Deann and Jeremy’s Wedding at Pat’s Peak

I photographed Deann and Jeremy’s wedding and reception at Pat’s Peak in Henniker, NH July 19. It was another hot and humid one, and a thunderstorm threatened all afternoon. Right as guests were seated for the outdoor ceremony, the downpour began, so we had to rush inside and do the ceremony in stifling heat. Jeremy is a Navy man-submariner specifically. His boat is on exercises in Florida, so he flew up right before the wedding. Most of his friends are military, and couldn’t make the wedding. Seems to be a theme here like my last post– military families making sacrifices, such as friends or relatives not being able to attend major family gatherings. They made the best of it, despite the heat, rain, and military obligations of friends unable to attend and partied hard nonetheless.

Emily and Jay’s Engagement Session in Nashua

I took Emily and Jay to a man-made pond along Gilson Road in Nashua, NH July 10 for an engagement session. I have known Emily’s family for years going back to when I was a photographer for The Telegraph. I spent a year covering stories on her brother Ross, a Marine Corps reservist who was part of Marine Wing Support Squadron 472 at the time. We all got to know each other quite well through good times and tough times– Ross has been deployed to Iraq before at the Al Asad air base near the Syrian border. It’ll be great seeing everyone together again when I shoot Emily’s wedding in September, although bittersweet, since Ross is heading back to Iraq for another deployment, this time to Fallujah, so he won’t be able to attend the wedding.

Laura and Chris’s Wedding on Lake Ossipee

Laura and Chris had their wedding and reception on the shores of Leavitt Bay on Lake Ossipee in Center Ossipee, NH, July 5th in Laura’s parents lakeside backyard. Her mom is a wedding photographer too. I love the photograph of her becoming tearful while hugging her daughter. She was helping put Laura’s necklace on, and I think the sentiments of the moment hit her then. I had competition too- a young family member jumped in to grab a shot during the formals!

Sarah and Jon’s Wedding at The Granite Rose

Sarah and Jon were married at the First Congregational Church in Methuen, MA, followed by a reception at The Granite Rose in Hampstead, NH, Sunday June 29. It was hot and humid, so everyone was glad to get inside following formal photos. Later, we had quite a thunderstorm that almost stopped the music–power flickered a bit and everyone held their breath for a moment.

Jennifer and Mike’s Wedding at the Executive Court in Manchester

Jenn and Mike were married at the Brookside Congregational Church in Manchester, NH June 28. Their reception was held at the Executive Court, also in Manchester. I’ve included some photos of humorous reactions– take a look at the baby photo, and also the one of Mike after a sip of champagne– I gather it’s not his favorite drink! I got a kick out of one of the staff members at the Executive Court–she got into the action by joining the conga line on her way from clearing a table!

Tiffany and Jeff’s Wedding at The Granite Rose in Hampstead

Tiffany and Jeff had a great time at their wedding and reception at The Granite Rose in Hampstead, NH June 21st. Both the guys and the ladies hammed it up with the fedoras.

Tiffany and Jeff’s Engagement Session at The Granite Rose

I shot an engagement session with Tiffany and Jeff June 3rd during a planning meeting for their upcoming wedding at The Granite Rose in Hampstead. They used a photo from the session for a signature board at their wedding as guests entered.

Emily and Brendan’s Wedding in Lisbon, Maine

I photographed Emily and Brendan’s wedding at Holy Trinity Church in Lisbon Falls, Maine, May 31st. The couple lives in Somerville, MA, but Brendan is from Maine and they were married there to take advantage of Brendan’s parents home for a backyard tented wedding reception. Both of them are hilarious jokers, as you can see from a lot of the photos of them clowning around. And so it was a bit surprising to me, and I’m sure for Emily, when nerves got the better of her for a moment as she was getting ready. I like how all the female family members are attending to her with great concern. The moment passed quickly enough; it was all smiles and laughter after that.

Jill and Matt’s Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

I photographed Matt and Jill’s engagement session May 25 in Newburyport, MA. Just by sheer coincidence, it happens that Jill and I both graduated from Newburyport High School. Small world indeed. So, it was fitting that we did the engagement session at a number of sites in Newburyport. We started at Maudslay State Park, headed over to the beach on Plum Island, and finished up on the boardwalk downtown. Matt and Jill are avid runners– Matt finished 59th in the 2004 Boston Marathon. Basically, me running is like a leisurely stroll for him. Humbling…… I’m shooting their wedding April 17, 2009 at The Commons in Topsfield.

Home Hill Inn Wedding Photo Shoot

I recently had a photo shoot at the Home Hill Inn in Plainfield, NH. The inn recently re-opened under new management and has started doing weddings, and we were doing the photography for their brochures. They are well known for their cuisine; I’m sure they’ll soon be for weddings too– the inn is beautiful and the grounds are expansive and stunning for an outdoor, tented wedding. I photographed the executive chef’s wedding there in September. I had the opportunity to eat there too- duck, scallops, filet mignon and banana cream pie for lunch. That’s not all either. Yes, it was amazing! Here’s a few photographs from the shoot….

Amanda and Bill’s Wedding at Vesper Country Club

Bill and Amanda made the trip up from Washington D.C. for their wedding and reception May 3 at Vesper Country Club in Tyngsborough, MA. The photographs show a range of emotions Amanda had throughout the day. It was actually pretty cold that day, so we warmed things up with a fun ride on one of the club’s golf carts– love their reactions!

A Celtic Handfasting Ceremony

I photographed Brad and Jennifer’s Celtic handfasting May 1, 2008 in Center Harbor, NH. This will probably rank as one of the more unusual weddings I’ll shoot — all the guests wore period costumes and the event included a jousting tournament. No one got seriously hurt. Kidding of course…..The caterer was Hart’s Turkey Farm out of Meredith. They are awesome! This is the second time I’ve been able to partake in their offerings. The first was after I climbed Mt. Washington for Seek the Peak 2007, a hike-a-thon to raise funds for the Mt. Washington Observatory.

Courtney and Steve’s Engagement Session in Portland

Well, I’m finally back to the blog! I’ve been super busy, thankfully, and that has resulted in me neglecting my blog a tad bit. So this is the first in a series of posts I’ll be making to update you on my activities in the last few months. Then I can get to some other topics. First off, here’s a few pictures of Courtney and Steve’s engagement I shot in March. I’m shooting their wedding Nov 29th at the First Parish Congregational Church in Saco with the reception at the Sable Oaks Marriott in South Portland, Maine.
