Jeff and Tara’s Wedding at the Ashworth

I got to photograph Tara and Jeff’s wedding ceremony at my old home town, Newburyport, at the Unitarian Universalist Church June 20, 2009. Tara’s father was a former Lowell Sun photographer and by coincidence, I was a photographer there too! We were able to talk shop on the limo ride to the ceremony and to the waterfront for formal photos. Then we headed to Hampton Beach in NH for their reception at Ashworth by the Sea on Ocean Boulevard.

Mark & Crystal’s Wedding at the Victoria Inn

I photographed Mark and Crystal’s wedding August 18 at the Victoria Inn in Hampton, NH. We lucked out with the early timing of this wedding. After the reception we headed down to Hampton Beach for a few more portrait photographs and the timing was perfect to capture the purple-blue hues on the water and in the sky.

I like to shoot environmental portraits as often as possible, like this one on the sea wall at Hampton Beach, NH at their wedding.  They appeal to everyone, especially in silhouette because I think people can imagine themselves in the moment.

A quiet moment on the beach together makes a nice end to the photographic story of their wedding day.

Father-daughter dance, happy moment captured.  Check!

Of course, one would be remiss to not write a message in the sand.  Sentiments for a day, washed away by the sea.  Captured forever though, with a photograph.

One of the happiest couples I’ve seen during vows.  Very relaxed, having a great time!

These two bridal party members made my day.  Love the unexpected candid moments!
