I introduce you to Yeawon and Ming-Jen and their monster blog post! These two are insanely into each other, and were one of the easiest couples to shoot to date! I typically like to just follow people around, not really pose them or give much direction because I feel that is how you get people looking their most natural. Ming-Jen contacted me because they are getting married in Taiwan and Korea this summer, and they wanted their friends and family back home to see where they live and what they do for fun. We hit up all of their favorite spots around the city to really show their friends/family how they live.

We started at Harvard because that is where they went/go. (I say went/go because Ming-Jen went and he’s an architect and Yeawon is going to study law!)

After hanging out on the steps for a little warm up, we headed over to L.A. Burdicks for some yummy hot cocoa. On the way there we stopped at a couple of spots around Harvard Square:

Ah, even though it was a nice sunny spring day (rare in Boston!) we stopped for some hot chocolate.

Ming-Jen informed me that we were just steps from where the lovebirds actually met for the first time! I obviously had to go check it out and I wanted to get a few snaps of them right in that spot. The story is this: Yeawon had just came to town and it was raining, she had all of her luggage with her and was standing right outside here holding a map, ah o! Ming-Jen had just walked outside and asked her if she needed some help, awhhhnnn..adorbs.

In case you are wondering why they are hysterically laughing in the first couple shots, I happen to have a very hilarious assistant, Rob. =)

We then took the T over to the MIT Chapel.

Ming-Jen told me all about the crazy architecture of the MIT Chapel and the surrounding buildings. Did you know that there is a small moat around the chapel that continues inside so that the walls sparkle as the water moves and the sunlight hits it? Beautiful.

^*sigh*^

Then we made our way to Kendall Square through what Yeawon told me was called the “infinite corridor” it’s good to know for the winter that there is an inside route from the big MIT building on Mass Ave all the way to Kendall Sq, through 6 buildings I think she said!

I love this series.

They wanted to go over to Beacon Hill because they really admire the architecture over there, and its quite quintessentially Boston. Perfect spot for their friends and family to get a feel for their lives here.

And to close out our whirlwind tour, we went over to the Boston Public Gardens for the final portion of our shoot.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this journey with them as much as I did.

Good luck with your wedding(s), guys!

xoxo
