Kevin Jacobus — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 01:36:39 +0000

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.

Joe and Laura’s Engagement Session at Minuteman National Historical Park

Kevin Jacobus — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 18:10:13 +0000

My associate photographer Nicolaus took Joe and Laura to Minuteman National Historical Park in Concord, Massachusetts for their engagement session in early October so they could take advantage of the Fall colors. This is a great spot for portraits for the variety of scenes including rock walls, tall grasses, and of course the historic Old North Bridge. This was the scene of one of the opening battles of the American Revolutionary War. Nicolaus was also their wedding photographer and did a post wedding photo shoot with them as well.

Laura and Mike’s Barn at Gibbet Hill Wedding and Reception

Kevin Jacobus — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 19:25:04 +0000

Late September found me at Laura and Mike’s wedding at the Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA. This is such an amazing venue for weddings. Their food is top-notch, the views a spectacular, the feel is rustic upscale. There are loads of great scenes for portrait possibilities. Laura actually hiked up the hill at the venue to get ready. Unusual and brave indeed, but for good purpose. Mike hiked up after her and they had their first viewing and plenty of time for many more portraits of just the couple than we are usually able to get during a normal wedding timeline. There’s the remains of a castle which make for great photographs. I’m also a preferred photographer at the Barn at Gibbet Hill–this wedding is featured on their website for their wedding functions. Their venue is part of Webber Restaurant Group which also runs Fireside Catering, Scarlet Oak Tavern, the Gibbet Hill Grill, and the Estate at Moraine Farm.

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

Kevin Jacobus — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 16:49:19 +0000

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. Moraine Farm has more of an estate feel. 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!

James and Gail’s Flag Hill Winery Wedding

Kevin Jacobus — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 22:36:34 +0000

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!

Kait and Mike’s Church Landing Wedding

Kevin Jacobus — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 21:49:01 +0000

The second Saturday of September I was up at a very familiar location: Church Landing at Mill Falls in Meredith. I photographed Mike and Kait’s daytime wedding. Early start means lots of daylight. Seems like most established NH wedding photographers are going to spend a fair amount of their time there as they host many weddings each year. I’ve lost count of the exact number I’ve photographed there, but it has rich picture possibilities, so there’s always a fresh angle. It’s also a great location throughout the seasons.

Sandi & Tim’s Granite Rose Wedding Reception

Kevin Jacobus — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 13:59:16 +0000

A day after a Lakes Region wedding with Maryann and Kim, I was further south for Sandi and Jim’s wedding at Methuen Music Hall in Methuen, MA. After the ceremony and a few formal photos, we headed back to NH for their wedding reception at the Granite Rose function facility in Hampstead. I photographed Sandi’s brother’s wedding last year as well.

Adam and Melissa’s Promises To Keep Wedding

Kevin Jacobus — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 03:22:40 +0000

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 wedding photos from Adam and Melissa’s July 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 for Promises to Keep wedding photos 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.

In this gloomy economic environment, it gives me satisfaction to make an announcement that we’re actually growing. It is my belief that our service and attentiveness to our clients, consistently beautiful photography, ability to meet and exceed customer expectations as well as referrals by happy clients have allowed Kevin Jacobus Photography to add services and options in what is certainly the worst economic downturn most of us have ever experienced.

I have also created value packages so we can bring our creative visual arts talent to more people. I have met many potential clients lately and I’ve heard stories of layoffs and worries about the future. We are doing our part by offering many package options including completely customized packages, a gift registry to help with wedding photography costs, and expanded products like high definition video.
