Eirik and Deanna’s Napa, CA Wedding

Deanna and Eirik (pronounced “Eye-rick”) met on Facebook if you can believe it! Eirik is Norwegian and has a mutual friend to Deanna, Jarred, who was the best man. Jared started a conversation with Deanna on Facebook, forgetting he was on Eirik’s computer logged in as him instead. After a while of talking back and forth online, Eirik offered to meet with her in Venice and she agreed. Now that’s a good first date!  Deanna and Eirik  were married in Deanna’s family’s front yard in Napa, California. It was a home grown event, full of sweet touches and gifts from everyone, including a family friend who was a chef providing the meal, Deanna’s brothers building the dance floor, music written and sang by family, as well as a special song written and sang by the groom and performed by her siblings. Three of Eirik’s friends flew from Norway for the wedding, as well as his Father and Sister. His mother couldn’t make it but she was able to be there for it all via skype! Eirik’s Dad filmed a lot of the day and always had her within the reach of an iPad. It was very cool to be able to have her see what was happening and even talk to them! During their couple portrait time, Eirik said “Wait I forgot I need to do something! I need to change my facebook status to married!” Deanna will begin a new life with Eirik in Oslo, Norway, but not before they travel the world for a few months as an extended honeymoon!

Kristin and Will’s Saugus MA Engagement Session

If you want to talk about a pretty fall day, we can talk about Kristin and Will’s engagement session at the Breakheart Reservation near Boston, MA. Yes yes, that’s a funny name for a place to photograph true love, but it was actually a blast and a half! The leaves were stunning and it was quiet. Any worries about the light not coming through the trees at the park were wrong. It was lovely! Will knows how to make this lady laugh! She was rockin her carefree giggles the whole time. It was easy as pie to photograph them. Kristin and Will met in college, when she jumped on him one day and said “Hi!” We can tell you the rest of the story when we photograph their wedding next June.
