Boston Wedding Photography: Erin & Pat, Atlantica, Cohasset

Erin and Patrick had been a very sweet couple since the day I met them. I still remember our first meeting where we chatted about our days and some of the wedding details that they had planned. I also remember their engagement session at the Arnold Arboretum where we had so much fun that we almost lost track of time and wandered in the seemingly endless park/forest. Man, we had some great times together and I can not believe it has been half a year since then. I feel such a great honor to be a part of their lives and document their love on their wedding day. This whole journey and seeing how awesome the images have turned out (all because of how beautiful Erin is) is the fuel that keeps my fire sparked in wedding photography.

The wedding, both ceremony and reception, was held at the Atlantica Restaurant in Cohasset. Erin had her hair and makeup done off-site at Hernan Salon, which is a very short distance from the venue. The whole bridal party was so awesome and fun to work with.

Boston Cambridge Wedding Photography: Mark & Rebecca

Just a couple weeks ago, I photographed Mark and Rebecca’s engagement session at MIT, Cambridge. We had loads of fun. It was so amazing that their wedding was only a week ago and they went to Las Vegas and California for their honeymoon. And now they’re back in Boston… hollaaa… these beautiful wedding photos are up here on the blog. Life is good… well, at least for Mark and Rebecca :)

The day started off with Rebecca getting ready at their place in Cambridge. It was an intimate wedding of about 15 guests.

Nora & Chris Wedding Reception at Catalyst, Cambridge

This past weekend I had the honor of photographing Nora and Chris’ wedding reception at Catalyst in Cambridge. The centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous. They had their destination ceremony in Bermuda, which was breathtaking. It was amazing that they took the time to celebrate their love with their Boston family and friends.

Gay Engagement Session: Pat+Roger // Boston Wedding Photographer

This past weekend I photographed Patrick and Roger’s same-sex engagement session at the Seaport District in Boston – a very special spot to them. They had their very first date there. I absolutely adore this place. Another reason why I love getting to know my couples is I get to know where their first date was and what they did, so when I need inspirations or my friends ask for suggestions, I can throw around some ideas :)

Enough about me, lets talk about Pat and Roger. They met online and coincidentally, they worked really close to each other at the time so they always got together during lunch break, which I think it’s super cute. They’ve been together for almost four years and I can’t be happier that they finally got engaged and are tying the knot this weekend. Yay for another legally (almost) married gay couple! Their whole engagement session lasted less than an hour but we had so much fun.

Fun fact: this staircase right here, is where Pat and Roger say goodbye to each other everyday after their lunch break since they used to work very close to each other.Boston gay wedding photographer same-sex engagement session at Seaport DistrictBoston gay wedding photographer same-sex engagement session at Seaport DistrictThis is actually a very nice place to hang out.Boston gay wedding photographer same-sex engagement session at Seaport DistrictAnother fun fact: this bench holds a very special place in their hearts.

On Discovering New Places

What’s up elegant people? I feel like I need to make the habit of updating you guys more about my personal life and co-op. Everything has been fabulous, co-op just gets better and better. Since my wedding season started a couple weeks ago, I’ve been focusing more on my business; but that doesn’t mean my co-op isn’t getting any love from me. To date, I have shot two cover photos for Panorama magazine, woohoo! Awesome right? I’m really glad that we’re having two additional photo interns so that I can spend even more time on my business, but regardless, I always love getting food and portrait assignments. Today, I visited Park Restaurant in Harvard Square, Cambridge. It was a very cute boutique restaurant that’s going to be featured on our Posh Nosh column. Another reason why I love my co-op is the endless possibilities of discovering new places and meeting new people. Despite the fact that I’ve been living in Boston for about 10 years, there are just too many things I haven’t experienced locally.

Park Restaurant and Bar in Harvard Square Cambridge

See the drawings on the black board in the left picture? Can you believe it’s hand drawn? I literally saw the waitress who worked there draw it as I took the picture. The plate on the right is called Tasting of Toasts. Definitely need to give this a try next time I’m in Harvard Square.

Christina+Dave Harvard Square Engagement Session Featured on Beantown Bride

To me personally, having my work published not only means I’m recognized for the hard work I’ve done and my talent, but also, and more importantly, that I’m proud of YOU for being yourself in front of my camera and looking so darn fabulous. In fact, I believe every person is uniquely beautiful and I strive to bring the best out of you.

A couple weeks ago I shot Christina and Dave’s engagement session at Harvard Square and we had so much fun that by the end of the session, we didn’t even realize how quickly time flew. I knew I had to have them featured somewhere. I feel so incredible privileged to be featured on wedding blog Beantown Bride. Thanks Brittany, editor of Beantown Bride, for this amazing article. Check it out here.
