A Romantic Boston Story: From the North End to Park Street Church

Boston has a way of weaving love stories right into its cobblestone streets — and that’s exactly what happened for Elsie and Thaddeus during their North End engagement session and their wedding day at Park Street Church.

North End Engagement Session

We started their engagement session wandering through the North End — one of Boston’s most romantic and historic neighborhoods. The mix of narrow brick alleyways, warm light, and the buzz of Italian restaurants made the perfect backdrop for the two of them.

We stopped by a few of my favorite hidden corners and ended near the waterfront just as the sun began to dip behind the skyline.

The session was simple — no props or posing — just the two of them being themselves, laughing, holding hands, and enjoying an evening together in the heart of Boston. That’s my favorite part about engagement sessions: they tell the story of a relationship in an honest, unfiltered way.

Wedding Day at Park Street Church

A few months later, I had the honor of photographing their wedding at Park Street Church, one of Boston’s most historic churches. Set right on the corner of Boston Common, the church’s tall steeple and classic architecture made the perfect setting for their ceremony.

The day was full of emotion — quiet moments of anticipation and laughter and smiles shared between family and friends. After the ceremony, we stepped out onto Boston Common for portraits amidst the hum of the city.

Their reception continued the celebration with good eats and treats. The couple then made their exit to their vehicle surrounded by a fun send off.
