When it comes to where and when to shoot an engagement session here in Massachusetts I am pretty open. Over the years as a photojournalist for various newspapers I have shot in pretty much every condition: pouring rain, direct sun, snow, anti-government protests, etc.. The one thing I always tell my couples, though, is that sunrise and sunset are the times to aim for if you want that awesome soft-light that makes everything look a little bit like a dream. Very rarely do people take me up on a sunrise session. Catherine and Tim took me up on a sunrise engagement session at Moore State Park.
Here’s the thing about this engagement session: what you see in these photos was the only nice part of the day. The weather was forecasted to be terrible and it pretty much was until we arrived at Moore State Park… in the dark. The three of us all knew that we probably didn’t have too much time so we set out to get as many great photos as we could. We ended up getting a whole session in with the rain coming back as we got back into our cars. Whenever I see these photos I always think about them as extra lucky.
Engagement sessions come with all of my wedding packages. If you want to have a sunrise engagement session, sunset engagement session, or a special blizzard engagement session then I want to hear from you!
