On Thanksgiving Eve, I photographed Courtney and Paul at Christopher Columbus Park and in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood. You’ll see them here on the blog next September, when they’ll be married at the Exchange Conference Center in Boston.

I got up verrrry early last week to photograph Cathie and Kevin’s engagement session in the Back Bay area of Boston. When I say “early,” I mean that I left the house at 6:00 a.m. Whew! They were nice enough to meet me at the Public Gardens with a Starbucks.

Cathie and Kevin’s wedding will take place in March 2011 at the W Hotel in Boston.

SHOW ME MORE ENGAGEMENTS!

The other day I photographed Heidi and John in Boston’s Beacon Hill area and the Boston Public Garden. Heidi and John are actually one of my 2011 couples, and they’ll be married at the beautiful Belle Mer in Newport. I’m also so, so excited that they’re having Stillmotion as their videographer. If you like to cry while watching wedding videos, head over to their site!

I got some wonderful shots of Heidi and John, but unfortunately our photo session was cut short by an accident. As I was backing up to take the photo of them on the bench (below), I didn’t realize that there was an empty water fountain behind me with a rising wall and then a three foot drop. How many times have I backed up to get a shot and stepped off a curb or into a puddle? Lots of times. I always think “ooh, I’ll have to be more careful.” This time I backed into something more dangerous and ended up flipping backwards and falling on my back and hitting my head. I was basically fine — sore and stunned — but fine. I consider myself incredibly lucky that the fall wasn’t worse, and from now on I’m going to be MUCH more careful and aware of my surroundings while shooting. So to all my photographer friends, PLEASE be careful when you’re photographing, and please always try to be aware of your surroundings. Never get so carried away with making a photograph that you don’t know where your next step is going to land you. It’s hard because while we’re photographing we’re using our eyes and mind for something else, not to pay attention to our own safety. Anyway, we did get some beautiful photographs that day… oh, and my two Canon 5Ds and attached lenses (which also fell) turned out fine too.

I recently photographed Norah and Chris’ engagement session in Boston. We photographed in the Public Garden and around Beacon Hill on a beautiful Fall day!

You’ll see these two on the blog next year. Their wedding is next June at the MIT Chapel with a reception at Oleana.
