Molly & Luke | Maudslay State Park Engagement

Molly & Luke requested fall foliage for their engagement photos. Lucky for us, we hit the peak weekend at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, MA back in October! Of course, we didn’t realize we were going to be right in the middle of a Halloween event. But that’s the fun of photo sessions, they’re always full of surprises! We worked our way around the crowds to capture some great photos.

I love that this year’s wedding clients are opting for engagement sessions. Many of them have not been in front of a professional camera before as a couple. Taking advantage of an engagement session not only allows you to get to know your photographer a little more. It lets you get some experience being photographed prior to the wedding day. When that day comes, you’ll be familiar with the way your photographer will work with you, and your big day will go much more smoothly. Who doesn’t want that?

Check out some of my favorites of Molly & Luke! I am looking forward to their wedding at the beautiful (and recently renovated) Danversport this coming September!

Jess & Joe – Mission Oak Grill Wedding | Newburyport, MA

There are so many beautiful seaside towns in New England, and Newburyport is definitely one of them! Jess & Joe were married in a church ceremony, followed by their reception at Mission Oak Grill. Full of history and charm, you can find lots of small shops, restaurants, and more. There are always fun events happening! It’s a beautiful place to get married too.

With many inns to use as getting ready spots, surrounded by some great intimate event venues, there are options for all couples. Most places are within walking distance of each other as well! We were able to take photos downtown, in the park and on the pier. Multiple locations give your portraits lots of variety, but it’s not always easy to get to more than one place. It’s very easy in Newburyport, as long as the weather is cooperating!

After the photos, we headed to the function room in the upstairs of Mission Oak Grill for their reception. One of my favorite details at the reception was the cake and cookie bar. Jess is a baker and made her own wedding cake! Personal touches are a great addition to any wedding day and I love seeing all the different things my clients create 🙂
