Kelsey and Chad’s Beverly MA Engagement Session

It was less than a week from the day we officially become their wedding photographers that we shot their engagement session! Talk about getting right down to business right? We like that!

Kelsey and Chad had us over to her parents home in Beverly and we did the whole session simply in their yard, and a little sand beach just a stones throw away. With Griffin, thier huge loveable dog, and Bella, Kelsey’s precious bichon, we spent two hours just playing around! Chad serenaded Kelsey and they had glasses of sangria while we gushed about the light and the scenery. A little rain fell and we went inside and sat by a huge picture window and Chad just kept kissing her. Seriously… this guy LOVES this girl. He holds the record of one of my top statements ever said… “I didn’t give her this ring to be engaged to her, I gave her this ring so I could be married to her.”           **and we all faint together**

Their wedding next year is going to be love filled, gorgeous, and full of the greatness of Kelsey and Chad. We are obviously excited.

Cristina and Jim’s Lodge wedding in New Hampshire

Color! Style! Laughter! Joy! …. and of course LOVE! Cristina and Jim married on another a few weeks ago, but it felt like they have been married for eons. Perhaps this is because they are middle school sweethearts. The word “finally” was mentioned more than once by pretty much everyone, the couple included. As you can see, Cristina is a fan of color from her shoes to her bouquet. The couple grew all the flowers for the wedding and arranged them all the day of. The decor was all DIY, made lovingly by friends and family. I loved the garden theme and ALL THE COLOR! Did I mention it was colorful? I haven’t even mentioned the awesome clothing choices this girl made. Check out those Kate Spade shoes and designer dress by Francesca Miranda. Swoon. O yeah… her wedding band/engagement ring will knock your socks off too. We loved being there to witness this wedding and share the day with everyone. It was one of a kind.

Morgan and Dougs Backyard Wedding in Shelburne, MA

Morgan and Doug were married on her parent’s farm in Shelburne MA. The weather was spectacular, the fashion choices were lovely, the setting was out of this world, and the couple was head over heels. Just right! The ladies got ready in Morgan’s childhood bedroom and the couple had their first look in the front yard. We went up to her grandparents home for more photos and then went to the apple orchard for a few more. Are you understanding idyllic is was yet? There ceremony was blessed with a violin performance from a grandmother, and the kiss was perfection. After an unforgettable (!!) horse and carriage ride, we enjoyed a reception complete with popovers and an impromptu irish step dancing invasion. Can we say dream-worthy?

Kristen and Rhett’s Ogunquit Maine Engagement Session

We parked our car and we looked around wondering which one of these passers by was our couple. Rarely do we never see the couple before the engagement session so we had absolutely no idea what they looked like. When these two walked by Dan and I both thought, “MAN I hope that is them! Look how adorable they are together!” Lo and Behold, it was them! We proceeded to stroll around in Ogunquit on the docks, in a strangers car (no lie) and along the Marginal Way trail to a little sandy beach Kristen remembered from her childhood. They were so laid back and in love that it was a breeze to work with them. They were also crazy brave, braver than I. They wanted photos on cliffs and the edge of many precipices. I guess thats what happens when you have an outdoorsy Colorado couple. We had a great evening with them and enjoyed the beauty of Maine and true love together.

Becca and Daves Harrington Farm Wedding in Princeton, MA

Becca and Dave… where do we even begin? From our first meeting at Starbucks, to their wedding day and beyond, we have love love loved these two. After their engagement session on the Cape, I was counting down the days until the wedding, so excited to see these two become husband and wife. I was not disappointed either. Their wedding was seamless, with unique details and heartfelt family and friend moments. Zeus the dog was even there! They got ready and had their first look on the porch at Harrington Farm. Then they just hung out and enjoyed the pre-ceremony time relaxed and happy. The ceremony was lead by Becca’s dad, and with each word I could hear him giving her away with a bittersweet heart. It was unbelievably loving kind and sweet. Dave’s vows were romantic and hilarious all at the same time and everyone was both laughing and crying. A stunning ceremony for sure! Later, their fun reception included Key Lime Pie, a flash mob, and Glow Sticks. What is not to love?
