Last time you saw them we were in the depths of winter in Boston **here** and it was soooo chilly that we planned a quick spring shoot and it came around so quickly! Arianne was home for spring break from medical school this week and as luck would have it we had a perfect blue sky day for our beach shoot. It seems somewhat ironic as we currently have 6 inches of snow on the ground...
The best time of day for pictures is usually a couple of hours after sunrise or before sunset - you get beautiful soft golden light (bear this in mind if you're planning an outdoor wedding ceremony - noon makes it kind of tough!) but I think it's all too easy to play "safe" and only shoot in open shade. The sun can be your friend ;)
And after 5 months of snow and rain and winter boots and wellingtons do you know how happy I was to see Arianne & Roger's matching sneakers! Love!!!
Do you see what I mean about embracing the sun? Arianne - I can't wait to photograph you as a bride! I think I'm almost as excited as Roger to see you in your wedding dress!
Roger looking pretty sharp too:
I really love this picture, might be my favorite from the shoot:
If I had to give each picture a name I'd maybe call it "safe" or "secure"...
I asked Arianne & Roger if they'd like to go to Newburyport for a little while and Arianne was all "ooooh - would there be any hot chocolate?!"
Arianne & Roger are officially adorable:
The old-fashioned gas lamps in Newburyport lit up with perfect timing:
And then it was time to go home (via Joppa Fine Foods for me to stock up on yummy cheese and wine!). Arianne & Roger - I hope you enjoy these little preview shots - lots more to come and I can't wait until your June wedding!
