Karen & Alejandro’s Boston Wedding at Ginger Park

After a totally fantastic engagement session, I was completely looking forward to Karen and Alejandro’s Boston wedding at Ginger Park. And talk about a party – this was a fun group from the moment that I walked in. From the hotel room of 11 women getting ready, to the safari-themed reception, to the incredible backdrop of Ginger Park which would make any photographer swoon, to the explosion on the dance floor when the song “Alejandro” started playing, Karen and Alejandro just seemed to be surrounded with such incredible friends and family, and they were all having a great time.

Notice their name in lights?

Karen & Alejandro at Elm Bank

These two are troopers! Despite Alejandro’s hectic work schedule, and Karen caring for their 5-month old, they managed to squeeze in an early morning weekday engagement session at the beautiful Elm Bank in Wellesley. They brought their baby and a babysitter in tow and didn’t mind photographing right through the rain. We ended up with the softest light ever, which was so sweet and lovely, perfect for a laid-back garden shoot. Can’t wait for their Boston wedding (which is coming up soon!!) at Ginger Park in the South End.

Jennifer & Mark at the Boston Athenaeum

Jennifer and Mark love literature, art, history and architecture, so where better to do their engagement session than the Boston Athenaeum. The Boston Athenaeum is a private library, but Jennifer and Mark are members. Even so, we had to be pretty stealthy when photographing, finding little hidden corners and places where there weren’t authors huddled over manuscripts, seriously working on their next novels. Can’t wait for their wedding in a few weeks at the Codman Estate.

Caitlin & Richie at the Willowdale Estate

I always love when I have photographed a couple and then I get the chance to photograph one of their siblings. I start to feel like a member of the family, like a cousin who gets to attend all the weddings. This is how it was with Caitlin and Richie, I had photographed Caitlin’s sister Meghan’s wedding a few years ago. Thanks for having me there guys, it was great to hang out with everyone again!
