I get asked all the time about my favorite Boston engagement session locations, so here is my list! The locations are divided up between Boston, North Shore, and South Shore/ South of Boston. It also includes a variety of scenery, from beach, to nature/greenery, to city streets. I’ve shot at almost all of these locations, but included a few that I have not had the opportunity to shoot at yet and would love to!
Boston Area Engagement Locations
Public Garden– A Boston classic! I’ve done many shoots here and I could never truly get sick of it.
Beacon Hill– For the classic Boston city streets look.
Esplanade– Can be combined with Beacon Hill and/or Public Garden
Copley/ Boston Public Library
Seaport/Fan pier– One of the most photographed spots in Boston!
Charlestown– This is a fun location because we can get a lot of variety between the Bunker Hill Monument, the quaint streets of Charlestown, and the Navy Yard with Boston skyline views.
Harry and Chantal- Charlestown Engagement
Castle Island/ M St Beach (South Boston)- An amazing beach without ever having to leave Boston! Can be combined with some shots around Southie.
Arnold Arboretum (Jamaica Plain)- The Arboretum is gorgeous year-round, something different is always in bloom.
Eileen and Josh- Arnold Arboretum Engagement
Piers Park (East Boston)- For amazing skyline views from East Boston. I’ve actually never shot here!
North Shore Engagement Locations
Crane Beach (Ipswich MA)- I’ve never shot here but would love to! I am loyal to the South Shore but I’ll admit this is a gorgeous beach.
Middlesex Fells (Stoneham, MA)- This is an interesting location on a pond for a woods/nature feel.
South Shore Engagement Locations
Duxbury Beach (Duxbury, MA)- Ok I’m biased because I grew up 5 mins down the road but my favorite location of all time. The best beach in Mass. Ask about other locations in Duxbury to combine this with.
World’s End (Hingham, MA)- There is a small entry fee to get in here but it’s totally worth it! The scenery is so diverse and it is aptly named World’s End.
Bay Farm (Duxbury, MA)- If you are looking for more nature and less beach, but still with water, this is a great option.
Scituate Lighthouse (Scituate, MA)
Borderland State Park (Easton, MA)
Cape Cod/ Further South of Boston Engagement Locations
Dennis Beaches (Dennis, MA)
Grey’s Beach/ Bass hole boardwalk (Yarmouth, MA)
Newport Mansions/ Cliff Walk (Newport, RI)
