I spent Saturday afternoon photographing Li and her husband Dan. It was Li’s birthday, and she wanted to have a fun photo shoot to celebrate.
Li, a.k.a. “Fat Orange Cat Studio”, is a friend and bar-none the best pet photographer in Boston. Her photos of critters are a-mazing. Li is also my first go-to person as a second shooter at weddings, and even started a wedding photography arm of Fat Orange Cat Studio.
Saturday was the eve of the blizzard, and Boston was eerily quiet for our photo shoot. I guess people would rather be at the supermarket or hunkering down at home, rather than hanging out in cemeteries and drinking on Newbury St! Hey more space for us, and fewer people to see us acting silly on our photo shoot!
Now, some people may question a romantic photo shoot in a cemetery. But I love cemeteries! I’m not goth or anything, I just like history. Li suggested doing part of our shoot at Boston’s Granary Burial Ground, the final resting place of Paul Revere, John Hancock, Mother Goose, and Sam Adams. It was cold and quiet and really quite beautiful.
