I'm excited to share my recent experience doing a couples shoot at Benson Park in Hudson, NH. This time I had the pleasure of working with Olga and Jairo, a wonderful couple who are about to celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary!
&nbsp;
We chose Benson Park for the shoot, and let me tell you, it's a dream location for autumn photo shoots. The changing leaves provided a backdrop of vibrant colors that beautifully complemented Olga and Jairo's love for each other. The park was filled with the soft, golden light of the setting sun, creating the perfect atmosphere for capturing their intimate moments (some of my favorite photos below!).
&nbsp;
Now, I want to take a moment to talk about something that's close to my heart. You see, you don't have to be newly engaged or planning a wedding to have a couples shoot. Love is always worth capturing, at every stage of a relationship. Whether you're just starting out or you've been together for decades like Olga and Jairo, a photo shoot is a wonderful way to celebrate your story. It's about creating memories, capturing the essence of your relationship, and having a bit of fun while you're at it.
&nbsp;
So, if you've been thinking about doing a couples shoot, I say go for it. Choose a location that means something to you, whether it's a park where you shared your first kiss, the beach where you spend your summers, or even your own backyard. And remember, it's all about celebrating your love in a way that feels right for you.
&nbsp;
In the end, it was an absolute joy to work with Olga and Jairo. Their love story, like every love story, is unique and beautiful in its own way. And that's what I love about being a photographer &mdash; having the opportunity to capture these moments of love and connection, and to create something that my clients can treasure for years to come.

A Fall Couples Shoot at Benson Park in Hudson, NH

So, as you may have read - I love love. My passion lies in capturing beautiful moments between couples, and there's no better starting point than an engagement session.
&nbsp;
This session is more than just a photo shoot; it's an opportunity for us to get to know each other and to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. So, I've put together some tips to help you prepare for this exciting experience. Let's dive right in!
&nbsp;
First things first, let&rsquo;s talk about your outfits. The key is to wear something that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Remember, these photos are a reflection of you and your love, so your outfit should do the same. Coordinate your looks but avoid being too matchy-matchy. If you are unsure, bring a few options and we can decide together. And remember, your comfort is paramount. If you feel good, it will shine through in your photos.
&nbsp;
Next up, let's discuss location. I encourage you to think about places that hold special meaning for you as a couple. Maybe it's where you had your first date, or perhaps a spot you love to visit together. The more personal the location, the more unique and meaningful your photos will be. I have a list of favorite spots that I can share if you need inspiration, but ultimately, the choice is yours.
&nbsp;
Lastly, don't worry too much about posing. I know it can feel a bit awkward, especially if you're not used to being in front of a camera. But that's what I'm here for! I'll guide you through the whole process, making it as natural and fun as possible. I'll provide some prompts to capture those candid moments, but the most important thing is to be yourself.
&nbsp;
Remember, this session is all about celebrating your love story. It's about capturing the joy, the laughter, and the quiet moments in between. So, relax, have fun and trust in the process.
&nbsp;
I can't wait to work with you and capture the start of this exciting chapter in your lives. Let's create some magic together!

Hey there, love birds! I'm excited to share my guide to the top five unique wedding venues in Boston, Massachusetts. Each of these places has a special charm that sets them apart from the rest. Let's dive in.
&nbsp;
First up, we have the <a href="https://www.bpl.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Public Library</a>. This isn't just a place for book lovers, but also for those who appreciate architecture and history. The library's grandeur, with its stunning murals, marble staircase, and courtyard, makes it a perfect backdrop for both intimate and large weddings. The best time to wed here? Autumn, when the courtyard's trees turn fiery red, creating an atmosphere that's both romantic and magical.
&nbsp;
Next, we have the <a href="https://www.larzanderson.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Larz Anderson Auto Museum</a>. Yes, you read it right - an auto museum! If you're a couple who loves all things vintage and unique, this place is for you. With its collection of antique cars serving as a backdrop, this venue can host both indoor and outdoor weddings, from elopements to larger gatherings. Spring and summer weddings here are truly special, with the museum's lush green grounds in full bloom.
&nbsp;
The third spot on our list is the <a href="https://arboretum.harvard.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arnold Arboretum</a>. It's an ideal venue for nature-loving couples who dream of an outdoor wedding. The Arboretum's vast landscape, filled with a variety of trees and flowers, offers a serene and picturesque setting. Spring, when the lilacs are in full bloom, is the best time to get married here, but each season has its charm.
&nbsp;
Next, we have the <a href="https://www.afhboston.org/event-venue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Artists for Humanity EpiCenter</a>, an eco-friendly art gallery that gives back to the community. If you're a couple who values sustainability and creativity, this is your place. The gallery's modern, industrial vibe can accommodate large weddings. Any time of the year is perfect for a wedding here, as the indoor space is versatile and can be dressed up as you wish.
&nbsp;
Lastly, the <a href="https://www.neaq.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New England Aquarium</a> brings a unique and fun twist to your wedding day. Imagine saying 'I Do' with penguins, sea turtles, and colorful fish as your witnesses! This venue is ideal for medium to large weddings, and it's perfect anytime of the year.

Top 5 Unique Wedding Venues in Boston, MA

Every couple wants their wedding to be a picture-perfect event, a day where every tiny detail comes together to create a joyful and memorable experience. One of the key elements in capturing these magical moments is having a professional photographer. Now, you might be questioning, 'Why should I hire a professional when I've got friends and family who can snap photos?' Let's delve into the reasons why a professional photographer is a valuable addition to your wedding.
&nbsp;
Firstly, the quality of the photos. A professional photographer brings a lot more to the table than just a high-end camera. They have spent years honing their craft, understanding the dynamics of light, perfecting the art of composition, and developing an eye for capturing those candid moments that make your wedding unique. They know how to make the ordinary look extraordinary.
&nbsp;
Next, a professional photographer knows how to tell a story through pictures. Your wedding is more than a collection of isolated moments. It's a narrative of your love, a story unfolding from the nervous anticipation of the morning preparations, through the solemnity of the ceremony, to the joyful celebration of the reception. A professional photographer knows how to weave these moments together to create a beautiful and cohesive story that reflects your special day.
&nbsp;
Let's not forget the ability to put people at ease. Weddings can be stressful, and not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera. A professional photographer has the experience and people skills to help everyone relax, which results in natural and authentic photos. They know when to blend into the background to capture intimate moments, and when to step forward to organise those all-important group shots.
&nbsp;
Lastly, the post-production process. After the wedding, a professional photographer spends hours selecting the best photos, editing them to perfection, and presenting them in a beautiful format. They ensure that your wedding photos aren't just images, but treasured memories that you'll look back on for years to come.
&nbsp;
In conclusion, hiring a professional photographer for your wedding is an investment worth making. It gives you peace of mind, knowing that your precious memories are in the hands of an expert. So, when planning your wedding budget, remember to prioritize a professional photographer - because some things are truly priceless.

The Significance of Hiring a Professional Photographer for Your Wedding

We couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture our wedding day. During the planning process, Caitlin was flexible and thoughtful, taking time to understand exactly what we wanted. On the day itself, she made us feel instantly at ease. The photos were 100% "us" — no cringeworthy, staged shots here! I'm SO glad that we found Caitlin. We'll treasure these photos forever!

We have now had 3 separate photoshoots with Cait and without fail the photos come out stellar every time. We’ve done an engagement shoot, our wedding, and an anniversary shoot and each one has perfectly captured our energy. I’m usually nervous for photoshoots but shoots with Cait feel super casual and fun. Almost like you’re just hanging out. Her eye for detail and ability to capture genuine candid moments is incredible!

Caitlin and team were a literal dream come true! From our engagement shoot, to meeting over ideas for the wedding, to the wedding day itself, this team has been nothing short of incredible.

You will find the about page from my existing website between the “” below. You can use this section primarily for tone of voice and style as opposed to content. Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language


"I’m Caitlin!
But most people call me Cait. And I’ll just come right out and say it — I love love.

I’ve been taking photos for as long as I can remember (I think I started around age 5). I now specialize in wedding photography and video, engagement shoots and couples portraits. In my free time, I love exploring my new home of Massachusetts with my wife. I’m a Phoenix transplant and Boston feels like a new playground. Talk about a beautiful backdrop for a portrait session!"
