Joe and Sara's engagement session

Engagement sessions are such a fun way to get to know the happy couple before the wedding day. I had briefly met Sara while shooting another wedding, but had never met Joe at all, so I was anxious to find out more about their personal style.



It was a hot and busy day at Castle Island. We arrived a bit early to scope out the best vantage points and plan our shoot. With Chris on camera and myself and Chris Lazzery assisting, we were able to do a completely handheld shoot. (By the way, tackling the reflector on a breezy day was no small feat - thanks Laz!)



Our laid-back couple was relaxed, happy, and clearly crazy about each other throughout the session, and even through a few takes. Their preppy style was perfectly Bostonian. And the sunset cooperated perfectly, as did the patient pedestrians who waited for us to get the shot. All in all, it was a great day and I can't wait for the wedding!

In the Summertime

This photo is from a pre-bridal session I did with my friend Heidi in the summer of 2008. It's still one of my proudest shots. I love the setting, the color, and her expression.



We had a great afternoon getting photos that she used as a gift to her new husband.

I personally find summer to be a stimulating season. The colors and the overwhelming richness of nature inspire me. The juxtaposition of a lovely bride in pure white placed in a quasi-jungle setting is charming and a little wild, just as a wedding should be.

If you want photos like these, but are worried about showing up at your reception a little too disheveled for family approval, consider a Trash the Dress session after the wedding.

My prediction for this summer is a bumper crop of beauty!

New business cards!

Keeping it Cool!

What do I love about shooting weddings?

1. I get to know a lot of wonderful families.
2. The beautiful locations filled with beautiful people, flowers, and food.
3. Always finding new and unexpected ways to capture every special moment.

So basically, it's just a whole lot of fun.

I took this photo of Chris when we were shooting Kevin and Meghann Burns' wedding in Lake Placid, NY. They're huge hockey fans and a big highlight of the day was getting access to the Olympic Arena where the 'Miracle on Ice' took place.

We were truly having a blast all day!

This is Chris' final image. I really like the juxtaposition of the lovely, feminine bridesmaids and the grungy hockey arena.
