Peter and I met up with Julia & Peter at their home in the North End. We began the evening by having a drink on their roof deck which has a beautiful view of the harbor, Charlestown, and Boston. The weather was perfect and the sky was scattered with gorgeous clouds.
Truth be told - our drinks on the roof were to give a bit of courage to Peter and Julia (a little more to Peter). Having your photograph taken professionally is a strange thing. The idea is to act naturally with one another, but how can you act naturally with a camera close by - and with people around who you only recently met? And that is exactly the reason for a shoot before the wedding! By the end of our time together everyone was much more at ease - and I captured some great moments to boot.
I love this one.
This one too.
This is a shrine down one of the street in the North End that they pass each day.
See...they're getting loosened up a bit.
One of my favorites.
Another sun-drenched shot...but I can't help but love the mood and Julia's hair blowing in the wind.
Thank you Julia & Peter for playing around with us and taking us on a fabulous (and whirlwind) trip through the streets of the North End. We'll be putting your recommendations to good use very soon!
