Alissa and Derek — Boston Seaport Engagement

I have such a crush on these two. When I met Alissa and Derek last fall, I knew right away that I wanted to work with them to photograph their wedding. At that time, they were living in Southern California; when we met up to shoot their engagement session last week, they had both just completed cross-country drives to their new home here on the east coast. Derek is from the area, and had proposed to Alissa down on the waterfront, so we decided to meet up in the Seaport so we could shoot in an area that was meaningful to them. Not only did they bring their amazing selves (and Alissa’s childhood friend Sarah who is the BEST assistant of all time), but they definitely brought a giant halo of that golden California sunshine that I love so well. It was an effortless evening in the city, topped off with an introduction to Island Creek Oysters (how could I go wrong?) and a toast to their upcoming wedding at the Cohasset Harbor Resort next month. This was definitely one of my favorite shoots. I love love!
