2015 Year In Review

Happy New Year! 2015 Has been a fun and wild ride with some fantastic clients and new opportunities. I’ve had the honor of documenting some truly unique weddings in gorgeous locations in the heart of the city, on islands, in private homes and in barns. The celebrations have ranged from elegant ballroom parties to easy clambakes with lawn games. As a professional, I’ve grown in many ways this year. I started the year with a complete re-brand including a brand new website. I explored new tools to improve my craft including external lighting for receptions and evening photos. But with all these great changes, I never changed my focus. When it comes to shooting weddings, I will always consider myself a story teller first. Below, are some of my favorite moments captured at the weddings I photographed in 2015. There were so many wonderful memories to choose from. Some highlights include shooting two sisters in the same year, seeing both the bride and groom break a glass during their Jewish ceremony, shooting for some fantastic fellow wedding professionals and my first ever fake first look (the look on the groom’s face was priceless). There were epic dance floors, […]

Kristyn and Tom’s Cape Wedding at Wequassett Resort

It’s that time of year when the weather can be just perfect for weddings! The last few days of summer are giving way to the crisp, cool fall evenings. It was a gorgeous day for Kristyn and Tom’s wedding at Wequassett Resort. Their first look on the pier was incredibly picturesque. And after some wedding party portraits on the beach, we were able to wander the property and grab some quintessential Cape Cod photos. The ceremony overlooking the ocean couldn’t have been prettier. Check out the adorable ring bearers walking down the aisle with Kristyn and Tom’s puppy! After the ceremony, guests headed to the waterfront for cocktails and a fabulous nautical themed reception. You’ll love all the little details! Don’t forget to check out their full slide show! VENDORS Venue: Wequassett Resort Florist: Lyndsey Loring Hair: Raimi Warren Makeup: Eva Oseva

Do You Have to Like Your Wedding Photographer?

I recently had the President of a Boston based company to my studio for a head shot. We sat down in my office to talk about how he was going to use his images and the message he wanted to convey with them. He was a nice man and I really enjoyed talking with him. We created a lovely rapport which made the actual photo session a breeze. When it was over, the man asked me if I photographed weddings. Of course! I love shooting weddings! He proceeded to tell me about his daughter’s beautiful wedding and the difficult time they had with their own wedding photographer. He didn’t go into detail, but it seemed the photographer’s conduct that day made the photos unpleasant and that showed in the images. The discussion got me thinking. Do you have to like your wedding photographer? I say yes. A Bride and Groom on their wedding day will often spend a large amount of time with their wedding photographer. I normally arrive hours prior to the wedding to photograph the Bride getting ready. I’ve found my demeanor upon arrival can make or break the entire day. If I appear stressed and harried, […]

Jessica + Eric’s Romantic Winter Wedding in Boston’s Seaport District

You know I just love it when I have the chance to work with several clients in a tight group of friends. After the second or third wedding, I start to feel like one of the girls! Jessica and Eric’s wedding was like that. I had three former clients and one future client (and one current client of course!) in the same ballroom. I had as much fun as the guests! Jessica and Eric’s wedding was an elegant affair at the beautiful Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. After seeing them at previous affairs and their engagement shoot, I felt like a good friend rather than a photographer. They were even brave enough to spend some time with me outdoors in the cold but beautiful Boston Seaport District. Thank you for a wonderful close to my 2014 wedding season Jessica and Eric! It was perfect!

Rachel + Jared’s Elegant Cambridge Wedding

If I went around the ballroom and asked their wedding guests to describe Rachel and Jared in one word, I would get some interesting responses for sure! But top on the list would be FUN. Rachel and Jared’s wedding day was filled with laughter, humor, joy and most of all fun. There was also a healthy dose of bling thrown in compliments of Rachel! Check out her shoes and jewelry! The ceremony and reception overlooked the beautiful Boston city skyline from the ballroom at the Royal Sonesta Hotel. But the twinkling of the city lights was nothing compared to the twinkle in Rachel and Jared’s eyes!

Katie + Anthony’s Fabulous DIY Wedding

Katie and Anthony’s wedding was just a blast to shoot! It was full of special DIY touches. You see, Katie (on top of being a fabulous dancer and choreographer) owns a wonderful business that creates beautiful paper flowers and other paper items for special events. Please check her out for at www.katherineelizabethevents.com your next event! Her wedding day was a fabulous opportunity to show her talent and artistry. The celebration was held at Melrose Memorial Hall in a great old theater which added its’ own artistic flair. Combine all that beauty and character with a beautiful couple (totally head over heals for each other) with a really fun group of friends and family, and you’ve got a photographer’s dream wedding! Thanks for the wonderful night!

Natalie + Chris’ Boston Marriott Long Wharf Wedding

This season has been filled with the weddings of siblings of former clients. And that’s such a compliment! I remember Natalie’s mom telling me at the end of her brother’s wedding that she had a daughter who would be getting engaged soon and I could expect a call. I was so excited to see the Drummy family again! Now, no bride wants rain on her wedding day. But they normally get past bad weather knowing they are about to married to the love of their life. Natalie was so excited, I don’t even think she noticed it was raining! We didn’t have a chance to sneak out for a single outdoor photo. And it didn’t matter one bit! They were both absolutely on cloud nine all evening.

Melissa + Timothy’s Seaport Boston Wedding

When getting to know Melissa and Tim, it was obvious their friends and family were very important to them. They found a way to incorporate every guest into their ceremony and it was so lovely! Each guest was given a penny as they were seated. And a special point in the ceremony the guests were asked to take out their penny and to make a wish for the couple. They were invited to drop the penny in a special jar the two had engraved for the ceremony. Melissa and Tim also made their wish and dropped the penny into the jar. It was so touching! Possibly my new favorite ceremony addition! It was beautiful celebration all evening!

Paula + Greg’s Elegant Boston Wedding at the Mandarin Oriental

Paula and Greg have impeccable taste. First of all, they chose each other! After making the most important choice, they continued to create a truly elegant celebration of their marriage. Of course they had the help of Carol Singer, event planner extraordinaire and the outstanding staff at Marc Hall Design and the Mandarin Oriental Boston and kept the party going with Splash. With such a fabulous line up, I was honored to be asked to photograph the day! The Klaman’s feel like family to me. After shooting Paula’s sister’s wedding and her two beautiful twin boys, I was so happy to be a part of another big life event. Can’t wait for the next one!

Vicky + Zhihuai’s Elegant Four Season’s Wedding

Vicky and Zhihuai’s wedding was a lovely mix of tradition and modern style. Vicky started the day in lovely white gown made for a princess and finished the evening in a stunning red evening dress true to tradition. And of course, the property they chose to be married at certainly mirrors that same style. I just love shooting at the Four Seasons Boston. Not only is the property stunning. There are so many gorgeous options available for outdoor shooting as well. We had a great time wandering the city with the wedding party!
