Romantic, Modern Engagement Photography | Boston, MA | Shauna and Ciaran

Lindsay Flanagan — Thu, 10 May 2012 01:15:36 +0000

Shauna, Ciaran and I met up at the Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill in Boston for their engagement shoot this past weekend. They brought along their two year old daughter, Eve, who is so adorable. Can you believe that Shauna said that her and Ciaran weren't photogenic??

Here's the story of how they met and their engagement in Shauna's words:

Both coming from Ireland and our hometown about 300 miles apart, Ciaran and I met through some mutual friends in 2003 at a BBQ, we eventually got together in the summer of 2007 when at last we were both mutually single for the first time. Our friends said it was inevitable and no one was surprised when we got together (actually I do believe there were a few bets placed that summer on the fact that we eventually would!). Eve came along in December 2009, combining the best of both of us, she reminded us how right we are for each other. In October 2011 Eve and Ciaran arrived home one evening, I heard some mumbling and then Eve shout "NO!" and throw something on the floor (in true Eve style). I went into check what was going on. Eve picked up the bag and handed it to me. There was a handwritten message attached from Ciaran and on the bag it read "Mammy, will you marry Daddy?" Helping me open the box, Eve insisted on wearing "Mama's Pretty" on her thumb. We celebrated with our friends at an Irish Festival that weekend.

I'm so looking forward to celebrating with Shauna and Ciaran in September!

Kim and Aaron | New Hampshire Rustic Wedding Photography | Mills Falls

Kim and Aaron were married at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Tilton, New Hampshire, with their reception following at Mills Falls Inn in Meredith, New Hampshire. Thanks so much to the amazing Zev Fisher for having me along to second shoot! Zev brought the couple to a cute, little diner on the way to the reception for portraits. The employees were super nice and let us spend a few minutes in there shooting away and donated the delicious milkshake too!

The ring bearers wore personalized converse sneakers -- so cute!

Boston Wedding Photographer | Hampshire House | Jody and Jay

Jody and Jay were married over the weekend at the Hampshire House in Boston. Hampshire House is a beautiful venue tucked away above the iconic Boston bar, Cheers. Yes, the weather provided us with a little more wind than we could bear, but Jody was a good sport and we ventured out into the streets of Beacon Hill to snap a few portraits. Jody was rocking a classic, gorgeous Pricilla of Boston gown (she snagged one before they went out of business!), which went perfectly with the feel of the venue. Congratulations Jody and Jay!

Vendors: Florist - Salvy the Florist | DJ - DJ Raffi | Ceremony and Cocktail Hour Music - Anders Vercelli Jazz | Favors - Truffles for a Cause

Jody's cousin sang the first dance song, and she was amazing...

I love Jody's reaction during her Dad's speech...

Time for dinner...

...and then cake!

The night concluded with a flash mob to LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It", which was a huge hit!

Their online gallery will be available soon! Check http://lindsayflanagan.nextproof.com/galleries/JodyJayWedding for more photos from their day!

Elizabeth and Benny's beautiful New York City wedding was published in The Knot New York Magazine last month. Thanks to all who helped make this happen, including the amazingly talented Shawn Rabideau who coordinated and designed their entire day.

Boston Newborn Photographer | Madeleine Grace

Madeleine Grace arrived on January 30th and her parents, Alison and Jordan, couldn't be happier! Madeleine is the definition of cuteness. She must have known I was coming because she was definitely prepared to sleep all day. I even got to hold her for a little bit, which reminded me how small Oliver was once (tears!). Congratulations Alison and Jordan!

Christopher and Arzo were married at St. Aloysius Church in Caldwell, NJ with their reception following at Maritime Parc in Liberty State Park. The sun sets early this time of year, but thankfully Chris and Arzo were good sports and we willing to go outside in the cold for a few quick night time portraits! Congratulations Chris and Arzo!

Boston Engagement Photographer | Boston Public Library | Jody and Jay

Lindsay Flanagan — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:56:02 +0000

I met up with Jody and Jay at the Boston Public Library last week on a rainy morning for their engagement shoot. We had a lot of fun exploring the library together and then ventured out into the elements for a few exterior shots. I love these images and can't wait for the wedding at the Hampshire House in February!

Connecticut Wedding Photographer | Pomfret Chapel and Inn at Woodstock Hill | Jim and Sonya

Lindsay Flanagan — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 00:41:25 +0000

Jim and Sonya were married at the Pomfret School Chapel, with their reception following at the Inn at Woodstock Hill in Woodstock, CT. Their wedding day fell on what I'm pretty sure was a record setting weather event - the blizzard of 2011, which took out power for days from New York and CT up through Maine. We probably should have known something like this was going to happen because we scheduled and rescheduled their engagement shoot 3 times because of rain, and then it wound up raining on the engagement shoot date anyway! Thankfully, Jim and Sonya are both amazing, fun people and completely rolled with the punches on their wedding day. They were even willing to run out into the snow for some really fun portraits. Many thanks to my second shooter, Jason Weaver.

Congratulations Jim and Sonya!
