Shoshana & Andy's Engagement Session - Boston, MA

A couple of weeks ago, I photographed Shoshana & Andy's engagement session. It was a dreary day and as I drove down to meet them, it started to rain. I was afraid we'd have to do the session inside, but it turns out Shoshana & Andy were totally up for shooting in the rain! So, I put a plastic bag over my camera and we drove over to the Arnold Arboretum. Lucky for us, right as we pulled up it stopped raining and the sun came through the clouds. It was perfect timing!

Big trees, tiny little people :]




I love a playful couple





These two laugh, a lot








sweet








We found this very cool tree, and I had to put them in it!












They were troopers and went down into the swampy field for me. I was very glad I wore my sneakers this time!





How awesome is it that Shoshana's yellow shirt matched the flowers perfectly?!













Butterfly kisses


















Amidst all the fun laughing shots, I really liked this quiet, subdued photo the best.














After we'd had our fill of trees and flowering fields, we headed over to JP Licks and filled up on some DELICIOUS ice cream! And just in time too, it started raining almost as soon as we got inside.

I realized as I was editing this that I'd shot yet another cow. Not sure what's up with all the cows lately...




The hardest part is choosing a flavor!





It's always nice to share :)








A perfect end to a fun afternoon





Shoshana & Andy - we had a great time hanging out with you two! I'm still amazed at our luck with the weather :) Thanks again for the yummy ice cream! Photos from the wedding will be coming soon...

Alli & Glenn's eSession - Woodstock, CT

Alli & Glenn live in New York City, we met in Boston, their wedding will be in Newport, and we shot their engagement session in Woodstock, CT! Talk about a New England wedding, this one includes almost all of it!

Woodstock is such a cute town and there were so many options for their engagement photos. Unfortunately it was spitting rain through the whole shoot, but Alli & Glenn were good sports and didn't mind getting a little wet :) We started out at Glenn's parents' home where they have some beautiful blossoming trees. (btw, this photo totally reminds me of my friend Amanda's logo!)




I love barns! I'm so glad they hadn't painted this one yet.







After a little while at the house, we hopped in the car to see what we would find. Alli thought of this great little wooded area, and it turned out to be fabulous! Plus, it sheltered us from the rain.





They're cute :]









I just love Alli's gorgeous green eyes!





It was right about this point that I almost fell on my face running through the woods in my Birkenstocks so I could lay on the ground and get these shots. Mental note: don't wear birks on engagement shoots anymore...





This is one of my favorites from the day!





Hey, look, we found another barn!














I saved the best for last... We stumbled across a field full of cows hanging out beside the road, and we just couldn't resist taking a few photos with them. I mean, what's an engagement session for a NYC couple without some cows and a farm?! ;)








I love how the cows were posing for the camera!





This one really wanted to be in the picture





It was definitely was one of the most entertaining eSessions I've ever shot!









Alli & Glenn, thanks for a great shoot! I don't have many couples who would be up for having their engagement photos taken with cows, so thanks for being adventurous with me :) I'm totally excited for your Newport wedding in, woah, less than a month!

Elizabeth & Ryan's eSession - Marion, MA

Elizabeth called me months ago about her wedding to Ryan this June. She lives in Chicago, which means I liked her right away ;), but we never got a chance to meet until a couple weeks ago at their engagement session down in Marion, MA near Buzzards Bay. We met up at the home where the wedding will be, and it's such a gorgeous location - I am so excited for the wedding day! Elizabeth was just as pleasant to be around as she seemed on the phone, and Ryan is definitely her perfect match. It was very fun to finally meet them and we had a great time together taking photographs all over the property!









These two have such a great dynamic - they're so fun and playful, they clearly love being around each other!








They're also gorgeous!









Elizabeth is the kind of woman who greets you with a firm handshake and leaves you with a strong hug. She laughs HARD, with her whole body! You've got to love a woman like that!










It was totally worth walking through the mud to get these!













I have really learned to love shooting into the sun!







Coolest thing about this image is something Cynthia pointed out to me while she was editing the shoot... Even with all the light coming through, you can see Elizabeth's eyelashes. I love little details like that!





Just trying something different with the edit on this one... what do you think?





This is what this scene looked like from the other side








love it!





We walked through this little archway into the neighbors' yard from some images with a totally different feel.









there's that laugh again!





Elizabeth & Ryan, it was SO great to finally meet you! I had such a great time getting to know you both. I can't wait for your wedding - it's going to be beautiful and so much fun!

I'm back!

Well, I'm back from vacation, and it was FABULOUS! Hopefully it won't take me another year to get photos up for you guys ;) Since coming home, I've been catching up on emails, shooting, and editing a LOT of images! There should be a bunch of new blog posts coming very soon, starting NOW!
