozy, window-framed kisses at Strong Arm Baking Company. Taking engagement photos at one of your go-to date spots is a fun and personal way to memorialize this special time in your life. It also makes it easier to feel relaxed in front of the camera when you’re doing something familiar with your boo in a place you both love.

On the Rise: Oxford NC Weddings
Oxford NC weddings are on the rise as this beautiful countryside town continues to grow and flourish along with the Triangle. Granville County is home to some incredible barn and farm venues, but Haley and Nathan wrapped their session at The Orpheum—one of Fancy This Photography’s favorite wedding venues in Oxford NC.
The Orpheum is a restored art deco movie theater turned into one of the coolest event spaces in North Carolina. Located in the heart of historic downtown Oxford, The Orpheum features art-deco architecture, neon lights and retro photo backdrops. It’s the perfect spot for a nostalgic yet timeless engagement photo shoot.

Engagement Photo Shoot Fashion
Haley and Nathan looked effortlessly sharp in all-black outfits—we love a dark and moody engagement photo shoot. Black is undeniably timeless and looks good on everyone. Their coordinating looks matched their cool style and sexy small-town love story. As an added bonus, their black silhouettes contrasted beautifully against downtown Oxford’s warehouse-chic backdrop.
You know how real estate agents say “location, location, location”? When it comes to engagement photo shoot fashion, stylists say “layers, layers, layers.” We love how Nathan played with layers by taking his sleek black leather jacket on and off throughout the shoot.
Haley brought the heat with her own layered look: a denim vest over a black long-sleeve shirt, paired with a black skirt and fishnet tights. A fierce pair of leather boots and a silver moon-and-star belt pulled everything together, adding a touch of magical romance to this classic all-black vibe.
Engagement Photos in an Empty Warehouse
Haley and Nathan’s engagement session in Oxford NC begins at a café and ends at an art deco theater event venue. In between those two public spaces, Amanda Law photographed the couple in an empty warehouse—and on its rooftop. The result? Incredibly romantic, industrial-chic engagement photos.
The private setting allowed Haley and Nathan to let their guard down and fully lean into the moment, creating space for both candid and posed shots.
In these images, the couple trades their to-go coffee cups for a pair of canned beverages. Amanda captured them dancing through the open warehouse floor and cozying up in window frames for kisses.
On the rooftop, the wind gently tousled Haley’s hair as the sun set. Amanda documented their urban adventure with ease, adjusting to both indoor and outdoor lighting.
