Jesse and I had an awesome engagement photo session today with a great young couple who hired us to shoot their wedding next year. It is so much fun doing shoots with people who are fun, lively and clearly in love!
Since they are not from the area, they asked us to choose a location for the shoot and their only request was that it be outside. I remembered a really scenic walking bridge I discovered by accident on the New Boston rail trail and thought that would be a perfect setting for their photos. This is a photo that I took there earlier this year:
We are always a little nervous about outdoor shoots because you just never know how the weather is going to treat you but, wow, did the weather really come through for us today! We shot in the late afternoon so the sun was at a perfect place in the sky to allow us to avoid the harsh lighting of noon-time. The leaves were perfectly lit, the sky was clear and the mosquitoes gave us a break until nearly the end of the shoot.
Like many couples newly engaged, Juline and Matt had little experience doing couple photos in front of a lens. With a little direction, though, they were able to loosen right up and really get into the spirit! They were very playful, not afraid to show their affection for each other and were very clear with us that they wanted the photos to be more fun than formal. To make their point, they even brought their Patriots jerseys for a few photos!
All in all, it was a great day and we look forward to shooting this wonderful couple's wedding next year!
Juline says she is in love with Matt and that she WILL get him to the altar even if she has to drag him kicking and screaming! We believe it!!!
Tomorrow, we're off to Portsmouth to do a profile of local upscale gift shops for Gift Shop Magazine. Looking forward to that one!!!
