Nathan and Younoki
By Ken Luallen | April 13, 2009
Nathan and Younoki married on a bright, breezy afternoon in Duke Gardens, a spot they were dedicated to getting. It’s in extremely high demand but the management will only accept a reservation up to one year in advance. A year ago Nathan and Younoki camped outside in the rain for 24 hours *before* their wedding date so they could be at the front of the line when the office opened! It was a wise move because they weren’t the only couple waiting through the night.
I learned something at the wedding too. In Korean culture it’s good luck if you spot a pair of ducks on your wedding day because ducks also mate for life.

Blair and Maggie shared their connection – and their good looks – with me as we explored the campus of MIT. Blair is an urban planning grad student there and we took advantage of all the great afternoon light bouncing around the buildings.

Tim and Stephanie

After 17 years of marriage – and a raft of kids – Tim and Stephanie still have the most beautiful spirit between them. I was honored to pull them away from their busy lives for a few minutes to photograph it.

Micah and Marianna

My friends Micah and Marianna are fully enjoying their first year of marriage. We played around on Boston Common to add a few more images to their collection. I love that I get to photograph my couples at different stages of their lives and their journeys together.

Looking good, Ken. And thanks a lot for the JPEG conversion advice at the end of last year. Not many people would be willing to take the time. Have a great season. I look forward to what it will bring for all of us! – Nate Kinnison

High over Boston on Mission Hill we caught a little sunlight and a few hints of Rob and Heather’s life together. They have unmistakable peace.

The Space Between
By Ken Luallen | March 15, 2009
Each time I shoot a couple they essentially give me permission to enter the space between them. I believe this is a sacred place; being there and seeing the beauty they share privately is an incredibly humbling and rewarding experience. I do my best to tread lightly and honor them with images that reflect a fraction of what I witnessed.
Showing the inside of relationships this way is the heart of my photography. This year I’ll be focusing much more on finding deeper and more authentic ways of translating these experiences into images. I hope you enjoy the journey. Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting images of couples at different stages of their partnerships. Perhaps you’ll recognize something in their connections that reminds you of how great your own relationships are.
First up, a brief impromptu session with Todd and Susannah, whose wedding in Concord, MA you’ll see later this summer. There’s a great story to be shared and we are all very excited for it.

And an honor to work with you Ken. You made it easy to be at ease. We feel so lucky to have you join us in June. I am so satisfied by these. I feel that Todd and I now have our photos, now we just can’t wait for you to capture our nears and dears. Thank you.
Very Best,
Susannahposted by Susannah on March 20th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Very Impressive. Beautiful.
Do you know who makes those shoes she is wearing? Silly question but it is burning at my bridal desires… great pics!
