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.

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.

Linzee and Eric’s Wedding at the Harvard Club in Boston

Joyelle — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:31:27 +0000

Linzee and Eric’s wedding at the Harvard Club in Boston was an incredible way to end my season. First off, can Linzee look any happier? I don’t think so. Second, the elegance and grace of the Harvard Club was juxtaposed by Linzee’s idea of incorporating a forest feel into their wedding. Linzee and Eric met ages ago while in Vermont for school, so they wanted to channel a feeling of Vermont at their wedding. Bow Street Flowers did an amazing job, using moss, berries, and pinecones, as well as ferns and forest orchids native to Vermont. Finally, hundreds of tealights everywhere lit the room, and the end result was very dim and warm lighting that made the space feel intimate and romantic on this fall night.

Susan and Tim’s Wedding at Turner Hill in Ipswich

Joyelle — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:09:35 +0000

Susan and Tim’s wedding at Turner Hill, in Ipswich, was on that crazy October day when it snowed in New England. Luckily they had planned everything in front of the warm fire, so not much was affected, and we even got to run out into the snow at the end of the night. Another thing that I loved about their wedding was that except for Susan’s sister, who was her maid-of-honor, everyone else in Susan and Tim’s wedding party was under the age of 6.

Jennifer and Alan’s Cohasset Wedding at the Red Lion Inn

Joyelle — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:26:32 +0000

Alan’s friends and family are spread across the country, so when Jennifer and Alan were looking at venues for their wedding, they really wanted something with a quintessential New England feel. The Red Lion Inn in Cohasset fit the bill perfectly, with its rustic charm, cozy barn, and the beach so close by as well. We drove to the beach for the photos of the two of them, and we completely lucked out by having the most amazing sky ever, and clouds so thick you could scoop them up like ice cream.

The lovely floral arrangements were created by LeReve Floral Design.

Kerri & Rich’s Boston Engagement Session

Joyelle — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:47:52 +0000

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 and Patrick’s Gibbet Hill Wedding

Joyelle — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 19:20:14 +0000

Candice and Patrick are two of the sweetest people. When I first met Candice, waaaay back (I think they booked me in the winter of 2010), meeting her was just like chatting with a friend. So I was excited to photograph their engagement session on the Boston waterfront this fall, and finally their wedding at The Barn at Gibbett Hill this October.

The lovely flowers and details were designed by JCF Events.
