Elyse and Will - A crisp fall afternoon in the city

We are so excited about Elyse and Will’s summer wedding in Boston next June! But we were even more excited about getting together with them last weekend for their engagement session. That’s because it was the first time we were going to meet them! It probably seems pretty obvious that we meet all of our couples before the book us, but sometimes our couples don’t actually live in Boston even though they’ll be getting married here. That’s exactly what happened with Elyse and Will! They’re currently in college and so Elyse’s mom and dad came in to meet us after conferring with Elyse and Will to find out exactly what they were interested in. Well, we completely fell in love with Elyse’s parents. We were actually kind of wishing they’d get re-married or renew their vows because we knew they’d be so much fun!

After confirming their plans to visit family here in Boston over the holiday weekend, Elyse and Will also thought it would be the perfect weekend to finally meet us as well! So we completely took advantage of the time that we had together and headed out into the cool fall afternoon for a great engagement session with them! We probably walked a total distance of 3 blocks from Elyse’s parents house but that was all we needed. We could have photographed these guys in a brown cardboard box and they would have had fun with it so we couldn’t go wrong! Here are some of our favorites!

First one, of the handsome groom-to-be, Will. And this was directly inspired from the cover of this month’s Men’s Vogue. No kidding!

Meanwhile, Elyse and I were having our own fun in the sun…

But seeing as this is an engagement session, here are a few photos when they were together as well…

We walked past this very cool doorway and Rene and I both were dying to use it. We had very different visions of what we saw there, and I’m glad because I love both of our ideas! First I had a little fun with all of the crazy shadows everywhere:

And Rene had something a little more romantic in mind… (This is why I love him… ;))

Elyse has the most adorable little dimples when she smiles. See? I love them!

And we couldn’t believe how many leaves were still on the trees and on the ground, so we knew we’d have to take advantage of them while we could. Our only instructions here were to stop and kiss whenever they felt like it. Now THIS is what I’m talking about! You can never go wrong with a kiss like this!

Elyse and Will are now back home but we’re counting the days until they come back again. And June will be here before you know it and you’ll all get to read about their wedding right here! I promise you that the details at their wedding are going to be AMAZING. Like nothing that we’ve seen so far, so we’re very excited! (Now if only we didn’t all have to wait 7 months!!)
