Hey everyone! Do you know an engaged couple who's on the hunt for the perfect wedding venue? Well, have I got the place to recommend - the Boston Public Library!

If you haven't visited the Boston Public Library yet, you're seriously missing out. This place is an architectural gem, with stunning details like marble columns, murals, and gorgeous windows that let in the most amazing light. And don't even get me started on the stunning rooms like Bates Hall in its grandeur, the intimate Abbey Room, and the beautiful courtyard outside. My gorgeous clients paused for a moment on the grand staircase. Shoutout to Lindsay Griffin + Co for Lindsay's impeccable work on wedding hairstyling.

But the Boston Public Library isn't just a place to visit - it's also the best wedding venue in Boston. Trust me, as a wedding photographer, I've seen a lot of venues, but nothing compares to the beauty and elegance of the Boston Public Library.

This venue has something for everyone. There are so many lovely details and it's the perfect place to make your wedding dreams come true.

And let's not forget about the photography opportunities! As a Boston wedding photographer, I'm always on the lookout for the perfect location to capture beautiful moments, and the Boston Public Library is truly a dream come true. The natural light that floods the space is stunning, and every room is like a work of art in itself.

So if you know an engaged couple who's looking for a wedding venue that's truly unforgettable, send them to the Boston Public Library. Whether they're looking for a grand affair or an intimate gathering, this venue has it all. And with me as their photographer, they'll have memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Even if you're not getting married, stop by for a visit after work. They have decent opening hours and even a place to grab a bite and relax in the courtyard.

Your dog is basically your baby so wouldn't it be be so cute to have him or her in your engagement photos?! Here are a few tips:
1. Let me know you're planning to bring along your pet.
2. Confirm that pets are allowed at your shoot location.
3. Make sure the location will be familiar and comfortable.
4. Bring treats.
5. Avoid long sessions. Your doggo won't want to sit still for too long.
6. Enlist help. Your furry friend could very well be the center of attention but remember to get some photos without your pet. To do this, we will need you to bring along a friend who can care for your dog and make sure they don't run off while we do the photos of just you to together.
7. If your dog is the type that goes to the groomer, its a good idea to wait a few days after grooming to avoid having the shedding visible in photos. .

5 Tips for Feeling (and Looking) your best in your Engagement Photos

To put it simply, you can’t look your best if you don’t feel your best. A few things go into creating a natural, comfy look we all crave in engagement photos. I’ve got five tips for looking your best in your engagement photos. I tell all my couples to think about their engagement photos as an extension of what you like doing together as a couple, but this time I’m tagging along with my camera and it’s my job to not get in the way. Don’t worry, you’re not completely on your own. I’ll guide you with ideas and poses.

Best Tip #1: you’ve got the freedom to be different
Now with social media so popular (even grandma has an account!) we all look at photos everyday. You may have seen your friend’s engagement photos on the waterfront – she’s looking amazing in that flowery dress and her partner is looking dapper. There’s no rule that says photos have to look like your friend’s engagement photos. There’s freedom to make your photos cool, original and unique that they’ll inspire others.

Best Tip #2: go ahead and plan a meaningful location
There are the “go to” spots for engagement photos that sure are beautiful, but sometimes they don’t feel personal or have any significance to my couples. I like to encourage my couples to first think outside the box. You can start by thinking about what you like to do together – taking walks with your dogs, cooking together in your apartment, biking by the river, grabbing a beer at your favorite brewery, going out for a night in your favorite neighborhood. Locations with variety (places that give you options for sitting, walking, spots that have shade, cool textures) are your best bet, but spots that are fun for you as a couple (your first date location, the local cocktail room, your favorite square) are even better. Nothing is off limits – from hanging out in your backyard barbecuing to a round of tennis at your local park or playing a game of billiards at the coolest dive bar.

Best Tip #3: select an activity that involves a drink or snack
Nothing feels more intimidating than the odd block of time labeled on your calendar as “engagement photos.” It doesn’t have to feel that way! Go about planning this outing to include something that you like to do. Need some inspiration to feeling comfy? We can begin at your favorite coffee shop, ice cream parlor or brewery.

Best Tip #3: less is more
Leave your chunky wallet, sunglasses and everything you can in your car or at home. If you need to, you can bring a small bag to hold your keys and essentials and I’ll carry it so you don’t have to worry about it. It will be more fun (and will look better) making photos while you are walking around not having pockets holding your phone or keys. All you’ll need is a positive attitude and each other.

Best Tip #5: Don’t overthink your clothes, but don’t forget to plan a bit
It is hard to feel and look relaxed when you are worried about your looks. Make sure your clothes fit well and feel good on you. Those buttons bulging or your sweater hanging too loose will bug you later on when you see your photos. For colors, any solid colors or small patterns, especially bold colors (green, pink, blue) look great.
