We just finished a great engagement session with Annelena and John. Their session turns out to be our very last session for 2007 and definitely let us finish the year on a high note! And as a great coincidence, Annelena and John will be our first wedding of 2008 in just a couple of months!
We met Annelena and her mom a few months ago, but didn’t actually get to meet John until just this past weekend. Although they will be getting married here in Boston, they actually live in New York. So when they made the trip back to Boston this week for a family wedding, they thought it would be a great time to get together with us as well! We had an amazing time with both of them and now we really can’t wait for the wedding! (And the great news is that we won’t have to wait too long for it!)
Because we got together later in the afternoon, we were able to do something a little bit different and had part of their session in the bright daytime sun and part of their session in the evening darkness. With all of the Christmas lights still up in Boston, it made for some great backdrops! So here comes a whole bunch of images that give you a glimpse into our afternoon!
We literally met in front of a hotel in downtown Boston and just walked around following the light. It was so much fun exploring streets and alleys that we had never used before!

We found a school that had some very cool, bold colors outside and Annelena was completely loving this mural so we spent a lot of time around here with all the different things we had to play with!

The other thing you should know is that Annelena has the most amazingly gorgeous eyes. I’m quite sure she’s thoroughly sick of hearing me tell her that every five seconds but I just couldn’t resist. Every time I’d see them, I’d fall in love all over again…

And just as the sun was dipping below the horizon we walked past a gritty alley that was still wet from the showers we got early in the day. So perfect!

A million thank yous to Annelena and John for having so much fun with us!! And this is just a prelude to the amazing day we’ll all have in just a few months at the wedding! We are just so excited and can’t wait to see you guys very soon!
