Borrowed & Blue - Sweet Home Nuptials in Cambridge By Tracy Rodriguez Photography

One of the most amazing things happens at intimate weddings like this one, I get to spend quality, uninterrupted time with the bride and groom. Lots of it. Sometimes even a full hour just for portraits. And if you've ever worked on a wedding day planner, you'll understand just how much time that is. Not only does the couple get time for just the two of them {well, three of us I should say but often I'm way away shooting telephoto just suggesting little directions from time to time} but they also get to be more relaxed for portraits because we aren't trying to squeeze them in in 20 minutes. It's relaxing for them and photographs like a dream for me. Now, you add in two of the most genuine, kind hearted, gorgeous people, a charming Cambridge backdrop and the love and support of their closest friends and family and you get this beautiful day. I was thrilled to photograph it because working with two lovely lovebirds like Mariana and Michael was exactly why I got into wedding photography from the start.

If you'd like to read more about their wedding day, you can see Mariana and Michael's Cambridge Wedding Blog Post for all the details including a full list of vendors.

Note that I offer full day wedding coverage packages as well as intimate wedding packages for shorter weddings of one to four hours like this one.

Cambridge, MA Yoga Photo Shoot at Barre & Soul Harvard Square {w/ Amy Sinclair Yoga and Barre}

What an absolute joy it was to once again work with the lovely Amy Sinclair! I have had the amazing opportunity of photographing her a handful of times over the last year or so and each time I am so excited because she brings with her this beautiful light-hearted energy and such happiness. You'll see that in her big, beautiful smile in the photographs below. We were lucky enough to photograph at the amazing Barre & Soul Harvard Square location with its gorgeous mural, beautiful green plants and huge windows that fill the room with an abundance of light. After photographing Whitney Fitzpatrick here earlier this month, I have been waiting like a kid before Christmas to get back to this space. I could photograph here for days.

Make sure to give Amy Sinclair Yoga and Barre a like on Facebook and check out her website, amysinclairyoga.com. You can find her teaching at Barre & Soul Melrose, Centre Yoga Woburn, and Lexington Power Yoga. And stay tuned for one more Barre & Soul photography session coming to the blog tomorrow! {And, hint, hint, if you're a yoga or barre teacher at Barre & Soul, please do contact me to set up a photo shoot because I seriously could shoot here every day!}

Cambridge, MA Yoga and Barre Photo Shoot at Barre & Soul Harvard {w/ Whitney Fitzpatrick}

You may remember my 2015 New Year's post card and this gorgeous yogi, Whitney Fitzpatrick! {And yes, noted, I dropped the ball on creating one this year. I'm only human. Next year ... I hope} Needless to say, I was thrilled when Whitney reached out this year to create a follow-up photo shoot because I absolutely adore her and love working together. This time, Whitney introduced me to barre as well as yoga and while I usually make a strong case of not being a "fitness photographer" but rather a "yoga photographer" this photo session made me want to add barre to the mix. I have yet to go to a class {it's on my list .. I no longer fear it} and I absolutely loved the introduction that Whitney gave me. There was so much grace both in her movement and in her stillnessAnd, yes, of course, a lot of that comes from Whitney herself but I am thrilled to be shooting a few more barre sessions in the near future. Whitney's smile, also thrills me every time and you'll see that shine through in the images below. We were lucky to photograph at Barre & Soul Harvard because it's absolutely delightful. It's a photographer's dream with gorgeous wood floors, large windows with ample window light bouncing around the white walls and a unique and thoughtfully curated style. The mural wall had me drooling and all of the plants and terrariums hanging from the ceilings were absolutely breathtaking. Oh, and there's a teal piano to boot! If I lived in the area, I'd probably be at this studio every day if only to meditate in the beauty ... and of course to take yoga and barre classes with their amazing instructors. Now, enough of me ooo-ing and aww-ing, take a look at some of my favorite photographs from our yoga and barre photo shoot earlier this month. 

Whitney currently teaches at Barre and Soul Melrose and Harvard Square locations as well as Lexington Power Yoga (Barre & Soul) and she subs at YogaWorks Comm Ave and Back Bay {formally Back Bay Yoga and Sweet & Soul Yoga}.

Whitney's hair was done by the uber talented Amanda Andella who also teaches at Barre and Soul. I may have drooled a little over this braid crown she whipped up in just a few minutes. Brides, message me for her details! Imagine what she can do with even more time and prep!
