May, 2010:

Mariesa and Jon are about the nicest couple you could ever meet. First of all, Mariesa’s laugh is infectious- and you can’t spend two minutes with them without smiling and laughing along with them both. Lu, the dog, is adorable and the three together make up the perfect family! We decided that their engagement session should be a miniature tour of where they met and fell in love. Mariesa was working at Pac Sun and Jon was finishing up college at UVM. They met through friends and found out that they lived about eight houses away from each other, both across the street from Battery Park.

We started our tour with a walk on Church Street, taking a necessary stop at one of their old stomping grounds-Ken’s Pizza. From there, it was onto Pac Sun, the waterfront, Battery Park and a visit to both their old homes. Two hours later, and after hundreds of pictures and lots of laughter, I said goodbye to Mariesa and Jon (and Lu) until their wedding on August 8th. It will definitely be one of the summer’s finest, as the event is at Mountain Top Resort in Chittenden, with one of the most picture perfect vistas in the state! OOh, I love what I do!

(Make sure you watch the video slide show after the teaser photos. It’s the smile you need today-with one of my favorite songs by BeeBee and CeeCee!!!!)

Mary and Mindy have been together for 22 years! They, along with their two dogs, Jovi and Nikko, are already a family and living a beautiful life in New Hampshire. But now, with the recent passing of the New Hampshire Marriage Equality Act, these two lovebirds are finally getting hitched! I will be shooting their wedding next July in New Hampshire and last week the family made the 90 minute trip to Burlington for their engagement session.

Since we didnt want to traumatize the pups–both loveable rescue dogs, of course!- we decided to spend a couple of hours in the park, just enjoying the sunshine and the sounds of spring. It was such a fun afternoon annd Jovi and Niko had a ball! To Mary and Mindy: You are both awesome and I can’t wait to watch you exchanging your vows…And I’ll keep an eye on you on Facebook to see how the wedding plans are coming!
