Summer Street Photography

Betsy

Sometimes we have to pinch ourselves. How did we get so lucky that we get to photograph such happy things all the time? Betsy’s photo session was full of LIFE and JOY. I mean, how can spending an hour in the park with a bubbly eight year old, two dogs, a slew of toys and a giant grassy hill just begging to roll down ever be a bad time? Quite simply, it can’t. Betsy’s parents thought it was due time that she have a fun portrait session all to her self, and why not? Soon enough she’ll be grabbing the car keys and heading off to college. We love capturing little everyday moments in families lives and our time with Betsy was no exception.

Colleen + Nick = Engaged

Okay guys, we have a confession. We are not very cool. I mean it. We spend our spare time gardening, geeking out over how various types of flour and butter combinations affects baked goods and we rarely go to bed past 11:00. Colleen and Nick though. They are cool. Hip, in fact. So much so that we hope that even by shooting their engagement session and wedding this August that some of their awesomeness will rub off on us. They came up from NYC (see? cool) to spend a little time getting acquainted with being in front of the camera on Boston’s waterfront.We had to take advantage of the perfectly grimy alley ways to grab some fun shots of them looking awesome (they didn’t even have to try) and threw in a few shots by the water and skyline for good measure. Of course their time spent with us only reinforced their coolness, but what we really loved watching was their genuine spirits and big hearts. We left their session feeling pretty much ready to move in next door and start planning casual dinner parties with bruschetta and wine. We can’t wait for their wedding later this summer which will no doubt be filled with amazing details (did I mention she works for Real Simple?) and lots of love.

Emily + Dan = Engaged

Emily and Dan are so natural together. They have a relaxed vibe that is approachable and kind. Can’t you just see that in their eyes? College sweethearts and lovers of the beach and Fenway, these two are folks we like to be around. We spent a relaxing afternoon together capturing photos of their Engagement in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood and the Esplanade….which isn’t on the ocean but just so happens to have a waterfront on the Charles River where the sun faces *west* (think about it….since we’re on the East Coast we can never have sunset beachy photos) so the spot is our own little secret for a relaxed seaside vibe with realllllyy good light. We had a great time getting to know them even better and they clearly are naturals in front of the camera. We can’t wait for their Ocean Edge Resort wedding this August. It’s going to be an amazing day!

Gaby + Luis = Engaged

Is there anything more romantic than an Engagement Session in the springtime? After a winter filled with snow, dark skies, dirty boots and more snow, the entire city of Boston has lifted their spirits at the sights of green grass, budding trees and cherry blossoms. Even the air smells different. There comes no better time to capture love and new beginnings than during the spring. We met up with Gaby, Luis and their pup Cocoa for an afternoon of moseying through the Boston Public Garden and taking photos of this special time in their lives. They are getting married later this month in Mexico and wanted to capture a session in the city they met and fell in love. We had a blast getting to know them and clearly they warmed up to the camera in no time. In fact we had to ask them several times if they were sure they were not professional models. I mean really, would you look at those two? Congratulations Gaby and Luis, enjoy Mexico!!

Erika + Steve = Married

There are some weddings that just feel like a giant dinner party. Everyone hugs as though it’s been years since they saw each other and the murmur of the dinner conversation buzzes with happiness. After getting to know Erika and Steve, it was no surprise to us that their wedding was such a classy, comfortable affair because they exude such an easy confidence both as a couple and as parents to their darling little girl. Erika and her ladies got ready in the bridal suite of the Willowdale Estate where sweet glances passed between them as the flower girls (Erika’s daughter and niece) sort of stole the show with their sweetness. Once Erika was dressed and ready and we were taking some bridal portraits of her, she found a live ladybug in her flower bouquet which we all took as a sign of good luck. Steve and his guys hung around and shared some laughs and food together as they waited for the ladies. Once they were both ready we photographed their first look and couple portraits on the gorgeous grounds of the Willowdale Estate. Willowdale remains one of our favorite venues because even in the early spring where the color has not popped yet, the building serves as such a stunning backdrop for photos. After more photos with family and loved ones everyone prepared for their cozy ceremony inside where Erika’s grandfather officiated their wedding. After the kiss, the evening continued with two of the sweetest toasts we’ve ever heard and lots more hugs from their family and friends. As you can see, the party did not slow down once the dance floor opened up. We loved the range of ages rocking out to ‘Shout’ and had to laugh when Steve’s grandparents took center stage on more than one occasion. Erika and Steve, it’s been absolute pleasure working with you both and we couldn’t be happier for you as you continue your relationship as husband and wife. Congratulations!
