Rainy day in Boston-Andrea & Tate's Engagement


This weekend, I flew out to Boston to shoot an engagement session for Andrea & Tate, whose wedding I am shooting in Greenwich, Connecticut next year. All week we were a bit worried about the weather--the forecast was for heavy rain all day, and there was only one possible day to shoot! That morning, I woke up to thunderstorms and a torrential downpour, but Andrea wasn't worried--she said she was prepared with her galoshes and we were heading out rain or shine!

We were on the way to Harvard Square first, when it miraculously stopped raining for a few minutes. I saw this beautiful old church off to the side of the road and figured that it was best to shoot whatever we could while the rain held off! I'm so glad we did, because we were able to get shots like this:



and this:



We headed towards Harvard Square, but I was more interested in the gorgeous colors off to the side streets, so we walked around there for awhile, and luckily the rain held off a little longer:







Check this out--I told Tate to pick up Andrea, but I had no idea they could pose like this!:



We found the cutest little park and shot a few more swingy photos:



On the way back to the car, we saw a woman getting into her car with this awesome umbrella. It's awesome because it is the exact umbrella of Tate & Andrea's school where they met, Boston College, where we were headed next. We stopped to chat for a minute and it turned out that the woman who owned the umbrella was a mother of the bride herself and only too happy to let us use it for a few shots:



Lastly, we headed into Boston to grab some shots at Boston College, the couples' alma mater. This is them in front of the school mascot, the Golden Eagle:



Unfortunately, this was the point in the day when it began to really rain, but we were able to get just a couple more shots. I love this one:



And this one, which I think is really representative of the gorgeous school. In the background, you can see another eagle statue (quite an aggressively posed one actually!), some bright foliage, and of course, the couple:



Thank you both for an amazing shoot, being GREAT sports about the weather, and your excellent fashion sense :).
