First stop, Point Bonita Lighthouse- so fun- everyone was cheering and so gracious, allowing the newlyweds to cross the bridge at the head of the line.

When walking back up the hill from the lighthouse, we noticed this little path in the grasses and a fabulous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. We had to stop and enjoy the scenery.

We had parked by this old bunker. It was a great place to play around for a bit. All of the old, rusty metal provided great texture and contrast to Marla’s softness.

We concluded our tour at Rodeo Beach for a little wave action and an opportunity to Trash the Dress.

Yes, they got wet and yes, it was very, very cold. These two were such troopers though. I was amazed!

We really got so lucky with the weather and the day turned out to be perfect. If you want to see more from their TTD session and their wedding, definitely take a look at their slideshow, their sneak preview, and their scoop.

When Andrea and Eric envisioned their engagement session, they knew they wanted to capture a very "New England-y" feel; they wanted their images to show off their home at its best. They wanted fall foliage, colonial architecture, boats in a harbor. They wanted a picturesque seaside town. The north shore certainly offers plenty of options; Dave and I had recently been to Marblehead and immediately saw the potential there.

Andrea and Eric were up for anything. Andrea was wearing these awesome heals. I thought for sure she would have a tough time walking all over Marblehead in them. But she was amazing. She even scaled the rocks overlooking the water with complete grace. We found a spot for them on a rock with beautiful light. They were immediately at ease. And clearly so into each other.

They also had an opportunity to take in the views, which were gorgeous. We had perfect weather, clear skies for miles.

I so love this picture. Their heads, arms and hands form a heart shape and they fit so perfectly together.

We were up at the Fort Sewall park with its cool walls and buildings. The stone covered in foliage reminds me of a college campus admissions brochure. But my favorite part about this image is the way it is divided into 3 sections, with Andrea and Eric right in the middle gazing at each other.

The water was super still that evening…

which made for some beautiful reflections.

While Andrea went to change clothes, we did a little scouting away from the water and found this really interesting spot. There were lobster traps all around and an old fishing boat.

We ventured from there a little further into town. We were looking for more beautiful trees (we were on the early side of fall at the time). Still we found some lovely color.

Have leaves, will play! And with gusto, too.

The night grew cooler as the sun set and the moon rose. Andrea and Eric cuddled together under the purple October sky.

This enagement session with Andrea and Eric was so much fun; we can’t wait to celebrate with them at the Harding Allen Estate in Barre, MA.

Many thank you’s to you both for your trust in us and for being willing to try anything.
