Meet Sarah & Justin - A Rockport Engagement Shoot

Yesterday I met Sarah and Justin in Rockport for their engagement shoot. Justin & Sarah are both transplants from the South and the Midwest and Justin really wanted to visit Moore Lobster Co..  He was on a mission to hold a lobster and as you can see by the photos, not only did he hold one, but there was such a great reaction! Luckily for the lobster, Justin & Sarah chose clams to dine on :)

After all that excitement we drove up to Halibut Point to take in some of the beautiful scenery and as we were walking around I could see some of the reasons why they are getting married. Justin has a great sense of humor and was making Sarah laugh the entire shoot. I know from experience in marriage how important it is to have a guy that makes you laugh! I'm so excited for their wedding which will  be held this fall at the Commandants House in Charlestown.

Meet Ada & Ray

Last week I met up with Ada and Ray in Rockport for their engagement shoot. Not only is Rockport a beautiful location it is the spot where they had their first date. The first photo in front of the big lobster sign, is where they had their first dinner together, and that's not counting the one at the wedding where they met.

It's funny because you find out a lot about your couples from engagement shoots. At first glance, Ray & Ada seemed very quiet and reserved, which to some extent they are. They both have a calm way about them. But as they were interacting with each other I noticed that Ada was poking Ray's nose a lot and making strange noises at him and she is really quite silly! This is why I love engagement shoots and include them with my weddings. You never know what you're going to find out!

Valerie & Peter's Engagement

Last night I met Valerie and Peter at Halibut Point in Rockport, MA to shoot their sunset engagement session. The amazing thing about the location is that the beach actually faces to the west so you get really amazing sunsets right into the water! Valerie & Peter currently live in my hometown of Amherst, MA, but Peter's family lives right up the road from me now in Gloucester and also used to live at Halibut Point for many years. As we walked the trails Peter told us many stories about the point and how it used to be a quarry and how when he was a kid he used to run up and down the rocky beach pretending to be a sea warrior!



I love the light in these two shots.






This puppy came by to see what we were doing!


I think this guy had been spying on us the whole time too...



After the shoot I turned the map on in my GPS and found a few more spots by the water. I really love old buildings like this house, and the setting couldn't have been more perfect.

Here's another beach down the road.
