Kerri and Derek’s Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

The last part of August has been busy– 3 weddings this Labor Day weekend! Nonetheless, I find myself with clothes pressed, batteries charged and equipment ready to go and yet a couple hours to kill before an evening wedding in Sharon, MA today, so I figure I’ll spend it updating the blog with some of my shoots from the last 2-3 weeks, starting with Kerri and Derek’s engagement session that I photographed August 12. I’ll be shooting their wedding next June at the Atkinson Country Club and Resort. They chose to do their portraits at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport. This is the second session I’ve done there this year. In Spring, it’s in bloom and it’s probably the most visually striking then. However, the landscapes are impressive anytime, and I’ve decided to post all black and white images to draw attention to that.

Justin and Francesca’s Wedding at Oceanview of Nahant

I photographed Justin and Francesca’s wedding at Oceanview of Nahant Saturday, August 9. With all the thunderstorms lately, we lucked out with a nice day for some photographs by the water. They were married at the Immaculate Conception Church in Revere, MA.

I love the looks these boys are exchanging! The boy in the sitting in the pew will feel the pressure later though as seen in a photo below…..

Four girls try to convince this boy to dance with them! Nice problem to have…..

Allergic Reactions to Henna

Interesting read about the dye for henna body art– a particular type of dye used can cause permanent scarring. I’ve only seen henna in regard to Indian weddings, but evidently it’s gaining popularity elsewhere, and black henna is the culprit. Story about it here.
