Rebecca + Kevin – A Harvard Art Museums Wedding

I met Rebecca over six years ago, when she was a bridesmaid in her sister, Elizabeth’s wedding.  I liked her right away because she was the youngest (just like me) and she seemed to be the most sentimental and definitely the most likely to cry of the three sisters (just like me).  I saw her a few times over the years as I continued to photograph their family out in Michigan, and here in Boston.  So, when I got her email telling me she’d gotten engaged, I was so thrilled she wanted me to shoot the wedding, but I was also really excited to see the family again, and to witness Rebecca marry the man she loves!!  There really is something special about working with the same family again and again over the years!  Take a look at my favorites from their beautiful wedding day…

Evan & Kelly’s Engagement Session

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to hang out with Evan & Kelly and take some engagement portraits. Evan & Kelly live in Cambridge and spend a lot of time around Harvard, just like Jessica & Albert. It was a fun challenge to do their eSession just a week later, and in basically the same location. It pushed me to think creatively and come up with images that were different. It is made easier when you’re dealing with different people though – as every couple has a unique way of interacting with one another and therefore ends up with different images.

We started at their lovely apartment and walked towards Harvard Memorial Church, where they’ll be getting married this weekend!

They have a cute little park right by their house. There’s a bunch of construction, and some frisbee playing going on in the background, but we made it work :)


As we continued on our way, we passed by Cambridge Rindge & Latin School – which has these awesome red doors. I couldn’t walk by without taking some photos! What a great spot for portraits!!


And then there was a playground with this amazing wrought iron fence. I’m obsessed with taking pictures of wrought iron fences…


And then on to Harvard Yard where we shot on the steps of Widener Library.




And then we walked over to the Charles River where we got some of my favorite shots of the day. The light was just perfect!





By that point, Kelly was sufficiently worn out


So we headed back to their apartment


When we got back home, they showed me some beautiful old family photographs. Kelly’s great-grandmother was actually a photographer back in the day. It’s so cool that Kelly has these wonderful old photographs that have become priceless family heirlooms. It got us talking a bit about the timeless quality of black & white prints. And I’m so excited because they decided to have me shoot some black & white film at their wedding this weekend!! I got my start in film, and I still love it! Don’t get me wrong, digital has come a long way and you can’t beat its flexibility. But there is just nothing quite like a black & white fiber-base print made in the darkroom. hmmmm…

Anyway, this is my take on one of those old photos.


Evan & Kelly, it was so great hanging out with you guys! I can’t wait for the wedding this weekend!!
