our first engagement session in boston was such an incredible experience!!! lindsey contacted me to do their engagement pictures a few months ago, but the plan was to do them in michigan, when they came home this summer in july. but then….. ben and i were making a trip out east to do some other photo sessions, so we contacted them and said…. ‘how does boston sound for your session’? and i am so thrilled that we did them there….. what a BEAUTIFUL city!!! not to mention our ever soooo HOT couple. lindsey warned me a couple times that she may not be the best model…. WHATEVEEEEER!!! they both knew how to work it for the camera!

now for a little background setting…… lindsey used to be our neighbor, years ago, when i was in high school at portage central. her older sister, shannon and i went to school together and were friends, so it’s fun when you already have a former connection! love the blasts from the pasts!!! so fun! lindsey has also started a blog called wed michigan and you can check it out at www.wedmichigan.blogspot.com. she features some fabulous michigan vendors and has some great ideas and budget savers, as well!

i just HAVE to share a story since it’s a first for us! we sometimes trespass… yes, i know, naughtiness!!!! but seriously, some spots are too good to pass up…. i’m just sayin’. so we had already covered some major boston locations already, bunker hill, the U.S.S. Constitution and then we were ready for some urban photo love. as we were leaving the naval port, we saw this really cool loading dock in an empty parking lot. yes, there MIGHT have been a sign that said ‘keep out’, but it’s not like there was a fence we had to jump or anything like that…. so we thought it’d be okay for just a few minutes! needless to say… 2 park rangers came, with guns, and we thought for sure we would be arrested. after 15 minutes of some serious anxiety on my part, they just did a background check on all of us to make sure we didn’t have any warrants out for our arrests and they gave us a verbal warning. thank you, mr. park ranger for being so kind. and i didn’t ask them if they would take a picture with the couple for the memory…. oh wait! yes, i sure did. they did decline since we had been “detained” by them, but i had to at least ask! right?! we will definitely be more careful about our trespassing in the future!

and now… for the fabulous pictures! and p.s….. we are a COKE drinking family, not so much pepsi, but how could we resist the “HOT, HOT, HOT” sign. so a big shout-out to pepsi for putting that fabulous hot pink sign in the perfect place for an awesome shot! yeah!!! thanks so much brian + lindsey… you guys were so incredible and we had a blast discovering boston with you and hanging out!!! here are some of our faves……. ENJOY!!!
