Christina & Kyle, The Engagement Photos

Introducing Christina and Kyle at the Wayside Inn Gristmill in Sudbury. I had never been to this location before, and I just loved it. If it hadn't been so hot and humid, I would have run around this place the whole day. I looked at myself in the car window after the shoot, and Christina and Kyle, if you're reading this, you must have thought I was an insane person. I was dripping sweat and my hair was a disaster. Happily, I was the one behind the camera, and my beautiful couple in front of the camera stayed cool (or at least, cool looking).

Christina and Kyle.

I'm starting to collect engagement stories, so I can live vicariously through people's love stories. The proposal was a surprise, even though they'd talked about it. They went to Foxwoods with some friends. Kyle couldn't get her alone and finally asked her to talk a walk with him. Christina invited everyone to come. Felicitously, everyone declined. So they walked. They talked. And Kyle popped the question. The rest... is history to be made :)

I loved how sassy this girl is. I can't wait to see her work it in her wedding dress.



I had to post these, because I LOVED these photos, despite the fact that no die-hard Boston couple may ever hire me again for consenting to photograph this outfit...





Whew. And thank you, Bostonians who have kept reading past that :)

Just kidding.

Alisha & Carl, The Engagement Photos

I had the honor of photographing this beautiful couple with The Classic Image, and I have the even more exciting honor of shooting their wedding this coming Saturday, which I'm endlessly excited about. Beautiful Secret-Garden-esque setting, fairy wings. Now all we need is good weather.

But here are some of their engagement photos for starters :)

Ivy & Seth, The Engagement Photos

They met. They wanted to save the world. They learned each others hopes and dreams. They started to date.

And then they filled in the banal stuff - parent's names, favorite color, etc.

That's overly simplified, but how can you put into word such amazing people? This shoot was, simply, hilarious. Their chemistry and their humor and their cuteness are just to die for. This is just the sweet stuff. I may post the hilarious stuff separately, with permission :)

Ivy and Seth, at the Boston Arboretum.

This next one is probably my favorite one of the day:

Big eyes.

Big love.

I'm way behind, but almost fully edited, so hopefully a couple more blog posts in the near near future :)
