Have you ever met two people and thought, “They would be perfect for each other?” That’s exactly what a mutual friend thought when she met Victoria & Mike. So, she introduced them and, as she predicted, they became fast friends. Fast forward six years, and wedding bells are ringing for these two Canadian natives now living and working in the Big Apple.

We met up with Victoria and Mike recently at Bourne Farm in Falmouth, which coincidentally is where Andy & I said, “I do!” seven blissful years ago.

It was one of those perfect fall days when the air was crisp and the colors vibrant. Although they were a little nervous at the start, Victoria and Mike seemed to fall right into the swing of things and enjoy each other and our session as much as Andy & I enjoyed photographing them! Check it out…

Can we talk for a second about how cute Mike is sitting there with his hands folded? Seriously….adorable!!! Big serious softie!!! Love it!

I know this feeling well….the comfort that comes from reaching out and touching the person you love most. Just holding and examining each others hands and thinking….I’m holding onto this person until our hands are old and wrinkled and tell a thousand stories of our life together.

I love this one….it’s the expressions on their faces. We have the advantage of knowing them a little, but I still think this photo tells you a lot about who they are and how they are with each other. And it always excites me, the thought that a single image, a frozen moment in time, can instantly tell a story. I just love that! The gorgeous fall colors in the background are pretty nice too!

Are they sweet or what??

Another one that I think really tells a story about who they are. I just love their very natural, genuine smiles! I can’t help but smile looking at this one.

How cool are these faded grape vines? Love them and the frame they provide for these next two images!! So fun!

It wouldn’t be a Bello session without a butt shot! I LOVE this one!

Cozying up with some hay bails! Seriously, are they adorable or what???

This is one of my favorites from the session. I just love the way the eye is immediately drawn down the rock bridge to Victoria & Mike snuggling as if there is no one else in the world in that moment. But what I love most about it is that when I look at it, I can still hear the sound of Mike’s infectious giggle traveling down to the other end of the bridge as we were taking this shot. Love it!!

It was kind of an overcast afternoon, but the light on the top of this hill was amazing! It just seemed to light up their faces as they goofed around! So fun!

Victoria & Mike, thank you both so much for letting down your guard and trusting us to capture your wonderful relationship in this way! We had such a nice time with you both and are so excited to be there with you, your families and friends, when you formally commit your lives to one another. It is obvious that you two care deeply for one another and that you were meant to be together! We feel honored that you want us to be there with you during this exciting time!!! With big hugs, Christine & Andy
