Engagement Session at the Harvard Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, MA

I live in Jamaica Plain and I adore the Arboretum, so when Meg and Chris suggested doing their engagement session there, my answer was an enthusiastic yes! The foliage was incredible on the day we went. Meg and Chris are so down to earth and funny, and they couldn't stop smiling around each other. Basically, it was a wonderful day full of sweet moments. I can't wait to photograph their wedding next fall!

Samantha + Ben // Autumn Engagement Session at the Skylands Manor in Ringwood, NJ

Sam and I know each other through a couple mutual friends. We did a portrait session together a few years ago, so I was so excited to see her name pop up on my newsfeed one day with one of the most touching proposal stories I've ever heard!

"My friend took me for a walk in a park by my house and Ben had all of my closest friends and family there. He wrote 15 poems creating a timeline of our relationship, and he framed each poem. As I walked down the path in the park there were 15 stations of my closest friends holding a picture and reading the poem to me. After the 15 poems I got to a dock and there were rose petals everywhere. It was sunset, and my whole family is there, and the best surprise was that Ben reached out to the family of a 3 year old girl battling cancer who I have become really close with over the year and he had her on the dock holding a sign that said "Sam will you marry Ben?" .... i just lost it! She was in a cinderella outfit and crown, haha, and it was just perfect! Then we went home and all my family friends were there for a mini celebration."

Needless to say, I was thrilled when she got in touch with me, asking if I could do their engagement session! I was in New Jersey for a wedding that Saturday (coming soon!), so we got up early the next day and went to the Skylands Manor in Ringwood, NJ. It was a stunning location on a gorgeous autumn day. And as you'll see, Sam and Ben really couldn't get any cuter. I can't wait to photograph their engagement party later this year! Thanks to Lexi for assisting and taking a few pretty photos alongside me!

Congrats Sam and Ben! I know you have an incredible life together ahead of you!
