Stephanie & Rob’s Wedding at the Boston Park Plaza
I had the high honor of being the photographer for Stephanie & Rob’s Boston Park Plaza wedding July 11, 2009. Stephanie is featured in the video on my website describing my services and I used one of her photographs for my ad on The Knot because it’s so classic looking and every bride that sees it has said they want a photo like it!
I’ve photographed Rob and Stephanie’s engagement session at the Arnold Arboretum last Fall and we included their beloved pug Leelin in the photos. He wasn’t allowed in the wedding reception facility though, so he had to stay home for the wedding. Rob proposed to Stephanie at an Earth, Wind & Fire concert and Stephanie walked down the aisle to one of their songs. Konditor Meister did their cake with carved white chocolate roses to go with her ivory rose theme. Their band, Milo Z, brought the party to the plaza!
Katie and Andrew’s Red Lion Inn Wedding Reception
I hadn’t photographed a wedding at the Red Lion Inn since 2007, so it was nice to get down to Cohasset, MA to be the photographer for Katie and Andrew’s wedding there June 13, 2009. Andrew’s father is the Reverend at Old South Union Church in Weymouth and he presided over the wedding ceremony which was nice–it’s more personal and moving that way.
Last time I was at Red Lion, the fire alarms went off, so it was nice to have smooth sailing this time around! We took time to do formal photographs on the beach and seawall in Cohasset and the timing and lighting was perfect.
Rene and Jeff’s wedding at the Danversport Yacht Club
I photographed Rene and Jeff’s wedding at the Danversport Yacht Club in Danvers, MA May 30, 2009. Can’t beat north shore weddings in the Boston area in late May before the heat sets in! Turns out Jeff is a pretty good singer-he belted out Aerosmith’s “What it Takes” and got the crowd of guests whipped into a frenzy.
Eric and Missy’s engagement sessions: Newport, RI and Quincy, MA
I had the opportunity to photograph a couple outfit changes and locations for Missy and Eric’s engagement photos. Their wedding is at the Newport, RI Hyatt Regency next July. They wanted some photos with the lighthouse by the Hyatt for their save-the-date cards. Eric also wanted to incorporate his hand-washed and polished Corvette, so of course I had to oblige! On another day, we headed to Wollaston Beach in Quincy as well as Marina Bay too. All told, they were great to work with and we got a great variety of environmental backdrops which will make for a nice photo guest book on their wedding day!
Chris and Caitlin’s Seaport Hotel Wedding Reception
I dodged some rain showers driving from Nashua on the way to photograph a Boston wedding August 22, 2009. We lucked out with sun as Chris and Caitlin’s wedding got under way at St. Raphael Parish in Medford, MA. Their reception followed at the Seaport Hotel’s City View Ballroom in Boston. As a surprise for their guests and to pay homage to their Irish heritage, they hired Irish step dancers to perform and the group of dancers encouraged everyone to join in at the end!

Melissa & Adam’s Engagement Session at the Boston Public Garden
I met up with Melissa and Adam at the Boston Public Garden May 17, 2009 to photograph their engagement session. We had a memorable, funny moment–no sooner had I warned them to watch their belongings when an old man came up and started taking their nice leather jackets. He was busted and decided better of it! Added to the excitement of the day, that’s for sure. Their wedding reception was July 31st at Promises to Keep in Derry, NH. Still working on the photos from the wedding. Here’s a few from the engagement in the meantime:
Joey & Cory’s wedding at the Bedford Village Inn
I was back at the Bedford Village Inn for Joey and Cory’s May 16, 2009 wedding.
Amy & Dave’s wedding at the Radisson Nashua
Didn’t have far to go to photograph Amy and Dave’s wedding at the Radisson in Nashua, May 9, 2009.
Aimee & Ryan’s Wedding at the Bedford Village Inn
I photographed Aimee and Ryan’s wedding April 25, 2009 at the Bedford Village Inn in Bedford, NH. This is the first of at least 4 weddings I’ll be photographing there this year.
Jill and Matt’s April Wedding at Topsfield Commons
I photographed Jill and Matt’s wedding ceremony and reception April 17, 2009 at the Topsfield Commons. The ladies got ready at a rented home on Plum Island in Newburyport, MA and we were able to head to the beach after for some photos before the ceremony. I had my associate Nicolaus with me and he photographed the guys getting ready at The Garrison Inn in Newburyport. They all headed down to the boardwalk in Newburyport Harbor for some photographs of the guys.

I’m excited to announce that Kevin Jacobus Photography has expanded! I receive many requests for additional photographers at weddings and for video services. So, in order to meet the needs of our growing client base, I’ve added 4 associate photographers and a videographer as well. Some of our new faces: Read their biographies on the [...]
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
‘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
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
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
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
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 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 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 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!
