Kerry & Mike’s Turner Hill Wedding Reception

Kerry & Mike’s Turner Hill Wedding Reception

Chet and I photographed Kerry & Mike’s wedding in October. Their ceremony was performed at St. Rose of Lima Parish in Topsfield, MA followed by a reception at Turner Hill in Ipswich. Kerry’s beautiful grey cat was quite interested in all the getting ready activity and appeared to want to get a free ride on the train of her dress! After the ceremony, we headed over to Turner Hill which is a stately venue for weddings and also a fine golf club. I was watching the movie Shutter Island a month or so later and was surprised to recognize Turner Hill as one of the locations in the film, although modified with computer graphics.


Chris & Mariamne’s wedding at Smith Barn at Brooksby Farm

Chris & Mariamne’s wedding at Smith Barn at Brooksby Farm

On the last Saturday in August, I photographed Chris and Mariamne’s wedding at the Smith Barn at Brooksby Farm in Peabody, Massachusetts. This is another one of those hidden North Shore gems that surprises the visitor with its rural setting in the middle of busy suburbs. In that regard, it reminds me of another north shore wedding venue- Moraine Farm in Beverly, MA. However, Moraine Farm has more of an estate feel and only has space for tent weddings. The Smith Barn has a nice rustic feel and there are multiple buildings, fences, lawns and an orchard to round out the possibilities for portrait photography choices. We took advantage of them all!

Jill and Matt’s April Wedding at Topsfield Commons

I photographed Jill and Matt’s wedding ceremony and reception April 17, 2009 at the Topsfield Commons. The ladies got ready at a rented home on Plum Island in Newburyport, MA and we were able to head to the beach after for some photos before the ceremony. I had my associate Nicolaus with me and he photographed the guys getting ready at The Garrison Inn in Newburyport. They all headed down to the boardwalk in Newburyport Harbor for some photographs of the guys.


Jill and Matt’s Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

Jill and Matt's Engagement Session at Maudslay State Park

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.
