Light and Airy Engagement Photos in the White Mountains of NH

When I first spoke with Hannah about the possibility of me photographing her wedding- she said she was looking for a down to earth person who won’t stress everyone out. Well- she came to the right place! LOL I have a philosophy about wedding photography and that is… “I believe that the couple and their guests should be present for the wedding day, and not standing in line for photos the entire time.” It’s true to… I really believe that! Additionally- the couple and the photographer need to mesh, not only in photo style- but in personality.

Hannah and Matt

Well, one thing is for sure they make the most adorable couple- they are also so very kind hearted! Both are DPT’s (Doctors of Physical Therapy) and travel all over providing their professional services, so they often spend much time apart. But like Matt said, ” The time they spend apart- only makes the time together more special.”

When we met for their Engagement Session, we chatted all about things they like to do together. And it just so happens that Hannah and I are “Iron Man Wife Survivors“. Meaning we’ve survived the constant talk about the race for hours upon hours both before the race and well after the completion!!! LOL (I don’t really know if that’s a real thing; “Iron Man Wive Survivors” but it should be a club- because the struggle is real! LOL )

We had the perfect day for our session, which resulted in truly beautiful Light and Airy Engagement photos! It was a tad chilly… (Okay- it was downright cold when the wind blew!) but that only made for more authentic photos of these two cuddling! And I got to see their custom re-designed Van in which they travel in together!

How did you two lovebirds meet?

We initially met in Physics course in undergrad at Ithaca College (and then met again several times at various college parties LOL)

What did you do on your first date? (and was is fun, awkward, nervous etc)

We went to get coffees on a study break during midterms week. We were definitely both nervous and didn’t kiss until our 3rd date!

How did he propose?

Matt took me down for dinner in the Ithaca Commons and then we went to an ice sculpture show which was beautifully lit up and snowy – that’s where he got down on 1 knee!

What do you both do for fun? Hobbies?

We love to hike, travel and generally have adventures together (and you know one of us loves to bike more than the other LOL)

Do either of you have funny quirks or habits that drives the other nuts? (HAHA)

Yes!! Matt always only partially closes cabinets/drawers and I never clean out the sink!

As a couple who is currently actively planning your wedding- can you offer any advice to other couples? What would be your biggest piece of advice?

Don’t get too caught up in the little details!
