Aria & Rich: Sunday Morning E-Session In The Park

The alarm startled me at 4:00 a.m. this past Sunday morning. I'm usually not excited to get up that early, but I was this time because I was going to Freeport to meet with Aria & Rich to shoot their E-Session! The plan was to meet at Wolf's Neck State Park at 7:30 so we could beat the heat (90F & humid was the forecast) and use the yummy early morning light.

Natural light doesn't get any better than this!


I thought this was really cute...their hands were interlocked and Aria simply brought Rich's hand up to shield the glare as she looked across the bay




Great little footbridge along the trail


The morning was sooooo peaceful






My only concern with having them go out onto the rock in the previous pictures was getting back, but with a helping hand the adventurous Aria had no problem :)




Then we left the park, which still wasn't officially 'OPEN', and headed up the road a short distance to this beautiful old stone house which offered a lot of great spots for shooting.

We started on the lawn




Then to the house


Love all the different textures in the next two






And of course we had to use the great stonewalls on the property. Loved all the natural interactions between Aria & Rich, they were SO easy & fun to shoot with!








This last one is one of my favorites from the morning


The wedding is just about a month away and I am very much looking forward to it. It's going to be a lot of fun! Big THANK YOU to Aria & Rich for such a fun session and thanks for being so laid back and trusting in my directions and willing to try anything. I enjoyed our time and getting to know you and I'm excited to see you again in September!
