No matter what the season: Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, the Common is visited by many couples to shoot their 
engagement photos. It’s no secret that New England is known for its beautiful foliage and the Boston Common is a great place to see it. The beautiful landscape of trees and shrubs burst with color during Autumn.    

Fall: Water, Bench, Trees, Bridge

During the Spring & Summer months these grassy hills are filled with couples on picnics, sunbathers, and happy children enjoying a day on the swan boats. 

 Spring & Summer: Swan Boats, Buildings, Flowers, Statue, Frog Pond

The Common becomes a winter wonderland at the first site of snow. Many enjoy the fresh winter air while gliding along a famous frozen surface know as Frog Pond. After a day on the ice, sip hot cocoa and enjoy the city lights.

Winter: Sunset, Frog Pond , Swans, Walkway

Here are some engagement photos by some local Boston Photographers:

This brings me to this super cute moment from Amy & Kyle’s Wedding. I absolutely love the idea of stealing a private moment away especially on this lovely boat ride. I imagine that while Amy & Kyle spent time sitting out on the water they looked back at their reception and were able to see the love and support of family and friends as they celebrated. 

The photographer captured these amazing photos of their special moment!

Christine & David married at Devil’s Thumb Ranch, just outside of Winter Park on August 6th 2009.

This beautiful Colorado Mountain is home to skiers in the winter and during the summer months adored by couples looking to wed. A blue sky, vast green landscape and a bright warm sun all contribute to making this a truly beautiful wedding day.

Boudoir photography, when done by a professional photographer, is like a work of art and stimulates emotions. The time prior to your wedding is filled with love and affection and a boudoir photo can capture these emotions and how you look and feel at this time.

Many photographers include hair and make-up services to bring out the super model in you. There are many styles to choose from like retro pin-up, sexy or nude and you can wear anything from your man’s favorite shirt, a faux fur wrap, to lingerie. With a variety of poses too like full body shots, close-ups of your face or legs, lying down, sitting up, indoors or out, you can let your glamorous self go!

Boudoir photographers are even scheduling stops at cities around the country for women who want to be photographed at places that are near and dear to them and their man. So if there’s not a boudoir photographer in your area, one may be stopping there soon.

One of our favorite Boston Photogs will be in the area for Boudoir photo shoots on these dates!

I enjoy spending time browsing my favorite wedding blogs and often come across the cutest photos of couples. The photos come our amazing and the surprising thing is that the couples are doing everyday things! So I gather a few of my favorites to share with all of you.

Who wouldn’t love a day in the sun with the one you love. Fill a basket of goodies and enjoy a picnic at a local park. Bring along a frisbee or football and add some fun action shots to your day.

Another great way to spend the day outdoors is to do what little kids have being enjoying for years…go fly a kite! Pick out a kite filled with bright colors {add a nice touch and get one to match your wedding colors} and go to a beach, a field, a local park or atop some grassy hills. Running and flying will bring smiles to your faces that will be captured on film for all to enjoy.

Grabbing a little snack like an ice cream cone reminds me of a perfect first date. These photos are so innocent, honest and totally captures how smitten they are for one another. 

A very popular prop used in engagement photos are balloons. I love this trend and find that it brings color and a certain sweetness to the photos. Isn’t the first one with the two pink balloons lovely *swoon*. This is also another great way to tie in your wedding colors!

Riding bikes is definitely one of my favorites. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon riding around your city or town hitting up all your favorite spots. It’s playful and super fun!

There are so many other great places or props for your engagement photos like:

~ Swings at a playground
~Walking your pet
~Mini Golf
~Canoe on a lake
~Fishing
~Umbrella in the rain
~Building a snowman
~Building a sand castle
~Walking around a music or art festival

Any others? Please share your ideas!

Wherever you go or whatever props you use be sure it something you like to do, something that excites you and leave the rest up to your photographer as he/she is sure to capture the great couple you are!

Happy Wedding Planning!!

Flowers and foliage are some of the most popular ways to shoot the wedding ring. I particularly love the one of the pink flower. The colors really pop and make the ring really shine!

These photos really take a different spin on the traditional ring photo. The placement and style are so clever and filled with personality. How cute is the close pin!

Here are some particular moments throughout a wedding where I would imagine emotions run high:

-Slipping into the wedding dress for the first time.
-When the bride grabs her Dad’s arm as they head towwards the aisle.
-The music keys and begins to play…here comes the bride…
-Looking down the aisle, right into the eyes of the man you love.
-A mother helping her little girl get ready…

Edmonson Weddings is made up of Award Winning International Wedding Photographers based in TX. Thier work is simply amazing. I just love these whimsical photos. My favorite is the bride on the bench. The colors are amazing and she looks like she is enjoying her day in front of the camera! Which is your favorite? Any ideas of a quirkly place to have wedding photos taken?

The couple were so thrilled with Bob’s work from the ”Us” shoot that they hired him to photograph their wedding. On June 7th the two were married at Felt Club in Boston. The bride took an untraditional approach and wore a long fire engine red dress. The two danced the night away with friends and family and Bob was there capturing every moment!
