Taylor and Jake… the all American couple who you can’t help but instantly love when you meet them. They both grew up together in New York, with family connections through childhood sports teams. Taylor’s brother played on the same team as Jake when they were kids, and her dad was his coach! Too cute! One thing I instantly could tell from talking to both of them when Taylor inquired was how loyal and committed they are to their families. What a beautiful thing to see these days.

Taylor as you can see instantly, is clearly gorgeous, and yet also so incredibly sweet, so very genuine, and literally the cutest thing ever with the most classic and flawless style. I also want her to decorate my house, she is also such a talented homemaker! She has been so thoughtful and intentional throughout the process, and I so admire how she has done everything so well! Jake reminded me of a golden retriever puppy, (it is a compliment HAHA) and he was just so happy, so chill, smiley and friendly. He and I instantly talked basketball, because he is tall like my husband is, and of course we had to go over all of the people we both know in the New England basketball community! Small world, I love it.

We met up in Newburyport, Massachusetts at Plum Island Beach on the one year anniversary to next years wedding date. Newburyport is a picture perfect New England coastal beach town about 35 minutes north of Boston. Early September is such a great time to be at a beach, and we walked all over it that evening. They brought Champagne and we celebrated with a toast to forever! It was so cute to watch them carve their initials into a piece of driftwood we stumbled upon. Just the cutest. The skies got unexpectedly stormy at the end, which made for some wild clouds and wind, but you know that that does, it adds such a fun, adventurous element which brings the best smiles!

Taylor and Jake, I am so excited for September, and loved reminiscing on one of my favorite fall beach sessions to date! Just look at the details…could they be any cuter? I don’t think so!

So excited to see you both SO soon!

Joyfully,

Melissa
