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…..

Deann and Jeremy’s Wedding at Pat’s Peak

I photographed Deann and Jeremy’s wedding and reception at Pat’s Peak in Henniker, NH July 19. It was another hot and humid one, and a thunderstorm threatened all afternoon. Right as guests were seated for the outdoor ceremony, the downpour began, so we had to rush inside and do the ceremony in stifling heat. Jeremy is a Navy man-submariner specifically. His boat is on exercises in Florida, so he flew up right before the wedding. Most of his friends are military, and couldn’t make the wedding. Seems to be a theme here like my last post– military families making sacrifices, such as friends or relatives not being able to attend major family gatherings. They made the best of it, despite the heat, rain, and military obligations of friends unable to attend and partied hard nonetheless.

This is not a great picture– I uploaded it because I thought it was interesting what it involved. Those poles in the photo are temporary lolley columns that are moved into place underneath the dance floor. Hmmm……hope dancing doesn’t bring the party crashing down…..
