There is something magical about Martha’s Vineyard.  Maybe it is the boat ride over to the remote island that makes you feel like you are officially “getting away”, or the tiny fishing villages along the skirts of the ocean.  Whatever the case, for Kelly and Eric it feels like home.

Kelly has been coming to Martha’s Vineyard with her family for over twenty years now.  She still remembers the year she was ready to bring Eric along on their summer vacation.  They were high school sweethearts, and even at such a young age, Kelly knew there was something special about Eric.   Staying in the gingerbread houses in Oak Bluffs and spending the hours before sunset in the small town of Menemsha, Kelly and Eric fell in love with the island and with each other.

Years later, Eric knew he wanted to spend forever with the girl he fell in love with in high school.  On a romantic trip to Paris, Eric got down on one knee in front of the Eiffel Tower and asked Kelly to be his wife.  Kelly happily agreed, excited to marry her best friend and the man she truly loves.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of capturing Kelly and Eric’s Martha’s Vineyard engagement photos.  Check out a few of my favorites below!

We took Kelly and Eric’s Martha’s Vineyard engagement photos in their favorite fishing town, Menemsha!

After kicking off their shoes, Kelly and Eric set off to explore the sandy white beaches and rolling dunes.

Eric, you did an amazing job at picking out the PERFECT ring for Kelly!

One of the most romantic things to do in Menemsha is to grab a bottle of wine, pick up clam chowder from The Bite, and watch the sunset on top of a grassy dune.

LOVE.

Kelly, you are GORGEOUS!

Kelly and Eric, thank you so much for an amazing day in Martha’s Vineyard!  Good luck as you continue to plan your wedding for next year.  I know it is going to be such an incredible day filled with love and I am so happy for you both!
