Julie and Mike’s Engagement Session at Odiorne Point State Park | Summertime Engagement Photography
I met up with Julie and Mike at Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, NH on a hot and sunny day in August for their engagement session. Odiorne Point is a gorgeous park I have used many times for engagement photos, but on such a beautiful day, there was a big crowd, which limited some of the photo opportunities, but the way Julie and Mike looked at each other, you would think they were the only people in the world. Like many couples, they had expressed they were camera shy and felt awkward having their picture taken. One of my secrets for getting my couples comfortable with the camera and create the best photos is by having them focusing on each other and making each other laugh. Once they forget about the camera and focus on each other they let their guard down and start having fun, which is what I want for all my photoshoots.
Fall Couples Photography Session for Newlyweds, Sarah & Alex (with Tucker and Bear) at the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth, NH
Sarah and Alex were unable to include their adorable Corgis in their wedding earlier in the year. Which is something many pet owners face when they are planning their own weddings. While the Pup-of-Honor can steal the show and make the day extra special for the couple, they are, unfortunately, not allowed at all venues or parks. That’s why it was very important for the couple that we found a location that was dog friendly.
Spring Engagement Photography in Portsmouth, NH with Hannah and Ben
My year officially began with Hannah and Ben’s exceptional engagement session in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The rainy weekends in April meant we had to reschedule a few times, but it was well worth the wait because we had perfect weather and they performed magically in front of the camera. We had a simple plan to meet at Strawberry Banke and wander around the area. While scouting the area, before they arrived, I discovered there were a few small parks were scattered, all with their own charms which were perfect for engagement photography. Hannah and Ben brought their love and passion as we hopped from park to park in downtown Portsmouth and together we created some stunning engagement photos. I had an incredible time working with them and can’t wait for their wedding in December!
