We could not have had a more perfect afternoon with Lindsay and Alex for their engagement session- perfect puffy clouds against blue skies, not too cold, not too hot and the fabulous backdrop of Boston. We had such a lovely time, we really didn’t want it to end, which might account for our venture into Match for drinks and mini-burgers. Lindsay and Alex were just so great to talk with- I loved chatting about their possible honeymoon destinations, about their love of wine (have to get that list of Napa vineyards to check out) and their enjoyment of cooking.
I truly can’t wait to celebrate with them at the Copley Plaza next fall. Do I really have to wait almost a whole year?
We started off their engagement session on the Cambridge side of the Charles River, for some great views of the city.
As it happened, we came across this enchanting forest. The trees were so cool. Lindsay and Alex look right at home.
Dave’s view….
My view…
Then we headed into the city for a few more urban images in their old ‘hood. Dave’s turn for a kissing moment…
But I got the smiles and laughter.
So sweet how they smile just after a kiss.
We walked over Soldier’s Field Road to get to the Boston side of the River. We had hoped to get a spot on the dock, but there were people enjoying the day on every corner of it. As it turns out, we found an even better spot amidst the trees.
Then under the willow trees. It was a pretty magical place. And I absolutely love the way Lindsay and Alex are enjoying the moment.
We had such an amazing afternoon. Thank you guys! It really was Sweet.

This weekend, we snuck in an engagement session with Jess and Ivan, whose wedding is in just over a week. We wanted to make sure we had this chance to get together in a relaxed setting before the wedding. And also, to share the photos with them and get their feedback before the big day. The weather had been less than cooperative for our initial plans, but this day was perfect. As was the location.
With the Back Bay as our playground, we enjoyed the wealth of possibilities our fair city has to offer. Gotta love Boston!
We actually know Ivan and Jess pretty well already. Ivan and Dave had been roommates in college at UMass Amherst; as soon as we moved back to the Boston area, we got together with them. We instantly adored Jess.
And of course, playdates with Max and their pup Noodle were a must. Both dogs love the tennis ball and neither is agressive about having it. Excellent playmates.
Perhaps my favorite thing about heading out on a photographic double date with Ivan and Jess was pausing to watch them interact with each other. They laugh so much!!!
And my other favorite thing was watching them play with Noodle- who is totally absolutely adorable. Such a happy family.
And so cute, Noodle watching Jess and Ivan. Like he wants to join in.
All around a great morning! Thank you both- we had so much fun.
We really can’t wait for your wedding at the Harvard Club. It is going to be amazing. And we are totally going to take you up on your offer to hang out and dance for a bit after we are finished shooting!

Fall foliage in New England is a photographer’s dream. Beautiful colors everywhere and amazing light in the afternoon. Add to that one stunning couple. And you get an absolutely perfect engagement session.
When Andrea and Eric envisioned their engagement session, they knew they wanted to capture a very "New England-y" feel; they wanted their images to show off their home at its best. They wanted fall foliage, colonial architecture, boats in a harbor. They wanted a picturesque seaside town. The north shore certainly offers plenty of options; Dave and I had recently been to Marblehead and immediately saw the potential there.
