A Boston Love Story: Couples Photo Sessions for Visitors
There’s something cinematic about walking hand-in-hand through beautiful Boston. The warm morning light drifting over brownstone rooftops. Gas-lit lanterns flickering on Beacon Hill. The hush of the Public Garden before the city wakes.
For visiting couples—whether you're celebrating an engagement, anniversary, or simply soaking in time together—Boston offers a storybook backdrop for timeless, editorial-style portraits.
Our Boston couples shoots are more than just a photo session. They're a curated experience, built for travelers who want to hold onto the magic of a place and time together.
We bring the local knowledge. You bring the chemistry.
Your Photographer & Your Guide
As Boston locals who know every scenic corner, secret alley, and lighting trick the city has to offer, we’ll craft a route that feels like your story. Whether you’re dreaming of old-world charm, sleek skyline shots, or something whimsical and romantic, we tailor the experience to your aesthetic and vibe.
Sessions are relaxed, well-paced, and always styled with intention—whether that’s wind in your hair on the waterfront, or laughing over coffee on a hidden brick patio in the North End.
Want to get pampered beforehand? We partner with Zena Rose, Boston’s most-loved boutique salon, located just steps from our favorite Beacon Hill locations. Hair and makeup from our besties at Zena Rose can be arranged to give you that effortless polish that photographs beautifully—even after a flight or a long travel day.
Mention that you’ll want beauty services on booking with us, and we’ll arrange the hair + makeup appointment for you. We’re your one stop shop!
What to Wear for a Boston Shoot
Outfits should feel like an extension of you, elevated just enough to feel special. We often recommend pieces that move—dresses with a little flow, shirts with structure, rich tones that contrast Boston’s brick and granite tones. In warmer months, soft neutrals, linen, and light layers capture the airy beauty of the city. In fall or winter, we lean into textures: wool coats, scarves, earthy tones.
If you’re packing light or unsure, we’re happy to consult ahead of your shoot. Consider bringing two options to the shoot—one dressy, one more casual—and we’ll guide you based on location and light.
Where We’ll Go
Some couples love Boston’s icons: the Public Garden’s bridge and pond, Acorn Street’s historic cobblestones, the graceful curves of Commonwealth Avenue. Others want something fresh—like the Seaport’s dramatic skyline views, a city wander in the South End, or industrial textures near Fort Point.
We’ll map a custom route based on your schedule, what you're drawn to visually, and when the light is best. Most sessions take place in the golden hour (shortly after sunrise or just before sunset), when the city glows with a kind of quiet magic.
From Booking to Final Gallery
Once you inquire, we’ll connect to understand what kind of session you’re imagining. Whether it’s a surprise proposal, engagement session, anniversary, portraits, or something more playful and editorial, we tailor every detail—from timeline to tones. You'll receive a digital gallery of hand-edited, high-resolution images ready to download, print, or share.
We also offer luxury prints and custom albums that can be shipped internationally, should you want to remember your time in Boston in a tangible, lasting way.
Questions from Our Traveling Couples
How far in advance should we book?
Booking at least one month ahead is best, especially if you’d like salon styling at Zena Rose. But we can often accommodate last-minute requests, depending on the season.
What if the weather turns?
We keep flexible plans. Rainy day alternatives include covered locations with gorgeous light, or rescheduling if your travel dates allow.
Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
Wholeheartedly. We photograph all kinds of love and all kinds of couples with care, joy, and creativity.
Can you help with a surprise proposal?
Yes. We’ve helped plan dozens of surprise moments—from quiet parks to city rooftops—and are discreet, calm, and camera-ready when it counts.
