Ellamarie and Jake

It was such a joy meeting with you last night Ella! I’m honestly so thrilled and honored to be chosen as your wedding photographer. Hearing your story — how you and Jake met in school, grew together over the years, and supported one another through so much — really stuck with me. I love that he’d visit you all the way in Saint Kitts while you were in Veterinarian med school, and now with him finishing up his own medical school and graduating next year, it feels like everything’s coming full circle for you both.

You have such a fun, loving, and creative energy, and I can already tell your wedding is going to reflect that in the best way possible. The vision you described — bright colors, bold, whimsical, with a little dramatic flair — is so you. And honestly, when I heard the Lisa Frank reference and rainbow inspiration it just made me smile because I knew then the joy you bring to all who meet you. 

I still can’t get over Jake’s proposal. The fact that he pulled that fairytale moment off — with both your families there, a white horse, and a Cinderella carriage — in just two weeks? Like I said, he has my vote! Truly incredible. He really is the yin to your yang, and it’s so clear how deeply he loves you and wants you both to have the wedding of your dreams.

I can already picture your day at Sea Crest Beach Resort — celebrating close to home in Mass, with all those bright pastel colors, the laughter, candid moments, the energy — it’s going to be absolutely magical. I’ve put together your custom proposal with several collections options we talked about, so now it’s just about choosing the one that feels right for you. The first collection includes the engagement experience down in Florida this upcoming January for travel, lodging etc., 

Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm here to help make the photography experience joyful, to let you both remain fully present for your day and to quietly capture every bit of it. I hope you walk away feeling like you just had another friend by your sides, laughing along with you both. Your day is going to be vibrant, joy-filled, and truly unforgettable. Here's to an amazing time planning with Emma, and creating one of the best days in your lives. 

Warmly, 

Rebecca
