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.

Seaport/Fan pier– One of the most photographed spots in Boston!

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.

ABOUT morgan

I work with couples who are laid-back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying themselves, not posing for an elaborate photoshoot.

I'm originally from Duxbury, Massachusetts, a quiet coastal town south of Boston. For 9 years I photographed weddings in between Boston and South Florida, before moving to Baltimore where I now reside with my fiancé, Scott. I now photograph weddings all over Maryland, including in Annapolis and the Eastern Shore.
