There is nothing sweeter than a quaint New England town and two sweethearts about to wed. We met up with Emily and Adam in Sunapee, New Hampshire back in June to spend an afternoon on Mount Sunapee and to stroll the sleepy resort town which was filled with lake enthusiasts. After a peaceful ride up the chair lift these two took center stage on the stunning vistas of New Hampshire (don't you just love New England?). We think we should talk to the New Hampshire state tourism board and use Emily and Adam as models for their great state! After coming down the mountain we went into town where we found a quiet marina, covered bridge, general store and other sweet highlights that served as a great backdrop for Emily and Adam's session. These two are about as down to earth and warm as two people get, and we feel darn lucky to have them as our clients! We can't wait to be a part of your big day, Emily and Adam!
Deirdre + Casey = Married
Deirdre and Casey threw one of the most beautifully classic weddings we've had the privilege of photographing. From her stunning gown to their Commonwealth Avenue portraits and the decadently beautiful setting of Alden Castle, these two know how to celebrate in style. We might be biased, but we feel like Boston is the most beautiful city in the US, and there is pretty much nothing more romantic than a classic city wedding. Deirdre and Casey's love is steadfast and true, and we're smitten with the way they personified their connection into their soiree. Matt was there to capture all the action and it's safe to say that the rest of us (Kendra, Chuck and Abby) were pretty jealous for hitting the wedding client jackpot. Congratulations Deirdre and Casey! You both have been such a joy to work with. We wish you years of love, red wine and cheese. ;)
Ashley + Jamie = Max
This session makes us so happy. You may remember Ashely and Jamie from their classy wedding in the mountains of Vermont back in 2012. In addition to this job being our livelihood, we are filled in so many ways from the relationships we make telling love stories. Making friends along the way is really the cherry on the sundae, and this sweet family is just that. Ashley, Jamie and their sweet son Max have become dear friends of ours and when they asked us to capture this fleeting moment in their family life, we were all in. We joined them at their darling apartment in Cambridge to grab some photos of Max doing his sweet baby thing, and after slipped over to Fresh Pond, which is just steps from their house to capture some photos outside of the three of them (and keep Max awake since it was nearly bedtime!). We are loving the images from their session and hope you enjoy a peek at this beautiful family too.
Sarah + Matt = Engaged
Sarah and Matt are so wonderful. Grounded, charismatic, loyal and fun-loving, these two are a joy to be around. (Our) Matt accompanied them on a mini adventure around Sarah's parents home in Gloucester Mass where they basked in the sunshine and enjoyed the salt marshes and ocean. Sometimes we feel like we get to accompany our clients on some pretty romantic outings, so we're always grateful for their open hearts to share a date with us (long walks on the beach? check!). We can't wait for their wedding in just a few weeks at the Misselwood Estate. It's going to be such a great day!
Amanda + Jaco = Married
As some of you may know, Matt and I were wed at the Codman Estate in 2011. Amanda and Jaco's Wedding was the first time we've returned to our favorite venue for one of our clients weddings, so there was already a heightened sense of emotion on our end when going into Amanda and Jaco's wedding. Naturally, we felt such affinity to Codman that we knew it would be a stellar backdrop for photos, but the space is so familiar to us that we weren't sure how we'd capture it in a new light. Just like every wedding, I arrived with an open heart ready to document the day as it set out. Thanks to the power of the internet, we had never met Amanda and Jaco in person until their wedding day, so I wasn't sure what to expect. You guys. There could not be two more beautiful, loving, genuine souls as Amanda and Jaco. Their warm spirits and charismatic personalities were the icing on a very pretty cake. Shooting this wedding was a dream for me. From the absolutely perfect weather and stunning scenery (I still loose my breath every time I'm in the Italian Garden at Codman) to the jovial celebration surrounding their new chapter in life, this wedding was amazing. Amanda and Jaco, thank you for letting me capture your love. We could not be more smitten with you two! Congratulations !
Cerridwen + Nic = Engaged
These two are pretty spectacular. Creative, genuine, intentional and charismatic. Oh, and good looking (but we didn't have to tell you that). We have loved getting to know Cerridwen and Nic. Matt spent some time exploring some of Boston's prettiest nooks and crannies with them during their Engagement Session a few weeks back. We always love shooting at the Boston Public Library (the Courtyard always seems to have perfect light) and we think that Nic's fedora transports these images back to a bygone era. We can't wait to capture their backyard wedding on MidCoast Maine later this year (you won't want to miss that one) which will surely be a sensational day. Thanks for sharing this exciting time with us, guys!
TuVan + Peter = Married
Recently, we've had a pretty cool trend with our couples having been together for nearly ten years. There is such a great familiarity in these relationships that feels like each person is the calming force of the other's world. The comfortable, stable love and commitment these folks share is so sweet and tells us how great they will do in their marriage together. TuVan and Peter are a perfect example of this. TuVan is the type of girl who has a million things running through her mind and takes everyones feelings into consideration before speaking a calming word or making a well-thought-out decision. Peter is the kind of guy who makes you feel welcomed from the first hello with his magnetic, kind personality. Together they are a perfect match. TuVan and Peter shared not one, but two beautiful Vietnamese Tea Ceremonies on the morning of their Wedding Day that incorporated family and religious traditions such as generous gifting and delicious tea and food. After their families fed all their guests (and us!) with some seriously amazing food (two Vietnamese brunches before noon is a pretty awesome challenge if you ask us) TuVan and Peter changed into their stylish Western Wedding attire and gathered on the University of Minnesota campus (where they met!) with their wedding party for some fun photos between the rain storms. The celebration continued at a nearby Chinese banquet hall for more awesome food (a 10 course feast!), a hopping photobooth and some sweet dance moves. Special thanks to our Associate shooter Abby for third shooting with us on their wedding day and Congratulations to Tuvan and Peter!
Jillian + Pat = Married
Jillian and Pat's Newport Wedding (shot by Chuck!) is about as lovely as they come. There is nothing quite as nice as two college sweethearts who have grown into adults together and are taking the next chapter in life by storm. Newport always photographs beautifully, but we are especially smitten with Chuck's work with Jillian and Pat despite the gail force winds they contended with. We love that they had their ceremony on campus where they met at Salve Regina University and thought their stylish and bright pops of color accented the backdrop of the ocean quite nicely. Jillian and Pat, the two of you have been so wonderful to work with. We couldn't be happier for you and wish you nothing but the best! Congratulations!
Erica + Tim = Engaged
Oh we have big hearts for these two. We first met Erica and Tim at Erica's sister's wedding back in 2012 (remember Heather and Steven?). As it turns out, big loving hearts run in their family. From the moment I met Erica, she gave me a big hug and insisted that she "was a huger" and that a handshake simply wouldn't do. We later met her gentle and loyal other half, Tim at the wedding. We've stayed in touch with them throughout the years and were thrilled to hear of their Engagement. When they asked us to photograph their big day, we were elated to have the opportunity and we have enjoyed working with them throughout their engagement so far. Matt captured the two of them with their sweet dog Jax at one of our favorite farms in the Boston area late in May and we're so excited about these images. It goes to show that with the right setting, sunset light and an adorable trio like Tim, Erica and Jax, that you can't really go wrong. We can't wait for their October wedding in Rhode Island that will fall on the 10 year anniversary of Matt and my couple-ship. It's going to be such a spectacular day!
Morgan + Jordan = Married
I'm not sure if we've ever worked with a couple SO EXCITED to get married. Morgan and Jordan are so well suited for one another, and their love left us with a huge grin wiped across our face. With common loves for travel, adventure, God and the outdoors, these two are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. Their Wedding day was filled with 300 of their closest friends and family, lots of great stories (and songs!) and a skies that had forecasted 100% chance of rain but not a drop touched their shoulders during their wedding. It was a pretty spectacular day. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to capture their wedding story (special thanks to our talented friend and second shooter, Ellie!) and wish the happy couple so many years of great adventures. Congratulations Morgan and Jordan!
