J&Q - E Shoot

J&Q are really quite awesome together. Cool, calm, cheerful and in love. J and I started our first right out of college teaching jobs together... almost a decade ago. What a lot has changed in our lives since then. I can't tell you what an honor it was to hear from her about her engagement and be asked to photograph them both. Another colleague and dear friend of ours always told me, the two happiest days in your life are the day you get engaged and the day your first child is born. Alas, I can say they are definitely among my faves along side our wedding day, subsequent children's births, honeymoon dayzzzz, oh and rehoneymoons, family reunions from foreign lands and and a few other hidden jewels along the way. Ah, life is good...

These two have the soon-to-be-married, forever's at our fingertips kind of glow. And, they've picked a gem of a wedding date! I know you'll enjoy this glimpse of their togetherness, as two hearts on the threshold of L.I.F.E, and as a terrific trio with their pup, Mister O. He's quite the rascal, make no mistake, but adds oodles of fun, slobber and glee to these pics, and clearly J&Q's everyday. Love that. Love these. Love to you, the beautiful couple. Enjoy these blissful days captured just fleetingly here on camera, to make you smile for years to come: the world's most awesome and all-that-matters gift: your ❤.

Have to start with my fave...



Love & Laughter...







J, as you see, has the most beautiful eyes...





Blue jeans, baby...





And here's O... who did find all the kissing rather... boooooring...



Unless of course he was in the middle of it all. Then he was licking, winking or all smiles :)



See how he adds his spunk...?



Oh, I love these...




The look...



The love...



J&Q, whatever other best days of your life await you, cause Lord knows you'll make your own, I wish you as much joy and laughter as you glowed this day, and so much more... xox

Wedding Bliss

I recently had the enormous privilege of photographing the wedding of dear Liz and Ryan. Now, I don't agree to weddings without some serious consideration. Everything has to be just a perfect match for me and my strengths and style, but if you could meet these two, the absolute definition of a perfect match, you would see why I simply couldn't say no. A few months back, I captured them in pre-wedding mode. Gosh, it was a perfect little engagement session. And then August 6th arrived and there is simply no way I can explain what a special occasion their wedding was, even to me, who comparably only just met them. The soft light, the perfect breeze, the stunning bride, the besotted groom, the proud and doting family, the small details and overwhelming joy, all on the shoulders of the majestic Atlantic Ocean.

Liz and Ry, it was truly an honor to watch you two wed. And may I just say, that if the way you treat your working photographer (putting her on the seating chart, smothering her with delicious food and surrounding her with your family and individual love and appreciation) speaks to the characters and hearts you two possess, you are quite something special. Well, I don't need to tell you that. Here's to you both, Mr. and Mrs. B, and your new beginning as man and wife. A beautiful, beautiful beginning it was. And don't you know... the best is yet to be.

A few highlights:

The moment Ry first saw Liz... magic.

My love, my prayers, my admiration to you both... xox

Nothing fills you up with warmth and joy like an engagement session with two absolutely radiant and wonderful young love birds! I had such fun meeting these two, sharing their special place with them, and helping to capture this most jubilant time in their lives. How beautiful they are. Congrats and enjoy, you two!
