Distractions of a Boston Engagement Photographer
Posted on 18. Jan, 2010 by Symbol Photography in Wedding/Engagement
Talk about clients that can just drive you to distraction.
Picture it: Saturday, January 16. Two Boston Wedding Photographers just trying to do what they love and do it well with no interruptions and, in Richard and Allison’s case, ‘IT’ was their engagement photography. As luck would have it, Saturday was one of the warmest of the winter – which made being outside bearable for a January in Boston. However, it also made it more bearable for the rest of the world, so we had plenty of company and interested passerby! A little chilly, but a quick stop for some coffee and we were feeling good.


Brendan and I had our ideas, as usual, and Richard and Allison were up for everything we threw their way. Not some typical engagement photography destinations, but unique and so well-suited to these two, nonetheless. And just when I thought I couldn’t enjoy these two any more than I did after some coffee and great conversation and a few laughs, they mentioned getting some shots at their favorite used record store.
Finally. A client that wanted to go record shopping during their session.
The perfect diversion and distraction. I’ve been waiting for you, Richard.
And so after spending some quality-time with Shepard Fairey, having some fun city steps and some city lights, Father Miles Davis – in all of his jazz wisdom – looked down over this couple, presided over this engagement photography session and blessed this union.



…and lastly, I just love the boots. Had to sneak in a photo of those.
Enjoy!

So different. I just love these images. How lucky are you to have a couple willing to try something different. And how lucky are they to have a photographer with such a unique eye for some special and different.
