Some photos from one of the beautiful autumn days in October, at MIT’s Killian Court. This area is an elegant respite from the chaos of the Infinite Corridor, and used to be the front entrance for MIT back in the days when you had to take a boat over from Boston. It was also in this area Livia and Jeff somewhat awkwardly professed their mutual interest over blue chips and guacamole.




This was Livia’s third dress from the wedding day, her dancing dress. I’ve always been a fan of that greco-roman look so I was so happy she decided to do a post-wedding bridal session with me.

Hahahaha

Lindsay had quite an adventure planned out for our Juxtaposition shoot. We started at her place in Cambridge and did some really interesting images in the condo lobby area, then walked around Central Square. We then took the red line to Park Street and explored Dowtown Crossing.
It’s amazing how brazen tourists with their tiny cameras and random photographers with their big cameras act when they see a bride walking down the street. The funniest (and most harmless) people are the middle-aged women with cameraphones. In Downtown Crossing we had several photographers actually following us down the street with their cameras; lots of older men who were probably harmless but creeped me out just the littlest bit with their aggressive nonchalence. It was to the point of obnoxiousness where I would intentionally block the shot if someone was following us. I’m probably in a bunch of some dude’s photos he’s trying to pass off as his own set of bridal portraits on a website somewhere.
