Meet Chris and Kristin. We like them very much…you will too! We can’t wait to photograph their wedding day at the Mt. Washington Hotel this fall! Their engagement session was particularly memorable for reasons to follow…

Reason #1. We started our morning at Cathedral Ledge in North Conway with the gorgeous White Mountains so kindly arranged as our backdrop! “I…am always glad to touch the living rock again and dip my hand in the high mountain air.” – John Muir

Reason #2. Quite evident in the picture below…wow!

Reason #3. They were good sports and willing to do terrifying things like stand in the middle of the road for us! Shortly after this photo, Chris chivalrously removed Kristin from the path of oncoming cars. :)

Reason #4. Refer to Reason #2

Reason #5. Kerry, for convincing the sky to do this for him.

And finally, (AKA Reason #6.) We were able to get these shots before we were very politely asked to leave our favorite train station. Apparently, that day was Thomas the Train day and without tickets, we weren’t invited. :( I will say that the man who asked us to leave was very nice and we appreciated his gentle manner.

Thank you guys for such a fun day!

THE END

<edit>…not quite: view their wedding photos!

Ok, folks, I know, I know… yes, it’s been a while…So sorry about that, really. It might have something to do with the major remodeling project we have going at our house right now (as in, completely ripping out our floor, right down to the dirt!). But anyway, we have still been shooting and this post is proof! Rhonda Demone is a photographer from Nova Scotia who contacted us a few months ago and booked a shoot to coincide with her Family’s vacation in North Conway. We got together with Rhonda, Brian and the kids last week for the shoot and had a blast! The kids were awesome and thanks to mom being a photog, were used to being in front of the camera. We had a great time and want to thank the Demone’s for choosing Birch Blaze! Here are some of our favorites from the session…

Here’s one of those shots that was kind of like an inbetween shot, but with this treatment I think it takes on a very poetic feel:

What a beautiful and fun family! We had a great time and hopefully, one of these days we’ll drive up to Nova Scotia and say hi. Thanks again Rhonda, Brian and kids, and your image disc is on its way!
