A couple lays on a blanket in Maudsley State Park for their vintage engagement photos. A wine bottle sits in a basket among old books on a quilt in a field in Newburyport. Vintage Engagement Photos, Check! Heather put every detail you see here in motion. She had the quilt from a family heirloom. I think the vintage books really make the photo as well as the mystery of not seeing the couple's face in the photo. I love the faded colors of the photo to help set the mode. It's not an action I use on a lot of photos, although, when it works, it works. Heather and Chris have been my friends for a long time. When Chris was in college at UMass with me, he introduced me to my now husband Seth. I was so excited when he asked me to shoot his engagement photos with his wife-to-be. Heather has a Martha Stewart gene that she pulls out every once in a while. She pulled this entire engagement shoot together and the details were flawless. She found the books, the basket, and the blanket. I believe the blanket was a quilt her mom made. I love this photo because it gives the hint of love without having to actually see their faces. This has to be one of my favorite engagement photos I have ever taken. Heather and Chris ended up getting married in New Hampshire at a cute barn and the photos were just as beautiful up there! I was not able to shoot the wedding, but the details Heather put in were amazing. The funny thing about this shoot is after it, I got a parking ticket. I didn't realize you had to pay to go to this park (who knew!).
