mary beth & matt || boston engagement photos

brett — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 21:31:11 +0000

Mary Beth & Matt suggested doing their engagement photos in December when Boston is lit up and decorated for the holidays… And, even though it was pretty chilly, I think it was a great idea! We met first at the Boston Public Library, and were able to get some great shots inside and in the courtyard there as well. We then headed to the Public Garden and Commons for some more. With their big smiles and easy laughter, I think the wedding is going to be a lot of fun!

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on, and I knew that I wanted to post this awesome engagement shoot right away… My friends Brent and Michelle! So cute, so fun… Tom and I had a blast exploring Newport with them.

Wow – Jennifer and Kah Yong made my job so easy for their engagement shoot! A lot of laughs and joking around, as well as many sweet moments in-between. We met at Christopher Columbus Park in Boston at the waterfront for their engagement photos. A great suggestion by Jennifer, since we had the water, the greenery, and even a nearby carousel! I can’t wait for the wedding next year :)

lisa & keith – engaged! boston engagement photographer

I don’t have much to say about Lisa and Keith – I think the photos say it all! They are such a fun, sweet couple and we had a wonderful time for their engagement photos. Can you believe that I had never been to the Arnold Arboretum before? I can’t! I’m so glad that Lisa suggested it for their photos. And I gave her a couple of ideas for fun props to bring, and she completely ran with it! Pinwheels, bubbles, streamers, steampunk goggles! Awesome. Also, you might notice I toyed around with the post-processing of some of these images, with a vintage/golden look.

heidi & chris – engaged! macon, georgia engagement photographer

Well, these are two of my favorite people! When I was visiting my good friend Heidi earlier this month I was able to talk her into getting her engagement photos done. They were a little hesitant at first – neither is very comfortable in front of the camera… But they smile and laugh so easily around each other, I think they are absolutely adorable! And glad I was there during the height of the cherry blossom season… Tom and I are so looking forward to the wedding in Savannah later this year. Can’t wait!

andrea and jamie – engaged! north end boston engagement photographer

brett — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 01:08:30 +0000

Well, Andrea and Jamie were the lucky winners of the facebook contest I had at Valentine’s day. We had to re-schedule to this past weekend, since the original weekend we planned for was so rainy and cold… Little did we know that we would choose the most beautiful day of the spring so far! And all of the tourists and everyone else in Boston agreed, because they were ALL there, I swear. Andrea and Jamie made great models (can’t believe you think you’re not photogenic – seriously!), and were thankfully fine with smooching in public :) and also were entertained (at least slightly?) by Tom’s (my husband) silliness. Some of these photos are his, too.

Looking forward to the wedding this fall!

kerry & scott – engaged! newburyport engagement photographer

brett — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:01:24 +0000

I was so thrilled to be out shooting finally this weekend! My first wedding on Saturday (sneak peek soon!), and then Kerry and Scott’s engagement photos on Sunday morning. We unfortunately didn’t have the balmy weather of Saturday, and getting closer to the water in Newburyport it got even more chilly. Kerry and Scott were up for it, though, and we all happily explored Newburyport together. They brought their adorable daughter along for some shots too (seriously, she is soooo cute! she kept getting up to show me her ballet dance moves).
