For you all of you Instagram users this blog post is a #latergram.  Or maybe it’s Throw Back Sunday?  Whatever the case may be we did an engagement session redux for Halle and Ed back in May.  Our first engagement session took place at World’s End in Massachusetts.  Shortly after the session Ed decided to lose 20 lbs!  We decided to do a quick second session for these guys in honor of Ed looking good!  Usually they refer to sequels as being bigger, faster and better than the original.  In our case bigger doesn’t fit, BUT better does.  We thought the first session was good, but this one tops it for sure!

We met Alyssa and Marc on a beautiful evening in Newport on First Beach. There was a slight chill in the air which meant we had the beach all to ourselves. This was our first beach session of the year and it felt so good to get our toes in the sand! The couple wore complimentary shades of aqua mimicking the sea behind them. All went perfectly normal until the wardrobe change and the props came out. Alyssa had seen photos of a couple who had used Gulal, which are dry powder colors traditionally used during Holi, the Festival of Colors that takes place throughout India. The idea was they would start off wearing white shirts and throw the powder colors at each other and that’s exactly what happened! So this very traditional engagement session turned into anything but. We seriously have the most fun clients!

When Meg and John suggested we take their engagement photos at Blithewold Mansion in Bristol we were so excited! And then when Meg told us she had some vintage suitcases and a sculpture her grandmother had made when she was at RISD we were even more stoked! We arrived at Blithewold and saw that the daffodils were in full bloom, Meg was so beautiful, John was gorgeous and everything fell into place. Boom! Engagement session magic! Each step we took into the gardens was more amazing than the last. At one point Meg took off leaping through the flowers and John said “Every guy thinks he’s marrying the most adorable woman alive, I KNOW I am”. See for yourself…these are two high school sweethearts who embody love through and through!
