Kristen and Jason’s Engagement Session on the Frog Pond

Joyelle — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 23:06:20 +0000

Kristen used to be a devoted ice skater – and by devoted, I mean she could literally do jumps – so they decided on ice skating on the Frog Pond for a few fun engagement photos in the Boston winter.

Gina and Marco’s Engagement Session

You may remember this lovely couple from their Boston wedding at the State Room this summer. Well, here’s the first part of their engagement session, when they wanted to do photos outside their home with their cute little pup who totally stole the show. (To see the second part of their engagement photos, click here.)

Kerri & Rich’s Boston Engagement Session

Kerri and Rich are from New York, and Rich just moved up here recently, so they wanted their engagement session to be something completely true to their new town, something that said “classic Boston.” So naturally they decided on the Public Garden, Beacon Hill, and the Charles River. Originally we were going to photograph a lot of foliage as well, but this is turning out to be one of those years when the leaves turn late. Luckily we found the only two trees on the Public Garden that looked like fall. We also timed the session just right, and can I just say that I always want to shoot at twilight now.

Candice & Patrick’s Engagement Session on Boston Harbor

Candice, Patrick, and I strolled around Boston harbor, the harborwalk, and the Rose Kennedy Greenway for their end-of-summer engagement session.

Amy & Rob’s Engagement Session at the Arnold Arboretum

Joyelle — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:03:15 +0000

Rob, Amy, and I met on a warm July night to photograph their engagement session at the Arnold Arboretum. The balloons which they used in the first few shots were to coordinate with their save-the-date, an extremely cool animated movie that they created, which you can see here. Can’t wait for their wedding in less than a month!

Lyndsey & Charlie on Lake Winnipesaukee

Joyelle — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:41:56 +0000

Lyndsey, Charlie, and I met the weekend before the 4th of July to photograph their engagement session on Lake Winnipesaukee. We took Lyndsey’s grandmother’s boat, a beautiful wooden boat from 1937, out across the lake to one of the natural islands there, and we had a blast photographing just before dusk. Can’t wait for their wedding in September at Mills Falls.

Coming Soon: Lyndsey & Charlie

Laura and Kevin

Joyelle — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 18:50:35 +0000

This photo of Laura and Kevin was taken during our engagement session at the Franklin Park Zoo. It was actually super crowded there, which you can’t tell from the photo, but we managed to squeeze in some cute pics while working our way around various class trips. In keeping with the animal theme, Laura even donned her bird t-shirt, which I thought was quite fitting. Can’t wait for their wedding in a few weeks at Upstairs on the Square in Cambridge.

Melissa and Aubrey

Joyelle — Tue, 17 May 2011 21:03:09 +0000

Melissa, Aubrey and I did a super quick engagement session last week at Arlington Town Hall. It may sound strange to shoot in a town hall, but it actually resembles an old library, with gorgeous wood detailing, marble walls, and beautiful old windows. Can’t wait for their wedding in a short 3 1/2 weeks away.

Gina and Marco in the fog

Joyelle — Tue, 03 May 2011 19:33:30 +0000

One reason not to reschedule a shoot even if the weather looks iffy – you can get some totally unique situations, like the fog that Marco, Gina, and I had last week while photographing their engagement session in Larz Anderson Park in Brookline.
