Hi Blog Readers! Â I just wanted to share this amazing e-mail I got from Dorothy and Kevin. Â I seriously get to work with the BEST couples!! Â I received this e-mail the other day, and it just reminded me WHY we do what we do and how lucky we are to have the coolest job ever! Â

Â

Vicki and Erik,

        I don’t know how to thank you enough for your amazing work on our engagement photos! When Kevin and I saw our engagement photos for the first time yesterday, we both almost cried. You managed to take the love we have for each other and infuse and reflect that in all the photos that you took and the result just took our breath away. And we are not the only ones who feel that way – in fact, everyone who has caught a glimpse of the photos has voiced the same amazement as we have at their beauty and quality. They’re just…well…perfect! I can hardly wait for the wedding! And above and beyond being great photographers, you both are just great people – and to Kevin and myself, that is hugely important! Unlike some photographers who give the impression that they’re out to do a job, you truly love what you do and you care about each of your couples’ stories and about telling those amazing love stories in photos. Aside from deciding to marry each other, hiring you as our photographers is one of the best decisions we’ve made! Please accept our heartfelt thanks and please know that you’ve contributed in such a positive way to the wedding planning process and to our love story. We look forward to talking to you soon!

Love,Â
Dorothy & Kevin

Dorothy lived in Boston and Kevin lives in South Carolina. They met on a cruise. Dorothy’s sister encouraged her to talk to him. Sparks flew and they kept in touch. Kevin made multiple trips to Boston and Dorothy visited him in North Carolina. Now they are engaged, and they continue to travel back and forth to see each other. How romantic!

Erik and I were so happy to take a trip to Boston to meet Dorothy and Kevin. We knew it would be hard to find a time when we were all available, but this long weekend Kevin and his parents were visiting Kevin’s soon to be in-laws. It was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a more magical day! Not to mention I love Boston – and this was Erik’s first time is this beautiful city, having lived most of his life in California.

We met up with Dorothy and Kevin at the Boston Common. This was my first time meeting Kevin as well, and as soon as I saw them together, all I could think was “wow!” They are one ‘magnetic’ couple – some people just belong together.

We started off by these willow trees. Have I ever mentioned how much I love willow trees??

The weather was so amazing – I love the ducks in this one.

We found this fun lightpost

Did I mention how insanely gorgeous they are??

LOVE the sun rays…

So handsome!

I love how they look at each other.

This girl should be on a runway!

On the bridge…

The fall leaves

We liked this yellow tree

Then we headed to Carson Beach in Southie! This was where they had their first kiss ; )
Erik and I are both very physical when we shoot, and we will do practically anything to get the shot. This is nothing new, but I say this because halfway during our time on the beach Erik flicked his hand and his wedding band flew off. We searched for a good 20 minutes (Dorothy & Kevin you both are saints!) and no luck finding it. As Erik said – someone who needs it more than us will find it and have a very happy day! We felt bad because Dorothy and Kevin were more concerned than we were – we were certainly bummed for a minute, but once we realized it was lost we didn’t want to lose the good light too!!! We had some seriously SICK light! Have a look.

One of my favs:

Dorothy and Kevin are just natural posers. They just sort of fell into this one and it made me a little emotional to see because it reminds me of a picture I have of my grandparents on their honeymoon. I will have to post it sometime. They are seriously just too stinkin’ cute!

LOVE this one too!

I just had to post this one. I asked them if they felt up to running a bit. Dorothy was like “Seriously?” and off they ran. I think Dorothy may be a bit on the competitive side ; ) This just cracks me up!

I love sunset so much – and I really love how when you turn 180 degrees you can get an entirely different feel to an image. Dorothy loves the purple sky! I love the moon, and soft light….

Dorothy & Kevin we had an amazing time with you both!! Thank you so much for spending the afternoon with us and giving us a taste of Boston and of course, Southie! And thank you for helping us look for Erik’s lost wedding band. We are looking forward to your wedding next year!

Vicki (& Erik)

P.S. Yellow Car! (This is a *fun* new game Kevin & Dorothy introduced us to).

Nancy and Erik met up with us at the Milford Duck Pond yesterday for their engagement session. It was another gorgeous day and the light was amazing! It only took Nancy and Erik about 5 minutes to get comfortable and for Nancy to start laughing. They were so much fun, and she has such an infectious laugh! It wasn’t long before my husband Erik & I were cracking up. I was smiling the whole time I was editing these too, remembering the laughter.

Look at those eyes!

Love this one – they are too cute.

Love the arch in this bridge.

Great moment that Erik captured:

The ring!

Walking over to the waterfall:

One of my favorites from the day:

My absolute favorite – one of the last shots of the day.

We had a great time with you both! Looking forward to the wedding – not much longer now!!
