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!

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.


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…..


Angel & Keith

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!


Stephanie & Rob

Stephanie & Rob

I photographed an engagement session with Stephanie and Rob at the Arnold Arboretum in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston Nov. 1, 2008. I’m shooting their wedding at the Boston Park Plaza in July. Stephanie works for the Museum of Science, which also hosts wedding receptions.


Kelli & Ed

Kelli & Ed

Kelli and Ed were married at the Byfield Parish Church in Georgetown, MA, followed by a reception at DiBurros Function Facility in Haverhill.

I photographed Lauren and Frank’s wedding Oct. 11, 2008 at the Exchange Conference Center in Boston.


Derek & Alissa

Derek & Alissa

I photographed Derek and Alissa’s wedding at the Arnold Arboretum in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston Oct. 11, 2008. Their reception was held at the College Club of Boston.


Mike & Shauna

Mike & Shauna

I photographed Mike and Shauna’s wedding Sept. 27, 2008. The wedding was held at St. Joseph’s Church in Medford followed by a reception at the Indian Ridge Country Club. I’m photographing Mike’s sister’s wedding next August.


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.


Yana and Ty’s wedding at the Sharon Community Center

Yana and Ty’s wedding at the Sharon Community Center

I photographed Yana and Ty’s wedding at the Sharon Community Center Sunday, August 31, 2008. They are competitive ballroom dancers, so we were entertained by their skills throughout the wedding. Funnily enough, they started out their first dance with the sway of the usual wedding slow dance. Nearly everyone, including myself, had that “what the heck?” look on our faces, until they ended their spoof and kicked it up with some real dance moves!


Matt & Meg’s Wedding At Moraine Farm in Beverly

Matt & Meg’s Wedding At Moraine Farm in Beverly

I photographed Matt and Meg’s wedding at Moraine Farm in Beverly, MA Friday, August 29th. I think Moraine Farm is my new favorite venue for receptions. The conference center has a veranda that overlooks Wenham Lake. It reminds me of a villa on an Italian landscape and it seems remarkably secluded despite being in an otherwise bustling Beverly. That might be because the lake has no other buildings on the shoreline and there are no boats. There’s a huge lawn for a tented wedding, an enclosed gazebo for a stunning backdrop for a wedding ceremony, and stately gardens for abudant photographic possibilites. Matt and Meg are really nice people, and they love photography. They had me for 9 hours so we could spend some extra time getting photographs all over the property, and I think they’ll agree it was well worth it.


Marisa and Paul’s Engagement Session

Marisa and Paul's Engagement Session

I had some nice light to work with during a photo shoot for Marisa and Paul at the Boston Public Garden August 17. Being a Sunday, and a rare afternoon without thunderstorms, we had our work cut out for us trying to find people-free scenes–Bostonians were taking advantage of the nice day, as was another [...]


Kerri and Derek’s Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

Kerri and Derek's Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

The last part of August has been busy– 3 weddings this Labor Day weekend! Nonetheless, I find myself with clothes pressed, batteries charged and equipment ready to go and yet a couple hours to kill before an evening wedding in Sharon, MA today, so I figure I’ll spend it updating the blog with some of my shoots from the last 2-3 weeks, starting with Kerri and Derek’s engagement session that I photographed August 12. I’ll be shooting their wedding next June at the Atkinson Country Club and Resort. They chose to do their portraits at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport. This is the second session I’ve done there this year. In Spring, it’s in bloom and it’s probably the most visually striking then. However, the landscapes are impressive anytime, and I’ve decided to post all black and white images to draw attention to that.


Justin and Francesca’s Wedding at Oceanview of Nahant

Justin and Francesca’s Wedding at Oceanview of Nahant

I photographed Justin and Francesca’s wedding at Oceanview of Nahant Saturday, August 9. With all the thunderstorms lately, we lucked out with a nice day for some photographs by the water. They were married at the Immaculate Conception Church in Revere, MA.


Jill and Matt’s Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

Jill and Matt's Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

I photographed Matt and Jill’s engagement session May 25 in Newburyport, MA. Just by sheer coincidence, it happens that Jill and I both graduated from Newburyport High School. Small world indeed. So, it was fitting that we did the engagement session at a number of sites in Newburyport. We started at Maudslay State Park, headed over to the beach on Plum Island, and finished up on the boardwalk downtown. Matt and Jill are avid runners– Matt finished 59th in the 2004 Boston Marathon. Basically, me running is like a leisurely stroll for him. Humbling…… I’m shooting their wedding April 17, 2009 at The Commons in Topsfield.


Amanda and Bill’s Wedding at Vesper Country Club

Amanda and Bill’s Wedding at Vesper Country Club

Bill and Amanda made the trip up from Washington D.C. for their wedding and reception May 3 at Vesper Country Club in Tyngsborough, MA. The photographs show a range of emotions Amanda had throughout the day. It was actually pretty cold that day, so we warmed things up with a fun ride on one of the club’s golf carts– love their reactions!


Heidi & Tom’s Wedding at Ballroom Veronique

Heidi & Tom’s Wedding at Ballroom Veronique

Heidi and Tom were married at the Trinity Chapel on the Boston College Law School campus Saturday, Oct. 27, 2007. Their reception was held at Ballroom Veronique in Brookline. Surprisingly enough, I didn’t notice anyone sneaking off to try to catch game 3 of the World Series. Maybe that’s because Tom is a Yankees fan, along with a number of others in attendance…..actually it was a great wedding, with a great band, Moments Notice, to keep people on their feet.


Nate & Melanie’s Wedding at the Haverhill Country Club

Nate & Melanie’s Wedding at the Haverhill Country Club

I photographed Nate and Melanie’s wedding September 14 at the Haverhill Country Club. Nate is a NH State Trooper and an Iraq war veteran, so it was fitting that Scott, the DJ from Mounds of Sound, played “Bad Boys” by the band Inner Circle, the theme song of the TV show COPS, during a lighter moment at the reception. The couple were married at St. James Church in Haverhill. Unfortunately a guest suffered some sort of medical emergency which stopped the celebration short for awhile. Scott is a talented DJ with over twenty years in the business, and he carefully eased the music back after things had settled a bit and gradually brought up the tempo. He really helped save the day by bringing back a happy celebration and having it end on a good note.
