2020 was quite the year, but not in the way that any of us had imagined when it began. Rather than the exciting year we all had planned, we sheltered in place, wore masks, sanitized, quarantined, and found new ways to manage our daily lives in the midst of a global pandemic. The event industry was hit so incredibly hard, with most of us losing nearly our full calendar of weddings and events. It was a punch to the gut every time we read about another small business that had to close down because they were not able to weather this seemingly never-ending storm.

Happy New Year!
And what a year this has been! I always love putting together this wrap up blog because I am able to relive some of our favorite memories from the past year. This year has been quite special as we were welcomed into so many important moments in our clients and friends lives. From the tear filled vows and wild dance party receptions at weddings, watching our couples excitement as they expect their first baby, or capturing a couple dance in front of their family at their 50th wedding anniversary celebration… we were there to document and enjoy these amazing moments in your lives.
Rosanio Photography Senior Booking Guide {Massachusetts & New Hampshire Senior Photographers}
Picking the right spot can be difficult and is very personal for each student. We always try to offer lots of different options so we can help find the right spot for each of them! When deciding where to go, I always refer back to what your Senior’s interests might be. Maybe they love going to the beach, or going for hikes, maybe they spent countless hours in the library devouring books or even longer on the ice rink. It is so important to tailor each session to your Senior to make sure that their photos reflect their High School career and the things that they loved along the way.

We have had the pleasure of sharing some of your most important moments with you guys and it means the world to us that you had us capture them for you.

For the past few years we have had the pleasure of not only getting to know my friend Amanda, {who sadly no longer lives in my backyard Click here for the full story and to see their engagement photos and pregnancy reveal blog}, but also capturing her life through its many changes. From capturing photos of just her and her son Jameson when she was a single Mom, to her pregnancy reveal and engagement photos; Her story culminated at her beautiful June wedding to her now Husband Connor.
Smolak Farms Wedding {North Andover, Massachusetts Wedding Photographers} Aundie & John
Aundie and John's day started out with not one...but two first looks! And neither of them were between the Bride and Groom! John was able to sneak over to see his daughter Lily for the first time and surprise her with a special gift before the wedding, and then Aundie shared a moment with her Dad before the wedding also! It was such an amazing opportunity to witness these special moments with this family. One day John will be seeing Lily for the first time before her wedding, just like Aundie and her Dad, so this moment gave me ALL THE FEELS!
Providence College Engagement Session {New England Wedding Photographers} Alicia & Tim
We have been all over the place recently capturing sessions and we were so happy to travel to Providence College to meet Alicia and Tim for their engagement session. They knew when deciding where to do their photos that no other place would be as special as where they met...Providence College! When Alicia and Tim met at an ABC Party {anything but clothes} I doubt they thought they would be returning back here for their Engagement Session! We met up with them to walk the grounds of their alma mater and capture their photos at some of the places that were most special to them! So much has changed since they graduated, but it still felt like home.
Zorvino Vineyards Wedding {Sandown, New Hampshire Wedding Photographers} Lindsey & Justin
Zorvino Vineyards has always been one of our favorite places to visit, so you can only imagine our excitement when we got to capture Lindsey and Justin's wedding there last month! We captured their engagement session last summer and knew then their wedding was going to be so much fun. Their wedding day has been a long time coming for them as they met when they were just 17 years old through mutual friends.
Hampton Beach Engagement Session {New Hampshire Engagement Photographers} Aundie & John with Lily & Jack
Aundie and John have been all over our newsfeed lately after capturing their engagement session a couple months back and their recent wedding at Smolak Farms! I could get the feeling that people just couldn't get enough of them and their adorable kids so I wanted to make sure I blogged their engagement session {I pinky swear promise I will blog their wedding too...don't worry!}.
Hampton Beach NH Proposal {New Hampshire Engagement and Wedding Photographers} Colin & Rachel
Colin emailed a few months back asking if we could be there to capture his proposal to his girlfriend Rachel. After I stopped doing my happy dance of excitement we got to planning the perfect proposal. They met a few years ago at a concert in Boston, but they shared their first date, first kiss, and he asked her to be his girlfriend at Hampton Beach. This was a special place for them so he knew it was the perfect place to propose. He booked a weekend getaway there and we got to planning!
Greycourt Park, Methuen Engagement Session {Massachusetts Engagement Photographer} Amanda & Connor
Amanda & Connor did their engagement session with us a few months ago, but since today feels like January I figured it was the perfect opportunity to share their photos. I struggled with how to title this blog because this session was SO MUCH MORE than just an engagement session! It was a engagement session, a family session, and a pregnancy reveal all wrapped up into one adorable package! I have known Amanda since we bought our home 5 years ago because she lives in our backyard. Not in the homeless vagrant kind of way, but she lives in the house behind mine...so I also live in her backyard.
Favorite Engagement Session Locations {Massachusetts Wedding Photographers}
Picking the right spot can be difficult and is very personal to each couple. We always try to offer lots of different options so we can help find the right spot for each of them! When deciding where to go, I always recommend the couple think about things they like to do together, where they met, or shared hobbies they have. Also, some locations are great in the summer but might not be the best in the winter.
Greycourt Park, Methuen Engagement Session {Massachusetts Wedding Photographer} Allie & Donny
Often times we don't get to meet our couples until their engagement session, so the shoot is a great way for us to get to know each other before their big day! We had a perfect morning with Allie and Donny last weekend at Greycourt Park in Methuen {as many of you know is one of our favorite spots}. They were a lot of fun to spend time with, and they had great chemistry together.

North Andover Engagement Session {Massachusetts Engagement Photographers} Megan & Jeff
It’s always a pleasure when we get to work with old friends. Anthony and I both graduated from high school with Jeff and Megan (granted the guys are 4 years older than us ladies). Anthony has known Jeff since the 5th grade and they were on the track team together at Methuen High School and Megan and I went to Central Catholic together. Even though Central Catholic and Methuen High are bitter rivals, the four of us have proved that it’s possible to put our differences aside and fall in love {Even though CCHS is obviously superior}.
Greycourt Park Maternity Session {Massachusetts Maternity Photographers} Victoria & Jason
Greycourt Park is by far one of our favorite spots to do photo sessions so it was the perfect place to recommend for Victoria & Jason's Maternity Session! Most people who make the drive up the big hill behind Methuen Town Hall are always shocked to find such a hidden gem in our town! It was also the most appropriate place for us to discuss this weeks Game of Thrones {Considering the remains of Tenney Castle do look like a battle had happened here many years ago!}
The Hellenic Center, Ipswich MA {Massachusetts Wedding Photographers} Erica & Robert
After capturing Erica & Robert's gorgeous Stevens-Coolidge Place Engagement Session last summer {Check it out here} we knew that their wedding was going to be amazing...but their picture perfect wedding exceeded all expectations! We started our day at the recently opened and absolutely gorgeous Beuport Hotel Gloucester where everyone was getting ready for the big day! While the girls drank mimosas and got dolled up, the guys shared laughs and a few pre wedding drinks.
