Yup, all we did was hang out, laugh, had a ton of fun and, oh yeah, we took some pictures too!
Hopedale, MA – Matt and Lisa are going to be married on May 28th, 2011 and for their engagement session, they decided to meet us at Hopedale Pond. Can’t begin to describe how much fun we had; we pretty much laughed for like at hour and a half. And that’s what this is all about, having fun taking portraits and getting to know each other. Our whole philosophy behind offering a complimentary engagement session with our wedding collections is so our clients can experience being photographed by us before their wedding day. We feel that if we show up cold on the big day that it’s like re-introducing ourselves, as opposed to walking in and saying “hey” like we’ve been friends for years. That’s our take on it anyway, and it’s been working so we’re not changing.
We’re looking forward to Matt and Lisa’s wedding at the end of the month and stay tuned for their sneak peek, here on the blog!
Mid-Winter Boston Common Engagement Session
Boston, MA – So our whole plan was to go skating at the frog pond to capture some candid moments and have Mark and Mandy all warmed up for some portraits. Well, what we didn’t anticipate was that it was one of the coldest days in January and a 45 minute wait just to get on the ice… YIKES! So, as you can imagine, without a proper warm up in single degree weather our super couple was a bit cold for the shoot, but they braved through it and we ended up getting some great stuff. Just looking at the images you wouldn’t think it was well below freezing out. Even though we didn’t get a whole engagement session in that day, we all had fun and certainly had something to laugh about in the future. And of course, Mark got to wear his Boston Bruins sweater for some pictures, which made his day!
Engagement sessions are such a good bonding experience between a couple and their photographers. We had already had the opportunity to get to know Mark and Mandy a bit from photographing a wedding in October where they were both in the wedding party; but it was great to have the 2 on 2 time build that relationship up a bit. Because although we are in the business of photography, we’re also in the business of making people smile and that’s key to our photography. And for us, watching young people in love, laughing, braving the elements for the sake of pictures is really inspiring to us.
Fall in Love with this Engagement Session … we sure did!
Bolton, MA - The colorful New England Fall, there isn’t a more beautiful place for an engagement session. Jen + Pat will be married next Spring but we had the opportunity to spend a few hours with them at Nashoba Valley Winery in Bolton, MA. These images are testament to the reasoning behind our engagement sessions, which is to break the ice of being photographed and to have fun at the same time.
These two originally had no interest in engagement portraits, but after going into detail about the process, they were soon on board and chose this fantastic location. And at first, they were admittedly nervous which is usually the case. The trick for any couple being photographed for their engagements is to pretend that they are the only two people in the universe at that particular time. I know it’s not that easy with a camera pointed at them, but if they can escape by looking into each others eyes, it is in effect a real moment and it will definitely prove so in the photos.
Jen + Pat make an incredibly cute couple and it was so great to get to know them. In the end, this session is going to set the cornerstones of their wedding photography. And as of right now it’s our first wedding of 2011, so we are so looking forward to it.
Congratulations to Jen + Pat!
