I love calling Boston my home and one of my favorite activities to share with visitors in the summer is the beautiful Harborwalk. With views of the city in the background and the ocean breeze in our hair, it’s a wonderful reminder of why I adore my city. What better place to snap some super sweet engagement pics, and that’s just what Annmarie Swift did with these cuties – see it all in our VAULT this way!
From Annmarie Swift Photography… Perfectly casual formal attire, a classic Boston skyline, and romantic sunset light had this bride-to-be and her groom-to-be sweetly embracing at their engagement session this fall! These two adorable puppy parents will be married next summer at the Hyatt Boston Harborside hotel so we decided to celebrate their engagement right in the middle of the view they’ll overlook as a married couple together. Their elegant Boston engagement session will always be a favorite thanks to the love they simply radiate!
From the Bride-to-be… Jesse and I met during the summer of 2012 when we were introduced by one of my coworkers, who happened to be one of Jesse’s college roommates. It was actually a blind date, since we had really only texted and spoken on the phone a few times. From the moment we met, we were inseparable and truly fell in love. It was like I had found a piece of me that had been missing for so long when I met him. Jesse also grew a tremendous love for my dog, Charlie, who has been such a joy in our lives.
In early 2015 we decided to build a house together, and spent time over the next few months making plans for the house. On a beautiful morning in May, we met with the builder and went over to our lot to check out the progress and take pictures of the “Sold” sign they had placed on it. We took a picture together in front of the sign, and that was when Jesse got down on one knee and proposed! It was the most thoughtful and romantic proposal that I could have ever dreamed of, and it took place at the spot where we will continue to build our lives together. He made it even more special by having our families meet us afterwards to celebrate. Not to mention that this day just happened to be my birthday! It was truly the best day of my life and the best birthday present I could have ever gotten. I feel like the luckiest person in the world to be marrying my best friend.
When it came time to decide on a photographer for our wedding, I just happened to come across Annmarie Swift’s blog in my search for weddings at the Hyatt Boston Harbor. Looking through her amazing pictures, I knew that she would be the perfect fit to capture our big day. This was confirmed as soon as we met Annmarie for our engagement pictures in the Seaport District, where she made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing during our session. We were so happy to get to include Charlie in our pictures, as he is such a big part of our lives. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with her.
We are so excited for our upcoming wedding next July, and we cannot wait to celebrate with all of our loved ones!
