Back in the spring my great friend Nick came to me and told me he wanted to hire me to photograph his two really good friends who had recently gotten engaged. He felt like this would be a better wedding present than a new cutting board and some muffin tins….. I couldn’t agree more. It took about 1.2 minutes on the phone for me to realize that Sarah is likely the sweetest person on the planet. We threw around some ideas for a place to shoot and when I heard that the Arnold Arboretum was somewhere Sarah was into, it was on. About 2 minutes into the shoot it was confirmed that Rob too was an amazing and chill guy and that they could not be cuter or more in love. Let the gigglefest begin. We had an absolute blast. It is not hard to take photos that show that people are in love, when it is written all over both of their faces, so props to you two on that one. Towards the end of the shoot Sarah and Rob went and changed so we could play with a little bit of that vintage 1940ish look. I get photo ideas stuck in my head sometimes, and the only way to stop obsessing is to get them out. I didn’t set out this day to get this certain photo out, but gladly seized the opportunity when I saw it. The panorama at the bottom is 8 photos stitched, and pretty damn close to what’d been in my head for a few months…. that is always an amazing feeling.

A huge thank you to Sarah and Rob for being amazing and in love, and to Nick for introducing us. Sarah is cooking dinner tonight as a thank you for the shoot (yes I will work for food), and there is no way I was showing up with no better excuse for not having blogged their photos yet than the fact that I’m a scatterbrained spaz sometimes……
