Today seems like a great day to share Lindsay and Mark's classic Boston Engagement photos with you. It's amazing what even a month can do in terms of fall color and weather. These images look so summery and bright, where lately we're finding the cool temps force us to bundle up when we're shooting. Cozy is good in the cold, but there is something really fun about Lindsay and Mark's polished yet relaxed look in these photos. Chuck joined these two for a stroll around Beacon Hill and the Boston Public Gardens. We've shot here a number of times in the past, but it always feels fresh to us. I guess that's why historic brick and cobblestone is always in. We love the images they created together and knew you would too. And that look Mark gives Lindsay? All the heart eyes... Congrats you guys!
Samantha + Chan = Engaged
Today we're savoring the last day of summer with Samantha + Chan's Engagement Session shot earlier this season. Chuck joined these two for an afternoon of fun together at the Boston Public Garden and in Beacon Hill. You would never guess that it was nearly 100 degrees with 100% humidity in these photos, right? These two are keeping their cool together and we're loving the photos Chuck caught of them. Although we sense there will be plenty of rich autumn colors coming our way in the next few weeks, today we're living vicariously with these two love birds in the clean bright green light of summer, kicking back in Boston's finest scenery. Congrats!
Juila + Andrew = Engaged
It's hard to believe that this session was just over a month ago, when it was *fall* and not suddenly winter! We were so grateful to get to spend some time with Julia and Andrew during their Boston Engagement Session at some of our favorite spots in Boston. Beacon Hill will always be one of the most beautiful places in our minds, so when these two decided to incorporate it into their session, along with the exact place they got engaged on Comm Ave, we were all in. It doesn't hurt that Julia and Andrew have to be some of the sweetest folks we've had the honor of photographing. We may sound like a broken record, but we are constantly blown away with the quality of people we get to work with. Talented, humble, personable, down to earth and just a whole lot of fun. That pretty much describes these two to a T. Julia and Andrew, we can't wait for next September. Your wedding is going to be such a great day!
Nikki + George = Engaged
We may be biased, but we think one of the best souvenirs one can have when they go on a trip is photo evidence. Every tourist remembers to bring their camera, but what about if you want to be IN the photos? Nikki and George had the forethought to do just that. Head over heels for one another and recently Engaged, these two love birds from the South called us up during their recent trip to Boston for some unforgettable photos in the beautiful city of Boston. Chuck was there to capture it all on camera and we are totally in love with the photos. Beacon Hill, The Public Gardens AND Fenway? Yes please. We especially love the playful shots around Fenway, even though Nikki is rooting for her own team (we'll forgive you, Nikki). Congratulations Nikki and George!
Elizabeth + Oliver = Engaged
We loved getting Elizabeth and Oliver in front of the camera a few weeks back for their Engagement Session highlighting some of Boston's prettiest backdrops. It's always a pleasure when our clients become friends, and when folks decide to splurge on an Engagement Session we view it not only as a time for us to work with them before their wedding but also as a chance to get to know the couple a little better too. We've had such a great time working with Elizabeth and Oliver and their Engagement Session confirmed all our previous notions of their solid personalities. Oliver is the kind of guy that could talk to anyone and will always put Elizabeth's wishes before his own. (You know, the kind of guy that romantic comedy heroes are made of). Elizabeth is gracious, kind and oh so beautiful. We can't wait for their Farm wedding on the cape in a few short weeks, it's bound to be lovely! Keep an eye out for some serious eye candy once their wedding hits the blog! We can't wait.
Marty + Chris = Engaged
Please don't tell me I'm the only one who is in denial about this weekend being labor day weekend. That can't be possible, right? It feels like just yesterday that we were shooting this sweet early summer engagement session with Marty and Chris. Our blogging schedule has been somewhat nonlinear this summer as we've been going nonstop and working with so many amazing people. We truly can't complain about being busy though. There isn't a day that goes by that we're not incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to do what we do. Just look at these two for example. How beautiful is the love they share? We were honored to have the opportunity to photograph them in the city they are {temporarily} calling home before they wed next March in their home state of Florida. Congratulations Marty and Chris, we loved spending an evening with you capturing the sweet love you share and wish you nothing but the best!
Jackie + Matt = Engaged
Boston is so pretty. We'll never tire of photographing the contrasting cobblestone with mossy greens or the hundred year old trees canopying the even older streets. It's even more of a treat to be able to photograph two people in love in such a setting. Classy, beautiful and un-fussy, the setting fits Jackie and Matt to a T. We met up with the two of them and their adorably well behaved pup for a casual evening of chatting and photo-taking and had a great time. People like Jackie and Matt make our job so easy with their enthusiasm for life and love of one another. You'll see them on the blog again next fall when we shoot their September Wedding. It's bound to be a beautiful day!
Andrea + Geoff = Engaged
I'm so in love with Andrea and Geoff's Engagement Photos. Between their adorable outfits and crisp colors of Beacon Hill, they just scream summer in Boston, don't they? Our Associate - aka bad ass Photographer Chuck will be shooting Andrea and Geoff's wedding next month and so it was only natural that he shoot their Engagement Session as well. We've had the pleasure of meeting Andrea and Geoff in person as well and I can say that their relaxed west-coast vibe and New England roots make for an adorable pair. We can't wait to see what sort of magic unveils at their Lyman Estate Wedding in July! It's going to be an amazing day.
Erika + Jeffrey = Engaged
If this isn't the sweetest thing you'll see today I will personally buy you a coffee. I mean seriously. Look at these two. Erika and Jeffrey are adorable *on ice skates*. That is talent, folks. Matt and I insisted that we better not join them on the ice because of the nature of camera equipment, a quarter of an inch blade holding us up on ice and dozens of other people who may run into us while shooting - but we all know that the real reason is because there is no way we could have photographed their adorableness on ice. We would have spent the entire time shifting our feet awkwardly on the ice and fallen down too many times to count. Not Erika and Jeffrey though. I swear they are secret hockey and figure skaters in their free time. They both laced up and whirled around the pond with such ease and grace. While stationed on the edge of the rink and watching them glide round and round together I even overheard a few onlooking girls talking about how watching Erika and Jeffrey "made them really happy." I couldn't agree more. We had a great time photographing them on the rink and off on the streets of Beacon Hill and can't wait for their Smith Barn Wedding this June. It's going to be a blast!
Liz + Josh = Engaged
One week before Liz and Josh's engagement session, they were hanging out in Liz's parents kitchen when Josh scooped up her up off the ground, stepped on a dog toy and slipped down to the ground breaking Liz's fall and landing hard on his wrist. In the process, he unfortunately tore a handful of ligaments in his hand and Liz ended up with some battle wounds as well. While the situation was unfortunate, we also can't help but smile at Josh's heroic act to protect Liz. We thought about waiting to shoot their engagement session until after his wrist was healed, but in the end we worked around it for the shoot and even incorporated it into the shoot as his badge of honor. We completely adore these two and had a blast shooting around their neighborhood, the beautiful Beacon Hill. At the end of the session we even got to go up to their rooftop to take some photos of the sun setting in the Boston skyline. Even with a view as breathtaking as a city sunset, Liz and Josh pretty much stole the scene. They are so perfect together!
