Badass Boston bar engagement at JJ Foley’s South End
A playful, fashion-forward editorial engagement shoot behind the bar at Boston’s iconic J.J. Foley’s in the South End. Take over your favorite dive for your couples’ photo session! 🍻 Top-rated, woman-owned studio with 15+ years of experience in Boston.
Taking over an iconic South End bar for an engagement session turns ordinary portraits into gritty-glam romance. These cuties posed over pints and bar bites. Sunnies, suit, silk white dress and a whole lot of attitude.
This editorial couples session leaned hard into high-flash strobe and film-like color grading… we are so here for the bold, badass images and the fun fashion that this couple brought to the shoot!
Congrats, A+A, it was a blast to share your love story in this oh-so-Boston-esque engagement shoot.
From moody close-ups to playful behind-the-bar candids… their gallery reads like a mini fashion spread and a favorite night out rolled into one. 📸 🕶️ 🍻
Can we get a round of applause for the iconic JJ Foley’s for letting this creative chaos unfold in their historic Boston bar?
Bride on the bar… couple filling up their own pints… a custom cake…. they even reserved us the best seat in the house.
Bless this Boston bar! JJ’s knows a good time!
Yep… this was more than a shoot - this was a whole vibe.
You heard it here first, Boston babes: if you want downtown engagement photos that feel unique, stylish, and a little (or a lot?) rebellious, this is your sign to wear your best suit and littlewhitedress to the local dive!
It’s in the details, it’s in the fashion, it’s in planning a shoot that feels totally, completely, 100% you.
We love this non-traditional approach to engagement photos. Who needs to pose in a pretty park or a gorgeous garden, when you could be drinking beers in the best bar? Make your shoot a party. We’re so down for this!
