I’d love to share some of Dounia & Greg’s “day before” photos that we took on the beautiful Biltmore Estate Grounds & Greenhouse. It was such a cold, rainy day … but honestly, I couldn’t have imagined it any more beautiful. If rainy fall day would just always look so beautiful! <3 And may I just say how MUCH I loved Dounia’s gorgeous dress!?

Biltmore Estate Wedding

Susan & Corey • Engaged & almost married :o)

I guess I should start calling myself a destination photographer since in the past few years I’ve had to travel to ALL my weddings … but then I still call Boston my second home as that’s where we moved from and where most of my clients are (I love you guys all!) :o) Every once in a while though even the couple has to travel to their wedding location (ha!) so we share the same “destiny” and don’t really get to meet until the week of. I always strongly recommend a skype meeting in case we can’t meet for an interview before they book me (hey, you never know what kind of weirdo vendor you book, haha), but if for some reason that is not possible I REALLY insist on meeting a few days ahead of the big day to get some pre-wedding photos taken. There is a lot to be said to meeting the person that you’ll be smiling & around for for a full day. A quick little engagement / pre-wedding session will take away some of the stress and initial awkwardness and you’ll see you’ll be posing like pros on your big day :o) + it’s just nice to get to know each other a little bit and chat in between photos :o)

I absolutely love the photos I got of sweet Susan and her almost hubbers Corey. They took me to a beautiful beach on Martha’s vineyard where Corey grew up. You gotta scroll down, I reallllllly love some of the sunset photos we got by the rocks, soooooo very pretty!

Stay tuned for their beautiful wedding photos, I’ll post them in not too long :o)

Martha’s Vineyard Wedding Photographer, A Brilliant Photo

Ankita & Sachin • Engaged! :o)

Soso excited to share this next set. I just realized that I haven’t shot any engagement photos in a while, as most of my couples this year are planning their weddings from out of State and I won’t get to meet them until a couple of days before the wedding. I was so excited to hang out with Ankita and Sachin for a little while on Harvard University, where they just graduated from. They took me to some of their favorite spots on campus and I loved how they remembered the place where they first laid eyes on each other – up to where he proposed. They are both such a sweet couple and I’m so excited to be shooting their wedding at the the Museum of Science in downtown Boston! I’ll share a few outtakes on here also, just because I can’t resist, think the outtakes kinda show their sweet, loving and funny personalities best – a truly wonderful couple! <3 Can’t wait to see you guys again soon! :o)

Who said engagement photos are all serious business? :o)

Love these two :o))

Sachin wanted to make sure I get a few photos of where he proposed to his sweet Ankita :o)

We kinda ran out of light by the end of the shoot and decided to get a few last shots downtown Cambridge. Goodness, LOVE the lights in the back, and look how Ankita’s beautiful dress matches the colors. A PERFECT ending to a fun shoot! :o)

Shaleen & Daniel • Engaged!

Aaaand last but definitely not least from this little series; Shaleen & Dan who drove all the way up from NY!! (WOWZER!!!) What should I say? I love you guys! Shaleen, you’re one of the sweetest brides! I had sooo much fun with you and wanted to thank you again for bringing sunshine to our little shoot on an other rainy Cape Cod day! I actually don’t think one would ever guess it rained looking at the photos, though the sky does look a bit frightening in some of the shots, haha! Thank you, thank you, thank you for driving all the way up that weekend. I had a blast hanging out with you guys can I of course can not wait to see you Shaleen in your pretty white dress and you, Dan in your nice uniform at the Cobb Hill Estate in the pretty NH mountains. :o)

The adorable couple, Shaleen & Daniel:

This photo pretty much summed up my week on the Cape, haha!\

LOVE!

A stormy sea makes for some nice photos :o)

Gotta love those 2!

After we took a few photos at the beach we drove back towards Falmouth and stopped at a fun industrial spot. Love the red wall, fun, no? :o)

So, so cute! Love the one on the left … ok, love them both :o)

Thanks for an awesome shoot you guys! <3

Tara & John • Engaged!

Aaaand a few from Tara & John’s shoot! You will not believe it, but I was actually worried it’d be too sunny during our shoot that day, and what did we get??? RAIN. Seriously??? I love all my couples, I’m so happy everybody just made the best out of the weather – if anything I think this couple had a bit TOO much fun … but then … I don’t think there is such a thing, right? :o)

But I do have to say – I think you guys have been together the longest (think you just had a 10 year celebration, right? Or was it 8 years?) I have never seen a couple be as happy as you guys after so many years! I love you guys to pieces and I can not wait to shoot your wedding at the Lake View Pavilion next year! YAYAAAAA! <3

Love this photo of you guys!

We started off shooting at the Nobska Light House. Such a pretty, pretty spot!

and then we went to a close-by beach:

So cute, love this one:

And boy did they have a “great day at the beach” ;o)

So, so sweet!

I swear those two just couldn’t stop laughing! :o)

Loooove this one! :o)

And I’m going to finish with one of my very favorites from that day!

Ready for some MORE Cape Cod photos?? :o) Jennifer & Bobby’s set is up next, hope you guys enjoy. A truuuuly wonderful couple with a sweet story, I had so much fun on your shoot – you guys crack me up! :o) I can’t wait to shoot your wedding at the pretty Lake Pearl Lucciano’s next year, it sure looks like a beeauuuutiful location!

I know you won’t believe it, but I didn’t do much to Jennifer’s eyes! Goorgeous, right?? :o)

Cute, cute, cute! :o)

Gotta love this one:

Ahhhh, sunset on the Cape! How I miss living close to the beach!

Beauuutiful! Doesn’t get much better, right? :o)

Such a pretty smile!

Thanks for a really fun shoot you guys!

Kim & Patrick • Engaged!

I’m sharing two posts today :o) next up are a few photos from one of my recent engagement shoots with Kim & Patrick. We had honestly the most beautiful light by the end of the session. I usually don’t shoot that late, but boooy was it pretty to have the moon in the background for some of them.

Kim and Patrick (and I think everybody that knows those 2 will agree with me) and one of the sweetest couples! I had sooo much fun with you guys and I’m already soooo looking forward to your wedding at the pretty New Seabury Country Club next year! Wohoo! :o)

Meet sweet Kim & Patrick:

Gotta looove those eyes and that pretty smile!
Loved that Patrick brought his guitar along to the shoot. He’s a pretty darn good singer & guitar player!

Love the pretty bunting Kim found on etsy:

They’re both sooo adorable!

Loooove the last 2 shots:

Melissa & Mat • Engaged!

Melissa and Mat’s wedding is actually coming up VERY shortly here, 1 more moth to goooo!!! Wohoo! :o) Hope you guys are ready! :o) I can not wait to photograph their big day at the pretty Mount Washington Hotel in NH – oh my, oh my, what a treat! :o) Not only is the location super pretty, but I could really not imagine shooting a sweeter couple out there! :o)

I hope you enjoy a little sneak peek into their set. The photos were taken in South Boston, around the ICA and on the water front. Don’t think there is a prettier view onto Boston than from my favorite little park across the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Love your guys and I can’t wait to see you again realllll soon! :o)

My super handsome and sweet couple, Melissa & Mat:

Look at those blue eyeeeessss!

I’m in love with this photo! You guys rock!!

Aaaand next up some photos from my fun shoot with Kerri & James, who will be celebrating their wedding next year at the beautiful Pinehills Country Club. They picked a couple spots I haven’t shot at before, but hey, who would ever say no to shooting at an old chocolate factory, right?? :o) Gotta love creative couples :o)

Congrats to your engagement!!! YAY! :o)

Love this ring shot … ah, there is just something about a rusty blue …

Adorable, right?? :o)

Photos were taken in and around Dorchester

Maryellen & Brendan • Engaged!

Alright, I am a liiitle bit late with my next 2 posts as I was finishing up some things before my next (long) trip to Boston / the Cape. I can not wait to come back, but at the same time it will be the longest trip for me I’ve been away from my lill girl, soooooo … keep your children away from me or else … they’ll be cuddled :o))

I did however want to share my last 2 engagement shoots from my last trip :o)

First off meet Maryellen & Brendan, a super cute couple whose history goes back to primary school … in fact .. they played Maria & Joseph in a Christmas play together (how cute is that??) They’re still missing some photos from that play, so if you know them and think you have a photo where both of them are in it, I’m sure they’d love you for forever ;o)

They’re such a sweet and easygoing couple, can’t wait to shoot their Ocean Edge wedding next year! :o)

Congrats again to your engagement!! :o)

Photos were taken at the pretty Boston Waterfront / Boston Harbor Walk, the ICA, at the Public Garden and we ended up on Beacon Hill on the famous Acorn Street :o)

Danielle & Zachary • Engaged!

And one more post from the Cape! It was a suuuny, sunnnny day! Haha! But Danielle & Zach played along and hey, who’s gonna complain about shooting / posing on a pretty beach, right?? Aww! I can’t wait to shoot your wedding at the Wedgewood Pines Country Club next year, yay!!

I’m gonna start with my favorite from the shoot :o)

Aren’t they a beautiful couple??

Love this one :o)

Love how Zach looks at Danielle here! :o)

Thanks for a fun shoot you guys! :o)

Erika & Jake • Engaged!

Alrighty, I will admit I am WAY behind with my sneak peeks, and so I figured I better catch up before my to-do list collapses on me ;o)

I shared this set on facebook a while back, but I think we all agree that the image quality on FB just doesn’t do the photos justice, so here are a few larger versions :o)

Erika and Jake are SUCH a suuuper sweet and funny couple, I had a blast at their shoot (1st real engagement shoot in Colorado! Wohoo!) :o) *Unfortunately* I will not able to shoot their wedding this September, boo :o( BUT I hope you guys have a wonderful day and until then I’ll keep my fingers crossed we’ll be able to do a post wedding shoot later this year :o)

Oh! For those of you familiar with the area, wondering where the photos were taken … Erika & Jake picked the pretty Mesa Trail (just a few minutes outside Boulder) as their backdrop, what a beauuutiful spot, right?? :o)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for a woooonderful afternoon! I know you guys already saw the whole set, but I *had* to share a few here on my blog also :o)

The handsome couple:

Loooove this old tree, what a landscape, right?

Isn’t Erika just beauuutiful in this one??

Lucky Jake:

And one from behind the scenes :o))) You guys have no idea how windy it was that day, haha! AND sunny! We were trying to beat the rain (there was a storm brewing up in the mountains), so we had to schedule the shoot during some harsh sunlight. Thanks for being such great sports, guys!!! :o))

Who can resist taking a ring shot on a heart-shaped cactus during an eng shoot … :o)) HAD to happen ;o)

Love this shot, definitely one of my favorites from the day:

And isn’t this ring super pretty?? It’s an antique … Love it!

Can’t wait to see the photos from your wedding! :o)

Amy & Geordie • Engaged!

I’m sharing two sets today :o) Next up is a wonderful engagement session I had on my last trip to Boston. Gotta love spring and all the strong colors and you gotta love a really fun couple that is up for anything! :o)

I don’t know many couples that would have tolerated such a long shoot with me, haha!! We walked all over town; started off on Beacon Hill, took some photos on Acorn Street, got some fun shots on a carousel in the Boston Common, walked trough the Public Garden over to Commonwealth Avenue and ended up in front of the Public Library! What a fun afternoon :o) I seriously can not wait to shoot your wedding at the beautiful New Seabury Country Club later this summer, I am sure everything will look gorgeous and you Amy, will look just beaaaaautiful in your dress! :o)

Thanks so much for a really fun shoot! :o)

I love Acorn Street, such a perfect & picturesque spot!

And a couple photos I took while they were on the carousel, haha!

Gotta love those 2!! :o) Can you believe that Geordie proposed on their first date?? When you know,  you know :o)

Love this one of Geordie:

Isn’t Amy just gorgeous?? I work with the most beautiful people! :o)

Spring in Boston! Definitely MY favorite time of the year! :o)

Don’t you just LOVE this photo?? :o)

And the lit lanterns just made it be perfect!Ending this post with one of my favorite engagement shots! Did a more James-Bond kinda processing :o) L-O-V-E  I-T! :o)

Ohhh, what a fun set! I got to shoot Tiffany’s & Colin’s 2 year anniversary photos (they promised each other to do a shoot every year – what a great idea, isn’t it??)

Thanks so much for letting me shoot your photos, you guys are an absolutely adorable couple and I wish you many, many happy years (and shoots) together :o)

Jessica & Chris • Engaged!

Oh my!!! What a fuuun session. I met Jessica & Chris at Narrangansett Beach (where they got engaged) last Saturday. They scoped the area before we met, and decided to take a couple of photos at a nearby beach first, and boy was that a beautiful spot!! I loooved all the colors, and Jess, your dress was such a wonderful splash of color in all the photos. Just beautiful. I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek :o)

I’ll start off with a photo I saw on an other photographer’s blog just a couple of days ago. I was dying to get this pic ever since I saw it, and just LOVE how it came out, one of my favorite engagement photos EVER!!!

Doesn’t Jess just have the most beautiful smile?? Nahhhhh, goooorgeous, I can’t WAIT to see you in your dress!

What a backdrop!!

Did I mention that it was super foggy that day??

I’ll see you guys later this summer :o)

Stephanie & Eric | 2 Year Anniversary Shoot

Even though I don’t post *all* of my shoots on my blog, I thought I will eventually have to post Stephanie & Erics pics that we took back in October (has it been already *that* long? WOW).

We’ve been planning to take an anniversary shoot for a couple of weeks, and did eventually get a Sunday with some nice (+ still warm weather). I’m still amazed how pretty the light was even thought we were shooting during harsh mid-day light … so here’s a tasty taste:

Oh and no … we did not “trash” the dress … It was just a “casual” post-wedding shoot :o)

Melissa & Jake • Engaged!

Ah, I love you guys. The shoot we had was so much fun, I don’t even know where to start! :o)

Melissa’s & Jake’s engagement photos were taken at the beautiful Larz Anderson Park, one of my favorite parks in the Boston area (yup, I love the bridge, you probably saw it before if you have been following my blog :o) ) AND not only did we luck out with the weather, but the Auto Museum had an outdoor exhibit and so we took some cool vintage pics with some old VW bugs, soooo cute, haha. I have a secret love for old cars … :o)

Oh, just love the colors of the mushrooms. What a fun pic, … if I may say so … :o)

We had a loooot of fun during the shoot, can you tell? :o)
