Boston Public Library Engagement
April and I both love the rain, so there were certainly no tears shed on our part when the forecast called for showers the day of Serena and Wendall’s engagement session at The Boston Public Library. Thankfully, Serena and Wendall were game as well, and armed with their colorful umbrellas, we had fun with the challenge of staying as warm and dry as possible while still making some great images for them. Even though we were all drenched and freezing by the end, it was still SUPER fun. Embrace the rain, friends! Look how romantic it is! (All that having been said, we’re looking forward to lots of gorgeous sun at their wedding in MEXICO this fall! Whoop!)
For Jennifer & Raymond’s engagement session we just wandered the gorgeous streets of their South End neighborhood. Each turn of the corner was more pretty than the last and I think we ended up covering several miles before the sun decided that the session was over. It was so fun to get to know Jennifer & Raymond as we toured their local stomping ground and we can’t wait to explore Puerto Rico together in July for their wedding at the W Hotel on Vieques Island!
We are so, SO excited to share photos from our first official weekend as New England wedding photographers! We crammed the weekend full with a wedding and two engagement sessions so we have lots of pictures to share. All of our couples have been waiting for weeks to see this sneak peek, so let’s get right to it.
First up, we have Soni & Bao who have been together for ages and were our very first Boston wedding booking. (Thanks guys!) Soni waited for Bao for four years while he served in the Marines, so there was an extra special sense of happiness & celebration that the wedding day had finally arrived. We were thrilled to have a ton of time after the ceremony to take some romantic portraits at the Boston Public Gardens before heading on to the party. The pure joy on Soni & Bao’s faces says it all…
Oh my, do we love this wedding! Our biggest hope for our clients is always that they will put together a wedding that is truly reflective of who they are and what makes them happy. Robin and Sean’s day was just that, 100%. Originally, they wanted to go to Yosemite and get married on a frozen lake, just the two of them (dreamy!). When their families put the kibosh on that idea, they decided instead to have a wonderfully intimate celebration in the back yard of some close friends. This day was a true labor of love. Robin made everything by hand (with some help from family members. Her dad made the napkins you see below!), including the ceremony and reception back drops, the invitations, and even quilts for all the guests to take home as gifts! Best wedding favor EVER!
Robin and Sean, it was such a complete delight to be part of your wedding day! We’re glad you didn’t elope after all!
