Christie & Crittie have many special memories together at West Beach in Beverly, Massachusetts and so it was fitting that they chose this location for their engagement session this past fall. What we expected was a beautiful sun lit fall afternoon at the beach. What we got was a churning sea as a fast moving storm moved up the coast. We were welcomed to a cloudy sky, an empty beach and the ever present threat of rain.

Crane Estate Engagement Session

On a overcast spring afternoon I met with Maggie and Jack at the beautiful Crane Estate for their engagement session. Maggie and Jack will be getting married next year at an estate in Ipswich and so they wanted their engagement session to reflect the the history and beachy feel of this seaside town. The Crane Estate is sprawling with tremendous views in almost every direction. It was a treat to explore the beautiful property with Maggie and Jack and admire the lovely architectural details and beauty of this place.

Just down the street is one of my favorite places, Crane Beach. After a quick outfit change we headed to the beach for a more relaxed vibe. Snuggled up in sweaters, Maggie and Jack enjoyed the nearly empty beach and bravely dipped their toes in the chilly Atlantic waters!! The overcast skies, empty beach and these two made for a romantic ending to a beautiful session!!
