Britt’s Surprise Birthday, the All White Celebration

Britt and Kevin are a very special couple to me! I was honored to photograph their gorgeous Newport wedding in 2009. Then I was thrilled to be called to photograph their first baby this winter. This weekend, I was there to capture Britt’s surprise birthday celebration. Kevin pulled out all the stops for Britt! It was a fabulous day (husbands everywhere, prepare to have the birthday bar raised)! We started at the GTO spa on Newbury Street in Boston where Britt spent the entire day being pampered including hair and makeup at the end. Kevin had three white dresses ready for Britt to choose for the party. We had a quick mini-session on the rooftop of the spa and it was off to the party at the Griffin Museum of Photography! Kevin hired event coordinator Donna Kim (who also did the wedding…yes the band was getting back together!) to create an all white party. Guests arrived in their finest white outfits to dine and dance all evening. It was beautiful!

Abbie + Alex’s Fabulous Boston Wedding

Abbie and Alex are one of the most fun couples I’ve ever worked with! They had a stunning wedding in the heart of Boston. We starting at the utterly cool Revere Hotel where we staged their first look on the rooftop overlooking the city. After the ceremony guests were invited to celebrate at a fabulous restaurant a few blocks away called Post 390. It was a non-traditional space, and so fun for a wedding. Guests listened to some truly heartfelt speeches and dined bistro style. Through it all Abbie and Alex just glowed. I loved watching them together!

Kristina + Sean’s Oceanside Wedding at Wentworth by the Sea

Kristina and Sean’s wedding was a party from the first moment I saw them! Kristina’s smile was completely plastered on her face. We tried to do some sassy, serious images at one point…no way… she couldn’t stop smiling! And Sean was the same, except for the moment he fought back tears when Kristina walked down the aisle. The celebration started long before we reached the gorgeous Wentworth by the Sea with a rocking trolley ride. I’ll never listen to The Who again without thinking of that trolley ride. It was a fantastic day!

Natalie + James’ Simple and Elegant Tent Wedding

Natalie and James’ wedding was the perfect picture of simple elegance. From the ceremony under the arch of baby’s breath and vines (made by the bride, no less) to the mason jars with lace and candles adorning the tables, everything was gorgeous and nothing was overdone. The ceremony and reception took place at the Connors Center which is a total hidden gem in Dover, MA. The outdoor grounds are breathtaking and guests were truly allowed to enjoy the outdoor experience as they spent the evening looking at the night sky through the clear top tent. I was honored to be working with a beloved colleague Paula Marrero of Marrero Events on this beautiful wedding!

Leanne + Justin’s Snowy Wedding at the Barn at Gibbet Hill

So I’ll admit it. I was really hoping for a beautiful spring day for Leanne and Justin! There are so many gorgeous outdoor spots at the Barn at Gibbet Hill. I wanted to take advantage of them all! Well life laughs as we make our plans. We woke to a chilly, clear day with snow covering the surrounding hills. I can work with that! Leanne and Justin (and their fabulous wedding party) were total champs braving the cold to get those beautiful outdoor images. I feel so lucky to have (what I hope are) some of the last snow flakes of the year on those hills! Leanne and Justin’s easy and fun personalities made the rest of the day perfect.

Spring Wedding Fever!

I’m cold. No, I’m really cold! But I know Spring is just around the corner. And while I dream of the April showers bringing May flowers, I get excited for my 2014 Spring Weddings! Spring weddings in New England are truly special. Spring in Boston is colorful, fragrant and romantic. And Spring weddings in Boston are the same! As I look forward to Spring in Boston, I think back to some of my favorite Spring wedding photos.

Rozzie + Ben’s Winter Wedding

Through my many years of wedding experience, I have learned the details that make a wedding truly special and memorable have nothing to do with money. The details that are special about your wedding day come from your history, your traditions, your relationship with your partner and your loved ones. Rozzie + Ben’s wedding at the Hilton Boston Logan was certainly elegant and quite lavish. But the emotion and tradition I captured that day trumped all else. Rozzie + Ben had a very traditional Jewish wedding complete with a Tisch and Bedeken. Along with the Ketubah signing, these three beautiful and meaningful ceremonies marry a couple before the actual ceremony. I’m so excited to share their story with you!

Donna + Todd’s New Year’s Wedding

New Year’s weddings are almost always the most fun wedding of the year! There is an added festive feeling in the air. Guests arrive ready for a party! This year was no different. Donna and Todd are such a wonderful couple! I’ve been looking forward to their wedding since they booked. We had a fantastic engagement session where I heard all about their goal of achieving their black belt together right around the time of the wedding. Yes, I had visions of one of them showing up with a black eye. Well, there were no visual bruises, but you’ll notice that after the ceremony, Donna is not wearing her ring on her left hand….ahem. All in all, a great evening with a fantastic group of people!

Year in Review, Part Eight

Weddings The Celebration! The planning is over. The formals are taken. He’s kissed the bride. It’s time to party! This is when the bride and groom finally get to give a sigh of relief and celebrate with their closest friends and relatives. And this is the when I am able to truly disappear. No, I don’t leave the wedding! But I take a step back, put my long lens on and capture the beautiful emotion happening all around me. The story teller in me does a little dance of joy! This is my last post of 2013, and I think it’s perfect to finish the year with some of my favorite reception photos. We end the year with toasts, dancing and cake…perfection! It’s been an honor capturing these truly singular memories over the past year. I can’t wait to see you all in 2014. There will be many more adventures to come! Happy New Year!

Year in Review, Part Seven

Weddings The Details The wedding day details are truly important! They’re the little mementos and projects couples work on to add meaning and personality to the day. Since many of these details are not saved (flowers, favors, place cards, etc.) a great photo can be the only way to remember the items and the work put into selecting, and sometimes creating them. Sometimes, the location or backdrop of a wedding can be the most fabulous detail. I’ve photographed on beautiful beaches, rustic farms and against amazing city skylines. Through the year, I’ve been deeply touched by the heirlooms I’ve seen as well, everything from a gorgeous broach from a great grandmother’s wedding to a piece of flannel from a deceased father’s favorite shirt. What a beautiful way to keep your loved ones close.
