I’m so happy to be posting my best of engagement shoots for 2009. It was only mid-2009 that I began including engagement shoots as a part of my wedding package, but I’ll never go back! I have found that brides and grooms who take advantage of engagement shoots feel more at ease being photographed on their wedding day. They know how I work and we both get to know each other’s personalities more. It’s like a dress rehearsal!
Oh fall, how I love you. I know, I know it’s not technically fall yet, but the weather we have been having lately feels like it! I’m not sure why, but I get most motivated during the fall. Maybe it’s imbedded in me from my days of school – fresh start, new notebooks and pens, new school clothes. I just feel so happy! This fall is going to bring so many wonderful things. I have more bookings than ever (even tackling two weddings a weekend). It’s exciting and it feels like a fresh new start.
Yesterday was a perfect day for a photoshoot. I met up with David and Laura in City Hall Park for their engagement session. All day I had my eye on the sky, hoping it would stay as gorgeous as it was in the morning. It did! It was a beautiful shade of blue with ‘Simpsons’ clouds. The shoot was such a great time! While I’ve taken many photographs in the Seaport area, I have never done a proper shoot there. David and Laura were so outgoing and they had great ideas! It’s so nice as a photographer to work with a couple who are excited about their photos and willing to take risks and play around a bit.
I’m so excited to share these photographs and, stay tuned, there will be lots and lots and lots of blogging going on this month and next.
David spotted this door and ‘had to have it’. I think the ‘beer by door’ series are my favorite shots from the day. It’s so nice to be able to capture a couple just being themselves, interacting and having a good time!
Just as the sun was starting to set, we made it to our target destination – the fountain in City Hall Park, where David proposed to Laura.
Thanks Laura and David for an awesome shoot (and thanks to Vanessa for being a huge help!).
