Wentworth by the Sea engagement photos, New Hampshire engagement photographers | Beth and Bob

Our engagement shoot with Beth and Bob had to be rescheduled more than a couple of times due to our 'luck' with picking a day that ending up being rainy. Good news is we actually would prefer to reschedule and get some amazing weather than to have our clients suffer in crappy weather.  A little drizzle never hurts but once it starts down-pouring = shoot is over.  So after going back and forth we finally got a day that worked.  Beth and Bob chose New Castle New Hampshire and around Wentworth by the Sea for the shoot which ended up being perfect.  We found a bunch of cool locations on the coast right there and a little drizzle here and there provided the amazing clouds, throw in a fun couple and boom - see below.  Recipe for success.  Can't wait to work with you guys at your wedding up in Bar Harbor Maine at the Bar Harbor Club, Acadia National Park here we come (ok, well in two weeks, but we're excited)!

Flower gardens were in full bloom at Wentworth by the Sea.

Which do you like better B&W or Color? Tough call...

Bridal Shoes | You know what they say about brides with small feet? | Cape Cod wedding photographers

Small shoes.  And why is it that the smaller the shoe the cuter it is? And when shoes go on sale, there are always a bunch of cute ones that are just too small (for me at least) remaining.

A couple weeks ago Randall and I shot this beautiful wedding at Willowbend Country Club down on Cape Cod.  When we first show up and begin the photography at every wedding, we like to get to know the bridal party and the parents since this is usually the first time we are meeting them. In this case one of the bridesmaids was a previous bride of ours that we photographed last year on Cape Cod at Wychmere.

As we are chatting with everyone I begin to photograph some of the brides details for the day, jewelry, college banners, and of course the shoes! I saw the shoes and immediately knew that they had to be at least three sizes smaller than my 8.5! So cute! My feet haven’t been that size since I was 8 years old!

You might be wondering what type of heel doesn’t maintain its beauty in larger sizes. I believe this is in the eye of the beholder. That said there are some clues to watch out for, extensive ornate detail, or very shinny. Those traits make a shoe actually seem bigger than it is.

Some shoes are cuter smaller. These heels were very cute, I think this style can hold up as a small or larger size and still maintain the classic bridal feel. The pro’s about this style of heel:
1)    The platform toe allows the heel to not feel as high, allowing there to be less of a height differential from the ball of the foot to the heel.
2)    The high heel is perfect for bridging the gap in the height difference between a tall groom and a shorter bride (we love this for the photos because the groom will maintain better posture while kissing his bride!)
3)    The white lace provides airflow on these hot July weddings; also the fabric allows more stretch (in case of swelling in the heat, less chance of blistering or rubbing).

The bride herself was very petite and all the bridesmaids agreed that her shoes were the cutest smallest shoes ever. The heels were perfect for her! They brought her up several inches, which was perfect since the groom was taller. All in all a beautiful day head to toe! Here are her shoes and a few fun details from the day:

First we have to give a lot of credit to Alistair and his groomsmen for wearing the awesome Scottish wedding attire. With lots of layers. And it was hot.  But I suppose they were getting more 'air flow' than a traditional suit with pants. One of the groomsmen decided to take that to the extreme but you don't want to see those images.

A wedding at the Seaport Hotel in Boston has a lot going for it, beside the great couple we were working with that day.  Proximity to the World Trade Center, the ocean front down all along Fan pier and a pretty killer night-time view (see the first image below).  Thanks to the band Beantown for making the party take off which always sets us up for fun dance photos.  Take a look at some of our favorites:

Gillian and her dad had the cutest little moment when they saw each other that day.
