Samantha and John flew me to Boston to spend the weekend with them over the Memorial Day holiday to photograph their engagement photos. I had not met the couple in person but I knew this was going to be a special event because of their enthusiasm and excitement they had expressed over the phone and via email. The goal was to photograph them similar to how I had photographed another client of mine in Boston last year where we had walked around the city, photographing creative portraits where ever we went. I would love to do this with all my clients! Not only did we spend two days together walking around Boston and Rockport (seaside photos below), but I left Boston having made two new friends! In photographing a couple as if I were out on a date with them, like you will see below, it allows me to get to know the couple, learn about their personalities and see them interact with one another. It prepares us all even more for the wedding day because they get to see me in action as well. You will see a combination of spontaneous moments as well as posed. In posing Samantha and John, they allowed me to be “me” and to be creative and fun.

I had as much fun spending the weekend in Boston with this couple as I can remember! They are terrific and I am very excited to photograph their wedding this coming August! Enjoy some of my favorites below and scroll to the bottom of the post to see their highlight slideshow!
