Here’s to last minute planners! Jenn and Kevin only contacted us a couple of months ago to shoot their wedding coming up this October in Newport, RI. Surprisingly enough we were available for the day! It must have been meant to be. This couple lives in Boston and has made many memories there making it an obvious choice for the location of their big photo shoot!  We met them in the North End, one of our favorite spots for pictures in Beantown.  There were fun decorations draped over the streets in preparation for the upcoming Italian Festival that weekend.  Oh, how we wish we could have been there to eat some food!  Kevin came armed with a google map of different spots that meant a lot to them.  Yes, I said he had a map…  With photos!  This is one prepared groom!  Some spots that were highlighted were the restaurant where they had their first date and the street Kevin proposed to Jenn.  We had such a great time getting a tour of Jenn and Kevin’s Boston.  With the wedding coming up quick we know that Kevin is away right now on his Bachelor Weekend!!  He mentioned that the guys were going to make fun of him if the pictures were posted this weekend.  Well it looks like we made it just in time!!!  Take it easy on him, Fellas!

Nothing gets us more excited for an engagement session than an inspiring location. Blithewold Mansion and Gardens is one of those places. With magical gardens worthy of a fairy tail, we find ourselves overwhelmed by the beauty surrounding us. Jacquee and Matt met us on a beautiful summer evening shortly before sunset. To enhance the fora and fauna, Jacquee wore what we like to call and “engagement shoot blue dress”.  This color will never fail a bride and stands out exceptionally well against the greens of the forest. Matt brought his tall, dark, and handsome self as well as some white lanterns and a very special lock. On a rainy day in November Jacquee and Matt made their way to the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris to secure a lock symbolizing five years together. It was here, in the rain on this bridge in Paris, that Matt dropped to one knee and asked Jacquee to spend the rest of her life with him! Romance abounds with these two, from Paris to Blithewold to their wedding at Linden Place next spring, Jacquee and Matt are bound for endless happiness. XO

It’s always really sweet when we get to have children join in on an engagement session.  We loved seeing the interaction between Rachel and Joe and the girls. They really made our time at Roger Williams Park in Providence that much more fun. We met on a perfect evening and walked and talked and took lots of pictures. The girls even did an impromptu playground-hand-slapping-singing-dancing routine (pretty sure that’s what you call it) which made for some super fun images. We had such a nice evening with a very nice, new family!
