I met Helen and Jason this past weekend at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University in Jamaica Plain, after rescheduling due to rainy weather in Boston, and found we were welcome with beautiful, spring weather and lush flowers in full bloom! Helen wore a beautiful heart-shaped diamond necklace; a gift from her fiance’ Jason and a symbol of their love. I couldn’t help but notice how Helen’s face lit up when he looked at her, and the way Jason kept fixing her hair and pausing to move it away from her face. So sweet! Their adorable dog of 4 and 1/2 years, Ozzy, joined us for their engagement session (doubling as a mini family photo session!). He is part of the family after all! Helen and Jason’s videographer, Elena Coyne, joined for part of their engagement session and snapped a quick iPhone photo of me while photographing the three of them by the water (picture on the left below). Amazingly, the photo I took on the right captures Ozzy licking his nose at the same time! Helen and Jason’s personalities really came through during their engagement session; fun and playful filled with endearing moments, class and tenderness. I have no doubt that their upcoming wedding at the Commander’s Mansion (with reception at Hei La Moon Chinese restaurant in Boston) will be even more exciting and enchanting to document!
