Engagement Photos-Kate and Cullen

Kate and Cullen got in touch with me only a couple weeks before their wedding, hoping that the three of us could find some time to get together and have an engagement photo session. I was happy to clear some time for such a fun couple! They mentioned wanting to find a quiet place where they could get their feet wet, and we found a great location in Wellesley, MA.

The day was warm, the water was cool, and we couldn’t believe no one else was around! It was a really great time, and I am really happy with the photos!

Congratulations to the both of you, and I wish you many happy years to come!!

Dawn and Brendan’s Wedding!

Dawn and Brendan are such a fun and laid back couple. Their wedding weekend was full of Bluegrass music, family, bonfires, friends, and a bouncy castle! When you book a wedding at Bucksteep Manor, they set aside the property (more than 20 rooms, and rustic cabins and camping for the more hearty guests) from the Thursday until the Sunday around your wedding. This allows the couple and their guests to have time. Time to visit with people you haven’t seen for a while. Time for your families and friends to meet each other. Time to take a deep breath and reflect on the significance of this new chapter in your life. Brendan and Dawn fit in this atmosphere perfectly! It’s no wonder they took over the daily management of the property last year.

There are so many great places to photograph there, I could spend days with a bride and groom and still not get all the shots I want. One of Dawn’s favorite things to do there is to get her morning coffee then bring it out on the long porch and collect her thoughts and prepare for the day. It seemed like a good idea, then, to take the two of them out on the porch to start shooting. I wanted to keep them relaxed and focused on enjoying each other’s company. Little did I know how easy that would be for them!

It was a beautiful summer weekend for their wedding, and it felt like such a treat to be there to witness it! Congratulations you two!!

Zareena and Andres’ Wedding!!

Here they are!! Andres and Zareena, husband and wife!!

There are some times when I pick up my camera that things just click (besides the shutter, that is!). It is no wonder that a couple that clicks as well as Andres and Zareena would make such an amazing day happen!

From a GORGEOUS location as The Codman Estate in Lincoln, MA to having their friend Matthew Truss, an amazing counter tenor opera singer, sing during the ceremony, this was just a wonderful day all the way around!

They were a delight to work with at every turn. From our engagement photo session on Newbury Street in Boston, to a beautiful wedding, to our super fun Trash The Dress session at Canobie Lake Park (www.canobie.com), the love and fun this couple share is contagious and contributed to some amazing photos! Throw in an air guitar solo to Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ at the reception, and that, my friends, makes for an experience I will not soon forget!!

Dawn and Brendan’s Photo Booth!!!!

I have looked at many other wedding and family photographers in the last several months, and have read a lot about crafty and creative things to do for a wedding. From time to time, I found folks who make their own version of a photo booth at their wedding.

Dawn and Brendan, as you have seen from the sneak peek of their wedding I posted a short while ago, are a super fun couple, so I figured I would try the photo booth idea out.

If it wasn’t for Brendan’s enthusiasm, I do not think it would have been nearly as successful!! He was constantly bringing his friends and family (even his mother, who does not come to silliness easily) over and putting the silly hats or goofy sunglasses or feather boas on them. It’s hard not to smile when you have a hot pink feather boa on you!!

I am looking forward to using this again and again! It was a hit!!

Sneak Peek-Zareena and Andres’ Trash The Dress

Many months ago, Zareena and Andres tortured me. We discussed how they wanted their wedding shots to turn out (those are coming soon), where they wanted to do their engagement photo session (Newbury St. in Boston), and–here is the torture part–that they wanted to do their Trash the Dress session at Canobie Lake Park in like 5 months from then!! How could I be expected to wait so long for something so fun!?!?!?

Of course I was excited to see such a funny and loving couple get married, and to get to know them better during our engagement session, but photos of a bride and groom looking all fancy at a really fun amusement park?!?! I mean, COME ON!!! I have been looking forward to this for many months!

So, here is a sneak peek of our session. The rest of them will be posted in a few weeks. It was a great location to shoot, and I hope to go back again someday!
