It's not every day your best friend gets engaged!


You can imagine my delight to have the opportunity to take some photos to celebrate their beautiful relationship. We had the most fun road-tripping around the North Shore to find the perfect spots for pictures. The weather said rain all day, but somehow not a drop fell the whole time. Jess and Brent brought along their adorable dog Brody and Jess's mom ("Nanny Jules" as I call her) to help wrangle Brody when he wasn't needed in the shot. We started at the Tip Top Tulips field in Ipswich (near and dear to my heart because last year it their locations was right out our front door!), then the gorgeous Chandler Hovey Park in Marblehead. This place has almost 360 degrees of ocean view, so for lighting it's a photographer's dream! While a lot of guys have a hard time loosening up in front of the camera, I have to give it to Brent that he was game for anything I asked him to do (and then some!). This is going to be an amazing wedding and I'm so excited to be a part of this wonderful couple's lives for decades to come. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day:
