Amy & Lawrence Boston Engagement Session

With Amy in Boston, and Lawrence in San Francisco, and them planning a wedding in just a matter of a couple months – we didn’t get a chance to do an engagement session very far before the wedding!  In fact, we did it just 2 days before!  In the midst of all of the final week of preparation, they took a little time out of their hectic schedule to spend some time letting me photograph them.  It is so helpful on the day of the wedding for us to have all worked together before, that is really is important for us to do an engagement session.  I’m so glad they agreed!

We met up in Boston and spent some time walking from the Public Gardens to the Harbor and back.  It was a surprisingly warm Fall day and we ended up having a great time!

Amy & Lawrence – thank you again for making time for this!  It was great to spend the time with you and just get to know you both a bit, and I think it made the wedding day way more fun to feel like we’d gotten to be friends beforehand!  :)

Lori & Mark’s Wedding – Boston MA

One of the things I love about my job is that no two couples are the same.  While some brides may end up with the same shoes, or the same flowers, or the same location… each couple totally unique.  Lori & Mark are no exception!  From the outside, these two look about as different as you can get.  Mark is 6 foot something, while Lori is just under 5 feet tall.  She’s very bubbly and expressive, while he is quiet and stoic.  But when you meet them, you can see just how well they fit together!  It was awesome to get to celebrate with them as they got married at the Boston Harbor Hotel and then celebrated with a reception on The Odyssey earlier this Fall!

Love this shot of Lori getting all dolled up!

The bar wasn’t open yet, but we still used it for a few photos :)

Lori’s reaction to Mark’s wedding gift was priceless!  Mark definitely did well picking out jewelry for his bride!

Lori & Mark – thank you so much for trusting me, Erin & CoCo to capture your wedding!  It has been so fun getting to know you guys and your wedding was a blast!  I’m so glad we could be a part of it!  If only woofs had been there…  ;)

Angie & Matt’s eSession – Boston, MA

Angie & Matt were in town a couple weeks ago for a weekend of wedding planning excitement, so we met up downtown for their engagement session.  We had no idea if it was going to pour down rain or not, but we took a chance and it ended up being a great (and HOT) afternoon!

We started off at the Boston Harbor Hotel under the archway…

They’re pretty cute

A gnarly iron bridge seems like a perfect place for photos, if you ask me!

We hopped a cab over to Beacon Hill for a little more of a classic Boston feel

And then it started to rain, so we ducked into a little cafe.  A crowded cafe with no air conditioning, I might add.

Then the rain stopped… it IS Boston after all.  So we walked towards the river and found all sorts of great spots along the way!

Turns out these two met at a sailing class here on the Charles River!  We had to go revisit the scene :)
