One of the treats I get at every engagement session is seeing what type of space that the couple wants to inhabit. Sometimes, they choose the engagement session location because that’s where they spend their Sunday afternoons, or because that’s where the proposal went down, or in Chris and Jane’s case, it’s because it holds a lot of great memories.
Chris spent a few summers at Lynch Park in Beverly, MA as a lifeguard. It’s one of those spots that if you don’t know it’s there, you could easily drive by and have no idea what a wonderful place you just passed. It has so much to offer. It has a sandy beach, a rocky beach, a beautiful flower garden, and yes, two lions perfect for riding!
For me, it’s the silly moments that really provide for some wonderful moments, and it’s those moments that I seek out. Jane and Chris had no problem showing their silly side during this shoot! We were walking around near the end of our shoot, and Chris sidled up to this stone lion, then got on its back as if he was meant to be there. I took advantage of this moment in these explorers lives, and it’s one of my favorite shots of the day!
In between (and sometimes during) the silly moments, it was easy to see the love they had for each other. My second favorite shot of the day was when they both leaned on a short wall opposite each other and just smiled. I just love capturing these moments!
This is just a sneak peek. The rest of the photos will be done and posted in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!
so cute!
