It’s been months since I’ve shared an engagement session on my blog! It’s not because I have stopped doing them, ha ha. Quite the opposite. I require every single one of my wedding couples to do an engagement session with me. It being my busiest time of year, wedding work definitely takes first priority, though. I couldn’t not share this one, though. Kirsten & Tim are getting married in a few weeks right here in Somerville. A lot of my couples like to hike and of course I am always open to doing our engagement session together in the mountains. I pitched Carter Dome to these two, knowing their dog’s name is Tuckerman, so maybe they’d be down? The first time I had gone up Carter Dome, I thought that I had to photograph someone up there. It’s such a great spot with a clearing, surrounded by short trees. It’s no joke of a hike, climbing something like 3000′ in .8 miles. That’s a joke, by the way! But, it’s steeeeep. Kirsten & Tim were 100% into it and I love that. They met me up at Carter Notch Hut, and we chilled out a bit to let the sweat dry out and grab a snack before heading out into the Ramparts, a boulder field located just in front of the hut. How on earth Tuckerman made it out there, I have no idea. I try not to think about it! There are crevices in between boulders that go who knows how far down, but he too busy having the best day a dog could ask for to care too much about those holes.

I also have to mention that the Mt. Washington Observatory reported wind gusts of 91mph on this day. We were certainly feeling it!

Thanks for indulging me, guys! See you in a few weeks! <3 white-mountains-engagement-63white-mountains-engagement-03white-mountains-engagement-14ramparts carter notch engagement sessionwhite-mountains-engagement-21white-mountains-engagement-24ramparts carter notch engagement sessionwhite-mountains-engagement-30ramparts carter notch engagement sessionramparts carter notch engagement sessionramparts carter notch engagement sessionramparts carter notch engagement sessionCarter Notch weddingCarter Dome weddingCarter Dome weddingCarter Dome weddingCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement Sessionwhite-mountains-engagement-69white-mountains-engagement-75white-mountains-engagement-81white-mountains-engagement-90Carter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Dome Engagement SessionCarter Notch Engagement Session
