Another post LONG overdue! Before I get to Taylor and Matt I have just got to say that this was such an interesting day! It took us longer to get to Boston than what we planned on. Let's just say spike strips, federal, state and city agencies, rifles and propel water was to blame.
Taylor and Matt knew each other since they were little ity bity grade schoolers. After high school they didn't see each other until fate brought them back together while Matt was in the military in North Carolina. Matt popped the question after spending the day together in Boston, MA. His favorite place so I've learned. (Side Note: Matt makes an awesome tour guide, LOL.) Matt is also a HUGE Redsox fan.
Here was the plan. We shoot their engagement session in Boston (that was a given). Here is where the crazy day begins:
Matt's idea of the day that was planned was:
Arrive in Boston. Get some shots around the outside of Fenway Park on Yawkey Way., visit some breweries, go to Mike's Pastry on the North End for some Canolli's (Which they did the day he proposed), Go back to the spot where he proposed and get down on bended knee for the Camera (Surprise Taylor).
Taylor's idea of the day that was planned was:
Arrive in Boston. Get some shots around the INSIDE and OUTSIDE of Fenway Park and on Yawkey Way. (Surprise Matt), Go to the Commons and to Mike's Pastry because they are so good and "Val, you have to try it!"
Val's idea of the day that was planned was: This is going to be AWESOME!!!
Here is Matt's expression when he found out we were actually going to be privately escorted into the Ball Park. Straight from he camera.....He really did turn that shade of red!
Matt and Taylor are getting married July 19th so of course I had to incorporate it, Val style into the session.
Matt was in heaven by the dug out and his girl :-)
We were not there at the best time of day so I had to bust out the reflector for this shot.
After leaving Fenway Park we headed over to the Boston Common.
I absolutely LOVE this shot. I become such a dork when I get shots like this; I practically hyperventilate from the excitement and begin to talk like a chipmunk on crack!
Seriously, shoes and hint - o - hands...
How hot are these two?
After leaving Boston Common we headed over to the waterfront; to the exact spot Matt proposed. He then went down on his knee. How sweet is that?
We were all cracking up....Wouldn't you like to know why?
Thanks so much Matt and Taylor!!! We had a great long day. Matt and Taylor treated me to Mike's Pastry and Fiore's restaurant in the North End. If you haven't tried either of those places put it on your list of things to do. It was incredible! There were far too many to post so check out the slide show to see the rest. Enjoy!
