Sean and Shawna flew in from Washington D.C. for just one weekend for their engagement session. The fun-loving professionals wanted not-so-posed images that were relaxed, comfortable, and casual. No problem!
Shawna and I talked several times before our session together about what to wear and where to photograph. Our hearts were set on outdoor Boston locations. No— urrr problem! It poured Friday. I don’t mean drizzled. I mean poured. Luckily, as a Maine wedding photographer, I have lots of experience in creatively working in the rain. I received a bunch of troubled facebook comments from fellow pro photographers who thought I was crazy to attempt a session in that much rain. But when you specialize in New England destination weddings and couples come from far away … the show must go on!
To add to the challenge, Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace was still packed with the typical tourist groups, school field trip kids and shoppers. People packed into the malls and under the porches to avoid the weather. With so many people about, we squeezed from location to location using the space we had— capturing the hustle of the area and the romance of the rain.
I think we did GREAT! Sean and Shawna were THE best! Their easy-going nature made for fantastic images despite the challenge of the rain. Their happiness really shows. I had a wonderful time chatting, walking and swapping umbrellas with them in Boston. I am really excited now to hang out with them on their wedding day! You guys were such good sports, thanks!
There’s so much to show, here are a few favs of mine! Happy rain days!
