Engagment Photo Shoot

Derek and I had an engagement photo shoot last saturday in the Boston Public Gardens and along Newbury street in Boston. We did it for a few reasons: We wanted nice pictures of us together that weren't shot through a drunken haze of a friend, and we wanted to compile some nice shots to use for a guest sign in book at the reception or a matted photo for the reception. It was also a great way to hang out with our photographer who will be doing our wedding next August. Her name is Mariah. We went to high school together and since then she's become an accomplished photographer for modeling companies and privately specializing in portraits and journalistic photography. She is actually in Kenya right now shooting some remote villages! She's amazing and made Derek and I both feel so comfortable! It was easy - even with people staring and her making us do "serious" faces once in a while (which both Derek and I hardly pulled off). Check out her website! www.mariahgale.com
When Mariah gets back from Kenya we will have some shots online and I'll be sure to post a few :)
I also signed and deposited to secure her as our photographer for the wedding!! WOW! I have a date, place, DJ and now photographer and my wedding is still 447 days away!
