Stephanie & Joel’s Bedford Village Inn Wedding

Kevin Jacobus — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:26:04 +0000

A short trip up the road on Friday, Oct 1 found me at Stephanie and Joel’s wedding at the Bedford Village Inn along with Fall intern Christine for her first wedding as an assistant. This is a fun crowd that I’ve photographed before-I photographed Stephanie’s brother Derek’s wedding at the Atkinson Country Club last year as well. Rick Flair made a surprise appearance as a courtesy of one of Joel’s groomsmen, and in the spirit of having fun, the groomsmen decided to try to fit themselves into a phone booth in the Milk Room at the inn. Somehow, they managed the feat quite well! With Christine’s help, we lit a stairway portrait of Stephanie as well as a video light portrait with the inn as the background later in the reception.

Ben & Amy’s Gunstock Wedding

Kevin Jacobus — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 00:35:54 +0000

Associate photographer Elena and I headed up to Gunstock in Gilford, NH Sept. 18 for Ben and Amy’s wedding. Elena met the women at Misty Harbor Resort Hotel for some portraits on the beach at Lake Winnipesaukee while I photographed the groomsmen. Then we photographed the ceremony together along with the reception. There was an emotional moment during the ceremony as they held a remembrance for Ben’s father who passed a couple years ago. The mother of Ben’s best man Andrew (Holly Noble) officiated. In keeping with having close personal connections also serving as service providers, friends of theirs from the J Biddy Band performed so they had a great party band that connected with guests.

Last but certainly not least, best man Andrew stunned the crowd at the end of his speech with a surprise proposal to his girlfriend who was in attendance. This was my first time witnessing a wedding proposal right as it happened and it was a great moment. Andrew had checked with Ben for permission so as not to steal the show. He did for a little while though. Sort of hard not too with something like that! I was right on it and captured all the action as it unfolded! See it below.

Kelly & Darrell’s Church Landing Wedding at Mill Falls

Kevin Jacobus — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 23:19:15 +0000

Dan and I headed up to Meredith, New Hampshire September 4 on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee for Kelly and Darrell’s wedding at Church Landing. I did the photography while Dan shot their video. The couple hired us for their engagement session, wedding photography, wedding video and a photo album! Weddings at Church Landing are very popular as they have a Sperry sailcloth tent for an outdoor wedding ceremony and a large, well decorated ballroom with a fireplace for the reception.

The couple are huge baseball fans, although for rival teams! Darrell is a Yankees fan, Kelly is a card-carrying member of Red Sox nation. She did however, budge a bit for the sake of a happy marriage by surprising Darrell with Yankees tickets- hidden in her garter of course. That got a priceless reaction during the reception!

There were some emotional moments during parent dances–Darrell danced with his sisters as his mom had passed and that brought some tears to a lot of eyes at the reception.

Venue and Vendors:
Venue: Church Landing
Flowers: Ladd Hill Gardens
DJ: Phat Kat Productions, Vince Allo
Officiant: Leo O’Connell, Captain & Safety Director, M/S Mount Washington

Thomas and Jill’s Wedding at the Castleton

Kevin Jacobus — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 21:12:52 +0000

My associate photographer Beth photographed Tom and Jill’s wedding at the Castleton in Windham, NH August 21. Tom is a military service member and was decked out in his dress blues for the occasion. Of course Jill looked stunning and she broke out a fedora for a little extra fun on the dance floor during the reception. He’s based in Texas, so they planned their wedding from afar. We are more than happy to work over e-mail and phone to make sure the wedding day goes off without a hitch.

Corinne & Brian’s Wedding at Flag Hill Winery

Kevin Jacobus — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 01:34:44 +0000

July 23 found me at the beautiful Flag Hill Winery in Lee, NH for Corinne and Brian’s wedding. Brian was quite emotional as he saw Corinne for the first time as she proceeded down the aisle. That wasn’t the end to the waterworks: not a second after the ceremony was done, the sky opened up. Not to worry, summer rains are often fleeting. Such was the case here and we were able to take advantage of the setting for some gorgeous vineyard wedding portraits.

Ami and Dave’s Wedding & Reception

Kevin Jacobus — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 23:55:48 +0000

July 10 was a busy weekend for us at Kevin Jacobus Photography. Nicolaus was at the Wachusett Inn, Chet was at Danversport Yacht Club and I was photographing Ami and Dave’s wedding. Ami and Dave were referred to me by Ami’s cousin, whose wedding I photographed the previous year at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, NH. This was another wedding where we made our portraits in between the raindrops. One eye on the sky and one on the couple, so no one got soaked and we still made all the photos we expected!

Sarina & Patrick’s Bedford Village Inn Wedding

Kevin Jacobus — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:44:56 +0000

In July, I started off the month at the Bedford Village Inn for Sarina and Patrick’s wedding. Patrick had some pretty cool cuff links-rather tough looking skull and cross bones! That struck a contrast to how nervous he looked before the ceremony. No matter, the wedding went off without a hitch, save a bit of friendly heckling from a guest to lighten the mood! Once Sarina made it down the aisle, all was well. I managed to sneak the couple outside for a few night portraits.

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

Kevin Jacobus — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 04:40:38 +0000

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.

Kelley and Josh’s Promises to Keep Wedding and Reception

Kevin Jacobus — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 02:14:11 +0000

Kelley and Josh were married at Promises to Keep in Derry, NH in the second week of May. Promises to Keep is another venue I frequent fairly often being a NH wedding photographer close to the facility. Kelley surprised Josh with a groom’s cake in the shape of a video game console at the reception. The joke was on him as it was suggested that this was goodbye to video games!
