The Hillary Reynolds Band

A couple weekends ago I flew out to Massachusetts where I then hopped in a car full of instruments and musicians and drove to a coastal town called Westport. We showed up at sunset to this beautiful home, I could have just stayed there - beautiful woodwork, wonderful lighting, 3 fireplaces and a mile walk from the ocean -- a photographers heaven. I spent the whole weekend at this house with Hillary Reynolds and her talented band (along with the ever amazing Violet from LA who did hair and make up and haircuts for all!) we cooked meals together, built fires, played music and drank wine and I documented the whole weekend. The Hillary Reynolds Band is currently working on their second full length and wanted photographs of them in a place where they often come to write, rehearse and just get out to the city and relax, here is a collection of the images that I captured during my weekend with them.

Amber & Matt

I was so glad to finally meet Amber and Matt for we have had to reschedule our shoot 3 times because we always managed to set a date to a rainy day. Even though we planned to do a fall session, having the snow on the ground and the chill in the air was quite beautiful - these two spend a lot of time outdoors, even in the winter so the 9 degree day we picked didn't bother them at all. I drove up and over to Shiocton, Wi to Matt's parents home where on June 7th, their ceremony will be held under a beautiful willow tree - we went into their woods to explore and do the session  -- here are just a few of my favorite images from that day.
