Ellie & Seth | Marginal Way Engagement Proposal
On a warm July afternoon, Ellie & Seth met at Jackie’s Too in Perkin’s Cove with their families to enjoy a peaceful dinner overlooking the ocean. But when the food came, Seth felt anything but peaceful. His palms were sweaty and his stomach was in knots. After dinner, he planned to walk Ellie down onto the rocks along the Marginal Way where he would ask her to marry him. Ellie knew she wanted to spend forever with Seth, she had shown him some rings that she liked, and she felt that something might be coming… After they finished eating (well everyone but Seth, who couldn’t eat a bite), everyone mysteriously headed to the restrooms. This left Seth & Ellie alone to venture out into the serene ocean air. Meanwhile, I was trying not to be too sus as I eagerly waited for them hiding behind the rose bushes.
Earlier that afternoon, Ellie’s mom FaceTimed me to scope out the perfect spot for Seth to pop the question. But when he & Ellie rounded the corner, the bench we chose was surrounded by a group of tourists. Although I could see the panic in his eyes, Seth remained cool & collected as he navigated past them leading Ellie out onto the rocks. When he dropped to one knee, her face sparkled like her new diamond and she exclaimed, “Yes!!” Their families joined us shortly after with congratulatory hugs and squeals of excitement to celebrate the special moment! As Seth hugged his mom, he whispered into her ear, “I can eat now!”
I’m so excited for this sweet couple and even more excited to get to celebrate their wedding with them next summer!

Micaela & Josh's Downtown Portsmouth Spring Engagement Session
The faint smell of salt water and the bustle of the city set the scene as we walked and talked our way around downtown. We chatted about their mutual love of pizza, interesting tidbits about Burlington, VT, how they shared a wall in their college dorm, the different terms people use for stages of dating, Micaela’s authentically handmade leather sandals (AKA Birks), all the things! Laughing all the way.
Read MoreRuthie & Jonah's Snowy Canterbury Shaker Village Engagement Session
Imagine. You wake up, look out the window, and see white in every direction. The ground is covered in a fresh blanket of snow, the air is full of fluffy white snowflakes floating down to the ground, and the sky is completely covered with snow-filled clouds. The only sounds you hear are the soft pit pat of snowflakes landing on the roof and the humming kshhhh of plow trucks clearing the roads. This was the winter wonderland we woke up to on the day of Ruthie & Jonah’s Engagement session!
It was quite the opposite of the day he proposed! Jonah actually gave me the honor of being present to capture their surprise proposal in Camden, ME! Click here to check our their proposal blog post!
The day of their engagement session was the perfect day! The air was crisp and quiet as the world snuggled under the covers of white fluffy snow. Although the temperature was brisk, my heart warmed right up as soon as Jonah & Ruthie rolled into the parking lot of Canterbury Shaker Village with big youthful grins and hardy spirits ready to brave the elements!
These two have that best friend kind of love. The sparkle that fills her eyes when her eyes meet his. The childish excitement in their voices as they talk about getting married. Their playful banter. The tenderness of his hand on her back. These are the little ways their love shines through.
Congratulations again, Jonah & Ruthie! I can’t wait for your wedding in July!
Ruthie & Jonah's Camden, ME Proposal
Anticipation and the smell of salt water wafted through the air on the dock. Their families waited with baited breath to congratulate them. Suddenly in a moment of release, the sound of cheering filled the cove as the happy couple came into view. After exchanging hugs, a few tears, and many gawking gazes at her sparkling diamond, everyone boarded the Perwinkle and leisurely laughed their way through the ocean waves to celebrate the future Mr. & Mrs.
Ruthie grew up in Camden with her family before moving to NH. So, it was fitting that Jonah surprised her here, on the very beach where she used to take elementary school trips. She thought he was at work, but he was in Camden, waiting on a quaint, idyllic beach overlooking the cove, with a blanket inscribed with their names & the date, a few framed photos of them through the years, shaking hands, sweaty palms, a boyish grin, and a glistening diamond. While I, not so gracefully, hid behind a thorn bush to capture the moment when he dropped to one knee. :)
How they chose to celebrate their engagement tells you a lot about them. Since they are at the center of two close-knit families, they spent the evening cruising the coast and eating their way through Camden with their parents and siblings. They probably would have invited all their family & friends if they could have. Because that’s just who they are- kind & loyal friends.
