When Christine officially became a #MorganHopeBride, she emailed with the subject line that read… “The one where we would love for you to be our wedding photographer.” 

The second I saw that Friends reference I knew we were gonna be best friends. 

I met up with Christine and James on Long Sands Beach in Maine and wow guys! The light, the colors, the weather… everything about this session just screams New England summer. I swear they should be featured on the front of a Nantucket magazine or something. 

Once we got to the point in the session where I knew they could handle harder poses, I taught James how to do the famous nuzzle, and it instantly became one of his favorite poses. I don’t think I’ve ever had a groom get so excited about perfecting the nuzzle like James did. He even told Christine that when they send out their save the dates they have to put the nuzzle shot on there! It literally made my day!

Both of these two are so sweet and really genuine. I had so much fun getting to know them that it felt like their session was only 20 minutes long. In reality it ended up being around an hour and a half, but my time with them went by so quickly! It’s definitely true when they say time flies when you’re having fun. 

They’re getting married right on the seacoast next year in Rye NH at one of my all time favorite spots! I’m getting super excited just thinking about how epic their wedding portraits are going to be! 

Enjoy getting to know Christine and James visually through some of my faves!
