This engagement session is going up early/out of order because Bena and Ruoshi are getting married this weekend! I really look forward to shooting their wedding at the MIT Chapel – one gorgeous piece of architecture (and also where a September client of mine will be married as well – you know who you are!) Though Bena and Ruoshi both hail from Hong Kong, I wanted to make sure that they understood that I did not have the style of typical wedding photography studios based in Asia – which mainly do these elaborate, styled, day-long pre-wedding bridal shoots where the couple are very much posed and photoshopped, and do not actually take photos during the real wedding day. I’m totally not bashing that style at all, I think it’s something that’s really fun and glamorous, but isn’t me =) Bena and Ruoshi were all for what I had in mind, so we opted for the beautiful sun-drenched yards of Harvard University, the Charles River, and Harvard Square for some natural portraits that really captured who they were as a couple!
This one is probably my favorite!
Bena and Ruoshi have this respect for each other that I think runs deep. They are young, but they are very wise!
And they’re also playful at the same time!
When asked what made them work well as a couple, they emphasized simplicity, compatibility, and similar faiths and cultural backgrounds
We also had some portraits by the Charles river, which was where Ruoshi proposed
You guys are just so wonderful and laid-back, I’ll see you very soon!
Thank you Kendra for helping out!
