COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY INFO
WHAT IS A COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION?
These sessions typically celebrate engagements, anniversaries, babymoons, or just because!
THE PROCESS
When you two close your eyes and picture your engagement session- what kind of clothes are you wearing and what do you see? Are you wearing a summer dress and sandals or more layers with boots? Are you walking by tulips on the ground with potential boats sailing in the background or do you see vibrant red and orange leaves and maybe cute pumpkins laid out on the doors of the Beacon Hill homes? I'll be working with you closely to pick your ideal setting (urban/beach/rustic) whether that's in New England or across the pond in Europe.
WHAT ARE COUPLES SESSIONS WITH YOU LIKE?
They are FUN! Seriously it is my super power to make the most shy or awkward couple feel confident & comfortable throughout the entire session. I do more prompts over poses to let your natural personalities shine through the photos and will never make you feel stiff or cheesy. My photography style is very classic & candid and my editing style is that timeless vibrant true to color look that captures the setting naturally.

We first lived together in East Boston and it only made since to take our photos there. Thank you Meghan Lynch for your amazing eye.
FAQS
• WHAT TIME DO COUPLES PHOTO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
I always photograph sessions during golden hour. The light is prettiest 2 hours before sunset and 2 hours after sunrise. For example, if sunset is at 7:30pm, we'll usually plan to start around 5pm. That being said, based on the location of the sun and tendency towards crowds some locations require a specific shoot time frame in order for you to have the best experience & photos possible.
• CAN I BOOK OUR COUPLES SESSION DURING THE WEEKEND?
During busy wedding season (May-November) I don't book couples sessions on the weekends since they are reserved for my traditional weddings! That being said though if it's busy season and I don't have a wedding scheduled on the date you inquire about then we can absolutely shoot on the weekend! In the off season (December-April) weekend couples shoots are totally fine!
• WHERE SHOULD OUR SESSION TAKE PLACE?
Think of a spot that is meaningful to you and your significant other. This could be your favorite park or one of the spots you first met. Some other options could be an Urban/City, Beach/Ocean, or Rustic/Mountainous backdrop. If you're feeling a more lifestyle activity based session, this could be baking at your house, playing a sport together, hiking trips, camping, PYO at a farm, going to an amusement park etc. I’m here to capture YOUR love story so I’ll tag along for any shoot that represents you two best! If you still need specific location suggestions, I’m at your service :)
• WHAT IF IT IS CALLING FOR RAIN ON OUR SESSION DAY?
Rainy engagement shoots are super romantic too cozying up under an umbrella, but if the weather is looking rainy and you are looking for those beautiful golden hour photos then we can absolutely switch to another date that works for the both of us. There is no rescheduling fee!
• HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I GET?
This varies per session based on weather, outfit changes, and locations but typically your average couples session gallery will have 100 images minimum.
• CAN WE BRING OUR PETS?
YES! I love animals and totally understand they are part of the family. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and have done lots of shoots with cats, dogs, horses, etc. There is a little extra planning for sessions with your furry friends but 100% doable!
• HOW MANY OUTFITS SHOULD I BRING?
One outfit is absolutely fine, but you’re more than welcome to bring two. Some people like to have one outfit that is dressy and one that is more casual, but it’s totally up to you two.
• WE'VE LOOKED OVER YOUR GALLERIES & WANT TO BOOK YOU! HOW DO WE SECURE OUR DATE?
1. Fill out the contact form 2. We will chat and decide the shoot location, date, and time 3. You'll both sign the contract 4. You pay the non-refundable retainer (50% of your session price) to secure your date 5. Your second payment is due on shoot day and we have an AMAZING SESSION! 6. You get sneak peaks within 48 hours. 7. Your full gallery is delivered within 2 weeks of your session date!
• ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW?
Find outfits that compliment each other, but don’t match. Wear whatever you feel best in and 100% comfortable. If you choose a rustic or beach location I always suggest bringing an extra pair of shoes (sandals, sneakers, hiking boots) so you don’t have to get your nice shoes dirty while walking to the spot.
• CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP ME?
I'm a big believer in capturing real moments and promoting natural beauty so I don't do photoshop requests that change the way you'd look on your best day. For example I don't ever do any photoshopping of body alterations such as changing hair color, changing shape of nose/eyes/body to be bigger or smaller.If there is a certain cosmetic edit you want done it can be outsourced to Retouch-Up.com based on their website pricing.
I've completed a photoshop course so I am a pro at the following complimentary edits I can provide if you'd like- no biggie if you don't want anything touched.
- Removing distractions
- I'll get rid of exit signs, hair elastics and people photobombing in the background of a photo
- Taming flyaway hairs that ya know decided to blow under your nose making it seem like you have a mustache
- Swapping heads and eyes: Think I'm going to delete an amazing photo just cause someone blinked- think again! I can open their eyes like MAGIC
- I can edit out that teenage sized zit that decided to bless you on wedding day
- Blending that awkward sunburn you got while relaxing at the beach days before your wedding
- Make ring shots POP & SPARKLE
I just like to give my clients 100% confidence that if life gets messy or a zit decides to bless you on wedding day you have no reason to worry whatsoever.
IMPORTANT DATES TO KEEP IN MIND
BEST TIME FOR THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS
Cherry Blossom Season: Beacon Hill, the Esplanade, the Arnold Arboretum ( Peters Hill section) and the Brookline Reservoir explode in beautiful pink flowers late April to early May while the lilacs bloom at the Arnold Arboretum in early May. For 2021, they had bloomed from April 10 to May 8th, but it fluctuates every year depending on weather.
BEST TIME FOR TULIP SEASON
The tulip fiends at Wicked Tulips in Exeter RI was open from April 22nd 2021 to May 8, 2021.
BEST TIME FOR LUPINE SEASON
Lupines usually go into full bloom in mid-June in Sugar Hill New Hampshire.
BEST TIME FOR FALL FOLIAGE
Peak foliage in New England varies every year so I always monitor the Foliage Maps online. In years past Massachusetts peak ran from Sept. 30 until Oct.18th and New Hampshire foliage was great from Sept. 22-Oct.13.
JORDAN & GABY
Meghan was beyond incredible capturing photos of our engagement! The pictures turned out amazing and we’ve gotten many compliments from our family and friends that we’ve shared them with. Meghan was communicative leading up to the proposal and with setting everything up. She is very personable and easygoing, and had some very creative ideas for the photos, which made our session extra enjoyable. We highly recommend her for any photo session!
ABBY & DILLON
Thanks to Meghan, our engagement went off without a hitch and we have the most beautiful photos to remember that night! From the very beginning of the process, Meghan was a great partner in planning and scouting our spot. The night of the proposal, Meghan could not have made us more comfortable in front of the camera. She even stayed with us over the time we booked just to make sure we got the shots we wanted. Meghan’s photos all came out so beautifully, and she captured the emotion of the moment so well. I could not be happier with the photos she sent us, and we have been so proud to share these professional, impressive photos with friends and loved ones in the time since our special day. I would recommend Meghan enthusiastically to anyone looking to capture an engagement or wedding! Her work speaks for itself, but her professionalism and talent really shine when you work with her!
