It was a busy Saturday in Boston’s Public Garden — wedding parties queued up for shots by the weeping willows (two couples actually tied the knot there), families and tourists took rides on the famous Swan Boats, and I got to meet Lisa and Tim whose wedding I’m photographing this December at the State Room in Boston.  We found some great photo locations in the Public Gardens and then walked over to Beacon Hill and historic Acorn ST.  It was a great afternoon — hard to believe I get to call it “work.”

Finding a free spot in wedding-central Boston Public Gardens was hard, but we managed to work this little corner of shade.  More images to come!

It’s a lie to call this an “engagement” session.  Joan and Jay are getting married this Saturday, and they’ve been engaged for a while now.  We almost had this session at the beginning of the summer when they had flown in from their home in Seattle,  but they both chickened out  were  jetlagged.  I am so glad they decided to give it a go because this photo shoot was a blast.  Originally I’d planned on shooting at Fort Williams, but after talking with Joan we decided to go for something a bit more edgy.  Into the Old Port we headed.  Yeah, I know, it’s not really an urban jungle, but we worked with what we had.  I am thrilled with the results.  Thanks for pushing me to think outside my usual comfort zone, Joan and Jay.  You two really rocked it and fearlessly tackled some very public locations.  Can’t wait for Saturday!  Don’t forget to practice smiling with your eyes!
