Linan + Steven — Boston Public Gardens Engagement

Linan & Steven live out in California, so Krista didn’t even get to meet them until the week of their wedding! She was just excited that they were able to squeeze in a fun little engagement session during the craziness of the week. It was great to get to know them a bit, and see just how adorable they are together :) They shot around the Boston Public Gardens and on Commonwealth Ave before heading to Finale for some yummmmy desserts! So fun!

I love that Linan’s yellow dress pops out from the background!

Suze + Jeremy – Rockport Engagement Session

Krista met up with her good friends Suze and Jeremy in Rockport at the end of seriously rainy day, hence the awesome clouds :) They had to kind of run around and make the most of the sliver of sun they got after the rain stopped. But these two are so dang cute it didn’t seem to make any difference!!  They eventually ducked inside a restaurant and got some of the best shots of the day once the sun had set. Done and done!  [Plus we got to eat some AWESOME BBQ… which doesn’t happen often in New England!!  :)  Krista]

Westchester Engagement Session

Krista met up with this adorable couple at a lovely little apple orchard and pumpkin patch near Westchester, NY. These two were so sweet with each other, not to mention complete goofballs. They were so comfortable and natural in front of the camera and obviously just loved being together, camera or no. Makes our job pretty easy :)

Let’s start with a shot of this gorgeous rose gold ring. This lady was SO ahead of the trend! :)

Ziva + Jonah — Brookline Engagement Session

Krista calls her engagement sessions “Day-in-the-life” engagement sessions for a reason, she wants to express what your real life is like! Where you live, where you got engaged, things you do, how you act around each other, or the stupid stuff you laugh about… all the things that make your relationship REAL.

Well Ziva & Jonah’s engagement session was just that, a snapshot of their lives. Krista and these two adorable people started at Ziva’s parents’ house, they went for a walk around the nearby reservoir, had a quick outfit change, then stopped by Jonah’s parents’ house, and checked out the pond down the street. SO simple. SO perfect. All you really need are two people in love and BOOM. Real. Pictures.

Here they are in Ziva’s parents’ beautiful old house in Brookline, where she later got ready for her wedding :)

Melissa + Tyler — Vintage Camping Engagement Session

For their engagement session, Melissa got super crafty for their vintage camping picnic in the woods – followed by a trip to the North End. It was totally fun, even though it was the muggiest, buggiest day you could imagine (we even hit a brief storm in the middle of our drive downtown)! But we still had a great time hanging out, talking theology over chicken parm, diving into some famous Mike’s Pastries, and ya know, taking some pictures too :)

Krista shot Sarah & Dave’s engagement session in late Summer.

Check out Sarah’s adorable color palette and eclectic accessories, more of that in their wedding post on Wednesday!

Fran & James’ Boston Engagement Session

For the next few posts, we’re going to take a look back at one of my favorites weddings from last year!  Yep, Fran & James’ wedding was that good, it needs a few posts!  Starting with their super fun summer engagement session in Boston…

They had balloons, a ride on a merry-go-round, ice cream at Quincy Market, and even ran into a fountain!  It was such a fun evening wandering around downtown – and all the more fun because they were so excited for the shoot and were willing to do just about anything!  Gotta love it :)
