After KJP and Sarah KJP’s Christmas Tree Farm Wedding last year, we’ve been dreaming of photo shoots with budding trees. This winter we meet with Will and D Photography at Sweet Berry Farm for the Christmas Tree Farm shoot of our dreams complete with skipping through a field, great surprise faces for the proposal, and even some great winter sweaters. It’s everything we dreamed it would be! You’re going to want to see every single picture. With a fun-loving couple like this, it’s practically guaranteed that the pictures will be adorable!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve dreamed of frolicking through a field of flowers with your significant other in tow. If you’re like me, that’s never happened.

Morgan and Ben’s Newport Engagement Session
Kristina and Mike’s Styled Nantucket Engagement Shoot Part 2
This second part of our engagement styled shoot on the beautiful island of Nantucket starts at the stunning 21 Broad and wanders around downtown. For this styled e-sesh we made the most of the beautiful boutique hotel and went for a bit of a lifestyle feel. Our models (yes, they’re actually an adorable engaged couple in real life) arm wrestled, fiddled with the record player, and went for a casual stroll down mainstreet. Continue reading

A Gilded Elopement – Styled Shoot
For our winter styled shoot we explored Lark Hotel Group‘s Gilded Hotel in Newport. With the perfect combination of old world charm and modern accessories, Gilded is a get away dream come true. For part two of our winter styled shoot we imaged a Newport elopement (for Part one see our Gilded Engagement post). With the models in something a little more formal, we played up the hotels intimate spaces. We started in the billiards room, moved on to the magenta front room, then up two explore two of the suites on the second floor. Every room allowed for a different set of pictures. With so many gorgeous spaces, colors, and wall papers, there’s a room for every mood.
A Gilded Engagement – Styled Shoot
Newport is home to hundreds of gorgeous victorian and gilded homes. The infamous Newport Mansions boast unmatched grandeur, but they aren’t the only ones with beauty and grace. For this winter styled shoot we choose the glamorous Gilded Hotel on Brinley Street in Newport. Part of the Lark Hotel Group, Gilded is one of a handful of gorgeous boutique hotels across the country that perfectly encompasses the best of historical charm and modern elegance. Converting two homes into one boutique hotel, Gilded has all the curious nooks and crannies of a century old home and the modern conveniences of a luxury hotel. It’s perfect! We loved Gilded so much we decided to break the shoot into two segments, one casual engagement shoot and one more formal elopement shoot. Working with the talented Kim from Kim Lyn Photography and Sarah from Blush and Dirt for hair and makeup, we had a first rate group as the pictures are proof.
Julianna and Tyler – Engagement Pictures
With everything from sea-side charm to gilded-age architecture, Newport is a perfect place to take your engagement pictures. There are so many choices, when Tyler and Julianna got engaged they couldn’t pick just one spot for pictures! They went to few locations around the city. Starting at Ochre Court they wandered around Bellevue Avenue, went over to Brenton Point, then to Fort Adams for views of the harbor, and finished at Julianna’s grandmother’s house for views from the family property. The couple choose Newport for their wedding and it seemed only fitting that they had their engagement pictures here too!
Must Have Shots for Fall Engagement Pictures
You know how candlelight looks good on everyone? Fall is the same way. The cozy sweaters and warm color tones are flattering on all. Fall engagement sessions are for bright red leaves and gorgeous golden hour pics where everyone’s happy and comfy. When everything is rainbow colors, any location from a corn maze to a dirt road is perfect for pictures. These gorgeous fall e-sesh shots are top on the to-do list!
