I think I should do more engagement shoots on Beacon Hill, it’s such a beautiful & charming area!

Alexis, William & I took most of the photos on the Esplanade & Beacon Hill where the 2 lucky birds live. We even managed to sneak a photo on Acorn Street (who knew that it’s actually a private street, and nobody – except the locals – are allowed there?!). The little streets, stone sidewalks & cute entryways remind me a lot of my home town back in Switzerland … hmm, I think I need a vacation …

Thanks so much for a fun morning, you are a wonderful couple and I am already looking forward to your big day in pretty much exactly 1 year! Oh, and I will actually see you again in just a couple of weeks at Kara & Jacin’s wedding, yay! :o)

After I finished up an engagement session this morning, I decided to wander around the Public Garden and take some photos of the blooming trees. There were so many people enjoy the sun, and the warm weather, that it was not much of a surprise when I eventually bumped into a couple that wanted to have their photo taken. This time however it was different. :o)

I think as a wedding photographer you develop this certain love for people in love and I could just tell how happy Duncan & Sayaka were, so I asked them if they would want to have some pics taken with my camera (besides – I am not good with point & shoot cameras, haha! So I though I would make it up  for the bad photo they just got and email them a pic from my camera instead) … well, it turned into a 10 minute photoshoot (which wedding photographer can resist a good looking couple that is just so in love??). You guys are SUCH a wonderful couple!!! I hope you had a nice, romantic stay here in Boston.

I wish both of you all the best and who knows maybe I’ll come and visit you one day in NY! Thanks so much for being so spontaneous, seriously … you guys are a perfect match and I wish you a wonderful future together! :o)

UPDATE! (I just got an email from Duncan & Sayaka) They got engaged later that day!! I can not express in words how happy I am for you guys! You seriously just made my day …. ok, week … most likely even year!! This is probably the most random, and cutest story I’ve ever been involved in … by chance! :o)

This was my first beach engagement session of the year, ahhh spring / summer, here we come :o).

Alexis & Robert, thanks so much for letting me shoot your engagement photos. You were such a joy to photograph. We got tons of photos, boy … haha I can’t wait to share the rest with you soon! I hope you guys have a wonderful wedding!!

Here are some of my favorites from our session, enjoy :o)

Love, love, love this shot:

I just received Irene & George’s engagement album order, and while I was looking through their photos I spotted this beauty of  shot … thought I would share, since I don’t think I posted this photo before (taken last year) :o)

Can’t wait to shoot your wedding in a bit more than a month (how time flies … wow) at the gorgeous Boston Harbor Hotel!! Yay!

I am not sure if this could have been a nicer spring day for an engagement session!! Maybe the warm weather will come after all, who would have guessed! :o)

Kathryn & Nicholas, I had so much fun, you were such a wonderful & spontaneous couple to work with, and I can’t WAIT to shoot your wedding this fall at the Lighthouse Inn!!!!! :o) Thank you for a fun, funny & sunny session, I am already looking forward to sharing the rest of the pics with you! :o)

Photos were taken in the gorgeous sculpture garden of the DeCordova Museum.

I am in love with the shark installation (by Kitty Wales). Here’s an other take on it:
