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!  :)

Angie & Matt’s Wedding – Black & White FILM

Angie & Matt’s wedding was awesome, but one of my favorite things about it was that I got to shoot a bunch of FILM for them!  I got my start in wedding photography shooting for an all black & white film studio, and I still love it :)  Digital is fabulous, and totally has taken over the industry.  But, film still has a place, in my opinion.  There’s nothing quite so timeless as black & white film.  It just looks classic.  Clearly, I love it.  Anyway, here are a few of my favorite film shots from Angie & Matt’s wedding day…

Angie & Matt’s Wedding at The Taj – Boston MA

I remember when Angie first called me – she got right down to business and asked what they needed to do to make sure I was at their wedding!  I usually meet with clients before they book so we can all make sure we’re a good fit, but Angie was calling from Chicago and it just couldn’t happen.  Besides, she’s a woman who knows what she wants, and no sense in wasting any time making it happen!  I liked her right away ;)    When we finally met for their engagement session, I was totally excited to get to know them both and hear a little more of their story.  And that just made me more excited for their wedding day!  When the day finally arrived this Fall, it ended up being just as gorgeous and fun as I expected.   This was definitely a celebration, a real party!  That’s my kind of wedding :)

We started out the day at the Taj Boston, where Angie was getting ready…
