I was smitten with Melissa and Ben from their very first email last fall. Melissa wrote with great humor and love about their plans for their New Hampshire wedding, their families, and the two of them. She shared “We are both deeply nerdy in very different ways. He loves sci-fi and video games. I studied poetry in graduate school and somehow am now a software engineer (life is weird). We met when we worked for Apple, me at the Genius Bar and him on the sales floor. It was not love at first sight (he messed up my name upon introduction and I sassed him for it. ahh, young love!), but every day since then has been a joyful adventure. We are so delightfully perfect for one another despite being so very different.”
As a photographer, I have a little running list of places at which I’d like to photograph, some close to home, some more far-flung. I was thrilled when Melissa and Ben mentioned the Mass Audubon Habitat in Belmont as a potential site for their engagement session, as it’s a place they enjoy visiting together and it’s been on my list. We met one warm evening, followed the paths through forests and fields, saw birds and bunnies, and made portraits along the way. I loved hearing about their relationship, seeing their easy smiles and laughs, and the contrast of Melissa’s red hair with the surrounding greenery.
If you like what you see, and are interested in having me photograph your engagement session or wedding at the Mass Audubon Habitat in Belmont, please get in touch.
