Leanne + Justin’s Snowy Wedding at the Barn at Gibbet Hill

So I’ll admit it. I was really hoping for a beautiful spring day for Leanne and Justin! There are so many gorgeous outdoor spots at the Barn at Gibbet Hill. I wanted to take advantage of them all! Well life laughs as we make our plans. We woke to a chilly, clear day with snow covering the surrounding hills. I can work with that! Leanne and Justin (and their fabulous wedding party) were total champs braving the cold to get those beautiful outdoor images. I feel so lucky to have (what I hope are) some of the last snow flakes of the year on those hills! Leanne and Justin’s easy and fun personalities made the rest of the day perfect.

Rozzie + Ben’s Winter Wedding

Through my many years of wedding experience, I have learned the details that make a wedding truly special and memorable have nothing to do with money. The details that are special about your wedding day come from your history, your traditions, your relationship with your partner and your loved ones. Rozzie + Ben’s wedding at the Hilton Boston Logan was certainly elegant and quite lavish. But the emotion and tradition I captured that day trumped all else. Rozzie + Ben had a very traditional Jewish wedding complete with a Tisch and Bedeken. Along with the Ketubah signing, these three beautiful and meaningful ceremonies marry a couple before the actual ceremony. I’m so excited to share their story with you!

Year in Review, Part Eight

Weddings The Celebration! The planning is over. The formals are taken. He’s kissed the bride. It’s time to party! This is when the bride and groom finally get to give a sigh of relief and celebrate with their closest friends and relatives. And this is the when I am able to truly disappear. No, I don’t leave the wedding! But I take a step back, put my long lens on and capture the beautiful emotion happening all around me. The story teller in me does a little dance of joy! This is my last post of 2013, and I think it’s perfect to finish the year with some of my favorite reception photos. We end the year with toasts, dancing and cake…perfection! It’s been an honor capturing these truly singular memories over the past year. I can’t wait to see you all in 2014. There will be many more adventures to come! Happy New Year!

Year in Review, Part Six

Weddings The Ceremony The ceremony is an incredibly special part of the day. It is, after all, why all your loved ones have come together! Whether it is in a garden, a ballroom, a temple or a church, I work to be as unobtrusive and invisible as possible. I want the attention on your moment, not the crazy photographer. This, of course, is balanced with making sure I am in the perfect spot to catch the unique traditions and moments of your special day. I’ve been complimented by several couples who were amazed by the fact that they didn’t see me once during their ceremony. Some actually feared I hadn’t taken any photos! Now that’s what I call unobtrusive!

Year In Review, Part Five

Weddings The Formals This category can be a bit deceiving. Most often, my formal photos at a wedding are anything but formal! I want my clients to look and feel natural in their family and wedding party photos. So we keep the session light, fun…and maybe a bit goofy. The light atmosphere is even more important these days as many couples are choosing to see each other prior to the ceremony to complete the session and enjoy the rest of the day. Since the ceremony is still ahead, they’re often still pretty nervous. I’ve been known to do just about anything to lighten the mood!

Year in Review, Part Four

Weddings Getting Ready I’m not afraid to admit, I love shooting weddings! It’s a good thing too, because they make up the bulk of my work. I’ve separated my year in review into the distinctly different segments of the day. The first part of the day can be the most important for a photographer. When we first arrive, the bride is just getting ready. The jitters often abound! Tension can be high and the photographer plays a very special role. We can either add to the tension of the day or work to lighten the load. I always try to make my clients comfortable the moment I arrive. This sets the tone for the rest of my work. The details and moments I capture while the bride gets ready are among my favorite all day.

Year In Review, Part Two

Engagements Engagement sessions are a great way to get to know my clients before a wedding while allowing clients an opportunity to get comfortable being in front of the camera. The sessions also create an opportunity to insert some more personality into their wedding. I suggest couples choose a location or activity that is special to them. The significance adds a special touch to the session! Some of my clients got their beloved pets involved this year. The puppies were so much fun! I had an extra special experience this year too. I had the opportunity to shoot an actual proposal at Fenway Park. Those images are included below with many other favorite moments.

Kimberly + Mark’s Hyatt Harborside Wedding

I’m very fond of Kimberly + Mark! And I was thrilled that despite their quiet and gentle natures, they decided to have this goofy girl around on their wedding day. They had a lovely Sunday afternoon wedding at the Hyatt Harborside. If you’ve never been there, it is one of the best views of the city skyline ever! I love how the setting sun changed the look of the sky, the city and the ballroom with each hour. I’m sure you’ll see what I mean from these images!

Melissa + Pete’s UMASS Club Wedding

When I met with Melissa + Pete, they stressed the importance of including their loved ones in their wedding celebration. Well, that was pretty easy considering Melissa + Pete’s friends and family are so talented! We enjoyed some exquisite musical performances during the ceremony. But one other participant stole the show. Check out their beloved dog Baily in that tux! The celebration was at the fabulous UMASS Club which has a lovely view of Boston’s city skyline!

Lindsey + James’ Royal Sonesta Wedding

Lindsey and James’ wedding was the perfect blend of elegance and fun. The Royal Sonesta Cambridge was the perfect, plush backdrop for their black and white themed celebration. At every head turn, I saw ruffles and sparkles. Set that against the station style dinner of comfort foods like sliders, fries, lobster rolls and whoopee pies along with amazingly fun band Rare Form and it was the perfect evening! Having photographed Lindsey’s sister’s wedding a few years back, I expected nothing short of fabulous. And that’s what I got!
