I took some engagement photos again not too long ago, it’s definitely getting colder these days and boy were we all covered with mosquito bites … Katrina & Billy came with their little Yorkie, what a cutie pie … haha! Who could ever resist her bit eyes??

Katrina’s & Billy’s photos were taken at a beach near Marshfield.

Thanks for a fun shoot & I’ll see you guys again next summer :o)

Yay! And an other fun engagement shoot on my favorite beach :o)

Meet MiJung & Young, a wooonderful couple who’s wedding I’ll be shooting later this fall!! :o)

Loove this one :o)

I haven’t been blogging any engagement photos recently, even though the fall is usually engagement season, there are just too many photos on my pile at the moment, and I don’t really get to share most of them :o)

But I photographer photographed 2 really fun engagement sessions last weekend, and though I should share :o) Both of them were taken at a beach a bit north of Boston, my favorite beach for e-sessions as you just can’t go wring with such a backdrop :o)

Meet Laurie & Ian. What a handsome couple you guys are! I hope you guys enjoy the teasers you’ll hopefully get to see your gallery tomorrow :o)

Can’t wait to shoot your wedding next year!! :o)

I am finally catching up again with my posts. :o) My engagement photo season is finally started, I always enjoy those shoots because they are so relaxed and one doesn’t feel rushed. AND having a really fun & handsome couple to shoot is like winning the lottery ;o)

Marcie & Nate, I had so much fun with you (despite the VERY sticky weather … I don’t even think it shows in the photos). Haha! You guys will make a wedding photographer very happy! :o) I hope you have a beautiful wedding next year and I wish you a wonderful future together! :o)

I’ll start and finish with 2 of my favorites from the day :o)  :

Tara & Clay, you guys are truly one of the cutest couples I’ve had in front of my camera! Thanks so much for having me over for a little Cape-Cod photo date out in the nature :o)

I know you’ve been waiting for this sneakedy peek for a while … I think I included a couple more in this post than I emailed you earlier this week, so I hope you’ll enjoy.

I hope you guys have a beautiful wedding later this summer, you’ll have to share some of your pics, I’m dyyyyying to see them :o)

Tara  & Clay surprised me with a little picnic basket filled with Champagne and scrabble. Sooooo cute!!!! :o)

and one pic with a little special post processing, just for fun :o)

Leona & Dave, you are truly one of the kindest couples I worked with. I had a blast at our engagement shoot, and loved all the locations we went to. Thanks so much for recommending the Butterfly Place in Westford, you guys must have gotten the coolest ring photo ever & I’m of course already looking forward to your wedding later this fall ;o)

Here is a little sneak peek into your set :o)

I like your hair piece, Dave!! Haha! :o)

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:

Tim and I did a little trip out West for a couple of days and visited some really good old friends of ours. …  Jesse & Zee were actually partially the reason why I became a wedding photographer. :o)

Jesse & Zee were my VERY FIRST wedding couple. They got married in a gorgeous castle in Fjälkinge, Sweden a couple of years ago. It was just one of the most beautiful weddings I attended as a friend & photographer, and it was a huge honor you guys had so much faith in my skills … haha … it was a scary, but HUGE honor at the same time! :o)

It was wonderful (and so much fun!!) visiting you guys in San Francisco – uhm, I’m already planning my move out there, haha …. ! :o)

And Zee …, I know you’ll be a famous interior designer one day!!!! :o)

one more:

Do you recognize this photo? :o) Yup, that’s Zandra & Jesse :o)

It’s kind of difficult to schedule a fall engagement session. You have this 1 month window, but you can’t predict when the leaves will be perfect (it varies from park to park and can drive one crazy!), how cold it might get the next day, and if there are still any chances of it being sunny.
Well … :o) Kara & Jacin did not only pic the perfect spot for their engagement photos, but we had the sunniest & most gorgeous afternoon at the Larz Anderson Park in Brookline. I had not even an idea this park existed, it must be the cutest little hidden treasure around!!!

I don’t have to tell you how much fun I had, Kara & Jacin, I think you coudl tell ;o) Thanks again for not only being super sweet and great in front of the camera all day, but also for the delicious dinner!!! Yummyness!!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session, I can’t wait to photograph your wedding next year, it will be a blast :o) :

Congrats to your engagement, Kate & Ethan! I can’t wait to see you guys again at your wedding next year :o)

The photos were taken at the gorgeous Singing Beach. It was a bit of a foggy day, but you 2 made is so much fun! Thanks :o)

Katerina & Nacios, my fun, loving, handsome Greek couple. :o) I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to your wedding next year, it sounds like SO much fun! :o)

Photos were taken in the lovely Rose Garden at Lynch Park in Beverly.

… so is the photographer – with the couple ;o). It honestly couldn’t have been a better day! You guys are such a fun, happy, cute, handsome, loving couple that I can’t wait until you set your BIG date (haha!!!) Thank you for a great day, I had a blast, I really did!

What a gorgeous couple! We took some photos at the beautiful Wellesley College, I love it out there, it kind of reminds me of an old European garden … beautiful …

Yay! After some rainy days here in Boston, I finally got to shoot Kellie’s & Brian’s engagement photos! :o) In case anybody is wondering, … no … we didn’t fly out to Amsterdam to shoot those photos ;o) … We visited the beautiful Heritage Museum in Sandwich, MA. :o)

Some with a more vintage look:This got to be my favorite engagement photo this season ;o)

Got to shoot this lovely & FUN couple downtown Boston (well, actually South Boston) some days ago. Got to love the industrial feel & all the crazy colors … :o)

I decided to do a little blog-warm-up, so here are some photos from my very last engagement session, taken fall last year. It must have been one of the last warm & sunny days in 2007 (I hate the winter and can’t wait until spring is finally here).
Everything looked perfect, the couple was sweet and very fun to photograph and the fall colors … well, it was just beautiful. Jessica & Jeremy actually ended up choosing the location, so we had our little shooting in the park of Wellesley College.
I would go back in a heartbeat, what a gorgeous place!

But let’s get to some photos:
