One thing that I love about engagement sessions is that they give me a chance to hang out with my couples in a totally casual atmosphere. Sometimes I don’t meet my couples inititally, when they book me and they live in different cities. Sometimes I only meet one person initially, as was the case with Maria and Kevin. When Maria first came to see me, Kevin was living in DC. So it was great to meet her other half, and we decided on a shoot on Boston Harbor. It was a rare evening of sun in a month of nonstop rain, so we had an excellent time wandering around, photographing, and enjoying the city at our feet.

I can’t wait for Dayna and Paul’s wedding in November at the Charles River Museum of Industry. Their love of everything vintage, combined with Paul’s design talent and a very unique venue will definitely create a wedding to remember. In the meantime, we had our engagement session in Davis Square, complete with some fun new locations and fantastic light.

Alex proposed to Catherine on Georges Island, so there was really no better place to do their engagement photos. It was my first time to any of the Boston Harbor Islands, and it was a basically a photographer’s dream. The weather was a bit chilly for June, but that probably kept the crowds out, and we had the island to ourselves. We talked about our mutual love of hiking, and also of coffee, and we shot in one fantastic location after another. Thanks guys!!
