Melissa and Rob had their heart set on fall engagement photos. They wanted to catch the New England leaves and they wanted to do it in the heart of Boston. We picked a date, and it rained. We picked another date, and it didn’t rain! We went with that one. I trekked up to Boston, found an overpriced parking spot, and met up with Melissa and Rob.
Rob was in the middle of some hectic scheduling – I think he had just gotten in from a business trip and was headed out about an hour after our shoot for another one! Luckily the stars lined up and we were able to grab an hour or two to get the photos. We walked around the Commons and the surrounding area and found plenty of good spots to shoot for their Boston engagement. The leaves were in all their orange and yellow glory still so that requirement was easily met.
There was a really awesome side street that we found (can’t remember the name, but it’s some famous/historic street so I should know what it is). We grabbed a couple shots but there were some trucks and workers cleaning it up. When I asked what was going on, they said there was a huge shoot with Timbaland earlier that day. Just missed him…
We ended up shooting into dusk and then I headed back to Cranston, where there’s not quite as much traffic. It was awesome hanging out with Melissa and Rob and it makes me want to shoot their wedding even more! Can’t wait for it. Enjoy the engament shots in the mean time.
