Brigid + Josh | Vermont Wedding

Meeting Brigid + Josh last summer for their engagement session was a wonderful surprise. We don’t usually book couples for wedding photography via email, so meeting someone with our big cameras in hand must be a bit intimidating– this happy couple handled it all in stride. Their love for each other shone that day, as we walked through downtown White River Junction, Vermont. We loved that they added in a nod to their planned honeymoon in Ireland by taking us to their favorite Irish Pub (Salt Hill) in nearby Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Fast forward to their July wedding: still cool, calm and collected, Brigid + Josh strode happily through their wedding day, hand in hand (and, for Brigid, often singing!). The ceremony was kept very personal, with Brigid’s father performing the ceremony as a deacon at Saint Anthony’s and her mother leading the chorus. The reception was held at the historic Hotel Coolidge just blocks away, where Brigid’s sister and maid of honor Kathleen led the guests in a touching and clever toast involving a variety of songs. Dancing and laughter kept us happily shooting through the rest of the evening, and Em was thrilled to count four pairs of blue shoes throughout Brigid’s day: blue flip flops, blue stilettos, blue patent pumps, and blue Keds. (HOW AWESOME!! -Em)

Following the reception we escorted the happy couple to the lobby of the swanky Hanover Inn, where we took a few parting shots and said our goodbyes… the Pogos headed back down to Florida and the new Mr. + Mrs. headed to their Ireland honeymoon.

I really like the one of Brigid and her girls walking to the church along the sidewalk. It really shows a flavor of Brigid’s hometown.

Didn’t mean to send it twice. OOPS

Sterling + Jessica + David | Boston Family Session

Jessica and David were among my first clients, way back before Pogo Photo, before Steve, before Florida, in the early years of my college studies at SCAD. I met Jessica years before that, when she was directing local plays in Vermont and cast me as Celia in As You Like It (and we both discovered that acting—and memorizing lines—were not my strong points, though it was a fun experience). Far, far away, Jessica met David in Scotland, and, to keep things succinct, that was that. Fast forward to last December when their first son, Sterling, was born… and then another seven months before I was in the Boston area to do a family session with their bouncing baby. Needless to say, this is a session that touches my heart! Click below to see some of my favorites from their session, and click here to be notified when the rest of the images are available.

Nicole + Scott | Jupiter Dog Beach Engagement Session

We’re always a little nervous-excited when we meet clients for the first time at their engagement session… no matter how many great emails have been exchanged, being in person together is going to be totally different! We had nothing to worry about with Nicole + Scott, who both had beaming smiles despite the super-early sunrise session. (We had big smiles and lots of energy too… thanks to our iced coffees!) What a super sweet couple… we’re so happy we had a chance to meet them (and their sweet doggie, Sasha). Looking forward to seeing them again soon!

Scott DavisonJune 15, 2012 - 2:47 am

AMAZING! These pictures came out even better than expected. Thank you Em and Steve again for an absolutely amazing shoot. Waking up early was totally worth it. You both set us right at ease and created a relaxed and enjoyable experience. We cannot wait til our wedding and are 100% certain that you will capture the moment beautifully.

You two look absolutely amazing in EVERY ONE of these pictures! I’m so incredibly happy for you, and the love you share is evident in every smile and kiss they captured. If I had to pick a favorite, I’m not sure I even could! Sasha is adorable as always, and the ‘Nole/Gator hat picture was priceless. Great thinking on your parts…especially the ‘Nole side. :) Can’t wait for your wedding! Love you both!

We cannot wait until your wedding, either! I like hearing that you both enjoyed the shoot as well as the photos themselves since Em and I both greatly enjoyed the entire morning and love the images, so it’s nice to see we are all on the same page! Please tell Sasha that all three of us (including the terrified cat) say hello.
