Ari and Ben

Photographing in the city is fun, but it’s sometimes nice to mix things up and find a quiet place. I’m glad Ari and Ben suggested Walden Pond. None of us had been before, at least not as adults, and I really enjoyed the blank page this new place provided. Making pictures is the reason for […]

Courtney and Chris

Courtney and Chris won’t be living in the North End forever. So, we decided it would be a good idea to record them in a place they’ve felt lucky to call home. We wandered the small streets and even explored past Haymarket and onto the Common. Although they’ll miss the great food and neighborhood feel […]

Addie and Dave

Addie and Dave’s wedding is soon, but it’s never too late for engagement pictures. We walked quickly through the Public Garden and then headed up Newbury Street. Addie and Dave met while working at a Newbury Comics, so we went into the Newbury Street location to reminisce. They couldn’t help but straighten records and CDs […]

Christina and Danny

Christina and Danny live in Rhode Island, but last week they travelled north to use Boston as the background for their engagement photos. Danny proposed to Christina downtown earlier this summer, but we also took the train up to Boston University to revisit the campus where they first met. We were blessed with a beautiful […]

Emily and Matt

Matt proposed to Emily among the sculptures at the DeCordova (How do you pronounce that?). So, we started at the hearts and ended at The Intercontinental with Sake Margaritas. Can’t wait for their Cape wedding next month. I’ll need to focus more that day; during the engagement session I enjoyed talking with them so much […]

Emily and Ben

I’m shooting Emily and Ben’s wedding in October. This past weekend they flew in from St. Louis and showed me their old stomping grounds. They met as students at Boston College, so we wandered around campus and Cleveland Circle. I saw their favorite pizza hangout, where they had their first kiss, and where Ben pretended […]

Sharon and Marcus

Sharon and Marcus are getting married in Singapore this summer. Before they left we explored the areas that have been important to them during their time in Boston. We started in the Longwood Medical Area before heading downtown and then over to Harvard’s main campus. Sharon and Marcus told me they were nervous about having […]

Ellen and Phumlani

Ellen and Phumlani got married last year. However, they are returning home to South Africa and want to bring back pictures of the places that were important to them for the past 10 months. We wandered around the Boston Common, Harvard Law School, Hope Fellowship Church, the Charles River, and the track where Phumlani spent […]

Patty and Anthony

If you ask me, the best light of the day is at sunrise.  But, when I told Patty and Anthony that 6:30 a.m. would be a possible time to do their engagement portraits, I didn’t expect them to think that was a good idea.  I’m lucky they did.  Not only were Patty and Anthony absolutely […]
