One of the MAJOR perks of graduating from Hallmark Institute of Photography is that there’s such a vast network of photographers all over the place. Melissa from Desjar Photo posted in the J*Star Second Shooters group on Facebook looking for a second shooter in New Hampshire, and once I found out she was a Hallmark grad too I was so excited to connect with her! We talked on the phone, met for drinks & lunch, and then scheduled 2 weddings for me to second shoot with her.

Below are the images from the first wedding we shot together in Portsmouth, NH! We started at the Sheraton, were off to Immaculate Conception Church, took group portraits by the ocean, then finished the night with their reception at Wentworth By The Sea. Congratulations to Beverly & Mike, and stay tuned for wedding #2 with Desjardin Photo!

I love capturing “behind-the-scenes” photos for the photographers I shoot with!

Melissa asked me to capture some individual photos while group portraits were happening…

… and then this happened.

There was certainly no shortage of adorable kiddos at this wedding!

Remember… Photographers like cake too!
