Vivian + Mark :: engagement session

June 24, 2010

I had the pleasure of taking engagement pictures of my good friends Vivian and Mark. They are getting married on Saturday in New Jersey, and I am super excited! My first wedding this year as a guest! They’ve lived in Cambridge for the last few years, so it was only fitting to take pictures at Harvard Square where they spent the most time as a couple.

Vivian and Mark at both attending the same business school in the fall, so that’s why Mark is holding up the Harvard Business Review. Vivian is reading for leisure. :)

We shot very early in the morning but the sun was still really bright, so I thought today would be a great day to get a little lens flare!

The month of May was super busy for me because had a lot of engagement sessions, and I’m finally getting around to blogging them all. This is the last one for a while, so soon you’ll be seeing a lot more weddings! Stay tuned!

Jee + Ben :: engagement session

June 23, 2010

Jee and Ben are getting married in September and I am so blessed to be photographing their wedding! They are an amazing couple and met up with me on an early Saturday morning so we could shoot without lots of people in the background. Well guess what? Half of Boston was already up and strolling through the parks because it was such a lovely day. I was utterly amazed at how early Bostonians woke up and started their day. So I think I will schedule any future engagement shoots in popular public spaces even earlier now!

Jee and Ben were up for anything (I heart laid-back couples!), so we started the session having a ton of fun and riding the teacup and carousel at Boston Common.

It was incredibly windy that day, but I like how the wind is blowing Jee’s hair in every direction.

We found an amazing tree to shoot under! I’ve been to the Boston Public Gardens several times, and I always find something new there to photograph!

Then we wandered over to Beacon Hill. Jee and Ben live in this neighborhood but they’ve never been to this street, which is one of the most photographed streets in Boston, so I was happy to show them this hidden gem! Streets like these is why I love Boston! We were lucky to the street to ourselves when we were shooting because there were a lot of tourists and another photographer when we left!

Kristen and John :: engagement session

February 15, 2010

Kristen and John are a sweet couple, and we had a ton of fun during their engagement session. They are getting married in New Jersey, but they live in Boston, so they decided to have their engagement photos done here. It ended up being fr-eee-zing and windy on the day of their shoot, but they braved the cold, and we shot the entire session outside! We started in the North End, which was so fun. I probably could have shot the entire shoot in the North End (for you non-Bostonians, that’s Little Italy), but we walked to Faneuil Hall, then ended at the waterfront. I am so lucky to photograph such a beautiful and fun couple! It was definitely hard to pick out some of my favs for the blog because I have so many!

We started in a park in the North End, which had a great view of Boston.

I’ve only been to the North End at night, so I didn’t know that Boston has horse-drawn carriages. We saw a few of them during the engagement session, but we didn’t see any riders. Perhaps everyone was at home gearing up for the Superbowl!

One of my favs of the day! I saw this sign, and I knew I had to get a shot of it!

These next two pictures show how crazy gorgeous Kristen and John are!

The best part about taking pictures in below freezing weather is that you get parks all to yourself!

I can’t remember what was so funny but Kristen’s laugh makes me smile! Did I mention how much I love this job?

I think this is my favorite shot of the day! I think Polo Jeans should use this photo for their next campaign!

Thanks for reading!

Crystal & Cody

October 15, 2009

Crystal and Cody are such a cute, laid-back couple, and they got engaged just two weeks ago! They are getting married in Washington state, so they wanted to find a local photographer to take some engagement photos. I was so honored when they chose me! Crystal attends school in Vermont, but she came down for the weekend to take pictures. We couldn’t have picked a better weekend to take pictures at the Boston Public Garden because the weather was gorgeous!

I love how these photos turned out!! There are so many cute places to take pictures at the park, and the fall leaves make it so much prettier (though the leaves hadn’t quite peaked colors when we were there). I heard that almost every couple in Boston takes pictures at the Public Gardens, and we ran into quite a few of them on our shoot! Congrats on your engagement Crystal and Cody!!
