Sarah + Terry's Martha's Vineyard Engagement Session

What an amazing first trip to Martha's Vineyard! (for Janet...not a first for Will!)

it was a SPLENDIDLY almost-cloudless, 70-something degree day.

Sarah and Terry (and their family and their pups!) were fantastic company, and terrific island tour guides - we cannot WAIT to go back in October for their wedding!

thanks so much for choosing us to document your big day!

Patti + Eric : Publick House Memorial Day Wedding

On Memorial Day we had the pleasure of shooting our very first Publick House wedding! This is a gorgeous venue about zero minutes from our home, so we were thrilled that Patti + Eric chose us to document their big day!

It was a slightly rainy day - but nothing this crew couldn't handle

It was a day FILLED with love and tons of personality - the groom and his groomsmen wore funky socks....

.....it seems somebody put poo on the Best Man's beer.... o.O

Rather than a "unity candle" or "sand pouring" ceremony...these two opted to pour and share a mixed drink - called the "Bunny Fart" in some circles, "Amortentia" in others.

ewwwww, boys are grossssss

#YankeesFans #WaitAMinute .....

They made a wicked cool photo wall, complete with their kitties, Dumbledore, and Cousin Eddie!

The new husband-and-wife danced their first dance to one of my favorite songs, "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young ...

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

They were the proud recipients of fancy new fanny packs....

and the re-gifted bread-maker!

They had an uber-colorful Candy Bar with stache-bags...

But most importantly, they spent the day surrounded by the people that love them the most in the world <3

Thanks again for allowing us to be part of your Big Day, Patti and Eric!

Dockter Family Thanksgiving

On 'black Friday' there are SO many better things to do than trample our fellow humans in the fight for junk we don't need...

such as hang out and photograph the Lovely Linda and her ever-growing brood of children, children-in-law, grandchildren - and of course, Riley the beagle!
