These are the emails that excite me the most:

25 months in advance of their wedding, I received this inquiry from Jen. “We are having an afternoon wedding at Portsmouth Country Club. I know it’s far in advance but having looked at your photos, I don’t want to miss out on the opportunity!”

We met up for coffee and we talked like old friends. Then they emailed me and gave me the beautiful news that they truly didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity for me to photograph their wedding!

A few fun facts from our Q&A before we get to their absolutely fun filled Sunset Portsmouth NH Engagement Shoot!

How did you meet? Through mutual friends; we had been friends for a number of years before becoming a couple

What are you most excited about leading up to the wedding day? Dress shopping and the engagement shoot!

What are you most excited about ON your wedding day? Having all of our closest friends and family there with us! Then we get to do it all over again when we have our second wedding a week later in Bosnia!
