Celebrate Your Love
Engagement Portraits | State College, PA
As a State College engagement photographer, I specialize in capturing the magic and emotion of your love story. Whether it’s a surprise proposal, engagement, or anniversary, I believe that falling in love is made up of small moments and memories that we hold dear in our hearts. My goal is to document those unique, special seconds and turn them into forever memories that you can look back on and cherish forever.
I want to celebrate the beautiful tapestry of strength, beauty, and love that your relationship has woven.
Remember when you first fell in love? Perhaps it was when he brewed your favorite morning coffee, when he opened the door for you, or surprised you with a weekend getaway. Or maybe it was just a quick glance, a simple hello that sent butterflies to your stomach.
I’m here to freeze time and emotions in stunning, authentic images. So you can return to that feeling of first falling in love, whenever you want.

Kind Words
Getting our couple photos taken by Nhi Thai was really an enjoyable experience to me and my wife. Nhi was not only good at capturing beauty with her camera, but also showed great communication skills: she made us feel at ease, and helped us draw out all the right emotions for the desired results. I highly recommend Nhi Thai Photography!

We loved our love story session with Nhi! She is so professional and just such a wonderful person! Nhi was meticulous throughout the process and really captured our essence. I teared up reading her blog post for our engagement session. My whole family got emotional. The photos are GORGEOUS too. My fiancé and I highly recommend!

Nhi is an incredible photographer and such an amazing person to work with. She is so kind and she really cares about capturing the emotions you want to convey in your photos. She is very responsive and she is open to any and all ideas, which I really appreciate about her work. She did a great job during my shoot and really helped me to feel comfortable in front of the camera. I would recommend her to anyone looking to capture timeless, naturally beautiful photos.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Nhi for so beautifully capturing our love for one another! We couldn’t have picked a better photographer to commemorate this moment in our lives. Nhi is seriously talented, and unbelievably kind, professional, and easy to work with!! Thank you, Nhi!!!

There isn't enough room here for all of the amazing things I want to say about Nhi and her photography. Not only is she responsive, professional, and kind (so easy to be around!), she produces VERY high quality images and has a way of capturing beautiful moments effortlessly. I truly can't recommend her as a person or her final product enough!!!

Nhi was awesome to work with! Nhi made sure we were ready and comfortable before we showed up for our shoot, and she kept in touch diligently after it ended. I can't thank her enough for our photos that we'll be able to treasure for a lifetime. I've already told my future hubby we will be going to her again in the future when we have new professional photography needs. Thank you, Nhi!

Not only does Nhi take beautiful photos, but she is so great to work with! She is very encouraging and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our session was a lot of fun!

We are extremely happy that we chose Nhi. Nhi is so professional. She knows how to make the most out of the surroundings to take gorgeous photos. She also knows exactly how to make us laugh and help us pose. She is not only a great photographer but also a great person to work with!

Nhi did a fantastic job of capturing exactly what we were looking for in an engagement session. She had creative ideas and was very easy to feel comfortable with. She had great communication and worked very quickly to get the pictures to us. The reveal celebration she does is a special touch to wrap up the experience!

Nhi did an excellent job! She is so talented and friendly, and the photos she took are gorgeous. She's awesome and really knows her stuff.
