Rock the Dress | Wedding Portrait Session | New Hampshire

“Why not wear it twice?”

This was Jamie’s Rock the Dress session from this past summer. We’ve blogged a ton of Jamie and her husband Josh this year so you might remember her smile from her engagement session or maybe even her wedding day. It’s always such a pleasure to work with people who love photography and really value the experience we provide.

This session had two different locations about 30 minutes apart and we were planning on wrapping up just as the sun was going down. We started a bit late because our GPS decided it would be cool to not find the first location at all and take us on a driving tour of the New Hampshire / Vermont border. Long story short, we found it and it was perfect. Madame Sherri Forest in Chesterfield, NH contains the remnants of a European style chateau built in 1924. This once grand estate was abandoned in the 1950’s and was destroyed by fire in 1962. All that is left is the stone staircase, but that is enough to make a perfect rock the dress session.

Our second location was Alyson’s Orchard in Walpole, NH. An absolutely beautiful venue with some incredibly generous owners who invited us to take portraits at their location. Alyson’s property is set upon a hill was undeveloped when it was purchased and turned into an orchard in the 1980’s. The trees on this property are incredible, which is what drew Jamie this spot. You see, Jamie loves portraits with trees and on her wedding day we weren’t able to make it up to Alyson’s for their formal portraits. But it worked out as a great post wedding session because we had time to explore the property without worrying about time restrictions.

In the end, it was really an amazing day for all of us and we’re so excited that Jamie and Josh loved all of their images. Rock the dress sessions are definitely a favorite for us as photographers. We feel it really rounds out the wedding photography experience and our clients have a ton of fun.

Family Portraits at Wachusett Mountain

“We’re with the band…”

Princeton, MASo we, Ash, I and the Jones family, are all at the top of Wachusett Mountain on a beautiful summer day for a family portrait session. There had been a corporate event on the mountain that day so there were a lot of people around, who unfortunately were not cool enough to be in the backgrounds of our photos.  In order to get away we decided it would be a good idea to ignore the signs that read, “No One Allowed on Ski Trail,” and walk down the a little bit into the tall grass. The teenage kid running the ski lift disagreed with our plans. However, in the spirit of every “we’re with the band” scenario, Mike turns around and says, “it’s fine we cleared it with…” and proceded to name about 7 names, including the owners;  I wouldn’t be surprised if he named the kid’s dad, because he just looked at us and said “uh… ok.” Turns out that Mike and Kristina used to work there and the know everyone up there. This was a great moment because as photographers we are always trying to talk ourselves into restricted spots, so it was nice not to have to do it this time. And the images we made on that trail turned out to be some of the best out of the whole portrait session.

Thanks to the entire Jones family for a great family session, hope to see you all soon!

Derek + Erica | Engagement Session | Boston

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever.”
- Alfred Lord Tennyson

Boston, Mass. – People in love can be inspiring. As wedding and portrait photographers we are continuously meeting new couples and it goes without saying that some are more inspiring than others. These two here, Derek + Erica, are on the top of our list for love’s inspiration.

Our engagement session on a nice summer evening was as perfect as it can get. Great weather, sweet light, fantastic location and two beautiful people willing to trust our vision and creativity as photographers. Everything just came together that day and it will probably go down as on of our favorite sessions of 2009. (We love our jobs).

Big Thanks and Congratulations to Derek and Erica! We can’t wait for your 2010 Wedding!
