Heather and Ryan Engagement Session | Good Harbor Beach, Gloucester MA

Ariel — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:20:06 +0000

How cute are these two?! Matt and I met up with Heather and Ryan a couple weeks ago at beautiful, Good Harbor Beach (thank you guys for making the drive!). The clouds which threatened rain for much of day disappeared for us and we were left with gorgeous afternoon sunlight! We had a blast with these two and they helped us out by smiling the whole time. I know Matt and I are looking forward to heading down south (of Boston) for their seaside wedding next summer.

Hear are some favorites!

Katie and Gabe | Brooksby Farm Wedding | Peabody, MA

Ariel — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 03:34:45 +0000

You might remember Katie and Gabe from the images we posted of their recent engagement session at Crane Estate. Let me tell you, I knew these guys would be a lot of fun on their wedding day but I was completely unprepared me for just how relaxed and full of laughter Katie was when I arrived at her house two Friday’s ago. I thought for sure after the fog and relentless bugs these two endured during their engagement session that we would be greeted for their wedding with sunny sky’s. In-spite of the rain both Katie and Gabe smiled throughout the whole day, it was an absolutely beautiful wedding, Matt and I were both honored to be a part of it!

On a side note… Although many couples are not thrilled at the prospect of rain on their wedding day, from the photographers end this does create the opportunity for some unique imagery that you wouldn’t get otherwise!

There will be a slideshow following soon, for now I hope you enjoy looking through these images of their wonderful wedding!

Congratulations Katie and Gabe!!!

This was so cute! Katie started to put the ring on the wrong hand before realizing it and laughing!

How cute is this little boy? Really!!

The Lime Driver looked truly frightened that the cork from the champagne bottle would come right back down on his head

Emily and Thomas | North End Engagement Session | Boston

Ariel — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:38:48 +0000

Matt and I were excited to receive a call from these two about a month ago letting us know that they were going to be in town for a few days and asking if we could do their engagement session. We have booked many couples this year who live out of state but are having their weddings here in the Boston area (Skype has become a very useful to us!). We absolutely love this! The only downside is that many times we don’t get to do an engagement session or any sort of in person, face to face meet before the wedding day. Needless to say we were thrilled to be able to fit in a session with them before they tie the knot this October 2nd.

Here are some of the images from their engagement session!

Lauren and Chris | Boston Engagement Session

Ariel — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 19:01:26 +0000

Lauren and Chris were the perfect example of why we do engagement sessions! Engagement sessions for us are not just about great pictures (don’t get me wrong, we make sure you get those!), to us they’re very much about getting to know our couples. We try to have the couple pick something for their shoot that they will have fun doing, keep them laughing and completely relaxed. I knew Matt and I would have a blast with these two when Lauren suggested meeting up in Beacon Hill and exploring Boston on foot… She declared that this was one of her and Chris’s ways to spend time together… Wandering, trying to decide on the best place to eat, eating and then wandering more. While Matt and I were in school together we would wander for hours doing the exact same thing. We could not have asked for a better day for weather, it was sunny, breezy day. These two made our job so easy! They were laughing the whole time, I don’t think Matt or I had to crack a single bad joke throughout our time with them.

We can’t wait for their wedding this September at the Boston Harbor Hotel

Lauren and Chris; I hope you both enjoy looking through this set… More to come soon!

Richelle and Jun | Cambridge Engagement Session

Ariel — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 03:27:17 +0000

Matt and I met up with Richelle and Jun last Monday for their engagement session. We’re always excited when couples want to incorporate activities or places that are meaningful to them, so needless to say when these guys suggested skating… We were psyched! Jun and Richelle both wowed us with their freestyle skating – while I was shooting away, I was definitely thinking about the few times I’ve been on blades. Let’s just say I was much less graceful. So thank you guys for introducing us to what skating is all about, I hope you enjoy the images!

Sabrina + Ron Married | Elm Bank | Wellesley, MA

Ariel — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 03:27:47 +0000

Matt and I are working hard on editing all of Sabrina and Ron’s images from their wedding last Sunday at Elm Bank. We’re looking forward to having their slideshow up by tomorrow evening. For now I wanted to Share with you some of my favorite photographs from their wedding day. Sabrina looked absolutely gorgeous and it was quite apparent how hard she had worked planning every detail of their wedding day! This included polka dotted bow ties for the guys, Ron rocked a green and white one while the two groomsmen had pink and white complimenting their tan suites. I loved it!
These two were an absolute joy to photograph, Sabrina started the day out a little shy of the camera but by the end of the day was hamming it up and modeling like a pro. They made our jobs easy and Matt and I had a blast. Thank you guys so much for sharing your special day with us!!

We can’t wait to share more photographs with you but for now I’ll leave you with these:

Leslie + Chuck | Salem Engagement Session

Ariel — Fri, 21 May 2010 14:10:55 +0000

When Matt and I first sat down with these two, we knew they would be absolutely awesome to work with! They had all sorts of ideas for their engagement session, Chuck particularly had some very strange ideas which were vetoed quite quickly by Leslie. One of the ideas however stuck and we ran with it, Chuck desperately wanted to mock the famous American Gothic Painting. They truly went all out; pitchfork, apron, right down to the pendant on Chucks neck. Yes, I did say Chucks neck…They decided to swap roles for the photo. On Sunday Matt and I arrived a bit early to the Salem Witch House where we had decided to re-create this shot. We were a little worried that we wouldn’t recognize these two. From a mile away we spotted a couple walking down the street in full American Gothic attire.
Matt and I are currently working on editing these wonderful photographs, for now I have posted one of the shots taken after the actual mock. Just to wet your appetite a bit.

Their enthusiasm continued throughout the rest of the shoot, they had lots of special places around salem they were excited to take us to! Not only did they do such a good job of planning the session but they made our job so easy! These two were laughing and joking around the entire time!

Thank you both for all the effort and enthusiasm you brought to the shoot!

We can’t wait to photograph your wedding next May!

Here I am at work capturing photograph number 5, thanks Matt!!

This is why we choose not to wear our Sunday's best to our engagement sessions!

Check out the Highlight Slideshow from their engagement session!

Happy Easter!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a few family photos with you guys. Matt and I decided to take Aydon down to local, Good Harbor Beach, yesterday for Easter. We packed up cameras, towels and sunblock and headed out for the afternoon. We were shocked to find the beach packed, I mean really packed, with people in a whole range of attire. Many kids and some brave adults had bathing suites and were enjoying the refreshing (cold!) water. I couldn’t believe how warm it was for just the beginning of April. This was Aydons first trip to the beach since last summer when he was a mer 4 months, he absolutely loved it. He was a bit skeptical at first, giving us a disgusted look as we plopped him down in the sand. Within 5 minutes however, he was toddling everywhere, making a beeline for the water whenever he could. He got extra brave towards the end and was running around in the water after we stripped him down to his diaper. We spent a good half hour playing in the water enjoying this unusually warm weather. I can’t remember the last time I went to the beach in April!

Here are a few pictures from our afternoon:

I'll leave you with my favorite of the day!
