Melissa and Dana, Engaged! | Boston engagement photographer

Shang — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 11:00:15 +0000

Blogging my sessions from spring a little out of order, because Melissa and Dana are getting married this Sunday! We were able to meet at MIT and get some wonderful photos on a super sunny (though cold) last day of winter. Melissa is Bill’s sister, and their family has been nothing but extremely supportive and positive of my work over the last two years, they always make me smile! I had dinner with Melissa and Dana after our session, and one thing they mentioned really touched me – they both remarked at how amazed they are that their friends and family are coming in from all over to attend their wedding. They feel as if they should be the ones giving to their guests. That is just the tip of the iceberg of this generous couple and their giving hearts. What an honor to be their photographer for their upcoming nuptials, I simply cannot wait!

Loving the soft colors that this spring sun brings out!

They are styling! Navy blue is Melisssa’s favorite color and they both have blue eyes. Makes sense to me!

The Boston skyline – another reason why I love this town

I knew of this spot for a while now and have always wanted to take photos here. Thank you guys for being the first!

Rebecca and Naimish, Engaged! | Boston Engagement Photographer

One thing that I really like about the relationship between Rebecca and Naimish is how at ease they are with each other, and how playful they are. These two people are so smart and made their engagement photos so fun and creative, I cannot wait to be there for their combination American and Indian wedding later this year!

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!
