A couple of weeks ago I met up with Melissa and Morris to photograph their Boston engagement pictures. They requested the North End area of Boston as it's one of their favorite places to visit and eat and where they had many of their early dates.
Melissa and Morris met online on OK Cupid (I'd guess about 30% of my couples meet online), Melissa said she couldn't help but laugh reading Morris's profile which mentioned that he was Brad Pitt's identical twin AND had health benefits. Morris said that most responses he got were kind of angry or baffled saying "You're NOT Brad Pitt's brother" so he was excited that Melissa got his sarcastic sense of humor.
Their first date was ice cream at JP Licks. They sat on a bench, chatted and enjoyed their ice creams. As soon as Melissa left, Morris was thinking up reasons and excuses to text her.
Their second date was for dinner in the North End. After the date Morris saw Melissa safely to her door. On his way back to his car he tripped in the dark pathway and went flying. As he fell to the floor cut and bleeding he accidentally hit the panic button on his car key. The next morning he texted Melissa casually asking if she'd heard any disturbance after he left. Melissa slept right though everything :)
Their third date they went for "all you can eat chicken wings" but stopped at 25 wings as neither wanted to appear too greedy ;)
Melissa and Morris spend most of their free time running and taking long walks which enables them to indulge in their mutual love of eating out and all food. We've had some great conversations about food and I'm jealous that they're off on a foodie tour of Maine soon (we just got back yesterday! blog post coming soon)
Melissa and Morris - that was fun!
I hope you like this handful of pictures! Lots more to come! I can't wait to photograph your wedding at the Mandarin Oriental next year (with the fabulous planning of Emilie from Pink Orchid Weddings)
Next up on the blog will be the most stunning wedding you might have ever seen at the Boston Harbor Hotel...

Boston Engagement Pictures in the North End :: Kristin + Dan
Saturday, June 1, 2013
5 weeks from today I'll be photographing Kristin and Dan AGAIN except this time Kristin will be in a wedding dress and Dan in a suit and they'll be partying with the penguins at the New England Aquarium for their wedding reception. They'll be holding hands and saying their vows and exchanging rings at St Ignatius:

We met up in the North End for engagement pictures. It was a weirdly sunny yet windy and quite chilly day but the light was beautiful:
I photographed a wedding at this church last year and the weird leaf wallpaper always intrigued me:
The North End is a pretty cool place to take engagement pictures, it's busy (so not ideal if you're shy) but there are lots of interesting little areas and places to visit not to mention the whole area smells delicious. Like the best garlic-y pasta you've ever eaten.
After a quick outfit change (top tip - don't bring your change of clothes with you in a large bag, it will be a pain to carry/put down for pictures, leave your clothes hanging in your car (parked about half way along our route or ask the concierge/bellman at a local hotel if they'll hold them for an hour and tip them nicely!) we headed over to Christopher Columbus park where the lilac was out in force:
We took a break for a glass of wine at the Fairmont Battery Wharf (their bartenders are so friendly and awesome) and ran through the wedding day plans and timeline:
I think we might have been by the water at the back of a parking lot here which proves the point that your engagement session doesn't have to be a tour of every well known picture spot in the city :)
One last picture and I will leave you to enjoy your weekends. What do you have planned? Me? I have 2 weekends left before wedding season kicks off so I'm planning a trip to the farmers market before Paul gets back home this afternoon. We might do a little kayaking and cook on the grill. Good times. More engagement pictures coming up on Monday....
Kristin & Dan - thank you for being so easy to photograph! I'll see you in 5 weeks!!! Your online gallery with lots more pictures from our session is uploading as I type :)
