Did I ever mention how I have THE best clients? Jessica & JT had their engagement session on the books for quite some time, & luck would have it the day that they had scheduled was going to be a beautiful, rare warm day in February. However, a few days before Jessica informed me that something unexpected came up, & that they needed to move their session earlier in the day if possible. Seeing that Jessica & JT were also visiting from out of town this past weekend, I was determined to accommodate their schedule to get them in. Only problem? The lighting is not the best earlier in the day as it is right before sunset….unless you had a SUNRISE session. I hesitated even bringing up the idea because let’s face it, who wants to get up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning for pictures? Turns out, these two love birds were up for the challenge! I was so excited when they agreed to a sunrise engagement session, & I’d say it was definitely worth it! We decided to meet at 7am on the grounds of Blandy Farm. I made sure to show up with Dunkin Donuts & coffee in hand (donuts were eaten afterwards, of course lol) to help wake them up, & warm them up since it was also only 30 degrees outside! We initially made our way to the open fields, & took our first shots as the sun was still rising from behind the mountain. As soon as the sun made it’s appearance, we had the most magical light. At times it was even a little tricky finding the right angles as the sun flare was so strong on my lens, but it was definitely worth waking up for. Needless to say, I had so much fun hanging out & getting to know these two. This was definitely one of my most memorable sessions due to the timing & the playful atmosphere between Jessica & JT. The chemistry between these two was “golden” 😉
Jessica & JT, thank you so much for waking up at the crack of dawn with me! I’m so happy that you agreed to a sunrise session, & I hope you fall in love with your photos as much as I did. Here are just a few of my favorites from your session. I can’t wait to capture your special day on June 24th!
Enjoy!
