I cannot wait to share Jackie & Josh’s beautiful day with you all! I got to know these two over the past year. We bonded after their incredible Lovebird Session and if I remember correctly, they showed me my new favorite restaurant in Newport, Winner Winner (which, side note, has the BEST fried chicken in the state. You HAVE to try it). We quickly became friends and counted the days down to their big day at the vineyard. The day of couldn’t have been better. With cloudy overcast skies, cool september weather and their fun, laid back, “folk fest” theme to the day, you could say it was one of our favorite this past month.

We hope you all enjoy this special sneak peek of Jackie & Josh’s day!

With love,
Ryan

Whenever a couple tells me they're adventurous, I jump at the opportunity to do something fun for their photos. One thing I mention to them all the time is that these photos should feel like them. It shouldn't be posed and fake. If you don't go to the beach, why are we going to take your photos on the beach? If you're not city people why would we go downtown and take your engagement session photos there? I encourage couple's to always choose a spot or a location that means something to them, or at least gives them an opportunity to do something they love. 

Josh & Kaylah love to hike and be outdoors. We spoke about doing a session at their favorite hiking spot in New Hampshire but then decided we could probably get that same look and feel someplace closer. I think we hit it right on the nail. Lincoln Woods provided the perfect backdrop to what is now some of my favorite Lovebird Session photos. I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek into their love story.
