The Boston Public Garden – Classic. Iconic. 100% Bostonian. Is there a better spot to take iconic engagement photos than Boston Public Garden? That’s what Arielle, Anthony, and I think at least.
We met up on THE HOTTEST day of the summer to take some cute, what I’m now calling “pre-engagement” couple photos at Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill. I’m dubbing them as “pre-engagement” photos because Arielle and Anthony got engaged a week after we took their photos whilst on their vacation to Maine.
Arielle and Anthony have been together for years; they met in college and now live together in Somerville, MA. When we discussed the location for their photos, they wanted a classic Boston backdrop. Naturally, Beacon Hill and the Boston Public Garden sprang to mind. So, Beacon Hill and Boston Public Garden engagement photos is what they got! 🙂
Boston Public Garden engagement photos
We began their pre engagement photo session at Boston Public Garden. The lush willows, well-groomed landscape, and iconic pond made for an ethereal vibe…even if it was 100 degrees out. Even though it was sweltering out, you’d never know it by looking at Arielle and Anthony. They were as cool as cucumbers and radiated love and happiness!
One of the things I love most about photographing in the Boston Public Garden is that there’s a plethora of pretty spots in and around the park. This is incredibly important when you’re taking photos at a place with LOTS AND LOTS of people around. We were able to find picturesque nooks, without people in the background with relative ease.
Beacon Hill engagement photos
Another thing I love about the Public Garden is it’s proximity to Beacon Hill. And when you’re in Beacon Hill, you’re basically obligated to visit Acorn Street…which is exactly what we did. Was that Basic of us? Maybe. Did we care? Hell nah!
Again, since Beacon Hill is a popular tourist spot, we wanted to be aware and not hog the middle of the road (nor did we especially want to photobomb tourists’ photos). One of my many skills as a photographer is my ability to work efficiently while capturing a variety of poses. I got to flex those art director skills of mine and we walked away a few moments later with some super romantic photographs.
Arielle and Anthony’s engagement photo session ended with a leisurely walk around Beacon Hill, talks about our dinner plans, and chatter about how excited we all were to get into some AC.
I absolutely adore Arielle and Anthony and am so happy with the photographs we made together. As they now step into the task of planning their wedding, I’d like to wish them every happiness. And hopefully, if the date works out, I’ll get to spend more time with them photographing their wedding!!

How do we even start to say thank you for all the work and effort you put into our wedding day?
- Josie and Scott
Lauren played such a meaningful role in our wedding, capturing the day in photos that we'll look back on for the rest of our lives. She kept Scott and me calm and sane - Lauren is a miracle worker! She put in 100% effort and gave us her very best, and that means so much to me. Seeing our photographs makes me so excited and so happy that Lauren was with us on this journey.
Lauren made the process so easy and made us feel so comfortable!
- Amy and Luke
We just wanted to say thank you again so much for your amazing work. You were seriously incredible to work with and we loved the locations you suggested for both our engagement shoot and the spots in Stillwater. We were very worried about getting professional photos done since we had never done it before, but you made the process so easy and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you!
Working with Lauren was easy breezy and FUN! She gave us our most treasured photos ever!
- GRACE AND NICK
There was a chunk of time in our wedding planning when we thought we'd go without a professional photographer to save on cost (terrible idea!) but once we met with Lauren, we knew we'd be in good hands. She checked in often and asked questions that got us thinking about other parts of the wedding that we probably would've missed. Lauren captured exactly who we are as a couple!
Lauren's enthusiasm and passion make the photo-taking process so fun – she made me feel like a star!
- Alisa AND Adam
Lauren and her team are so much fun to work with! She made us feel so comfortable on the day of our wedding, providing both silly and helpful cues to help us relax and be ourselves in our photos. Lauren’s background in dance is super helpful in recognizing simple posture changes that make a big difference, too. Oh, and the photos we got are just stunning!
Lauren was pivotal in making our wedding day perfect!
- Emma AND Erik
My husband and I looked FOR MONTHS to find the perfect photographer and after meeting Lauren we knew was the best fit for us. She made our day so much fun and easy. She found little opportunities to make the perfect photo all with a calm ease that comes from someone who has an artistic eye along with experience in understanding the flow of a wedding.
Not only is Lauren an amazing human being, but she is an awesome photographer!
- Haley AND Erick
I've been in several weddings and have worked with a multitude of photographers and I never felt as confident as I did with Lauren. I love how professional she is. She helped with the timeline way in advance and we stuck to that timeline the day of. She was also able to professionally and firmly keep unruly family members settled and focused and navigated family drama beautifully!
