Such a classy and elegant couple! Tricia’s dress is such an excellent choice, love the pop of color!

This moment is one of my favs!

We walked by a lobster shack and had to get these in!

Tricia specifically requested a brick photo. A fabulous brick photo you shall get!

We got shooed away by a security guard while attempting the photo on the right (there were no clear signs!), but after I told him they were engaged he let us get a couple shots in!

I love it when you guys get so cute with each other! It will be a while before we meet again but I know your wedding will be a blast!

Thank you Kendra of Summer Street Photography for assisting!

Yaya and I met first week of school at Harvard freshman year, and somewhere down the line I saw her starting to hang out with this super-cute junior year boy… it wasn’t long before they started dating. So of course we had to start the session on Harvard grounds

This couple is so gorgeous it should be a crime. They’re both currently in law school in Philly and traveled all the way up here to do this session and also came to my birthday! They are so dependable and loyal friends and truly follow their hearts’ callings. If I ever get in trouble one of these days I know who to call!

When we were first planning the session I think somewhere in there we decided that we just wanted something really, really different. Eveleen, our dear sister and friend, let us in on one of her favorite beaches up on the north shore and off we went! We fought a little bit of traffic to get there, but it was SOOOOO worth it. This one just POPS! I think even I want to make a canvas out of this one

Or maybe this one… my faaaav!!!!

Gosh those blue skies…

I also like making people run

This was such a fun idea and perfect for the beach – a kite!

Some individual shots. By the way, Ben got his hair cut at Hair Adventure – the same place where I have my current modern short bob. I highly recommend that place!

Of course, nothing quite like ending a beach session with a jumping shot!

Our awesome friend Eveleen was our location scout, driver, and overall awesome assistant. She took these behind the scenes photos. Sorry for the bad quality, I swiped them off of Facebook

Sigh, I miss my awesome friends so much. Hope to see you guys at some point in the next year!

(the tree in question is the one on the right)

Joanna and Ryan met at Children’s Hospital. It’s always really great to be able to capture couples in places that are very significant for them

This book is too cute

Seeing these roots make me dream of sipping strawberry lemonade on a lazy summer afternoon while barefoot

The garden truly is a hidden treasure of gorgeous flowers (on the left)

Joanna’s mother kindly drove us to the Brighton / Brookline area where Ryan used to live and Joanna and Ryan had gone on some dates

I have to make a declaration here that I am head . over . heels . in love with her amazing orange shoes

This couple does not take a bad picture!

This last photo is of a green line D train running in the back. Sometimes they would sit on the train together on the way home and Ryan would often get off first, which would make Joanna sad – this is before they started datingThank you guys for being so inspiring, from the story of how you met and began dating, to where you are today! I’m bummed I’ll be missing out on your wedding, but I know it will be absolutely awesome!

They will be married next month at the MIT Chapel with a reception at Hei La Moon in Boston’s Chinatown. Apparently Karen has a couple of frisbee tournaments and practices before her wedding… definitely take care of yourself and don’t get injured!

They’re silly. Having become really good friends with these two over the last year or so, I am not surprised =)

And sweet and cuddly too!

Nooommm cupcakes from Sweet! They got me a red velvet one – my favorite flavor

Don’t try this too much, you might get run over by a car

Hahaha, a couple of people have asked what they were doing here… to be honest I just told them to do whatever the arches inspired them to do. Random note, we thought this was perfect for Bryan because he looves fast food like McDonalds

A photoshoot for this couple would not be complete without including frisbee. They both play ultimate. Smite is the name of the MIT frisbee team, the shirts are too cute!

I think part of the reason why I really adore this session is how they incorporated multiple aspects of their personalities and squeezed in 2 outfit changes on top of that! Thanks Karen and Bryan for taking it all the way, I can’t wait to come back for your wedding!

A lot of people ask me on wardrobe opinions prior to the shoot, I love helping other people style! Did you know that I have provided input on maybe 75% of the sessions I work on? So if you guys ever have questions on what to wear, just ask!

This photo just oozes pure happiness. Ah I get so happy looking at them two!

This was the sneak peek. I love how they snuggle in the next two photos!

Getting the ring to stay on this fern was a team effort – thanks Scott!

I had to add this goofy one in here – Scott is an electrical engineer and apparently, in most of his college photos he poses with thumbs up. And we both like PCs (am I the only wedding photographer who still uses a PC…?)

A quick outfit change and off to Fenway Park! Laura and Scott both are big baseball fans. In fact, right after their engagement they went to see a Red Sox game!

Scott clearly is rooting for the wrong team. That’s okay, I’ll let it slide for now

Thanks so much for all the laughter and “awww”s you got out of me! I’ll see you guys real soon (can’t wait to start on that guestbook of yours!)

To reflect their classic tastes, we began the shoot at Boston’s Beacon Hill

Hellooo shoes! Can you guess who chose these shoes?

Bill did! What a man! Just the right touch of yellow to go with the dress

The next two are some of my favorites from the session. I love how all the colors pop!

They seriously bring sunshine into my life, they’re people you can really trust with what is on your mind

We then moved to the Esplanade to catch the golden sun. The bouquet of flowers are stargazer lilies – one of my favorite flowers. Future admirers please take note ;)

Kimberly works for the one and only Patriots. This totally was supposed to be a goofy picture. When Kimberly put it up as a preview on Facebook, I loved the comment her brother made: “it’s like Belichick is congratulating you.”

We’re debating between this and the walking photo above for the guestbook cover. What do you guys think?

More gorgeousness…

Bill proposed to Kimberly on a bench at the Esplanade. We couldn’t quite recall which one it was, but this one sure has a great backdrop

We then drove to East Boston to end the session with some dramatic sky lines

Did you guys like Kimberly’s look? Her makeup was done by a Shang Chen Photography preferred vendor, Danielle Ross! Thank you Danielle Ross for making my ladies even more breathtaking than they already are!

And thank you Nithya for helping out – I’m going to miss you so much!

We began the session at Kirkland / Eliot houses in Harvard – Karina and Bryan lived there in their undergrad years

Since when did hammocks get set up in the courtyard? so cool!

Bryan gives some of the best hugs in the world, and I really like how he’s able to bring about the sweetest smile from Karina

Did I mention these two have really beautiful hearts? I’ve seen them volunteer and help out at many events in my college years with them

Love playing with the sun in this one!

We made our way to the Boston Public Garden for some golden pictures towards the end of the day

Spring is in the air!

Thank you Nithya for helping out!

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding down in New Jersey! Not only do they have one of the most popular wedding dates of 2010, I’m also excited to be seeing many of my college friends again!

We chose the MIT campus in Cambridge, MA as our location on a very cold winter weekend because it is the alma mater of Naimish.

Rebecca is currently in her residency in internal medicine, I thought the red stethoscope was a really cute touch

Portraits like these are so endearing because the couple here is so natural in a candid moment. I typically have them sit together and maybe I’ll say something funny, but it’s mostly unprompted. Actually, I probably wasn’t funny, but I like it when my clients laugh!

Can you tell I’m obsessed with the entrance lobby in building 7? I used to spend some childhood time here because my father used to be a professor in building 5 and this is where I entered to visit him

Sending secret messages with matching iPhones? This was Rebecca’s idea

Playing with light

Thank you to Mandy for assisting!

We began by the esplanade

This one is totally unplanned, Diane happened to be skipping as I snapped this. This picture makes me smile every time

Um, these balloons are just awesome. Period.

We caught the tail end of the autumn colors. I looove my 85mm lens (I’m thinking of trying out the 100mm next)

David and Diane were always more than happy to oblige with some of my wacky ideas.. although I wish the balloons would float a little higher =)

This canopy of golden leaves was delicious

Yummy leaves! To get this photo I lay down on the ground while the leaves fell on me

This was their idea. So cute!

Another silly one…

A sun flare in the middle of the day

Congrats you two! Thanks for such a fun afternoon and I’ll see you soon!
