Crane Beach Anniversary Portrait Session

BOSTON COUPLES PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

 
I almost never know in advance of a shoot what a client looks like. So when K. reached out to me to arrange a surprise beach photo session to celebrate her anniversary with her boyfriend, she clued me in as to what colors they would be wearing so I could spot them. We agreed to meet at a tidal sand bar at Crane Beach, and just like my surprise proposal sessions, I kept an eye for their approach, all the while pretending to take snapshots of my surroundings. From down the beach, I soon saw a couple approaching wearing the colors K. described. Was this them? I wasn’t so sure. But the colors matched, we were the only three on the sandbar, and love was in the air as the woman cozied up to her partner along the water in front of me.

So, telephoto lens in hand, I started snapping pictures. The woman looked back at me, smiling, then the man. And as they started to walk away, that sinking feeling set in this wasn’t “my couple”. I thought it best to explain why I was taking pictures of them, and we all had a good laugh. My only request to them as they left was if they passed my couple on their way back down the beach, was please not to say anything and spoil the surprise. K. and her boyfriend arrived soon after, surprise intact, and what a beautiful afternoon it was! If you’re looking to celebrate your anniversary, relationship, proposal or engagement in the Boston area with a portrait session, please do get in touch!
