Welcome back to part 2 of Alexa and Michael’s engagement shoot in Boston, if you hadn’t yet seen part one, check it out here now! So after finishing at the Public Garden (where I could have shot all day with these two) we had a quick caffeine hit and an outfit change up before heading to the picturesque streets of Beacon Hill!

Alexa and Michael both had an idea of some locations and when they had initially spoken with me over e-mail Beacon Hill jumped out and would incorporate a lot of these. An outfit change between the Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill also gave a nice change in feel to the photos between the two places as well. I can say again how much fun it was getting all these photos with these two :)

No engagement session in Beacon Hill would really be complete without a few photos on the famous Acorn Street as well!

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.
