Last week we had the pleasure of finally meeting New York sweeties, Brooke & Will. Brooke’s mom had first reached out to us about photographing her daughter’s wedding last year, after we photographed the wedding of their friends, Kate & Hugh. Although we didn’t really meet Brooke & Will at the wedding, they were there getting their party on.

In just a few months, they will throw their own wedding day party extraordinaire at the stunning New York Yacht Club in Newport. We are super excited to be a part of documenting all that love & celebration!

We had asked Brooke & Will what are some of their favorite things to do together and when they said, “we love riding bikes in the Cape,” we thought this would be the perfect fun activity for them to do together on their bello love session.

Brooke had mentioned she’s not a huge fan of being photographed…which after having met her seems a terrible shame. The girl is stunning and the camera loves her!! So, we thought having something fun to do might help take the edge off. I think it’s safe to say it did, and in the process we were able to capture some super cute moments with these two sweeties.

Bonus….Brooke’s folks had two seriously adorable beach cruisers, which just so happened to match what our lovely couple was wearing. (I might have squealed a little when I saw them!)

A little sun flare + a couple of vintage inspired beach cruisers + a couple in love = photographer heaven.

A little background on these cuties….Brooke & Will met while sitting outside at a restaurant on the Upper East Side. Brooke was with her best friend from college, Paige, and Will, who Paige knew because their moms are friends, walked up and said hi. Curious and interested, Brooke quickly asked, “Who is that?!”

They ended up sitting at nearby tables, and Will came up a few times to see if the girls wanted to go out for drinks after. They did and a spark was ignited. Will asked Brooke out on a date and things continued to move forward in the months that followed.

“Our love definitely grew over time,” they told us. “We had a lot of fun when we first met, but we both take some time to get to know.”

For Memorials Day, about six month after that first meeting, they took at trip to San Francisco to visit Will’s sister and tour the vineyards. It became clear then that their love had grown deep. “There was no specific moment, but there was just something about that trip,” Brooke said.

Brooke’s beautiful face lights up when she looks at Will…it’s really just the sweetest thing to see.

Love this fun perspective…

It was so sweet watching them together. Although Brooke told us she was nervous being photographed, those nerves seemed to result in the biggest, most lovely smiles. I’m kind of hoping she’s just as nervous at the wedding. It’s working for you, girl! 😉

For this next photo, I can almost hear whistling, like from the old Andy Griffith show reruns (whicccchhh….my parents, no grandparents…yeah, that’s the ticket…told me about. I’ve never actually seen it. That would have been waaaaaay before my time! That’s my story & I’m sticking to it!!) It just feels so sweet, wholesome and happy.

Happy. Happy. Happy.

Sweet & wholesome too.

Weeeeeeeeeeee…this is fun!

After goofing around for a bit, we headed back to Brooke’s parents’ place to drop off the bikes and then head to the beach. But, first a quick pic to take advantage of the gorgeous blossoming tree.

Hi cuties!!

A setting sun and a little snuggling with your sweetie….Cape Cod perfection.

kisses and cuddles…

and giggles and silhouettes oh my!

As we were driving out of the beach, we spotted this gorgeous red fox and I had to stop for a quick photo. Isn’t he/she beautiful!?!

Brooke & Will thank you both so much for spending all of that time with us…we know it was a tad more than your hungry little belly would have liked, Brooke, but we appreciate it and hope you find after seeing this sneak peek that it was worth it! We had such a great time with you both and can’t wait to be there with you later this summer as you say, “I do!” Thank you too Susan, Alan & Tripp for making us feel so welcome!! See you all again soon! Until then, big hugs, Chris & Andy xoxo
