Midtown Manhattan Engagement Session: Maddie and Ray

Anytime we are invited to do engagement sessions where the couple lives we are all.in.for.that! Meaningful places make the photos just that much greater. I know that Grand Central Station is classic, but it really is a part of these two humans lives. Ray commutes to and from CT here and they even used to meet at the clock inside the station for date nights. Meeting them for the first time in such a busy place made us hone in on them and listen harder and work intensely, a flurry of activity happening all around us. New York City is nothing if not exhilarating.

After going full speed from the get go in Grand Central, we walked over to Bryant Park for a little greenery and natural light. Even though this session was a total and complete whirlwind from start to finish, it felt really good to be around these two and their happy happy love love.

Federal Hill Engagement Session: Erica and Matt

What do you do on a rainy rainy day in Providence Rhode Island? Well the four of us decided to rock out some engagement photos on that wet day on Federal Hill. Erica and Matt got engaged in DePasquale Square at Christmas time and wanted to revisit the spot for their engagement photos. Erica sent me the video from the engagement and it brought tears to my own eyes. So so cute! It made me uber happy we spent the session there too. Not to mention, we got coffee at the Venda Ravioli, where Erica grew up shopping with her grandpa. After all those special spots, we headed out to Buzzards Bay Brewing for some last photos before we drank a few pints and talked about our mutual love for travel. Not a bad way to spend a rainy day at all!

One Shot Engagements and Portraits 2016

It’s kinda impossible to really narrow down our favorite photos to ONE from each shoot we do but here is our attempt. Honestly though it’s really just us choosing a favorite in the moment. These are from each engagement session and portrait session from 2016. Dang did we have a good time.

Portland Maine Underwater Engagement Session: Christine and Mitch

When a bride asks for underwater photos and to meet at one of our favorite restaurants beforehand, we know its going to be a good session. Christine wanted to try some underwater photos as a part of her engagement session with her love Mitch. We jumped at the idea and worked on planning how to get that done here in Portland up until the last minute. Even with all that planning on both ends, we ALMOST didn’t get to go into the pool even though everything was cleared beforehand with the hotel. We sweet talked and luckily it worked out perfectly. Mitch brought some lighting since they own an event company and could light up the pool like sunlight! Collaborative creating at its best. Now lets go back to the detail that the pool was only the third thing we did during this session! First we dined with them at Eventide and then we took them around Portland’s Old Port and the Eastern Prom for some less underwater-y photos. You know you gotta have that too 😉 Thank you Mitch and Christine for being so laugh-y, snuggly, kiss-y, adventurous, open, trusting, and enthusiastic. We loved photographing you both and CANNOT wait to see how you do a wedding.

Kennebunkport Maine Engagement Session: Kate and Mike

“Let’s do our engagement session where we got engaged!”

I love hearing that every time. Kate and Mike love Kennebunkport and were engaged on Goose Rocks Beach so it was basically a no brainer to have their photos taken there. Their wedding is THIS weekend but luckily we were able to sneak in the session right beforehand. We met them at one of their favorite restaurants in town and then cruised around taking photos in town amid the swarms of tourists enjoying the scenery along with us. Mad props to these two for diving right in, trusting us, and going for the cuteness while people were walking by from all directions. After that advanced modeling, it was a breeze to head over to the beach with hardly anyone around to worry about. They are a pretty sporty couple so the addition of some football was perfect. #sports We wrapped up the evening with cocktails, oysters, and shrimp at a nearby restaurant. My kinda evening. We can’t wait for this weekend you guys!!!
