Safety precautions 
are extensive

The husband and wife team who make up Philbrick Photography are based in North Conway, New Hampshire and have been snapping photos together professionally for 12 years. Capturing thrill-seeking newlyweds posing on the edge of rock cliffs in the White Mountains, the couple have created their own brand of truly breathtaking images.

“I love all the weddings and sessions we do. But, the cliff sessions are a special thing. We love being in the outdoors and the couples in these sessions are extremely excited about these,” Jay tells The Knot. “The sessions are very challenging for all kinds of reasons, as you might imagine. Because they are so challenging, they are incredibly rewarding to our couples and to us.”

Precarious perch: Jay Philbrick’s riskiest photo

For this session, Philbrick needed a model with climbing skills

Meanwhile, Philbrick hiked to a distant ridge to make the photographs using a zoom lens. He communicated with the team via walky-talky. The weather was windy and cold that morning, making for exceptionally challenging conditions, he says. “A few times it looked like Kristina would be blown right off the top. But of course she was always anchored. I think it took me a couple of days to recover from this session.”
