Patrick & Amanda: Couples: Logan Airport [Boston]

First of all Patrick and Amanda are pretty much one of my favorite couples...and not just because Amanda is my friend and she paid me to say this. They like each other so darn much and are simply fun to be around. The dynamic duo have been doing the "long distance relationship thing" ever since Amanda moved from Maryland to Boston almost 2 years ago. Thankfully, this pair is the exception to the "long distance relationships don't work" mantra. With everything else in their lives, they fully committed to their relationship and managed to squeeze in weekends and holidays together whenever time, finances, and scheduling permitted. But now....(drumroll please) Patrick is done with grad school and has moved to Boston! YAY! This is not an engagement session, but rather a "celebration of togetherness session" and I think it is a perfect idea.  When I asked Amanda where she wanted to shoot, she said "How about the airport? We spent a lot of time there coming and going and I think it is fitting for us." I was a little afraid that Homeland Security would throw us out, but figured "why not try!" Now I know Amanda pretty well, but truly did not expect that she was going to bring half of her shoe collection to this shoot.  It was quite funny and I tried to remember to have her change them as often as possible simply to justify the fact that we had to carry them. Patrick was an AWESOME sport and clearly loves Amanda to death to even entertain the idea of doing the shoot in the first place. There were too many images to choose from so I included a lot..because it's my blog and I can!

They turned some heads in Terminal A!

They danced...poorly!

Normally I would try to carry everything,but Amanda packed like she was going on a trip!That blue bag is just her shoes.

Totally random mirrored gate in the JetBlue Terminal. I saw it the day before and thought it was awesome. Figuring out where they needed to stand so I saw them in the mirrors and not myself or the people passing by was interesting too. They were actually about 15 feet in front of the wall.

Patrick's shot for the cover of  PRESERVATION magazine. He is a Historic Preservationist. (cool, right?) His passion is keeping the integrity of historical buildings and making them into fresh, new, energy efficient buildings. Think the Liberty Hotel in Boston.

This image was actually in a burst of images shoot in succession. When I went through them it was like a dirty flip book because Patrick's left hand was pulling Amanda's dress over her knee. Very funny! (but this is a family blog so you're only seeing one shot!:) )


I like these three images for a variety of reasons. I think they tell an interesting story and are somewhat metaphorical for their relationship. "coming/going" "the fleetingness of time," "togetherness/yet separate." I'm sure I am over analyzing...:) The beautiful scarf was incorporated because it was a gift Patrick gave to Amanda and I thought it was fitting to have it around as much as possible.
