We were especially honored to take part in what was a rare event for their family because of the nature of the customs and politics in their country of origin.

Don and I were pretty excited about the copper-clad backdrop of the Shapiro Campus Center for portrait photography. Check out this slideshow which is a mix of my photos and Don’s from their wedding:

On Nantucket, skip the car and use a kite instead to show off your newly married status. We love it when people get creative because we love capturing life’s rich colors, variations and traditions. A spin on the usual makes for a great photograph. Moments like this might be forgotten if not documented by our sharp-eyed photojournalists. We realize how important these moments are and we’re glad to have people put their trust in us to capture photographs of their wedding day.

Sometimes it’s going beyond the posed portraits that makes a nice wedding photo, like this one taken after wedding formal portraits on a Nantucket beach. When everyone is relaxed, having fun, and unaware of us, that’s often where the real gems are. The photojournalist instinct in us from years in the newspaper business where telling stories in pictures on a daily basis was the routine has us looking for the little details and memorable moments in between like it is second nature. And it doesn’t hurt to have wedding details with local flavor, like this bride with her bouquet set in a Nantucket lightship basket. Here’s a few links to some Nantucket island basket makers:

A bride and groom react to the chilly ocean water in this photograph at their Nantucket beach wedding. Whether you have a casual beach wedding or a formal affair, we’ll work to be in position and ready to capture those reactions and moments for what is one of the most important days in most people’s lives. We carefully plan with clients so that we are able to stay ahead of the day’s events. For Nantucket, Cape Cod, and Martha’s Vineyard weddings, extra care and attention is given to travel, equipment, and planning arrangements to ensure success and a beautiful set of storytelling images.

A bride and groom have a nice detail spelled out over the fireplace in this photograph at their Nantucket wedding. We have planning sessions with clients to make sure we are aware of little details that might otherwise be overlooked. On your wedding day, you don’t have to remember to tell us about something; we’ve got it written down and we have our eyes open to capture details. We’re photojournalists, it’s our nature to document and tell a story, in this case, your wedding story.

Don was the photographer for a Nantucket wedding recently. We’ll take the time to photograph details that you’ve spent time and effort with other vendors to create a memorable wedding so you’ll have every element of a complete wedding story and an album to showcase it all. Portraits on the beach, details at a longtime family vacation spot, and a wedding ceremony to beat all others, we’ll be there quietly capturing it all.
