What happens when you have thunderstorming clouds, hail, and crazy rain? You get Diana and Greg’s engagement session! This daring couple drove me out to this really cool rock climbing area out in Quincy (a former quarry) and just as we started getting set up the rain started. We ran back to the car to try to figure out our game plan when lo and behold, 10 minutes later, the rain cleared up and gave up really dramatic skies to complete the engagement photos. I guess the old adage about “if you don’t like the weather in New England, wait 5 minutes” is true!
Diana and Greg share a passion for rock climbing, so it would only be fitting that we chose this setting for their session. I thinking having clients be part of the creative brainstorming of any session is KEY – given that this session is for you, it’s important for me to incorporate your vision while providing my own professional guidance! Also, major major props to Diana for trooping it out in her flats on such soggy grounds while I was shootin’ in rainboots.
This is the sneak peek I showed on my Facebook page (do you Like it yet? It’ll be cool if you do!) This photo might look easy, but they had to climb up there!
Also, geeky note, I like how Diana’s shirt matches the patch of blue sky on the left and Greg’s shirt matches the tree on the right
Diana and Greg are both really smart (Diana is a Ph.D. student at MIT right now in Operations Research) and they brought two good books for the session to really personlize it
Tying the knot later this year and I’m going to be their wedding photographer! hahaha I crack myself up!
The graffiti on the rock walls were really, really cool
They climbed even higher for even more dramatic sky!
Reeds! When I saw these I told Diana that it’d been a goal of mine for a WHILE to get photos in tall reeds. I think they’re the most romantic things ever
Thank you guys SO MUCH for being such troopers, I hope it was worth it!
Also, I designed an engagement guestbook for these two and when it arrives I can’t wait to show it to you all!
