A beautiful afternoon spent at an amusement park that sits on the beach.  What could be better?  Well, I’ll tell you, my friends. Photographing a couple in love on a beautiful afternoon at an amusement park that sits on the beach = perfection.

Gillian and Steve met on Match and immediately felt a spark.  The first time they met, they hit it off and have been a perfect match together ever since.  When Gillian and I first spoke about potential locations for their engagement session, she mentioned Rye Playland, and I have to admit, I was a little too excited about it.  Truth is, I’m kind of obsessed with amusement parks.  There is just something about them that makes me smile – the way they make adults feel and act childlike again, able to forget the realities of everyday life and just have fun for a day, the cotton candy, the pickles, the funnel cakes, the adrenaline rush on rollar coasters – all of it – what’s not to love?  And that, combined with a pair like Gillian and Steve, filled my day with absolute joy!  And, I have to say, I have a feeling that their lives together are going to be equally filled with as much joy and fun because they’re just that wonderful together!

Thanks for making me feel like a kid again, Gillian and Steve, you guys are the best!

Hugs,
Maggie

    I was on my way out the door from work today when I received an email about our pictures and I stayed behind to look at our slideshow (on a Friday too!) because I couldn’t wait to see them! I sat down with a glass of wine later tonight and had Steve hook up the laptop to the TV so we could see the pictures in all their glory! We are soooo happy with our pictures! We couldn’t be more pleased with them!!! Thank you thank you thank you for our pictures…….you brought tears to our parents eyes….. I emailed my dad the link of our pictures and asked what he thought and he replied “I saw them and I loved them and you’re the prettiest daughter any Dad could have and Steve is the handsomest man any daughter of mine would ever want!” Thank you for capturing moments at Playland that we can all enjoy forever!!

  • How super fun! Love the images at the carnival!
