A few weeks ago we had the wonderful pleasure of stepping on the other side of the camera with some beautiful friends from Australia, Christine Pobke & Dan O'Day. It was an absolute honor to be photographed by these two. It was such a facinating experience to see how each of them captured a different side of us. That is the beautiful thing about what we do as artists. Not one of us sees the same thing and photographs it exactly alike. Christine seemed to pick up on the joy, freedom & light heartedness of our relationship and Dan really captured the soul, the passion and the depth of our story. These two did such an incredible job making some not-so-great subject matter look good ;)
Being photographed reminded me of the unique experience that we create for our couples as photographers. I can honestly say that this photo-shoot with Dan & Christine made me fall more in love with my husband. It's a rare and beautiful surprise when you are not just asked, but rather, encouraged to go run into the fields together as the golden light kisses your faces.... being encouraged to cuddle up, hold hands, laugh and embrace. It felt good and I can honestly say it brought us closer. Christine and Dan are beautiful people. I know that both of them were brought into our lives for a reason. Christine is the wonderful photographer in Australia who will be hosting our workshop there and Christine & Dan are the best of buddies. Having these beautiful pieces of art of US makes us feel like we won the lottery or something. These photos will be cherished for years to come. Thank you so much Dan & Christine!!

O how wonderfully romantic. I always prefer to be at the back of the camera, but these shots makes me want to experience the other side too! Well done Christine, really beautiful.
Hey guys... I think Christine really nailed it with her comments about the shoot.. I just wanted to say that the time we all shared in that field that afternoon is something I will never forget.. It truly was magical and showed me quite clearly that you two are the real thing. Thank you for allowing us into your lives to share something so special. See you soon! xx
Gorgeous photos Sarah! I especially love the 5th to last photo in B&W. Just awesome! It's an awesome feeling to occasionally be on the other side of the camera.
First of all: I love the two separate visions..all images are just wonderful.
Secondly: These photos remind me why I must meet you two.
Thirdly: I'm sad I didn't purchase that yummy, yellow, blouse @ Anthropologie when I first saw it...can't find it now!
And finally thank you for sharing so much with your fans and fellow photographers!!!
Love the b&w shot of you on his shoulder- it's really simple, but something about it is so peaceful. I love Dan's work; I love your work. :)
That last one is perfection! fabulous images
Sarah + Chris, it was such a joy to photograph you and your love. I can't think of a more emotional shoot than the one Dan and I did of you both... I remember after scarfing down that pizza and saying goodbye to you both, Dan and I were buzzing in the car, jittery and chatty and reliving the golden afternoon!!! Thanks for being such beautiful people with generous souls and for just being so GENUINE. I seriously adore you both and can't wait for you to stay with me at Chateau de Pobke in just a few months! xoxoxoxo
I love the storytelling in the one of Chris sitting in the grass and you in the foreground. I could look at that forever :)
Beautiful, Sarah & Chris, just beautiful.
these photos are so beautiful! I really love your blog and have been visiting it for quite a while now because your photos are inspiring and so pretty!
These pictures are amazing and so breathtaking!
Oh, I glanced too fast, and didn't see that some were Christine's images as well. She is an amazing person and photographer, as I know now first hand after shooting with her last weekend in CT. Can't wait for Australia in November, all you beautiful people. :)
