XuanMai and Joe grew up together. They met in high school and have been together ever since. When choosing a spot for their Lovebird Session I recommended a park, maybe even a downtown spot but, they had something else in mind. The neighborhood where they grew up, which just happened to be on the lake. The turnout? Absolutely beautiful. Fall is definitely here and this was the perfect way to kick it off.

I met up with Alisha & Joe just a few weeks ago in Newport, RI for their couples session. Although it was way colder and winder than we expected, they braved through it and we came out with some pretty amazing images :) Alisha & Joe met through some mutual friends 3 years ago on the 1st. Alisha was actually great friends with Joe's cousin and before you knew it, Joe and her met and the rest was history. I had a blast on their session and loved capturing their story.

Check out some of the highlights from their session!

A lot of photographers say that the winter sucks for taking photos but honestly, I think it's an opportunity to be different. Not a lot of couples take photos in the winter, therefore it's unique and special, just like these two. 

Meet: Isabelle & Alessandro 

If you've been keeping up with the blog, I've met Isabelle about 8 years ago and Alessandro about 5 years ago. Their "across the world love" quickly grew into something more and now they're getting married this August and I am honestly honored to be their wedding photographer. A lot of times, I'd decline to be a photographer at a friends wedding, especially a friend who feels more like family. But for these two, I honestly can't wait for their big day. It's going to be magical. 

I love you guys! Enjoy :)
