An Engagement Session at World's End in Hingham Massachusetts
After re-scheduling for rain I finally got the chance to shoot Laurel + Andrew’s engagement session at World’s End Park in Hingham, Massachusetts. Not only is it the cutest seaside town, but the park has so many great locations for photos and getting cozy! As we walked and explored the park, we had a great conversation that allowed to me really get to know these two, which is why I love engagement sessions!
Laurel + Andrew met during college winter break while at Toby Keith’s at Gillette Stadium. It was the end of the night and she was closing her tab when Andrew caught her eye (he wasn’t even planning on going out that night, talk about fate!) They were introduced by a friend and hit it off right away, setting up their first date for right after the holiday. The funniest part of their meeting was when he first texted her, he got her name wrong (typing Lauren! Oops!) but on their first date their conversation went on all night and the rest is history.
6 years lated Andrew surprised Laurel with the most beautiful proposal (and gorgeous ring!) and a celebration with family. Shortly after getting engaged, Laurel was not feeling well one day and ended up in the hospital suffering a stroke. Thankfully he was by her side the whole time. I truly believe in the marriage vows of “in sickness and in health” because these trying times are when you most need the person you love by your side. She has made a full recovery now and both are excited for their upcoming wedding!
Thank you for sharing your story with me and allowing me to capture these moments of your life! I can’t wait for the big wedding day!
Of course we had to pet the dogs we met!
Boston Seaport Engagement Session | Christopher Columbus Park | Brianna and Brian
This past winter I partnered with The Boston Bride and The Newport Bride to give away an engagement session to one lucky couple. I love doing things like this, because our New England wedding community is so talented and it gives us a chance to work together to serve couples and also support each other in business.
I was so happy when Brianna and Brian won my session! When she commented on the post to win, I felt like we connected right away and they would be a perfect couple to win! They got engaged at Christopher Columbus Park in Boston, so what better place to capture their engagement?! We started with some drinks at Tia's on a warm Spring day, and then proceeded over to the bench where Brian proposed. How cute are they! Congratulations Brianna and Brian, I had so much fun with both of you!!
Rhode Island Engagement Photographer | Providence Public Library | Katie and Tai
Originally we were supposed to do our session outside, but our unpredictable New England weather brought snow and cold! Katie had the great idea to to moving inside to the Providence Public Library where it was nice and warm and they could show off their adorable outfits. I'm a total reading and book nerd, so doing a session in a library, especially as gorgeous as this, was right up my alley!
Mount Hope Farm Engagement | Cassi and Mike | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer
Thanksgiving day has gone, Christmas is in the air (and on the radio), and the end of the year is quickly approaching. I'm, so thankful for all of the beautiful couples that have trusted my vision and allowed me to capture their most special moments! We've worked with and met so many adorable couples this year, and can't wait for the 2018 wedding season! You've probably heard me say this before, but I love Fall! The colors, the snuggles, the smells of pumpkin and apple (candles for the most part, unless my mom bakes!) it is all so comforting!
One of our favorite (ok, their ALL my favorites!) Fall engagement was with Cassi and Mike at Mount Hope Farm, in the quaint seaside town of Bristol, RI. I love this location from its bright and cheery farmhouses, quintessential New England stone walls and history, and sweeping fields and trees. The foliage was near peak and we found the perfect area of bright leaves to create a cozy atmosphere. They even brought the most adorable plaid blanket to snuggle up in! I can't wait to capture their vows next Summer, congratulations Cassi and Mike, you two are just adorable!

Alicia
