Nicole & Jay's Engagement Session

June 16, 2016

This engagement session was so much fun! Nicole and Jay are so perfect together, they compliment each other in every way. 

When we arrived to Duxbury Beach, the weather could not have been more perfect and the sky could not have been any clearer. Nicole warned me that she felt a little awkward kissing her man in front of strangers during their engagement session, but by the end of the shoot, Nicole would giddily exclaim "smoochie, smoochie!" when I told them to kiss. That's how I knew we were all having a blast! They really opened up and got a lot more comfortable as the evening progressed. I love seeing that and it helps me to know I'm doing my job - and doing it right! :)

I made these two work hard for their photos! Duxbury Beach was so idyllic that day that I just kept shooting and shooting and shooting. There is so much variety at this beach, everywhere you turn is a new and beautiful backdrop. That's the reason I always recommend Duxbury Beach when engaged couples ask for beach engagement sessions. 

Their wedding is coming up very soon! Please head over to my Facebook Page and give it a "like" to ensure you see Nicole and Jay's wedding photos!

Emily & Joel's Engagement Session

Last weekend I had the absolute honor of shooting an engagement session for an old friend and her fiance! I've known Emily for close to 15 years - we went to middle school and high school together. After high school, I would frequently see Emily working at her family's place of business, Barrett's Alehouse, where I never (ever) had too many beers...I swear! I was also able to meet Joel in college at Bridgewater State University where we partied...erm studied, yea studied...a lot together.

Emily reached out to me a few months ago looking to book me for her upcoming wedding at Olde Scotland Links and I was giddy with excitement at the opportunity to shoot this amazing couple's wedding. I was elated when they decided to book me on the spot!

I shot their engagement session on the morning of Emily's Kentucky Derby themed bridal shower and she had the awesome and unique idea to shoot the session at Dorbill Stables in Bridgewater. We were able to get some super cool photos in and around the barn...until the horses stopped digging my camera equipment. Although we had permission to shoot there, we ultimately decided it would be best to no longer disrupt the business (and horses) and wrap up the session at War Memorial Park in West Bridgewater. 

From there, I followed Emily to her bridal shower and got some super fun photos of her and her bridesmaids in their beautiful Kentucky Derby hats. All in all, it was a really fun morning and I think everyone enjoyed the session!
