we’re engaged: nicole & robear

Thursday, September 27, 2007 Posted in engagements

Whew, what a fun time I had with Nicole and Robert (aka “Robear”) on Sunday. What a session!!! We had so many laughs – they just don’t skip a BEAT. AND…we did…after all, survive poison ivy, spiders, barbed wire, and horseflies.

The session took place at “Tower Hill Farm”, a 1920 To-Die-For Private Estate in Middletown, New Jersey. I feel so lucky to have even visited this location. I hope to get back there to shoot for myself – I did snap a few – this session was not for me, but for this fabulous couple.

The Bride-to-Be!!!

Robear wanted a piggy back ride. You can see, that despite Nicole’s desire to please, it just didn’t work!

Shooting in such a romantic location, one must – of course – include some of the surroundings…

Reenacting the moment…she said yes Robear

Let us, of course, not forget Louis, who made a cameo appearance and is responsible for the happy couples’ meeting

I love what I do. To be able to be such a part of people’s lives and witnessing such joy and love, it really is an amazing thing!

Thank you, Nicole & Robear! See you in May, 2008!

What? You want more? Want to watch the slideshow? Well…OK!

Nicole, those were the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen!!!! I can't wait to see the wedding Album!! I wish you and Robear all the best with all my heart........you deserve it!

September 27, 2007 - 8:39 pm Christina Arce - WOW! The pictures came out GREAT. She did a TERRIFIC job. I loved them all. You can see the HAPPINES in all of the pictures. Now I know who to go to for pictures. I may even see if I can get some pictures taken of boys when we go for our trip to Jersey this time around. =.) LOVE YOU GUYS P.S And I really do love them all......

September 27, 2007 - 7:37 pm Nicole - Laura, Last night when I opened the link to view our slide show I was so pleased with the photos you took, and the way you orchestrated the pictures with the song that I LOVE, was just AWESOME!!! I watched it like twenty times last night and twenty times today...hehehe!!! Robear and I both had tears in our eyes when we watched it. It is so funny/weird, because I know how much I love him, but the photos somehow reminded me of how much I truly do love him. He is the BEST!!! We had such a GREAT time with you and we were so comfortable with you that it did not seem like we were having a shoot. It just felt like we were all good friends enjoying the day. You have a way with people that will make you very successful and I wish you all the BEST!!! Thanks so much for the AWESOME pictures!!!
