From Andrea and Marcus… A small beautifully vintage-furnished house in the middle of the Provence in France was the location for our engagement shooting with Patricia & Magnus. Patricia & Magnus are one of the most amazing couples we`ve ever met because of their unique personalities. When Patricia laughs she fills the room with joy & Magnus is a creative photographer himself.  So we expected nothing less than an amazing day in a beautiful place.

The house was lovely furnished with antiques. We started the shooting with some boudoir-style photos in the master bedroom. Patricia looked amazing in her lace bodysuit. After changing we went downstairs to shoot some couple portraits on the terrace while chicken & cats were watching us. Marcus & I fell in love with the light in and around the house *heaven*. To wrap up the photoshoot we couldn`t resist to take a short drive to the famous lavender fields of the Provence & watch the sun going down there. I could still smell the fields – a mixture of herbs & lavender & earth.

And this beautiful pair…did just that.

From the beautiful bride…My florist was my cousin, Moira Thompson. She lives in Cambridge, MA and is just starting her career in the floral industry. She’s a genius. She sent us a flower proposal (because I told her she could do whatever she wants and to just go nuts) and it was literally like she had reached into my mind and created a vision that I didn’t even know was there!

The name cards my mom and I hand-wrote. They were all stamped with clovers (Irish), olive branches (Italian), tropical flowers (South Africa), and daisies (Denmark) which are the main countries of Niels and my origin. Instead of favors, we made donations to three charities – The Jacob Riis Settlement House, which Niels’ father is chairman of the board of, The John J. Gale Scholarship, which is named after my grandfather and given to the senior at HPHS who has the highest GPA in U.S. History, and Art Start, which is a non-profit art program for troubled youth that I volunteer at. So, we wrote on all of the name cards “In lieu of a favor, a donation has been made in your name to __________”, alternating with each charity.

Ahhh, so beautiful. So much more on the way!
