Jen and Matt are getting married next June on a boat in Casco Bay followed by a reception at The Portland Company. These two love Christmas, so much so that Matt proposed to Jen on Christmas Eve! They wanted to meet up for their engagement session at Boiling Spring Tree Farm where they would choose their Christmas tree!

You will recognize these two from their first engagement session in Back Bay. Some of my couples can’t decide in which season they want to do their engagement session, so we do two! he he! I am always happy to accommodate that request. KB & Angela decided they would have a special day, exactly 6 months from their wedding, of apple picking, being photographed, followed by a nice dinner out, I love that!

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.
