Engagement & Couples Photography

 

Love is love is love, and we love shooting love stories! Engagement and couples photography is our signature genre, because it gives us creative freedom and an opportunity to make magic. Setting up an artistic couple photoshoot and creating engagement photos that wouldn’t look out of place in Vogue magazine is what we do! Whether you’re in the greater Boston area, New York City or beyond, we’re excited to work with you to tell your love story.

 

An Engagement Shoot IS NOT a pre-Wedding Shoot!


In fact, it can have nothing to do with your wedding photos. This is our chance to focus on the two of you when no one else is around. It’s about documenting your love and how you express it in artistic engagement photos. Not sure what we mean? Have a look at some of the shots we’ve taken in the past (just scroll down) and start daydreaming about your ideal couple photoshoot. Let’s find a concept or make one up together! 

 

 

Get in touch to get started


There are important differences between wedding photography and couple photoshoots. Wedding photography is really event photography, with the couple at the center of it all. Weddings have flow and action, with a getting ready process, a ceremony, group and couple portraits, first dance and celebrations. An engagement or a couples shoot is by definition a shoot that allows for more freedom, more time to to play and create photos that stand out and express your essence as a couple. These couple photoshoots are an intimate way of exploring who you are as individuals and as a couple, expressing an intimate, artistic conversation between the two of you.

How Do We Do It?

Many of our clients tell us that they would not have done an engagement shoot at all had they not come across Mind On Photography. Why is that? Because this isn’t your typical engagement photography experience and we aren’t your typical engagement photographer. You can count on us to work with you to bring your vision to life, whatever and wherever that may be.


How do we do it? The first step is up to you! You choose a vibe: Classic? Artistic? Goofy? Then we decide on the perfect location together, whether that’s a Cape Cod Beach, proposing under the falling snow in New Hampshire, or visiting multiple locations in Boston throughout the day. 


Because we know you’re just dying to see the photos, we make sure we edit them to match your tastes and then get them to you ASAP! That’s the Mind On Photography way.

"Artistic & Magazine-Worthy Photos"

We loved working with Ivan for our engagement photos. He was so accommodating with everything. We love our final photos, they were artistic and thoughtful. We also loved the way he edited our photos, they felt like they belonged in a magazine!”

"We Felt Comfortable Throughout The Whole Process"

"My partner and I chose Ivan for our engagement photoshoot after going through several websites and portfolios - we really liked his editing style and finish. There was some back and forth in arranging the shoot, and despite a major thunderstorm which caused power outages, Ivan came to shoot the next day - greatly appreciate his commitment. We thoroughly enjoyed the shoot process, neither of us have done something like this before so we were worried it would be awkward - but he made us feel so comfortable and happy during the shoot, it really reaffirmed how much love my partner and I have for each other. We absolutely LOVED the pictures and our friends and family had so much praise for them - the colours, the editing, the location, the angles - everything turned out so beautiful. He captured us in such a natural way. So many of our friends commented that we were captured as our true selves and I couldn't agree more. Some of the photos looked like they were straight out of a movie thanks to Ivan's magic. The spots he chose were very picturesque as well. I truly got emotional seeing the end result, thank you Ivan for capturing our love in such a special way!"

"More important, he was able ... to represent us in a natural, goofy, and fun way!"

I came across Mind On Photography's work on Instagram and started to like his photographing style. When my fiancé and I decided to have some memories of Boston on pictures, we contacted Ivan. It's a pleasure working with him, not just because he is very professional and creative as a photographer, but also due to his pleasant personality. More important, he is able to bring that part of personality into the final products of his work, and represent us in a natural, goofy, and fun way. If you like this style, Ivan is the right photographer to go.
