Samantha & Darren’s engagement party
The same day I photographed my niece being proposed to, I also shot this awesome newly engaged couple’s engagement party. There was a lot of driving and photography that day! Sam & Darren had lots of friends and family over to help them celebrate while surrounded with tons of love and well wishes. And the cutest floofy black dog that you could hardly make out in pictures! I think I may be photographing an engagement session for them and maybe their wedding too so stay tuned…

bitsy & kevin get engaged!
I put my best ninja photographer/stalker skills to work to capture my “niece” Bitsy (who was my flower girl at my wedding to her Godfather!) and her now fiance Kevin proposing! It was awesome!! Kevin decided to do it in front of St. Agnes School where they met in 4th grade. Her mom told me that a long time ago a psychic told her that Bitsy will go to school someplace with big green doors and it will change her life. Well, that was pretty spot on!! Kevin thought Bitsy was the cute new girl with the blue eyes when she transferred into St. Agnes in 4th. They haven’t been together since then, but after Kevin reconnected with Bitsy at their 10 year reunion and then matched on Hinge a year later, the dating commenced and now here we are! Earlier in the week I went over to the Hispanic Brotherhood (which is located directly across the street from the school) to attempt to explain to them that I’d like to hide around their property on that Saturday because Bitsy is way too smart and observant for her own good and if she saw me with my camera walking around, I totally wouldve ruined the surprise. After confirming that I’m really not a stalker (well, not in this particular case) I hid behind the building until she said yes. And she did!! Big thanks to Kerin and Karaline and Mom for helping me set the whole photography portion up (and to the girls for keeping me company from a distance while sitting behind the Brotherhood for like an hour!). Great job to Aunt Denise for getting the house set up for the after party and helping with the ring, which is beautiful! Oh, and I do need to mention that Bitsy was wearing her Color Street Amazing Greige polish which was a nice bonus! And if you’re curious about the cake toppers- their respective nicknames given to them since they were little babies are Bitsy Bee and Puppy.

katie & kevin get engaged!
And I was there to capture it! In secret stealth ninja photographer mode in the beginning for the proposal (which is not easy on a very open beach with nowhere to hide) and then out in the open for some pictures of the newly engaged couple! Kevin did an awesome job and she said yes, obviously! Big thanks to Katie’s BFF Marisa for helping with all of the arrangements of getting me there and gifting this couple with this session! Congratulations to the happy couple and both families!!

meghan & erich {springtime}
A couple for all seasons, this time we hit up spring at Sagamore Hill at their request. It was a great session and we lucked out with the weather too. No Star Wars this session, but historical stuff so that was a good substitution! Looking forward to shooting their wedding in December.

meghan & erich’s engagement party
It makes me so happy to see things at least kind of starting to get back to something resembling normalcy. Like parties with people we love to celebrate special occassions. This was a great one- celebrating Meghan & Erich’s engagement with a small luncheon with some of the most important people to them. Monaghan’s did an amazing job with the restaurant, Art Flowers with the florals and details, and Front Street with the cakes. (Mom loves to support local small business, which I also very much appreciate!) Can’t wait to do a spring session outside for this couple and then their wedding in December. Maybe by then, this whole pandemic nightmare will be over? We can hope.
