Engagement Photos on the Charles // Julia & Alex

Engagement Photos Along the Charles River and in Cambridge, Massachusetts

Engagement photos along the Charles River and the quiet streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts are always a favorite. The mix of water views, classic architecture, and calm side streets makes it easy to move around and keep things relaxed. It’s a great option for couples who want photos that feel natural and unforced.

We started along the Charles River, where the walking paths and open views give you space to settle in. From there, we wandered through some of Cambridge’s quieter neighborhoods. These streets are perfect for engagement photos because there’s less foot traffic and plenty of simple backdrops that don’t distract from the couple.

Tips for Feeling Comfortable During Engagement Photos

If you’re nervous about being in front of the camera, you’re not alone. A few small things can make a big difference.

First, treat the session like a walk together rather than a photo shoot. Talking, laughing, and moving helps you forget the camera is there. Second, wear something that feels like you. If you’re adjusting your outfit the whole time, it’s hard to relax. And finally, trust that you don’t need to know what to do. I’ll guide you when needed, but the best photos usually happen in the in-between moments.

Engagement sessions are about keeping things simple. A familiar place, a slower pace, and a little space to be yourselves go a long way.
