Elena and Alex, Engaged! | Boston Engagement Photographer

Elena and I spent quite some time planning this engagement photo session, and I’m so excited to present it. This shoot was a long time in coming since I was booked out and couldn’t make their fabulous engagement party. I’ve added a bunch of extra photos because I had so much fun!

One of the first things I learned about Elena and Alex is that they love to travel! They decided to bring suitcases for the shoot, and lugged them around all afternoon. I was impressed. We also stuffed some other outfits and props into these suitcases, which you will see later on

And did I mention I nearly got hit by a bus? It’s because I was standing in the middle of the street for some of them! Here is a behind-the-scenes photo from my assistant for the day, Maria. Thanks so much for helping out!
