When I met with Laurie and Adam last year to discuss their wedding plans, I was immediately touched by Laurie’s story. Her father, Richard Gorgone, had recently passed away (shortly after Adam asked for Laurie’s hand in marriage) and it was important to her that her father and his memory be honored and celebrated at the wedding. Having lost my own Dad when I was 14, I understand how bittersweet it can be to experience a milestone event and feel the absence of a beloved parent. We talked about how she would like to include her Dad and she mentioned wanting to do some graveside shots for their engagement portrait.
It had been raining all weekend and was supposed to continue to rain the morning of their session. I would have suggested we postpone but the couple had a tightly packed schedule so we went ahead, armed with umbrellas and rain boots 🙂 Miraculously, the rain held off until we were about to wrap up the shoot…we even caught a very brief glimpse of the sun.
These first two shots were taken at Mr. Gorgone’s grave in the Waltham Calvary Cemetery:
Adam is such a sweet guy – he did his job providing hugs, kisses and keeping Laurie warm 🙂
After a quick change of clothes, we headed over to Bullough’s Pond in Newton for some more photos of the couple:
I love the 2nd shot on the right of Adam tickling Laurie 🙂
Stunning shots of Laurie…I’m excited to see how gorgeous she looks in her wedding dress!
Another clothing change later and side-kick Sophie joined the party, at the couple’s request! She is fast-becoming my most popular accessory for photo shoots 🙂
One final stop at Newton City Hall: Could these guys be any cuter?
Laurie and Adam: You rock! I’m so honored to be a part of your wedding next month 🙂 xoxo
