Romantic, Modern Engagement Photography | Boston, MA | Shauna and Ciaran

Shauna, Ciaran and I met up at the Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill in Boston for their engagement shoot this past weekend. They brought along their two year old daughter, Eve, who is so adorable. Can you believe that Shauna said that her and Ciaran weren't photogenic??

Here's the story of how they met and their engagement in Shauna's words:  

Both coming from Ireland and our hometown about 300 miles apart, Ciaran and I met through some mutual friends in 2003 at a BBQ, we eventually got together in the summer of 2007 when at last we were both mutually single for the first time. Our friends said it was inevitable and no one was surprised when we got together (actually I do believe there were a few bets placed that summer on the fact that we eventually would!). Eve came along in December 2009, combining the best of both of us, she reminded us how right we are for each other. In October 2011 Eve and Ciaran arrived home one evening, I heard some mumbling and then Eve shout "NO!" and throw something on the floor (in true Eve style). I went into check what was going on. Eve picked up the bag and handed it to me. There was a handwritten message attached from Ciaran and on the bag it read "Mammy, will you marry Daddy?" Helping me open the box, Eve insisted on wearing  "Mama's Pretty" on her thumb. We celebrated with our friends at an Irish Festival that weekend.

I'm so looking forward to celebrating with Shauna and Ciaran in September!

Boston Engagement Photographer | Boston Public Library | Jody and Jay

I met up with Jody and Jay at the Boston Public Library last week on a rainy morning for their engagement shoot.  We had a lot of fun exploring the library together and then ventured out into the elements for a few exterior shots.  I love these images and can't wait for the wedding at the Hampshire House in February!

Boston Engagement Photographer | Boston Public Garden / Beacon Hill | Jim and Sonya

After rescheduling their engagement shoot twice due to rain, Jim, Sonya and I met up at the Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill a few weeks back. The forecast didn't look good but we decided to go for it and hope for the best. The weather wound up not cooperating, but we toughed it out and got some great shots! We even found an umbrella to match Sonya's dress! Here are a few of my favorites!

New Jersey Engagement Photographer | Lindsay & Nick

I met up with Lindsay and Nick in Lindsay's home town of Vernon, New Jersey. Lindsay said she was a country girl, and she meant it.  We found some great locations just down the road from her parent's house, including a local farm complete with a red barn!  These two are so cute together and I can't wait for their wedding next June!

New York City Engagement Photographer | Tammy & Val

I met up with Tammy & Val (and their two adorable dogs) this weekend in the Meatpacking District in New York City for their engagement shoot.  We had a great time walking around the neighborhood, despite the heat, and the dogs even cooperated for a few fun shots with the couple!  I can't wait for their wedding in September!
