Chrissy and Dave are getting married next year at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. We met up at their house in southie for their engagement session a couple weeks ago. These two love to entertain guests, so we started out in their kitchen creating spiked apple cider and enjoyed a mug in their back yard (yes they live in Boston and have a back yard, I know, unbelievable!) on a beautiful crisp October afternoon. We headed down to the beach in Southie (I think it’s called Carson Beach) where you can get gorgeous Boston skyline views, and finished up in the Public Garden. These two laugh – a lot. I would like to think that it was because I am hilarious, but I am not sure that is true. They are such a wonderful match for each other. Dave was the most at-ease groom I have ever photographed, thank you for making my job easy, you two! I had incredible light, perfect weather, and a snuggly couple, what more can I ask for?

I am on a blogging storm this week! I had a lot of couples who wanted to utilize the gorgeous weather we were having a couple of weeks ago, and had back-to-back shoots. I think I drove around 1000 miles in two days on that particular weekend! I met up with Heather and KC up in Prospect, Maine at Fort Knox. I had been there as a kid, but never as an adult – it’s *just* as fun! The fort itself has very little light, and most places you need a flashlight to find your way around. I thought about this a lot going into it, but knew there were pep-holes around the fort and was hoping to use these. It created a spotlight look, which I was totally digging. After we played around in the fort, we went over to Fort Point in Stockton Springs. My brother actually lives in Stockton Springs, so this was so convenient for me! I stayed the night and got to snuggle their pups. Fort Point has an adorable little lighthouse, and we parked ourselves there to enjoy some wine and the beautiful Maine Coast.

Heather and KC are getting married this month at the Bangor Public Library and their party after will be held at the Sweetest Thing studio in downtown Bangor. When I asked Heather and KC what their inspiration was for meeting up at Fort Knox they told me that they wanted everything about their wedding to represent “historical Maine” – love it! I cannot wait to see you two again in just a couple weeks!

A mix of film & digital here, as usual! This time I used Kodak Portra 400, my fave when shooting people. Another thing I love about film: When I opened the back of the camera to grab the finished roll, I pulled it out and it accidentally unrolled a wee bit (with 120 film, it doesn’t get “sucked in” the canister like with 35mm). You can see the product of that accident by noticing that some frames (that were towards the end of the roll) have orangey-red blown out edges. I think it’s lovely.

Maria & Barrett are getting married next year at the Old South Church in downtown Boston and partying after at the Seaport Hotel on the waterfront. A pretty quintessential “Boston wedding” if you ask me! We met up a couple weeks ago in upstate New York, where they live, for their engagement shoot. When we were driving to the apple orchard Maria had told me about and we arrived, I was all “where is everyone? Where do we get bags…?” and it turns out the orchard is one of Barrett’s friends, not a u-pick! Danny was sad that I didn’t bring home a giant bag of apples like I did the week before, but I was happy because that meant we had the *entire* *gigantic* orchard all to ourselves!

You probably assume this by now, but these are a mix of medium-format film (Kodak Portra 800 this time) and photographs taken with my digital equipment.

Annmarie and Brian are such fun people. They are so silly with each other that I don’t think I stopped laughing during our shoot and my cheeks hurt after! We met up at Russell Orachards in Ipswitch for some apple picking and cider donut eating and then headed over to Crane Beach. Even though it was overcast and rainy the whole time (especially when we got to the beach! I kept having to take breaks to clean off my lens every minute!) that did not mean they weren’t going to have a blast. We all came out of it happy and soaking wet. They will be getting married at Moraine Farm next June!
