In yesterday’s post, I chronicled our romp through Cambridge, MA, with our infinitely patient, fun, and creative photographer Leigh Miller. We had such a good time — okay, Leigh and I had a great time, and Mr. HC amicably tolerated our wedding-related gabbing — that by the time we were done traipsing through Harvard, the sun was rapidly descending, and we had to scurry to our final location. To conclude our shoot, Mr. HC and I thought we’d take Leigh to the most picturesque of Boston neighborhoods: Beacon Hill.

Hotness ensued.

Beacon Hill is so gorgeous, even the parking spots are photo-worthy. Leigh saw this great fence in an alleyway, and we plopped down in front of it. It’s possible that I’m smiling apologetically at a resident as she was waiting for us to get our plump rear-ends out of her parking space.


I wonder what Mr. HC was thinking here? I’d like to think it was, “I’m so in love with my fiance.” More like it was, “Hmm, what totally inappropriate thing can I say next to make her crack up?”

This is our “let’s rub noses” and be cute look. Miss Jay would be flipping out about my left hand, which seems to be have gone rogue, Cousin It style.

We dated for fifteen years. Could that sign be any more appropriate?

How did you prepare for your engagement photos? Did you learn anything about your camera face from the session? And did you find a sure-fire way to coax a photogenic smile out of you or your fiance?
