Just before the cold weather settled in and the beach grass lost its golden hue here on the Cape we made it out to for one last engagement session at our favorite beach in Falmouth. The session was with our new friends Lauren & Ed, who are getting married in Boston next June. Lauren was referred to us from a co-worker of hers, Tracy Peterson, whose wedding we photographed a couple of weeks ago in Newport (stay tuned for those photos). Thanks Tracy…we love you!!!

We had such a great time with Lauren & Ed. They were silly and sweet and obviously in love. Photographing them was not only a lot of fun, but it was also a breeze…Lauren with her mesmerizing aqua blue eyes and Ed with his killer smile and Hollywood good looks; how could we take a bad photo?! We had such a hard time picking just a few for the blog that we decided instead to share with you the slideshow we put together for them. Have fun!

A big thank you to Lauren & Ed for coming down to the Cape to spend the day with us. You two were such naturals in front of the camera. Thank you for putting your trust in us and for being a really nice end to our season! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

There aren’t many perfect summer evenings left like the one we had with Kate & Pat the other night at Woodneck Beach in Falmouth. Kate & Pat are getting married at the Hyannisport Club next May. We had a fabulous night with them watching the bluefish jumping along the shore. Our session also turned out to be a nice send off for Pat, who was leaving for India on business a few days after our session. Can’t wait to hear about his trip and see some of his photos when he gets back.

Here are a few of our favorites from the session:

Gotta love that Nantucket red…quintessential Cape Cod!

Love Kate’s eyes in this one…she looks like an Ivory girl.

Here we messed around with some layering of textures, something new we’re experimenting with. To do this, we photograph random things that have great texture and layer them over the photo then erase important areas we don’t want covered. We used a photo of a wood shingle from the side of our house for the first photo below. The second one is a secret…but we will tell you it was inspired by our Sunday morning breakfast. Any ideas?

And here’s what it would have looked like without the filter. What do YOU think….better with or without?

The last unofficial weekend of summer couldn’t have been spent with nicer people. On Saturday during Labor Day weekend, we had our engagement session with Sandee & Matt. We knew we liked them as soon as we met them, but after spending a bit more time together it’s now official…we love them!! What a fun couple. Their love for each other and for life is easy to see and made getting some great photos a breeze! We met them at Corporation Beach in Dennis. Matt spent a lot of time at various Dennis Beaches as a kid, so Dennis was special to them and we just LOVE Corporation Beach, with its fabulous sea wall and miles of shoreline. There were so many great shots, but here our some of our favorites. Sandee we know you’ve been waiting for these….here’s just a taste! More to follow soon! xoxo

Here they are cuddling in the marsh grass….too sweet!

Walking the shore at sunset…

Check out this sunset shot Andy got…does he rock or what?

And here’s where things got a bit wet…

And sexy…(mom, dad, close your eyes!)

Thanks Sandee & Matt for being so much fun! We can’t wait for your wedding next summer! We’re sorry you had to take off after our session, but we were thinking of you as we enjoyed our dinner at Scargo! Your images will go online shortly. We’ll let you know as soon as they’re done! Hugs to you both! C&A
