Helen & Miles | Engagement

October 19, 2011 · 17 Comments

There are some funny coincidences in life, some of them so out there that it feels almost impossible to be true – or perhaps meant to be? Just a couple of weeks before Helen & Miles’ engagement session I was doing some wedding portraits for the lovely Kelly and Scott, and as it turns out, the two couples are practically neighbours! In fact, they can very nearly see into each others lounges from their windows, which I think is just hilarious. (It also seems that people living on this street are seriously into big balloons. :D)

I think the term ‘cute as a button’ was actually invented for Helen & Miles. They are just simply adorable, inside and out, and it was so nice to finally spend some time photographing them. Helen & Miles are getting married next year in one of the coolest venues I know, Pale & Interesting, down in Kent. They were originally going to get married somewhere else, but fell so head over heels in love when they came across the amazing New England barn that they decide to change venues. And I couldn’t have been happier when they told me about the change of plans. I can. not. wait. for the wedding day!

    Such a cute couple, and such an ease about their session. Seeing a bit of their home just puts their cuteness way over the top–I want to be friends with them. Also I cannot choose a favorite, because I love every one!

    How fun! I really like the use of color in the shot of them in front of the blue door, and the picture of their feet hanging from the tree limb is just too cute.
