BEACON HILL ENGAGEMENT SESSION | BRIGITTE & CHRIS

Brigitte and Chris got in touch with me last year to inquire about shooting their wedding in Cape Cod this Fall, and to talk about the possibility of an engagement session in Beacon Hill and other parts of Boston.  I normally get the chance to sit down and chat with the couples I work with before we get the cameras out and start shooting, but this was made a little tricky by the fact that Brigitte and Chris live and work in Switzerland.  This meant that the first time I got to meet them both was for their engagement session when they were visiting Boston last September for a family wedding.

I had spoken with them both over the phone and via Skype, so we had the chance to discuss their wedding day and engagement session beforehand, and I was really looking forward to meeting them both in person in Boston on their trip.

We started shooting near Beacon Hill, which is a location I really enjoy using as a setting for engagement sessions. The streets aren’t too busy and they form the perfect backdrop, with little alleys and the details in the houses and street furniture adding subtle points of interest to the engagement photos. There is a great mix of colors as well and using these where possible gives the photos a nice pop.

We headed to Acorn Street to capture some more engagement photos there too. A Beacon Hill engagement session isn’t really complete without adding in the landmark Acorn Street with its cobbled surface. Again, the old houses and backdrop really add a nice romantic feel to the whole shoot. Brigitte and Chris would have looked great wherever we had shot though, and it was easy to see from the start what a great connection they had.

We continued moving through Beacon Hill, stopping at a few more locations to get some extra images before we headed into the center of town for some additional shots.  It was hard to stop photographing these two as we walked through Beacon Hill, as everywhere I looked I saw the chance of getting another set of photos.  Brigitte and Chris looked stunning, and I couldn’t have asked for more!

We headed into town and to the State Room in Boston to get some more shots. Brigitte and Chris are getting married at the Wychmere Beach Club on Cape Cod which is run by Longwood Events.  Longwood Events also run the State Room, so Brigitte and Chris got the OK to shoot some images there as well.  What a wonderful venue, and what a view of the city you get from up there!  It was my first time shooting in the State Room, and the unique setting gave us the chance to get another completely different set of images for Brigitte and Chris’ Boston engagement shoot.

Combining the wonderful interior with the great views and the famous clock tower was the icing on the cake. On the way back to the car park we even managed to get one final reflection shot in the building lobby too! It was great fun shooting with you both, and I really cannot wait to catch up with you in September.

Boston wedding photography | A look back at 2012

Happy New Year! I’d like to start this year off by looking back at some of the great weddings I was privileged to have photographed here in Boston and further afield last year.

I photographed weddings all through New England, from wedding photos in Boston in the heart of the city, to farms in New Hampshire and coastal weddings down in Rhode Island. Each one was unique and just as much fun as the last. It was a true pleasure to have been part of so many happy days last year and I’m looking forward to what the next year will bring.

These are just a small sample of some of my favorite wedding images from 2012 and I’ll be posting a few more in part 2 (and maybe 3) very soon.

Thank you so much again to all those couples that I had the chance to work with in 2012 and for those that I have already given me the green light to capture in 2013. I really looking forward to another great here photographing weddings in New England, from The Cape up into Maine.

If you would like to get in touch about discussing coverage options for your wedding in 2013 then please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I only have so many weekends in the year as I photograph every New England wedding that I book and the weekends fill up quick. Drop me a message from the contact page and we can get going to plan out the perfect coverage for you and your big day.

All the best for 2013, I hope that you are all looking forward to it as much as me.

OCEANCLIFF WEDDING PHOTOS | RACHEL AND EVAN

As promised, I’m back on track with blogging and catching up on all the great New England weddings I was privileged to be a part of this past summer and fall. One of these was Rachel and Evan’s wedding, at the stunning Oceancliff Resort in Newport, Rhode Island. I photographed their Beacon Hill engagement session last year and was really excited to shoot their wedding day.

OCEANCLIFF WEDDING PHOTOS
OCEANCLIFF WEDDING PHOTOS | RACHEL AND EVAN

Oceancliff is a wonderful venue situated right on the waterfront in Rhode Island and it was the first time I was shooting here. Although living in DC now, New England is still home for Rachel and Evan and that helped in their choice to have the wedding here. I started as I normally do with the girls, capturing them getting ready and the fun they were having. Rachel was getting ready in the Gate House, a wonderful house separate from the main build on the grounds near the entrance. This old house provided a really great backdrop and had some really nice features to incorporate into their Oceancliff wedding photos.

Rachel and her bridesmaids were adding the final touches to the table place cards and getting there hair and make up done, so we had lots to cover over in the Gate House. Rachel looked stunning in her beautiful wedding gown and with the morning having flown past, it was nearly time to head over for the first look with Evan in the courtyard of Oceancliff.

Evan was staying in the main building of Oceancliff, so it meant that I could easily switch between him and Rachel to make sure that we got some shots of him and the guys getting ready.  We got these shots before their first look downstairs.

It was really nice shooting their first look, and as ever, I try and stay out of the way and let them have their time together during this very special moment. The courtyard at Oceancliff couldn’t have been any better a setting for this.

OCEANCLIFF WEDDING
OCEANCLIFF WEDDING PHOTOS | RACHEL AND EVAN

As with all Jewish wedding ceremonies, the couple signed the Ketubah, or marriage contract, before going out to the lawn at the back of Oceancliff for the wedding under the Chuppah. The Ketubah is a beautiful document and the signing is a very nice part of the day, shared with Rachel and Evan’s closest friends and family.

The evening sunset falling over the ceremony was beautiful and the setting was perfect, with the early fall providing just the right temperature outside for the ceremony. With the sea as a backdrop I don’t think you could really have asked for more.

As the sun started to go down, we made the most of this wonderful quality of light to capture shots of Rachel and Evan together. With the sea and lights across the estuary as a backdrop as well as the sky as it exploded with color, we got some great wedding day shots here.

It wasn’t long before the festivities moved to the party phase, and boy can this gang dance! After the meal and the moving speeches were given, these guys didn’t hang around long before the dance floor was packed out and jumping! And it stayed this way for most of the night.

I did manage to convince Rachel and Evan to leave the hopping dance floor for a few minutes just to grab another couple of shots  before I left them to party the rest of the night away at Oceancliff, with their fantastic group of friends and family. Thank you to you both for allowing me to shoot your New England wedding day and all of the celebrations.

BOSTON NORTH END ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | SARA AND BRIAN

I had been looking forward to shooting Sara and Brian’s North End engagement photos ever since she got in touch mid-way through the summer. I had photographed one engagement session in the North End before, but was looking forward to finding some new spots with these guys, and was happy to say we succeeded.

NORTH END ENGAGEMENT PICTURES BOSTON MA
NORTH END ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | SARA & BRIAN

Their North End engagement shoot had been postponed from mid October to mid November due to a bad weather weekend, but we ended up with such a nice weekend in November it all turned out OK in the end! Starting just down the road from Starbucks (always nice to kick start with some caffeine), we didn’t waste any time getting going, shooting in Christopher Columbus Park.

Moving through different parts of the North End in Boston, we were able to capture a variety of different scenes throughout the engagement shoot. I think we got a great overall feel for the North End from the session.

The North End provides countless engagement photo opportunities, as every turn down another road offers something new to incorporate and different light to work with. You also get the chance to use the city of Boston as a backdrop for a few shots. The cobbled section of the North End was definitely worth a stop off for some photos there.

NORTH END ENGAGEMENT PICTURES BY ROBERTO FARREN PHOTOGRAPHY

One of my favorite parts of the North End to shoot in is the Paul Revere Mall in between St Stephen’s Church and the Old North Church. The quality of light there on this day was fantastic and Sara and Brian were so fun to work with, I couldn’t have asked for more.

Moving from here we had a change of outfits, which was easily done as they live right in the North End. We then made the most of the great little streets that you find throughout the North End. These streets are packed with character and wonderful architecture and are the ideal backdrops for a North End engagement session.

NEW ENGLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER NORTH END BOSTON

Nothing says the North End more than a great big Italian flag! Incorporating that into the shots gave us a nice splash of background color and using just the white of the flag gave us some nice high key images as well.

We finished up back on the waterfront to get some photos there and on the way back to their place found another great little spot where we still had some color left in the trees. Thank you Sara and Brian for letting me capture your North End engagement pictures. I hope that you have fun looking back through them and all the best with your West Coast wedding next year.

BRITTANY AND CHRIS NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS

This may be one of the most varied engagement sessions I have shot, and man was it fun! If you like, old cars, balloons, countryside, old barns, chickens or airplanes then you may like what is coming next! Brittany and Chris’s New England engagement session was photographed in New Hampshire at the beginning of this month, just after hurricane Sandy postponed us a few days.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS NEW ENGLAND
NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BRITTANY & CHRIS

We started off photographing Brittany and Chris’ New England engagement session at Brittany’s sisters house. Brittany’s brother in law, Dana, is a mechanic and restores old classic cars as well, and so we were able to use some of these in the shoot. The classic old yellow Chevy still ran perfectly and after shooting with it around the house, Dana kindly drove it up to another location so that we could carry on shooting and add a little more variety into the shots. The old car fit perfectly into their New England engagement photos and it was really good fun working it into the session.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BRITTANY & CHRIS

After moving the car up into the hills, I wanted to show the New England scenery and place Brittany, Chris and the old Chevy all into it so it would fit nicely together. I also wanted to give them a good mix of black and white and color photos from their engagement session. The old car really lent itself to black and white, but I think with its yellow color, it would have been a shame not to have shown this off as well.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER BOSTON AND NEW ENGLAND
NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BRITTANY & CHRIS

It was an overcast day with the odd burst of sun and more common threat of rain, but it held off for most of the day. The light was actually really nice to work with and it turned out to be a classic New England day of weather, constantly changing every five minutes or so. This was the first time I had ventured up to New Hampshire for an engagement session and after having shot a lot of engagement photos in and around Boston, this was a nice mix to be able to add to the blog. I hope to shoot lots more New England engagement sessions in different parts of the region next year and this shoot definitely got me itching for more.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER NEW ENGLAND
NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BRITTANY & CHRIS

Having finished up shooting with the yellow Chevy in the hills,  we headed back to the house for a change of clothes and a different feel to the shoot. We still wanted to capture that classic New England feel and I think working the red barns into the shoot definitely did that.

NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT SESSION
NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BRITTANY & CHRIS

Brittany had picked up some balloons from her mum’s shop earlier that day and this gave us the chance to have an injection of color into their engagement session as well. We had had a little drop of rain and that helped punch the colors in the surrounding New England countryside, but the balloons gave it that little something extra and were a fun addition to the engagement pictures.

BOSTON AND NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BRITTANY & CHRIS

If you thought we were done, think again. Don’t forget we still have planes to come! Brittany’s family live close to each other in this  part of New England. She has an aunt and uncle just down the road, and that was our next port of call. They live in a wonderfully picturesque part of New Hampshire with stone walls surrounding their property, a pond and old barns and with a little bit of color left in the trees, this was all I needed for the next part of their engagement shoot.

ENGAGEMENT SESSION NEW ENGLAND
NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BRITTANY & CHRIS

We weren’t quite finished with the cars yet either. Dana had another old Chevy sitting in the drive and I wanted to incorporate that into their engagement shots as well. It was parked in a spot where the light was really nice and it created a great foreground for a series of shots for Brittany and Chris. Just at the back of the house was a wood pile that caught our attention as well. The pile of chopped wood made for a really interesting backdrop for a couple of shots and we couldn’t go without at least grabbing a couple.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ENGAGEMENT PICTURES
NEW ENGLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BRITTANY & CHRIS

On our way back to Brittany and Chris’ house, we stopped by the nursery that Brittany’s family own and took the chance to add a few more shots in a place that had been in the family for a few generations. This was a great little spot to add some extra photos to their New England engagement shoot.

I promised you planes, and planes you shall have! Chris works for the Federal Aviation Administration in Nashua, NH and is a qualified pilot, so we were allowed access to the runway for a few photos. This was the plane that Chris has actually flown before so it was great to be able to incorporate it into some of the shots as well. It was a super fun way to finish off the shoot and it was a first for me again. It was really good fun being able to add these plane shots into their engagement session and I think you’ll agree that they both looked the part!

LYMAN ESTATE WEDDING PHOTOS – MASSACHUSETTS

Rebecca and Justin celebrated their New England wedding day at Lyman Estate in Waltham earlier this year on a wonderful summer’s day. Lyman Estate in MA provides a beautiful backdrop to any wedding day, with wonderful grounds surrounding the historic house that dates back to 1793. These are some of their Lyman Estate wedding photos and their story.

WEDDING PHOTOS LYMAN ESTATE
LYMAN ESTATE WEDDING PICTURES

I was shooting alongside Nicole Chan, owner and lead photographer of Nicole Chan photography who had hired me to second shoot for her for the day. I started off with Justin and the groomsmen, as is often the case for the second photographer on the day. I photographed all the guys together while they were getting ready, and this time is always nice to build a rapport with them all. Justin and the groomsmen got ready at the Westin Hotel in Waltham, as were Rebecca and her bridesmaids. They were to have their “first look” at the Westin before heading over to the Lyman Estate for wedding photos there, before the ceremony.

The “first look” took place in the foyer of the Westin hotel and it was a great moment for the bride and groom, as well as the bridal party, who were able to watch from a distance and share this special moment with them.

Heading to Lyman Estate for wedding pictures before the ceremony meant that there was more time for Rebecca and Justin to spend time with friends and family for the day. The ceremony was at the First Parish Church in Waltham and this choice of location complemented the wonderful grandeur of Lyman Estate.  It was my first time photographing a wedding at this church as well, and that is always fun to photograph a MA wedding at a new venue.

Heading to Lyman Estate again after the ceremony, it was a pleasure to shoot alongside Nicole and her team of videographers.  The day was very relaxed and while we shot with the bride and groom again, we had already photographed a lot of the formal groups and were able to explore the grounds around the house and capture more wedding day photos with Lyman Estate in the background.

The wedding day meal was held outside under the tent with views out onto the grounds. With complete run of the property, they were able to move in and out of the house and enjoy everything that Lyman Estate has to offer. Wedding photo opportunities at Lyman Estate both inside and out of the house are to be had at every turn and I’m looking forward to hopefully shooting here again.

BOSTON HARBOR HOTEL WEDDING PICTURES | JILLIAN AND GEOFF 2012

Jillian and Geoff traveled from the west coast to be married in Massachusetts, in Jillian’s hometown of Woburn earlier this year, and held their celebrations at the stunning Boston Harbor Hotel on Boston’s waterfront, with a quick stop-off at the Boston Public Gardens in the mix as well.

BOSTON HARBOR HOTEL WEDDING PHOTOS
JILLIAN AND GEOFF | BOSTON HARBOR HOTEL WEDDING PHOTOS

I started off with Jillian, her bridesmaids and family at the Boston Harbor Hotel where Jillian was getting ready. With some great views over the city from the room near the top of the hotel, this was a perfect spot to get ready before the big day. The girls all looked great, and Jillian was first to get ready as we were meeting Geoff in the Public Gardens for their first look. Traveling over with Jillian in the limo let me capture some great shots of her on the drive over.

Geoff was waiting in the Public Gardens when we turned up, and it was fun to shoot my first “first look” with them.  First looks are a great way to ensure that you get all the photographs that you want, but that you get to spend as much time as possible with your friend and family at the reception.  Plus, with all the preparation and buzz on the day of your wedding, it’s a great way to take a few moments and connect with your soon-to-be husband or wife before the curtains go up!

Their ceremony was in Woburn at St Charles Church, and we traveled there from the Boston Harbor Hotel, with the groom and groomsmen heading there about 45 minutes before Jillian and the rest of the guests. This gave Breck, who was shooting with me that day, the chance to work with them. The ceremony was beautiful, and the church wonderfully lit.

Later on in the evening, I borrowed Jillian and Geoff once more to capture some shots of them with a slightly different ambiance, and work the iconic arch of the Boston Harbor Hotel into their wedding shots as well.

BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – MIKE AND DENISE

I’m shooting Mike and Denise’s wedding in April next year in Boston, but I had the great pleasure of capturing their engagement photos this year at the Boston Public Library. It is a very unique space in the heart of Boston and offers a myriad of shooting opportunities, from the wonderful courtyard to the fascinating interior. The location couldn’t have been any more fitting as Denise is a Librarian herself, and both her and Mike have always enjoyed the Boston Public Library as a place to visit and spend time together.

BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION
BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – MIKE & DENISE

We started off shooting outside the main entrance that leads out onto Copley Square. The front of the Boston Public Library has a sense of grandeur that is hard to beat and made for the perfect starting point for their engagement session. We actually finished off here as well at the end of the night, to make use of the lights that came on after dark. Taking the time to grab some shots here was also a relaxing way to start the session and get Mike and Denise comfortable in front of the camera, which took all of two seconds. These guys were super fun to shoot and I’m really looking forward to their big day next April.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS AT THE BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY BPL
BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – MIKE & DENISE

After capturing some shots outside we moved into the main courtyard, a spot I had been looking forward to shooting in ever since I had first seen it earlier this year. The white walls surrounding the courtyard produce a wonderful quality of light and the architecture feels like a European city rather than being in the center of Boston. The pillars, archways and fountain as well as the manicured gardens make for a great Boston engagement session location or wedding venue.

ENGAGEMENT SESSION AT THE BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY MA
BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – MIKE & DENISE

We wanted to make use of the space in a number of different ways and also after dark, when the fountain was lit by the lights within. After initially shooting here while the daylight lingered in the sky, we moved inside to capture more of the interior before coming back out for a nighttime session.

BOSTON ENGAGEMENT SESSION AT THE BPL
BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – MIKE & DENISE

The Boston Public Library is as fun to shoot inside as it is outside and the number of spots to work with is fantastic, you just have to make sure you’re quiet :) Shooting in the main section of the library with it’s trademark green lamps and the high intricate ceilings framed Mike and Denise to give us some great shots inside, to compliment the ones we had captured outside. It’s always nice to come away from an engagement shoot and have a nice solid variety in the photos and the Boston Public Library sure does give you that opportunity.

BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ENGAGEMENT SESSION – MIKE & DENISE

Heading back out to finish the Boston Public Library engagement session we made use of the staircase again as we had on the way in. I like to be fluid when I shoot and capturing photos as we move through spaces, often using them again in a different way if we pass through them again. The light had faded into the night as we moved back outside to the main courtyard again and the fountain was lit beautifully, illuminating the water and the statue. Using a video light and some off camera flashes I was able to illuminate the background as well, to show off the wonderful pillared archways in the background and Mike and Denise have taken tango lessons and so we had to get at least one of their moves into the shoot as well.. The last shot we captured was back outside, where we had started, as I had wanted to get them a shot in front of the library after dark as well. It was great fun shooting with you both and as I said really looking forward to next April.
