A Portsmouth Romance



















I photograph lots of couples all throughout New England (and sometimes the world..) but every once in a while, its nice to work with a couple who met and fell in love right here in my adopted home town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Since it was sunny and about 65 degrees, I suggested we meet in the center of Portsmouth to begin photographing. That's when I learned that Jon and Demaris met for the first time at a downtown club. We walked around, made some photographs, had a cappuccino, and photographed some more. I noticed a spot where the light was soft and beautiful where we made the images shown. They told me that we were in front of the restaurant where they had their first date , and right across the street from their first kiss. Our session that day was kind of like a Ouija Board-some invisible force gently pulling us into the perfect spaces for making some meaningful photographs.
