Provincetown, MA is a unique place – in so many ways. You get there, and immediately feel the difference. It’s colorful, coquette, cute, and super entertaining – everywhere you turn your head. But above all, it’s the place where Alicia and Mike originally met, spent a while together and Mike proposed. All that being said, the choice for our e-session was pretty obvious.

Our first stop was Race Point beach. At sunset, accompanied by seals, quietly swimming underwater and popping their heads out when you least expect them. The colors in the sky looked like they came from a fairy tale. The wind was playing in Alicia’s hair and everything was just perfect. We got there almost the minute the sun was going down behind the clouds. Magic hour, they call it… Sweeeeet.

On the way back from the beach we stopped at the Race Point Lighthouse for a few more shots before heading to Downtown P-Town for the rest of the session. Whether lit by my flashes, or in the headlights of their own Jeep, or dipped in the ambient P-Town atmosphere, Alicia & Mike looked absolutely amazing together. Their love is so beautiful, and I am so so excited for them! I can only imagine how fabulous they are going to be at the wedding. Let me just take a deep breath….  …Amen! ;)

Cheers,

Meet Grace Mahoney of Blushing Brides. An absolutely amazing  hair and make-up artist from Boston. Grace and I recently met and had this great conversation about doing a photo shoot together. It had to be something different though, something aside from what each of us has done recently, something that would definitely stand out. It had to be hot. Sensual. Timeless. Classic. Victorian. Fairy Tale… Wedding…. There you go!

…And after quick a morning session around my house here we are, at the City Hall in Hartford, several months from the initial conversation, along with our stunningly beautiful model Marisa and the out of this world dresses that Jess Watcke from Bliss Bridal in Cheshire, CT so graciously provided us with.  Needless to say, every single person absolutely ROCKED this shoot, and I am so so happy and blessed to work with such amazing professionals.

Grace did her magic early in the morning – spot on, and exactly how we imagined it to be. Marisa sparkled like a fairy all the way from A to Z, and handled the heat of the day (boy, it was really hot) like a true soldier. What can I say about our dresses…. they were simply magical… …amen!

….This is a tiny bit of what came out of the camera. Enjoy.
