Boston Public Library Engagement Session: Kate + Danny

Dec 7, 2010 | Engagements

A couple of Saturdays ago, I met up with sweethearts Kate and Danny for their engagement session.  It was a bitterly cold day, so we took shelter in the Boston Public Library (such a great space for engagement photos).  Of course, the couple of photos we took outside at the end of the session turned out to be my absolute favorites (what can I say?  The sun is my favorite light source!) so I’ll start with one of those:

Danny and Kate met on eHarmony (yay for internet dating – that’s how Josh and I met too!)  They are the absolute perfect match, too – smart, sweet and just a little bit quirky.  They really seem to fit.  I loved watching them interact; they had very little input from me during our session.  Our first stop in the library was the grand staircase; I love this space, and the amazing murals there:

Then, we headed into the (very busy) reading room.  Another gorgeous spot:

OK, so I couldn’t resist a few more photo in the grand hallway .  I really like those huge pillars.

We had a wander through the library and decided to take some photos with these book shelves.  The lying on the floor was all them and I love it!

Bold architecture, crazy light, and lots of leading lines …

We headed out to the little courtyard at the library for some outdoor shots and I like this sweet sequence of Kate and Danny chatting.  The look of love on Danny’s face when he talks to Kate is immense.  🙂

I’m a big fan of this architecture; the lamps are the perfect frosting:

After a few more stops in the library, we headed over to the Christian Science Plaza.  It was *so cold* so we only managed a few minutes over there, but I love what we got.  The light was pretty special:

Huddled tight and trying not to freeze – there’s something so sweet about this little series:

The light, the light!

Thank you Danny and Kate for a fun afternoon, and for braving the cold outside.  I loved getting to know you better and can’t wait for your wedding next fall!
