Jesus & Mayra's Family Session

When Silas and I lived in the south we ate mexican food at least one a week and often times two or three times.  We got very used to have a local mexican restaurant that was delicious, fast and affordable.  When we moved back to New England we went through a serious withdrawal.  Trust me it wasn't pretty.  Thankfully Jesus and his family have come to our rescue!!! They have opened a delicious mexican restaurant that is less then 5 mins from our house.  I can't even tell you how happy I was.  These guys see us regularly (maybe not three times a week but defiantly a few times a month) because not only is their food delicious but Silas and I am are big fans of supporting local restaurants!  The day when we were there for dinner and Jesus asked me about photos, I can't tell you how thrilled I was.  They are a super sweet couple and have a beautiful daughter, as you can see!  Now after all this talk about mexican I'm craving some enchiladas!

Jodi & Eric | Mountain View Grand Resort

Sometimes the smaller, more intimate weddings are my favorites.  Jodi and Eric were bringing more then just two lives together on June 29th they were bringing two families together and I have never felt more love in such a great group of people.  Their kids were on cloud nine the whole day- you'd think it was their wedding, and it kind of was in a way.  Jodi and Eric found ways to bring their kids into the ceremony from dancing down the isle to doing a family reading and even a sand ceremony that included all four kids.  The rain held out most of the day and the light was golden.  All in all, it was a pretty perfect wedding day.

Gitte & Chris | Hardy Farm Engagement Session

She may have been a bit nervous but with his hand around her waste or his laugh lighting up the room she quickly relaxed in the arms of her future husband.  They met at Boston University and he popped the question on a beach in California and from the first time I met Gitte and Chris (via skype) I knew these two were going to be fun.  We spent over an hour chatting about them, their wedding, food... you name it we prob covered it.  When they decided to make the trip up to my neck of the woods for their engagement shoot I was excited to take them to a new venue that has a stunning barn and beautiful grounds.  The sun may not have made an appearance but the light was soft and beautiful.  The way their hands fit together, the way she snuggles into his shoulder and the way his laugh made her face light up made this session so much fun and so easy to capture their love. I can't wait for their coastal Maine wedding in September!

Meagan & Pat | Whitney's Inn Jackson NH

Memorial Day weekend may not have had the sun and white puffy clouds that we all hope for but Meagan and Pat didn't seem to even notice.  With their love, rain or shine it was the perfect day.  The rain showers were off and on all day and although we had to move their ceremony inside we did catch just enough time to take some photos outside between the rain drops.  Every detail of this rustic, chic wedding was unique and special.  The painted mason jars, the bright pink colors, the popcorn bar, dessert table that would make you drool and of course the brides custom broach and flower bouquet.  Meagan and Pat also had a special member of their family with them... Their large and super sweet dog Tucker!Venue: Whitney's Inn Florist: Maryanne Coyne Cake: White Mountain Cupcakery Dress: Maggie Sottero DJ: Matt Spofford Paper:  Events by Design

Something New: Pass

I've been terrible these past few months about blogging- I have no excuse beyond being busy (which is a lame excuse I know) and having a bit of the winter blues (again lame).  So now that we finally have some sunshine, and even if it's only in the mid 30's next week is looking up (might hit upper 50's) so I'm celebrating by kick starting my blog again! The first big thing to announce is that I'm now jumping on board with PASS.  PASS is this great new technology that allows me to share your images with you in a custom gallery!  This gallery is amazing and allows you to share right to facebook, pinterest etc right from the gallery and if you've ordered the digital files you can download them right there in the gallery- no more waiting for DVD or thumb drives to arrive in the mail- when you see your images you have access to them right away!

This gallery system is a cloud-based viewing, sharing & storage application.  Through the program you can share, mark favorites and download the images.  You can view the gallery on an ipad, iphone, or on your computer- it's so easy to use and very soon will have the ability to order prints right from the gallery.  You can be sitting at the coffee shop- get your pass gallery link and be viewing your images and order prints right from your iphone- talk about cool!

Here is a little video to give you a hands on feel of how awesome this new program is!
