Emily and Grant are getting married this Saturday and I am so excited to shoot their wedding at the MIT chapel! I knew Emily and I were going to hit it off when we met because we have the same name! What’s not to like?! When we were planning their engagement session, Emily brought up the idea of doing a few shots in Cambridge, where they live, and then driving over to Charlestown. I’ve never been to that part of Boston, and I looked forward to exploring the historical neighborhoods and the harbor. It was a great session and here are some of the highlights.

Emily has such a great smile!

I love how the light is hitting them. This makes getting up early on a Saturday totally worth it.

We went over to Charlestown Harbor and found some cool distressed buildings.

There’s a lot of random stuff laying around like logs and shipping weights. We had a lot of fun exploring the area.

The view from the harbor was breathtaking! I find it really strange that there are no benches for you to enjoy the view, but there are benches on the other side with absolutely no view. So we found a log and turned it into a makeshift bench.

I love getting shots of my couples laughing. It’s one of the best parts of my job.

We drove endlessly until I found the perfect street for us. Almost all the streets have parking on both sides, and I was desperately looking for one with parking on one side only so the cars wouldn’t get in the way of the shot. We circled for many blocks until we found this street. I love the houses here because they are so colorful and different from the brownstones in Boston. I had them run up the street even though it was one of the hottest days of the summer, and I was able to get this shot. Love how cute they are!
