2020 was quite the year, but not in the way that any of us had imagined when it began. Rather than the exciting year we all had planned, we sheltered in place, wore masks, sanitized, quarantined, and found new ways to manage our daily lives in the midst of a global pandemic. The event industry was hit so incredibly hard, with most of us losing nearly our full calendar of weddings and events. It was a punch to the gut every time we read about another small business that had to close down because they were not able to weather this seemingly never-ending storm.
Hampton Beach Engagement Session {New Hampshire Engagement Photographers} Aundie & John with Lily & Jack
Aundie and John have been all over our newsfeed lately after capturing their engagement session a couple months back and their recent wedding at Smolak Farms! I could get the feeling that people just couldn't get enough of them and their adorable kids so I wanted to make sure I blogged their engagement session {I pinky swear promise I will blog their wedding too...don't worry!}.
Hampton Beach NH Proposal {New Hampshire Engagement and Wedding Photographers} Colin & Rachel
Colin emailed a few months back asking if we could be there to capture his proposal to his girlfriend Rachel. After I stopped doing my happy dance of excitement we got to planning the perfect proposal. They met a few years ago at a concert in Boston, but they shared their first date, first kiss, and he asked her to be his girlfriend at Hampton Beach. This was a special place for them so he knew it was the perfect place to propose. He booked a weekend getaway there and we got to planning!
Greycourt Park, Methuen Engagement Session {Massachusetts Engagement Photographer} Amanda & Connor
Amanda & Connor did their engagement session with us a few months ago, but since today feels like January I figured it was the perfect opportunity to share their photos. I struggled with how to title this blog because this session was SO MUCH MORE than just an engagement session! It was a engagement session, a family session, and a pregnancy reveal all wrapped up into one adorable package! I have known Amanda since we bought our home 5 years ago because she lives in our backyard. Not in the homeless vagrant kind of way, but she lives in the house behind mine...so I also live in her backyard.
Greycourt Park, Methuen Engagement Session {Massachusetts Wedding Photographer} Allie & Donny
Often times we don't get to meet our couples until their engagement session, so the shoot is a great way for us to get to know each other before their big day! We had a perfect morning with Allie and Donny last weekend at Greycourt Park in Methuen {as many of you know is one of our favorite spots}. They were a lot of fun to spend time with, and they had great chemistry together.
Greycourt Park Maternity Session {Massachusetts Maternity Photographers} Victoria & Jason
Greycourt Park is by far one of our favorite spots to do photo sessions so it was the perfect place to recommend for Victoria & Jason's Maternity Session! Most people who make the drive up the big hill behind Methuen Town Hall are always shocked to find such a hidden gem in our town! It was also the most appropriate place for us to discuss this weeks Game of Thrones {Considering the remains of Tenney Castle do look like a battle had happened here many years ago!}
Island Grove Park Engagement Session {Massachusetts Engagement Photographers} Shaunna & Bobby
As everyone starts thinking about the upcoming warmer weather and opening their pool, we can't help but still love this Engagement Session with Shaunna & Bobby where the pool was most definitely CLOSED! A fresh batch of snow was the perfect backdrop for this chilly engagement session this winter at Island Grove Park in Abington.
Greycourt Park, Methuen MA {Massachusetts Engagement Photographer} Caitlin & Jeff
Most of the engagement sessions we capture are during autumn. and considering how gorgeous it is in New England I can't say I blame them. However, we love when our couples want to do something different and were thrilled when Caitlin and Jeff wanted to plan their engagement session in the winter! We went to Greycourt Park in Methuen for their session and it was the perfect snowy spot for their photos.
