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!

We lucked out with a nice sunset. Yana and Ty aren’t shy on the dance floor, but they are self aware when being photographed. Thankfully they obliged this photograph made quick with help holding a light from their videographer so I wouldn’t have to set up a light stand. I think they’ll appreciate the results. (For photographers out there- I used a Honl grid over a Nikon SB-800 flash unit off camera triggered by pocket wizard multimax transceivers)

Dancin’ shoes!

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 photographer with a couple sharing the same spot by the pond for their engagement photographs too. Marisa is the maid of honor for Jill, whose wedding I’m shooting next year. I also photographed Jill and Matt’s engagement earlier this year. What a great way to work. I like being a familiar face by the time the wedding has come around.

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

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.

I love the looks these boys are exchanging! The boy in the sitting in the pew will feel the pressure later though as seen in a photo below…..

Four girls try to convince this boy to dance with them! Nice problem to have…..

Jill and Matt’s Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

Kevin Jacobus — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:37:33 +0000

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

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!

Nate & Melanie’s Wedding at the Haverhill Country Club

Kevin Jacobus — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:48:46 +0000

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.
