A Sunday Morning Stroll Through Boston’s North End

June 11, 2025

There’s something especially sweet about capturing love in a place filled with memories. For Hope and Brendan, Boston’s North End isn’t just a charming backdrop—it’s a chapter of their story. On a quiet Sunday morning in early June, we met at Christopher Columbus Park to begin their engagement session, with the harbor breeze and soft sunlight setting the tone for a relaxed and joyful shoot.

From there, we wandered through the North End’s narrow, brick-lined streets, stopping along the way to soak in the details—historic corners, quiet alleyways, and even a quick break for cappuccinos at one of their favorite cafes. The slow pace suited them perfectly, letting the morning unfold naturally.

We wrapped up the session outside their old apartment on Sheafe Street, the spot where so much of their everyday life together began. It was the perfect full-circle moment—nostalgic, meaningful, and filled with laughter.

It was more than a photo session—it was a walk down memory lane, capturing the love they’ve built and the future they’re dreaming up.

I cannot wait for their early October wedding at the gorgeous Maquam Winery up in Vermont!

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET ELLEN

I grew up in Vermont and now call Boston home, but I'll always feel most like myself outdoors.

Whether I'm hiking, skiing, spending a long weekend along the shores of Lake Champlain, or returning to Maine with my family each summer, those are the places where I recharge. Before becoming a full-time photographer, I spent years teaching middle school. Looking back, I think that's where I learned the skill that matters most in this work: helping people feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll find me planning my next trip to France, getting lost in a good book, cheering on the Boston Bruins, spending time with my family, or wishing I were finally in the right season of life to bring home a dog.
