Outdoor Engagement

Photos from a surprise mountain top proposal in Acadia National Park. Beautiful secret spot in Maine on Mount Desert Island.

Mount Desert Island (MDI) summers are full of magic! Meghan & Ben seemed more than happy to prove this right during an epic Acadia sunset sailing photography session. Our time with them meandering Southwest Harbor on a Friendship Sloop was beyond words.

If you’ve spent more than a few minutes with us, then chances are you know that Acadia is our favorite place on earth. So when a couple asks us about Acadia National Park engagement pictures, we’re picking up our cameras before they finish the sentence.

Jen & Darin wasted no time post proposal scheduling their Kailua Engagement photos! Literally the next weekend we were out at dawn on Lanikai Beach letting the romance flow! I would say that their intense love was still feeling the effects of the proposal in an outpouring of emotion, but I’ve come to realize that these two are always this affectionate and in love! They are also full of fun and love for the outdoors, which makes a beach session all that much more adventurous!

Many believe the path to love is the greatest adventure. Isabelle and Noah totally prove that the wedding is only just the beginning! Married two years ago, they were in Bar Harbor for a friend’s wedding. With each friend who gets married outside of their New York City home base they create a mini-vacation. Filling extra time with outdoor activity, sight seeing, road tripping, and good eats. So they were happy to fill a short notice vacancy for our Acadia engagement photos session.

The weather was almost as awesome as our couple for this Lanikai Beach Engagement session. Kat and Joe came to Oahu from South Carolina by way of the Navy. Ever seen Hunt for Red October? You’re gonna LOVE this story then! Joe is a submariner working on a Virginia class submarine stationed out of Pearl Harbor.

Washington DC, home of US politics, cherry blossoms and Kate & Keith’s annual April whirlwind tour! Exactly one year ago we roadtripped it down for Josh and Thea’s Jefferson Memorial wedding. This year became our past and current client extravaganza!

We had a blast with this Kualoa Beach Park Engagement session! Langdon and John have a story almost as beautiful as their love. John is military and deployed in 2010 to the Phillippines where he met Langdon (working for the US Pacific Command.) By mid May of 2011, after posts in between, they found themselves both on Oahu. Fate was smiling on them and it only took one weekend for their friendship to develop into love.

Who says you can’t keep marrying the man of your dreams? While on their one year anniversary trip to Oahu, Connie contacted me to do a Kailua Hawaii engagement session. A hop skip and a jump from the Bay Area, we finally had a break in the rain for some fun on the beach!
