I’m excited to share some beautiful pictures from Lauren and Michael’s November 28 wedding! These guys chose to have an intimate ceremony and dinner at The LeMont on Mount Washington. Talk about a room with a view! They hired me not long before the big day, for basic coverage of the ceremony and a photoshoot of the newlyweds. Michael is a photography-lover like me (check out his website here), and so we ended up with two things that only made the photoshoot work out beautifully: gorgeous light (the right time of day!) and plenty of time (2 full hrs set aside for just the two of them!). Of course we didn’t plan the weather, but really lucked out on that one, too (yay!). We didn’t have to use the full two hours for the photoshoot, but having that cushion really helped these guys relax and enjoy the session… and now we can all enjoy the beautiful images that resulted!
It helps that they are obviously in love and unafraid to show affection with each other…
Anyway, we started off at the LeMont, gearing up with flowers and rings before heading out for the shoot. Thanks to Torin for all his help on the big day!!

We started off in the restaurant entryway with some shots framed in the doorway. Torin grabbed this great candid of Lauren from outside the door- love it!


It was a short hike up to my favorite Mt. Washington spot, where we braved the slight wind for some gorgeous images in front of the city. Love this first one!


Just down the street there was a little pathway into the sun that I just had to use- I absolutely LOVE this image, the way Lauren’s dress is picking up in the wind, their body language leaning in toward each other, the soft sunset light…. Just perfect!!

I thought the fence was pretty cool so we took some from a few different angles around there, working with the glare whenever possible.

Love the quiet emotion in this one, especially with the fence separating us. It’s like they have their own private moment there.

I just love Lauren’s expression in this next one!

Despite the brisk temperatures, Lauren was an absolute trooper for the whole shoot. It helps to steal a little of her groom’s warmth, too… I loved the emotion in this next shot.

And how about that gorgeous gorgeous light! I picked this particular shot because I think the wind picking up the groom’s suit tail is a beautiful touch.

I had fun with the urban look in these next one, lying down on the ground for just the right angle. Ha! I applied a special treatment to it as well, to highlight the grungy area in contrast to the fresh beauty of the bride and groom. Love it!

And time to button up before continuing our walk down the street!

This building was adjacent to the LeMont; I just loved the shadows of the trees lining the wall.

How about the warmth of the sunset here! I love the way Lauren is peeking up into the lens..

This next image is my favorite of the day- what a perfect sunset moment, elegantly framed by the winter trees!

Got a couple of the beautiful bride…


(How about the light in that last one??)

And a couple of the handsome groom… (and I mean that completely objectively of course!)
Michael had a particular talent for posing with the right expressions. Very suave professional like.

Loved the sunset light casting bride and groom shadows

And then back in the warmth of the restaurant, how about this photojournalistic style shot in the hallway!

Of course had to use that mirror for a couple posed images, too…

We got a couple in front of the windows of the room, overlooking the city…


…and then Michael and Lauren shared their vows with their families present.

Love this cake-cutting shot with their families looking on!

Michael and Lauren, I wish you both the best of luck in everything! Be sure to take lots and lots of photos in Italy- I can’t wait to see them!
