Katerina & Stephen

Katerina & Stephen

Saturday March 7 found me at the wedding of Stephen and Katerina. They met while attending a graduate certificate program at Boston University. Several of their classmates attended their wedding.

Katerina is from Ohrid, Macedonia. Stephen grew up in Peabody, MA. Many of Katerina’s friends from Macedonia attended their wedding. Lively crew–they all danced in long lines holding hands well into the night!


Rally for Ryan

I am excited to announce that I am taking part in a fundraiser for Ryan Cavanaugh of Nashua Thursday evening! Ryan is a 10 year-old boy who has been afflicted with Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder of the connective tissue, his entire life. He already had open-heart surgery once when he was 21 months old.

Ryan will undergo open-heart surgery to replace two heart valves and his aortic root. His surgery is scheduled for March 12. Unfortunately, his family found out that the surgery was needed only within the past few weeks, after a recent MRI. Doctors said the surgery would have to be scheduled as soon as possible.


Trevor & Sarah

Trevor & Sarah

‘I was at the Grandview Inn & Resort in Jaffrey, NH February 28, 2009 for Sarah and Trevor’s wedding. Their ceremony was held at Merrimack Valley Baptist Church. Trevor works in Maine politics, having been a legislative aide and now Grassroots Director of Maine Leads! Sarah is a nurse at Eastern Maine Medical Center and is about to start her Masters in Nursing at Husson University in Bangor, ME.

They were introduced to each other at a family party by Trevor’s sister Camara. Have a look at their cake– Sarah made her own wedding cake!


Glassblowing at Diablo

Glassblowing at Diablo

I mentioned in a previous post that I’m developing an interest in glass art. My girlfriend Nancy gave me a gift certificate to Diablo Glass School in Boston and I took a weekend course there Feb. 14-15.

My classmate who took this photograph is Rachel Moyal, who happened to be a cast member on MTV’s Real World Austin show.

Glassblowing is very unforgiving. You have to work, pay attention, and not make mistakes or you’ll risk breaking the piece or messing it up.


Images with IMPACT

Images with IMPACT

Kevin is teaming up with a Boston non-profit organization to do portraiture and donate a portion of the proceeds to benefit Impact Boston. 2009 is shaping up to be a tough year for many. Non-profits will no doubt struggle to provide services at the level they have in the past. It’s my intention for this year to have a portion of my professional and creative endeavors benefit those in need, and my belief is you get back what you give. So read on to learn more, see how you can take part, and also receive something of value in return.


Back from the 2009 Digital Wedding Forum Convention

Back from the 2009 Digital Wedding Forum Convention

I was out in Carefree, Arizona Jan. 10-15 for the 2009 Digital Wedding Forum Convention. It’s good for seeing what is available for products and services in the industry, learning new techniques, business management tips, and for inspiration. One of the best speakers was on the first day, keynote speaker David Williams. He’s an Australian wedding and portrait photographer and among the many valuable thoughts he shared was for photographers to regularly visit art museums to look for inspiration and posing ideas. I’ve always liked going to art museums, and I decided to make an effort to go to as many as I can as often as possible. Since coming back, I’ve gone to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The Newark Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, and the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, the last because I heard they were closing and hadn’t been, so I figured I better before it did.


Caitlin and Chris

Caitlin and Chris

I photographed Caitlin and Chris for their engagement session at Harvard Yard and along the Charles River on the Cambridge side. I’m photographing their wedding in August. They’re both Harvard grads, hence the setting. They’re having their wedding reception at the Seaport Hotel.


Stacy & Jim

Stacy & Jim

Stacy and Jim had a New Year’s Eve wedding at were married at St. Anthony’s in Lawrence, MA, followed by a New Year’s party at the Andover Country Club. Stacy is Lebanese, and the wedding had a Maronite tradition–crowning at the ceremony.


Cathy & Kyle

Cathy & Kyle

Cathy & Kyle were married at the Veronique Ballroom in Brookline, MA, Dec. 20, 2008. She ended up getting ready there because there was a major snowstorm that day. Unfortunately, many guests from out of town couldn’t make it because of weather delays. Further compounding their wedding woes was the discovery of grease on the back of her dress that they suspected was caused by a hotel cleaning staff member moving her dress in her hotel room beforehand. Fortunately, Veronique staff had all kinds of solutions– club soda and a stain marker. Vigorous scrubbing for at least 20 minutes saved the dress, and the day. From then on, it was all fun and partying, and even a little snow fun…..


Courtney & Steve

Courtney & Steve

Courtney and Steve were married at the First Parish Congregational Church in Saco, ME, followed by a reception at the Sable Oaks Marriott in South Portland. I photographed their engagement earlier this year too.

Angel & Keith

I photographed Angel and Keith’s wedding and reception at Oceanview of Nahant. This was their second wedding to each other! They also married in Taiwan, for Angel’s family. I admit it was unusual to see photos of them at their reception in Nahant already in wedding attire!

A Phone Call from Iraq

A Phone Call from Iraq

I photographed Emily and Jay’s wedding Sept. 13, 2008. I first met Emily and her family while covering a story on her brother Ross when I worked for The Telegraph, who was deploying with his Marine Corps Reserve unit to Iraq. I’ve been photographing their family for 5 years, and many of their family events have been punctuated by farewells and welcome home ceremonies for Ross.


David & Linda

David & Linda

I was at The Barn at Gibbet Hill Sept. 6, 2008 for David and Linda’s wedding. Great view. We were able to take advantage of the setting for outdoor photos after the rain stopped, although the rain put a damper on having an outdoor ceremony.
