Mallory & Ryan's Engagment Session

My cousin, Mallory Adams, is finally marrying her long time boyfriend, now fiance, Ryan Parker.  They met in college, and dated for 6 years, and 364 days, until he FINALLY popped the question!  I still remember the morning my family found out.  I've never seen my mom, and aunts, scream, jump and hug the way they did that morning.  We were all gathered at my aunt's house to make our Christmas candy.  (A tradition we carried on after my memere passed on).  Mallory set some champagne on the counter and flashed her hand around waiting for someone to notice.  We errupted with excitement!  Our candy making day turned into an engagement party with my whole family!  We haven't had a wedding in our family since my older cousin got married 19 years ago!

So anyways, its been exciting year of planning!  I was able to experience Mallory picking out her wedding gown!  Such a treat...as you know I'm a hopeless romantic and love a good episode of Say Yes to the Dress!  The bachelorette party, and shower came and went.  Now, with the wedding being less than 3 weeks ago, the big day shall be here before we know it.

Here are some photos from their engagement session.  We headed out to SMCC, and explored a bit.  Didn't realize how great it was to shoot there!  They were naturals (and I was a little nervous)!  Oh, by the way, our family isn't overly affectionate, and until this night, I had never seen Ryan and Mallory actually kiss!

Love you both, and thank you for letting me take part in your big day!  I hope there is plenty of room on the dance floor...these dancing feet can't wait to boogie!

Cat & PJ's Engagment Session....

So, as a wedding gift to my friends, Cat & PJ, I shot their engagement session.  We headed down to Old Orchard Beach on an overcast Sunday.  Actually, the weather was kind of perfect for shooting, really worked well with the dramatic shadows for under the pier. 

Cat & PJ were naturals in front of the camera.  You can tell how in love they are, and very comfortable with being affectionate.  They were so easy to photograph, therefore making my photos look amazing!

Congrats now to Cat & PJ Richard!  Sorry this blog was a long time coming... Love you two!
