Engagement session-Fenway Park and Boston Public Gardens
My associate photographer Chet photographed Caitlin and Michael’s engagement session in early January. They picked a reasonably nice day (sunny, but cold, this is New England!) and headed down to Fenway Park for some portraits around Red Sox nation followed by some additional photographs by the Swan Pond at the Boston Public Garden. A popular spot for engagement photo sessions, this was our first winter session there. We’ve been there for every season now. Speaking of seasons, these avid Red Sox fans couldn’t wait for the start of the season as they alluded to in one of their photos, take a look:

Stephanie & Rob’s Wedding at the Boston Park Plaza
I had the high honor of being the photographer for Stephanie & Rob’s Boston Park Plaza wedding July 11, 2009. Stephanie is featured in the video on my website describing my services and I used one of her photographs for my ad on The Knot because it’s so classic looking and every bride that sees it has said they want a photo like it!
I’ve photographed Rob and Stephanie’s engagement session at the Arnold Arboretum last Fall and we included their beloved pug Leelin in the photos. He wasn’t allowed in the wedding reception facility though, so he had to stay home for the wedding. Rob proposed to Stephanie at an Earth, Wind & Fire concert and Stephanie walked down the aisle to one of their songs. Konditor Meister did their cake with carved white chocolate roses to go with her ivory rose theme. Their band, Milo Z, brought the party to the plaza!
Amy and Mike’s engagement session at the Boston Public Gardens
I photographed Amy and Mike’s engagement photos at the Boston Public Gardens May 2, 2009. I had only just begun the session when I noticed a family with a little girl who, by her appearance, looked like she may have been in treatment for cancer. The father watched us and upon realizing I was a professional photographer, approached and asked if I could take a photo of his daughter with the beautiful light in the park. They had flown in from Chicago in a rush against time for surgery in a Boston hospital for their daughter, who I’ll call “Hannah from Chicago.” He explained that she was supposed to be in remission until a recent appointment when another tumor was found in her brain. He was very apologetic for interrupting, but I think Amy, Mike and myself were moved by the request. I was more than happy to oblige, and Amy and Mike didn’t mind giving up some time on a beautiful sunny day. Amy works in a medical profession, so she knew what was at stake.
I followed up with Hannah’s father Neal a few days later, and here was his reply from his blackberry, still at the hospital: “I am replying from hospital. Surgery successful. Tumor (re-occurance) completely removed per this afternoon’s MRI! We are so relieved. Thank you with you kindness regarding the photos. We felt bad interrupting your job, but were simultaneously chilled by the possibility that she might not be able to walk or smile if the surgery failed.”
I was glad Neal was brave enough to approach me. To me, this is a reminder of why photographs are so important. You never know when life will hang in the balance and it’s important to capture the good times. It was a good day, and I was grateful to be a part of it. Interesting how timing came together to make it all happen. Here’s a photo of Hannah, along with photos of Amy and Mike:
Melissa & Adam’s Engagement Session at the Boston Public Garden
I met up with Melissa and Adam at the Boston Public Garden May 17, 2009 to photograph their engagement session. We had a memorable, funny moment–no sooner had I warned them to watch their belongings when an old man came up and started taking their nice leather jackets. He was busted and decided better of it! Added to the excitement of the day, that’s for sure. Their wedding reception was July 31st at Promises to Keep in Derry, NH. Still working on the photos from the wedding. Here’s a few from the engagement in the meantime:
Marisa and Paul’s Engagement Session
I had some nice light to work with during a photo shoot for Marisa and Paul at the Boston Public Garden August 17. Being a Sunday, and a rare afternoon without thunderstorms, we had our work cut out for us trying to find people-free scenes–Bostonians were taking advantage of the nice day, as was another [...]
