Kelly and Darrell's Engagement Portrait Session at Odiorne State Park

I photographed Kelly and Darrell’s engagement portrait session at Odiorne State Park in Rye, NH in June. We included their cute baby daughter Ava in a number of the photographs. The couple hired us to photograph their wedding at Church Landing in Meredith, NH and we also worked with them on their wedding video as well.

Laura and Frank hosted a welcome home reception for friends, co-workers and family at the Executive Court Banquet Facility in Manchester, NH on the first of May. The couple exchanged vows at a destination wedding on the beach in Florida and had receptions in Ohio and NH.


Church Landing Wedding and Reception

Church Landing Wedding and Reception

Late April found me up at Church Landing at Mill Falls in Meredith, NH to photograph Melissa and Eric’s wedding. Always a great place for a wedding, we took advantage of late afternoon light for a nice portrait with a bit of carefully placed lens flare.


Trash the Dress Photo Session, Nashua Mill Buildings

Trash the Dress Photo Session, Nashua Mill Buildings

I took frequent client Trista down to the Mill buildings in downtown Nashua for a trash the dress session with an urban feel. The brick buildings, fire escapes, a pedestrian bridge and some graffiti all lend nice elements to the theme. It’s right by Mine Falls Park too, so we took advantage of that for some variety.


James and Gail’s Flag Hill Winery Wedding

James and Gail’s Flag Hill Winery Wedding

Nicolaus, one of my associates, was the photographer for James and Gail’s wedding at Flag Hill Winery in Lee, New Hampshire while I was up at Church Landing for another wedding. The couple kept the wine country theme going with a honeymoon in Italy. They had to dodge a few raindrops during their ceremony, but it cleared up enough for some outdoor portraits of the couple afterward. Hopefully they had better weather in Italy!


Lakes Region Family Portrait Session

Lakes Region Family Portrait Session

I took Robert and Trista and their kids to Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough, NH for their family portrait session in late August. Castle in the Clouds is a tourist spot for great views and for grabbing a lunch, and of course they host weddings and receptions too. It also makes a great spot for a day out with the family including an on location portrait session. Kevin Jacobus Photography has worked quite a bit with Trista and her family. My associate photographer Nicolaus photographed their vows renewal at Belknap Mills in Laconia, NH and Trista and I worked together on her “Trash the Dress” session in downtown Nashua, NH and in Greeley Park.


Maryanne and Kim’s Home Barn wedding and Backyard Tent Reception

Maryanne and Kim’s Home Barn wedding and Backyard Tent Reception

Being a NH wedding photographer means having the opportunity to photograph weddings by the sea, in the mountains, on lakes, and in New England country barns. The latter was the case for me in mid-August for Maryanne and Kim’s wedding. They had a rustic barn on their property in the hills of in Gilford, NH, a town that borders Lake Winnipesaukee on the south side. A prominent guest hired a pilot and an aerial photographer to fly over the property between the ceremony and reception so that the newlywed couple could be photographed waving as seen from the unusual view from an airplane. In attendance was former New England Patriots cheerleader Britni Baron.


Adam and Melissa’s Promises To Keep Wedding

Adam and Melissa’s Promises To Keep Wedding

Well, now that the new website is up and running, time to catch up on a bunch of blog posts for weddings, events and portraits we’ve photographed over the last year. Getting started with Adam and Melissa’s wedding and reception at Promises To Keep in Derry, NH. Rain forced an indoor ceremony, but it dried up enough for outdoor portraits, which always makes me happy since the grounds at Promises to Keep are a strong point for weddings there and it would be a shame to not be able to take advantage. I also photographed their engagement session earlier in the year- take a look.

Trash the Dress

Trash the Dress

Trash the Dress? Not usually. It’s an industry term that has caught on to refer to post-wedding photo sessions. The idea is to create a collection of photographs you wouldn’t be able to on your wedding day. We’ve heard from more than a few brides how they would have loved a beach wedding, circumstances usually preventing that. Most of the time the dress isn’t harmed, other needing a trip to the cleaner’s. Trash the dress may be the most commonly heard term, but it’s also called an encore session, rock the dress, drown the gown, day after session, rock the frock, etc. It’s also a time to be photographed without worrying about getting a dress dirty or if a couple just wants more time creating a series of portraits than the normal timeline of a wedding day permits. A trash the dress session is not about destroying a dress, it’s about the creation of a bold and unique set of photographs you might not otherwise do. If you want the best of both worlds, keep your wedding dress stored away if you are worried about harming it and get an inexpensive dress on eBay or other thrifty means. We’ve had a number of clients do that and report that the cheap dress they bought fit better than the one on their wedding day!
