Ashley+Derek’s Hampton Beach Engagement Session

We can’t wait for Ashley and Derek’s wedding this August.  We had a great time with them during their engagement session at Hampton Beach.  We are even extra excited because we’ll be working with Danielle of Frills & Thrills event planning.  Their wedding is at the Methuen Music Hall with the reception at the Granite Rose. Two locations we haven’t shot at before but have heard are lovely.

Ashley and Derek love going up to Hampton Beach so when we were discussing locations for their session it made perfect sense to meet up there.  I did a little researching of the best locations to shoot at and we decided heading a little north of the main strip would be perfect (a little less crowded, and the rocks were great to climb on!).

We started right on the beach and it was a little overcast, while we were shooting we could see the sun peak out from behind the clouds so we found a condo complex that looked out onto the marshes and ventured out for some photos in the lovely warm sunlight.  We stayed on the edge of the marsh as we soon found out that most of it is really wet and smushy (which I sort of already knew, just hadn’t experience first hand).

After that we headed to their favorite pizza place, Christy’s Pizza and ended the session with some yummy pizza.  It’s another thing that Ashely & Derek like to do together.  They even mentioned they will sometimes come up to Hampton in the winter just to get a slice of Christy’s Pizza (they are still open in the winter!)

I love these two that Drew captured.  I told him to shut up when he showed them to me on the back of the camera.  LOVE the warm glow and the shilouettes.  Thanks Ashley & Derek for a great time!  We had a blast & can’t wait for your wedding this August!
