um. if i told you i loved these guys? you’d be sick of hearing me say it? would you just get to the point where you would no longer believe me? I sincerely don’t blame you, but, THAT SAID… i really, really love these two. I knew it from the second they walked through my door for our first meeting; I usually do. Gut instinct – as an entrepreneur and business owner, without it, you’re sunk.

Caroline and Brian are amazing. I love how easily they laugh together. I love how cutely they interact with one another. They are one of my younger couples, but it is beyond obvious they belong together – it’s undeniable. Not only was it obvious as I shot them that night, but I noticed it even more as I was going through the images. It’s the way they hold onto each other… whether it’s how they hold their hands, how they hold each other – it’s the way those hands hold each other, even if it’s just fingers intertwined – look for it. It warmed my heart. That, to me, is such a sure sign of true love – when you do things that can’t be measured, but it just means “love.” You’ll see it in a number of the 50 million pictues I’ve posted here. Yeah, it’s my last shoot (besides weddings) that I’m posting from this year, so you just need to bear with me, because I just get to do whatever it is I please… because it’s my blog, therefore, my rules. :D

You guys? couldn’t be happier you are one of my couples. I am so excited to know you, to spend time with you, to document your love story. I loved the time we spent together that night, for our shoot and then when we went out to the Fairview after our shoot. It felt like we were hanging out, like we were truly just friends – you make me feel comfortable to be me, because I know that you accept me, well, for me :D And for that, I am so honored and fortunate to have you in my life, where I think you’ll be for a long time.

Kristin and Andy. I’m totally crushing on them – they are just about the two sweetest, kindest people ever. I am so blessed, and count those blessing every time I think of all the amazing people that have come into my life, and all the joy it brings me to share in their special day. Without the connection with my couples, I feel I’d just be waltzing into their wedding, snapping my camera, and leaving, without a second thought of them… the couple… whose special day it is. To be a part of their lives, in their memory, forever, one of their happiest memories of their life. And I’m there, and I’m a part of it. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. If there is ever a wedding where I don’t shed a single tear, about how privileged I feel, to be a witness to two amazing people celebrating their special relationship, I might just hang it up. Because, I do love you all. I am honored to be there, to be included. To FEEL included. You mean the world to me.

These guys are no exception. They are sweet and kind to each other, respectful, and outright adorable. I love how they look at each other; I love how they talk to one another. They almost seem to share the idea, almost immediately, and nob-verbally, then say the same thing. It’s just about the sweetest thing ever. They also share that same kindness and respect for me, and I appreciate it, more than you know.

We went to the Sail Loft after our shoot, to grab some drinks, and we ran into friends of theirs. We went out and had drinks on the deck, and then the other couple came out and joined us. We had a blast. It never fails that when a couple is awesome and amazing, so are their friends; and it was just such a fun night of drinking and story telling and laughing. My job doesn’t suck. In any way, shape or form. Sometimes I get stressed, and overwhelmed, but I never take my singular focus on how important all of this is to me. My connections with you. My images of you. I am blessed; and I have you all to thank.

Oh, something I realized half-way thru the shoot, is, I had come all the way into Boston, and I was so excited to get some different scenery than my norm… ocean, beach, boats, harbors… (you get the picture, sort of?) So, at some point, like a gravitational pull of the earth, we are down on the docks, by the boats, on the water. And then we went to more docks. Then, I realized what I had done, and I thought it was *just* about the funniest thing I’ve ever discovered about myself. I just can’t break away :D It’s just too “me.”

I had to include these; I’ve been sailing my whole life, and I just love these next shots. But I’d totally be lying to you if I said I didn’t get yelled at by the boats owner. Then we left :D

Thank you both. So happy to have spent the time with you and your friends that night; I had a complete blast with you all! Can’t wait to do it all again at your wedding!!!
