Spending the afternoon with Courtney and Mike in my favorite park Elizabeth Park was, dare I say, a walk in the park! You snort laughed, I heard you! It’s always a fun challenge to photograph my couples or families in the Elizabeth Park that I grew up going to, since I have been seeing it with the same eyes ever since I was a little girl. The challenge is in seeing this park, my Elizabeth Park, with fresh, new eyes. Every couple I bring here brings something new and different to our session, so I let that guide me, along with the time of year, which will usually yield something beautiful and colorful for our backdrop! Then there is the light, and oh how I love how it changes from the day to day and season to season! I know each little nook that it peeks through at certain times off the year, and even though I know this I love being continually surprised and amazed at how beautiful this light is each and every time I photograph there! As you can see from Courtney and Mike’s pictures below, I saw this session in mostly black and white, which may seem strange seeing as we went in the Fall, and live in New England and well, it’s usually so colorful and vibrant! And, it is! But the love and tenderness I saw and felt through these images of Courtney and Mike just felt like black and white was the right choice for them, and for their images. You don’t become distracted by a pop of bright color in the background and just get sucked right in to their smiles and laughs and the tender way they look at one another. This is making me even more excited for your wedding, Courtney and Mike! I can’t wait to see you both again and to meet all of your friends and families! It’ll be here before we know it!! XOXO
