I don’t know what’s hotter, the temperature today or these two…no, definitely these two!Ĭara reapplies her lipstick before we head to our next stop. Thank you Collin…what a fabulous prop for our session! For his 30th birthday his dad gave him this old classic. I mean do they get any sweeter than these two? Not much.īrendan seems to have inherited his dad’s penchant for building & restoring stuff, like antique cars. Inside the barn, we found a super sweet nook, where the light was delicious…and the snuggling, equally so! If you like this kind of thing you should visit his shop, Bent Nail Farm Antiques, which he opens occasionally in the summer. He’s amassed quite a collection of goodies in his barn. Hopping off the stone wall and onto our next spot…How cute are their expressions? Love these two!īrendan’s very talented dad, Colin, buys, restores & sells antiques. Love this perspective as seen through the trees…Ī quiet moment of reflection between photos…there’s something in that tender touch, don’t you think? Just dreamy! Cara & Brendan’s pooch, Scupper, joined us for a few of the shots too. Their property is beautiful, thanks to the skillful maintenance of Brendan and his company, C.B. We started our session at Brendan’s parents’ house. Here are just a few of our favorite moments from our time together: Just as our first meeting, and all of the exchanges that followed suggested, we had an absolute blast with these two!! We met Cara & Brendan for their love session two weeks ago in Marshfield, where it all began. We’re also happy and grateful for the opportunity to get to share in this celebration with them. We couldn’t be happier for these two, for having found their way back to one another and to a love that is so clearly meant to be. This October, Cara & Brendan will say, “I do!” in a small, intimate ceremony, surrounded by friends & family on Martha’s Vineyard. “I realized that for once our timing might work, so I wasn’t letting her go,” Brendan added.Ĭara got that job in Boston, tied up some loose ends in DC and moved back home, to her high school sweetheart and the love they were destined to share. “We were both working through some challenging times, but connected on where we were in life and what we were ultimately looking for…on a whole bunch of levels,” Cara said. They met for coffee and spent the afternoon talking away all the time and distance that had been between them. She returned to interview for jobs in Boston and while here, she gave Brendan a call. “The timing was just never right for us.”Ībout a year ago, Cara decided the life she had made in Virgina/DC no longer fit. “(Brendan) always used to say, ‘It’s just another day,’ and I wanted him to know his birthday (he) was special,” Cara said. And, each year, without fail, Cara would send Brendan a card on his birthday. There were occasional phone calls and letters. Tethered to one another in an inexplicable way. Although the relationship sadly ended, the friendship endured.Īs the years went on and new things and new relationships came & went, they were each other’s anchor. They did the long-distance thing for a while, but they were young and on different paths. I drove my little teal ‘Sally the Saturn’ over to the barn and I remember his face when I got out of the car.”Īfter high school, Cara went away to college in Virginia, while Brendan stayed home in Marshfield. Cara added, “Brendan always claimed it was this yellow dress I wore the night of my senior banquet that did it. “For me, it was love at first sight,” Brendan told us. When high school sweethearts become separated by time, distance and new relationships, only to make their way back to one another years later….well, that is the kind of love story for which I am well and truly a sucker!Īnd, so the story goes for Cara & Brendan, one of our crazy sweet couples saying, “I do!” this fall. And, I must admit, I’m particularly partial to one that begins, “We were high school sweethearts.” There’s something so romantic about two people meeting when they’re young, innocent, and not yet jaded by life when love feels so strong, and all-consuming, even with such little experience in its ways.
