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.

A Phone Call from Iraq

I photographed Emily and Jay’s wedding Sept. 13, 2008. I first met Emily and her family while covering a story on her brother Ross when I worked for The Telegraph, who was deploying with his Marine Corps Reserve unit to Iraq. I’ve been photographing their family for 5 years, and many of their family events have been punctuated by farewells and welcome home ceremonies for Ross.

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.

Lots of stuff in the works!

So busy lately, so the blog has been slow in updating. I’ve got lots of exciting things in process. I’ll soon have a new website and blog all integrated together. I hired John Flynn of Kickstart Media to do the site and branding. I will also have a video of me at work that will [...]

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!

Chris & Cathleen’s Wedding at Church Landing

I was back at Church Landing in Meredith for Chris and Cathleen’s wedding August 30, 2008. Here’s a few photos….

Melinda and Jeff’s Wedding at Searles Castle

I photographed Melinda and Jeff’s wedding August 24 at Searles Castle in Windham, NH. I think Melinda might possibly be one of the nicest brides I’ve ever worked with. There’s a photo below of her dancing and I think you can see that kind, happy demeanor beaming right out of her. I spent a lot [...]

Chip and Sharon’s Wedding at Church Landing

I photographed Chip and Sharon’s wedding at Church Landing in Meredith, NH, Saturday August 23, 2008. I photographed Chip getting ready on his boat, which can be conveniently docked right at the wedding location. I was waiting beside his boat for him to return from an errand and a woman came along and asked if someone famous was getting married.

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 [...]

Great Green Greek Wedding at Rye Harbor State Park

Alright, so that headline was a weak attempt at alliteration perhaps. It was a Greek wedding though. With green dresses, ties, bows, cake, and antique car. And it was a great wedding in a beautiful little chapel followed by a tented reception by the ocean. Erin and Tim were married August 16 at the Union Chapel in North Hampton, NH followed by a reception at Rye Harbor 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

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.

Allergic Reactions to Henna

Interesting read about the dye for henna body art– a particular type of dye used can cause permanent scarring. I’ve only seen henna in regard to Indian weddings, but evidently it’s gaining popularity elsewhere, and black henna is the culprit. Story about it here.

8.8.08

I’ve flown in a biplane before with pilot Rob Holland of Aerial Advantage at the Nashua Airport. I was working on a business news story on him when I was with the Nashua Telegraph. He’s now with Rob Holland Ultimate Airshows. This stuff can be rough on the stomach. I think I’d hold off on the wedding cake if I had been the photographer for the wingwalker wedding!

Stacey and Chris’s Wedding at Bear Island on Lake Winnipesaukee

I headed up to Lake Winnipesaukee for Chris and Stacey’s wedding August 2nd. They had boats ferrying guests to Bear Island, where Stacey’s family has a vacation home. I was there all day, which meant I was able to accompany Chris and some early-arriving guests on a hike around the island. There’s an old church towards the center of the island called St. John’s on the Lake. Church-goers arrive by boat and hike up to the church for services. Their ceremony, however, was held on Stacey’s parent’s property. The rain held off until the end of the day, so kids could play all day, which meant lots of squirt gun battles and swimming. Of course, Chris and some of his adult guests took advantage of the lake setting to cool off too. I got off the island in the nick of time at the end of the day– a major thunderstorm was brewing and I just got back to the dock in Meredith, NH when the thunder and lightning started.

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.

Emily and Jay’s Engagement Session in Nashua

I took Emily and Jay to a man-made pond along Gilson Road in Nashua, NH July 10 for an engagement session. I have known Emily’s family for years going back to when I was a photographer for The Telegraph. I spent a year covering stories on her brother Ross, a Marine Corps reservist who was part of Marine Wing Support Squadron 472 at the time. We all got to know each other quite well through good times and tough times– Ross has been deployed to Iraq before at the Al Asad air base near the Syrian border. It’ll be great seeing everyone together again when I shoot Emily’s wedding in September, although bittersweet, since Ross is heading back to Iraq for another deployment, this time to Fallujah, so he won’t be able to attend the wedding.

Laura and Chris’s Wedding on Lake Ossipee

Laura and Chris had their wedding and reception on the shores of Leavitt Bay on Lake Ossipee in Center Ossipee, NH, July 5th in Laura’s parents lakeside backyard. Her mom is a wedding photographer too. I love the photograph of her becoming tearful while hugging her daughter. She was helping put Laura’s necklace on, and I think the sentiments of the moment hit her then. I had competition too- a young family member jumped in to grab a shot during the formals!

Sarah and Jon’s Wedding at The Granite Rose

Sarah and Jon were married at the First Congregational Church in Methuen, MA, followed by a reception at The Granite Rose in Hampstead, NH, Sunday June 29. It was hot and humid, so everyone was glad to get inside following formal photos. Later, we had quite a thunderstorm that almost stopped the music–power flickered a bit and everyone held their breath for a moment.

Jennifer and Mike’s Wedding at the Executive Court in Manchester

Jenn and Mike were married at the Brookside Congregational Church in Manchester, NH June 28. Their reception was held at the Executive Court, also in Manchester. I’ve included some photos of humorous reactions– take a look at the baby photo, and also the one of Mike after a sip of champagne– I gather it’s not his favorite drink! I got a kick out of one of the staff members at the Executive Court–she got into the action by joining the conga line on her way from clearing a table!

Tiffany and Jeff’s Wedding at The Granite Rose in Hampstead

Tiffany and Jeff had a great time at their wedding and reception at The Granite Rose in Hampstead, NH June 21st. Both the guys and the ladies hammed it up with the fedoras.

Tiffany and Jeff’s Engagement Session at The Granite Rose

I shot an engagement session with Tiffany and Jeff June 3rd during a planning meeting for their upcoming wedding at The Granite Rose in Hampstead. They used a photo from the session for a signature board at their wedding as guests entered.

Emily and Brendan’s Wedding in Lisbon, Maine

I photographed Emily and Brendan’s wedding at Holy Trinity Church in Lisbon Falls, Maine, May 31st. The couple lives in Somerville, MA, but Brendan is from Maine and they were married there to take advantage of Brendan’s parents home for a backyard tented wedding reception. Both of them are hilarious jokers, as you can see from a lot of the photos of them clowning around. And so it was a bit surprising to me, and I’m sure for Emily, when nerves got the better of her for a moment as she was getting ready. I like how all the female family members are attending to her with great concern. The moment passed quickly enough; it was all smiles and laughter after that.
