2011 'Best Of' Engagement Shoots | Boston Wedding Photographer

2011 'Best Of' Engagement Shoots | Boston Wedding Photographer

So here's the first in our 'Best Of' series we'll be putting together in the coming few weeks to recap our 2011 season.  It's almost too much fun to go back through all our shoots to make these selections - so many good ones!!  We always talk up the engagements shoots as such a significant part of our process, getting to know all our couples, breaking the ice, having a few laughs and it makes for better wedding images on the big day.  Ok, now take a quick break and watch this:

Bridal Shoes | Copy Cat Yellow Flats

Bridal Shoes | Copy Cat Yellow Flats 

Once upon a time a bride emails all her bridesmaids with a vague email about a cute pair of yellow flats, comfy and classy, with a touch of hip sprinkled on top.  A couple months later the wedding day is upon us. Bride with little yellow flats and a bridesmaid with little yellow flats. Bridesmaid mortified "On no! I didn't understand your email, I bought the shoes, I thought that you wanted us to buy them!" Bride "Yeah, I did, I really liked them, I thought you guys would too." This little scenario isn't bad…only the one bridesmaid who actually bought them felt bad, but she was soon over it because the shoes were so perfect for the beautiful rolling hills of Riverside Farm in Vermont.

To match or not to match is a big question. Fully loaded like a baked potato. As a bride you can let your girls choose their own footwear (they might do this anyway, there is always one bridesmaid rebel without a cause) or you can request they all wear the same shoes. All I ask is that the shoes are cute! It is so much fun when all the girls come matching, dressed to the 9's with their different personalities shining through their well planned shoe decisions.

But, here's a little food for thought and this is all hypothetical and as far as I can remember this has not happened, yet. What if the bridesmaids all bring their own unique shoes and one upstages the brides shoes!?? Maybe the bride should just see all of the shoes, just in case…

Trinh + Bradford

It's so nice to look back at this summer wedding and not only because winter is quickly approaching.  Trinh and Bradford worked hard to incorporate their different backgrounds into what turned out to be a great day. We scheduled in time for more creative photos of just the bride and groom which always makes for a relaxed and memorable experience before the reception gets underway.  They chose Marina Bay in Quincy for the backdrop and we had enough time to make amazing images and of course to get some ice cream (a must for those hot afternoons).  Take a look:

Ones of our favorites!

Next few images from their 'first meeting'.

The expression on both their faces during the father daughter dance is pretty much priceless.

That's what you call a dip!

A few reception details.

Ashley + Eddie

I was a bit like a kid in a candy store when Ashley said she didn't really know where to do their engagement photos.  She said they were up for anything, but I'm not sure if she knew what that meant to me.  Nothing like Pandora's box but I always try to have a primo location up my sleeve.  Theresa and I had drove by this place at least a year earlier and we knew it would be a great shooting spot.  The No Trespassing signs made the logistics a bit iffy but you have to love it when a plan comes together!

 Shannon + Jonathan

We were psyched to have another wedding at Zukas Hilltop Barn a few months back.  And yes, finally just getting a chance to blog about it now, we know.  You might recognize a few of the images from a recent post about our images getting published in Bride and Groom Magazine.  So we thought let that be the teaser and here's the full post.  Shannon and Jonathan were a true pleasure to work with and despite the on and off rain we had a chance to make some images around the gorgeous property that is Zukas. 

Jonathan had a few Converse pairs to choose from.

Love this!  Shannon didn't mind if they saw each other before the ceremony but Jonathan wasn't having it.

Loves her shoes already!

A few of the details.
