When Megan and Ryan started planning their Engagement Session and asked for some recommendations for locations within Boston that had a natural, park-like feel we knew just where to shoot. The Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain remains one of our favorite oasis' for photo shoots for a few reasons. No matter how busy it is, the park is big enough to find your own little quiet corner to appreciate the (meticulously labeled - thanks Harvard!) various species of plants and trees and feel as if you have slipped into the countryside for the afternoon. Add in two lovebirds that are perfectly matched for one another (ahem - Megan and Ryan!) and we're happy photographers. These two are genuine, kind-hearted and aren't afraid to be just a little bit silly. We loved capturing their lives here in Boston before they get married in Missouri next June. Congratulations Megan + Ryan!
We've had the pleasure of knowing Fiona for a few years when she did one-on-one photography mentoring with us back in 2013. She's a talented photographer and lovely person all around (oh, and Irish, which is pretty cool). When she told us she'd met the love of her life in Allie and couldn't imagine anyone else photographing this special time, we were ecstatic. As it turns out, Allie is everything (and more) Fiona said she was: compassionate, funny, loving and true. They are so good together and seeing them happy is infectious. Chuck captured this session of them with their two little furry love bugs, and we can't wait to capture their wedding next spring!
Sorry for the humble brag, but we have to say it. Our clients are simply the best. We are so grateful to tell love stories for real couples and document it on camera, but it's really the cherry on top of the sundae when our couples are as sweet as Emily and Rob. These two compliment one another so well. Smart, endearing, charismatic, and laid-back; Emily and Rob are well suited for one another. Matt was lucky enough to spend a morning photographing them together in one of our favorite Boston parks, the Arnold Arboretum, and the vivid colors of a humid summer day are just divine. We can't wait to shoot their wedding next May at the Endicott Estate but in the meanwhile we'll have to return to their adorable Engagement Session images for our Emily and Rob fix.
It's official. We're in love with this session and these two love birds. Chuck will be shooting their wedding next fall and the only problem with that is that we get jealous of him getting to work with such an awesome couple as Audrey and Patrick. The three of them spent a perfectly brisk fall afternoon strolling through the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain and we couldn't be more obsessed with the perfect fall color palate and the love oozing out of these photos. Can it be autumn forever?
There is something so sweet about this Engagement Session, isn't there? It's quiet and calm yet full of the type of love that exists from two people who made for one another. We met up with Josie and Josh at the Arnold Arboretum on a stormy summer evening and photographed the two of them in their element. These photos go to show that you don't need some sort of elaborate styled photoshoot to have some great images of your love and you together. Sometimes all you need is a quiet park on the brink of a summer storm as the two of you dodge raindrops together. Life is most beautiful during the in-between moments, isn't it?
We spent an enjoyable evening in the Arnold Arboretum with Melaney and Mike a few weeks back and are excited to share some of their Engagement Photos with you today. After a very busy month of shooting, editing and diving into the craziness of wedding season, it feels good to take a moment to slow down and enjoy looking at photos like these. It's far too easy for us to keep trucking forward at 100 miles per hour going from session to session and doing our thing, but more often than not, it's best for us to slow down and notice the sweet ways our couples interact with one another. The little glances, the snuggles and the way their hands fit together. Melaney and Mike are a perfect example of just how good two people can be together. I love the way they laugh around one another, and how you can just tell that everything is right with the world when they are near one another. It's so very sweet and we are honored to get to capture their (and all our couples) love. You'll see their sweetness again on the blog after their
We met up with Stephanie, Tyler and their two adorable pups Leroy and Duncan right after Hurricane Sandy hit Boston, so we were all a little worried that the beautiful fall foliage and lush landscape of the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain would have been damaged. Fortunately, fall picked up right where it had left off and gave us a beautiful sunny sky and some great color on the trees. Stephanie and Tyler could not have been more perfect amidst the pretty scenery. While they are both extremely good looking, it's really their calm and compassionate spirits that make them so easy to be around. They truly have hearts of gold and its in working with couples like Stephanie and Tyler that Matt and I have to pinch ourselves that we actually get to work with such amazing people and do something we love so much. We simply can not wait for their Connecticut Vineyard Wedding next July - it's going to be amazing!
