The City to Ourselves with Samantha & Stephen

Samantha and Stephen’s Boston engagement session was the perfect blend of fun, spontaneity, and genuine moments. We started early in the morning in the heart of Boston, before the city had fully woken up. With the quiet streets and iconic Boston landmarks as our backdrop, it felt like we had the entire city to ourselves, creating the perfect atmosphere for this engagement photography session.

Right from the start, it was clear how laid-back and easygoing Samantha and Stephen are as a couple. Their chemistry made this engagement shoot feel effortless, with natural moments of laughter and joy replacing any stiff posing. As we wandered through Boston, we stumbled upon a local donut shop, and without hesitation, decided to pop in. This spontaneous stop gave us some of the most memorable photos, showcasing their fun-loving personalities and genuine connection.

Capturing these candid moments during their Boston engagement photography really highlighted why I love doing engagement shoots—it’s not just about perfect poses, but about preserving real memories that reflect who the couple truly is. For Samantha and Stephen, that meant donuts, laughter, and exploring the city they love.

If you’re looking for Boston engagement photographers or planning your own Boston engagement photos, let’s connect! Sessions like these are all about creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience that tells your love story in the most authentic way. I’m beyond excited to also be photographing their wedding next summer, and I can’t wait to capture the next chapter of their love story!

Sunrise Proposal on the North Shore

I went to school on the North Shore, and something that I’ve always missed since I graduated were the sunrises on the beach. Whenever I was stressed, happy, or just needed something to do, watching the sunrise or sunset on the beach was always a go-to option. When Nathan asked me to shoot a surprise proposal for him in Beverly, Massachusetts, I didn’t hesitate to say yes. I’ll take any excuse to shoot a proposal in a lovely place that will always feel like home.
