Within the first minutes of meeting Traci and Steve in person, we were already laughing. They're both so fun loving and laid back which makes being with them so effortless, and in turn we got some really amazing frames. We headed down to Nantasket Beach in Hull for this engagement shoot and thankfully it was a warm, sunny evening and got to play in some really great light. Since Steve is in the army we had some fun with the American flag and his badass army jacket. I always have so much respect for those who serve in the military, it's something to be very proud of.

I'm so excited for this June 16th wedding!

Peace, Love & Red, White + Blue,

This picture makes me laugh every time I look at it and a testament to how much fun Traci & Steve are. It was one of the first pictures we snapped and also Steve's big modeling debut.

One of my favorite images of all time right here

This picture is very "quiet" to me

I love everything about this frame, from the colors to the look on her face, to the fact that she's still showing off her bling while she's being whipped around by Steve. hahaha

Traci totally reminds me of a Maybelline model in this frame

sometimes it's the little things

This series is so fresh and vibrant, gotta love that creamy good light

Just you, me and the deep blue sea

When Marisa first called me about being the photographer on her wedding day I asked her a ton of questions like I do with all of my brides, "tell me everything"… As she went on to tell me some of the details I was quickly struck by her laid back, yet spunky attitude rather than the wedding itself {hey, I'm just being honest}. I love when this happens. I remember specifically writing in her file "book this girl, seems fun". haha, yes, I did that. Since Marisa wanted a beach engagement shoot we decided on the Crane Estate in Ipswich, MA. We had such a great time and as always, James {her man} was a great sport about it. See, usually guys aren't down with engagement pictures, but I always seem to find a way to get the men to have fun! Love is Art and Art is Fun {it's true}! We started at the beach and then drove around the estate. We were driving awfully fast from location to location in order to beat the rain. As soon as we wrapped up the session, the skies opened up and it poured for the rest of the evening. I think that's a good omen for their wedding day!

Peace, Love & Art,

Beach engagement shoots typically are windy… I love the wind blow hair look {I really do!}

I love the emotion...

Just a guy who loves his girl

I love this montage of beach-ness, so fresh!

I'm a sucker for romance and I love this picture, so much!

We drove over to the Crane Estate and when I saw this beautiful area of course I got all excited!

So we were looking at these finely manicured greens… Me: "how do you feel about taking your shoes off and running up that hill?" Marisa: "I'll do anything" hahaha, so much fun!

and though I love a good time, I also love these quiet moments
