Bridal shows, seminars, weddings, portraits…..

The last couple months have been so busy!  I’ve been attending bridal shows, wedding photography seminars, shooting lots of weddings and now I’m doing a lot of portraits too!  I’ve done some family portrait and trash the dress sessions and there are maternity and baby sessions lined up too.  More on the way to be posted soon! 

I had booths at the New England Bridal Affair expo at Vesper Country Club in Tyngsboro, MA and at the first-ever Fenway Bridal Festival Sunday Sept. 27. The turn-out was less than expected, with rain all day not helping attendance, but overall it was a great event. I managed to get a photo of my company logo on the centerfield screen before the show got going as my associate Chet helped out at my booth.

The week before, I photographed a group of brides jumping in the ocean in their gowns for a trash the dress session. All this while shooting lots of weddings and portraits. I also attended the Boston WPPI Road Trip Sept. 30. That was a daylong event at Bentley University in Waltham with speakers Vicki Taufer, John Solano, Ken Sklute, Jed Taufer and Bambi Cantrell. Finally, I attended the Digital Wakeup Call Seminar with David Ziser at the Sheraton in Framingham, Monday, Oct. 5. My associate Elena attended too and she won a door prize!

I’ve got lots of gallery updates and blog posts coming, so keep an eye on the blog! Also visit my booths at some upcoming shows. October 22 I’ll be at the Wedding Event in Newburyport followed by another New England Bridal Affair expo, this time at Stonehedge Inn in Tyngsboro Sunday Oct 25.

Visit my booth at the Fenway Bridal Festival!

Come see me and some of my associates at the first-ever Fenway Park Bridal Festival, which will take place on Sunday, September 27, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Everyone who attends has the chance to win one of four wedding ceremonies at Fenway Park.

The event will also feature a “Grooms Room” for prospective grooms to relax and enjoy themselves during the event. The room will feature ideas for groomsmen gifts, showcase a cigar roller, have NESNHD broadcasts of the Red Sox vs. Yankees game on multiple televisions along with a Nintendo Wii videogame console.
