ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
And Locations
Revere Beach – Revere, MA
first public beach in the us
Established in 1896 and designed by landscape architect Charles Eliot, it became the first public beach in the United States and later designation as a National Historic Landmark.
Wide open sand, gentle surf, and long walking paths make it a favorite for locals year-round. Just five miles north of Boston, Revere Beach stretches for three miles in a perfect crescent along the Atlantic.
Beacon Hill – Boston, MA
ACORN STREET

Acorn Street sits quietly in the heart of Beacon Hill, lined with original brick row houses, gas lanterns, and famously uneven cobblestones that have been preserved for nearly 200 years. It feels less like a city street and more like stepping into a photograph from another century.
Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park – Boston, MA
Landfill becomes a park
Created in the mid-1970s as part of Boston’s effort to clean up the harbor and restore public access to the waterfront, Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park opened in 1976 on filled land along the North End. With its iconic vine-covered pergola, open green lawn, marina views, and harbor sunsets, the park offers couples a scenic mix of greenery and waterfront charm in the heart of the city.

Not just for engagements
