It was a gorgeous day at Belle Mer. I love sunbursts and when shooting in the afternoon you get plenty of them in mid-summer on the water. I purposely removed my lens hood so I could get this effect when shooting straight into the sun. Most people boost the colors, but as a B&W lover I decided to process it in this manner and love it. I always set aside a few images every year and revisit them in the winter and try different processing techniques. I’d love if a couple would tell me “we want the entire album in B&W prints”

Newport RI engagement photography session of Beth and Chris - Beth and Chis are a local couple and during the process of getting to know one another we really hit it off. They have many of the same tastes and are just fun vibrant people to be around. They really love one another and it shows within one minute of spending time with them. The engagement session was shot on Saturday the 18th in December in Newport, RI and we beat out the big Nor’easter by a couple of hours. Newport is a special place for both as Chris loves sailing and Beth is a graduate of Salve Regina. Even though it was cold and windy they smiled through jittering and had a lot of fun while playing around in front of the camera that afternoon.

These photographs were made at the Sakonnet Vineyards in Rhode Island. The officiant was giving instructions to the groom and his groomsmen and I decided to step away and use my wide angle lens to capture the entire scene. I started shooting up close, but I try to shoot every situation from a hundred angles is I have time so I started to back up and saw the scene above open in front of me. I always bring a wide angle lens with me and this is exactly the reason why.

It was a true New England spring day with that early season electric green grass and dandelions that had gone by all over the lawn. It was overcast, but for me that just softened the light and allowed for some beautiful photographs.
