Man o man was this a fun evening! We met Marie and Mike at their home in Southie to begin the engagement session. She bounded down the stairs in a cobalt blue dress and I already knew I liked her. The energy between the two of them is easy to work with. One thing I really loved about Mike was a little subtle but I highly appreciated it. Like most men we work with, he really wasn’t SUPER excited about “frolicking” around town and being photographed. It’s one of those things that we totally get and work hard to make easier for them. While Mike was not super stoked about it, he was all in for Marie the whole time. There wasn’t a moment of grumpiness or aggravation, just him trusting us and doing this out of true love for Marie. I swear it made me love him too. Ha!

We just walked around on a lovely street near their home and then made our way to a local park that we have actually been dying to photograph in. It has a super sweet monument and a ridiculously good view of the city. After that, we made our way to the Seaport and took in yet another of my favorite Boston views. One of my favorite moments was when I asked them to dance. Instead of your typical middle school style rock-back-and-forth move, they started breaking it down like it was a party. I died laughing and now expect all our couples to bust moves similar to that. Ok? Thanks.

Meredith is one of my friends from Boston and when her boyfriend proposed I waited with baited breath for her to ask me for some photos. YES YES YES!!! It’s funny that when you are in a bible study/book study with someone for less that 12 weeks, you really can become close. I feel like Meredith knows more about me than most of the people I have known all of my life. I likewise know a ton about this spunky smart woman and it just made the session and the engagement that much more meaningful to me! When we moved from Boston, leaving that group of women tore me up (like I cried for almost the whole last meeting). I LOVE YOU MEREDITH! We actually covered a lot of ground for this session, starting at the Boston Public Library and then walking over to the Boston Public Garden. At the end of the night we lucked out with a ridiculous sunset on the Mass Ave bridge. THEN to top it all off, we put the cameras away for the night and walked to the South End and ate at one of my top favorite Boston pizza places. I mean… what could be better? These two are getting hitched in Kentucky next year and we could not be more happy for them.
