Karen & Scott’s Red, White & Blue Wedding

The key to pulling off a beautiful themed wedding is subtlety. Karen & Scott planned their Independence Day wedding in perfect style! There were lovely red, white and blue touches throughout the day without taking over the entire room. Their first dance “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin (that’s right, from Top Gun) was a perfect nod to Scott’s Navy background. Scott and his groomsmen even pulled off a fabulous (if not entirely in tune) rendition of “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling.” It was a blast! Bride’s and groom’s to be, take some notes from this fun and classy themed wedding!

Stephanie & Brian’s Andover Wedding

When I first spoke with Stephanie about her wedding, she said she wanted an “easy, relaxed day.” No drama for this bride! And that’s exactly what she got. But it had nothing to do with me. Stephanie and Brian are just that…easy and relaxed. They were so sweet to each other and so fun! It was a beautiful day filled with family and friends celebrated by the light of a beautiful super moon.

Teddy & Sean’s Seaport Boston Wedding

I had the pleasure of working with Sean’s wonderful mom Debbie for all their wedding plans. Debbie obviously has great taste as she chose me as her photographer (he he he!) and my beloved Seaport as the property. It was obvious how excited Debbie was for her son and future daughter-in-law and how she wanted everything to be just perfect for them. But there is always an element of surprise when walking into a situation where you haven’t met your clients. And what a lovely surprise! From the second I walked into Teddy’s wedding suite, I felt welcome and comfortable. It’s obvious, Teddy is a beauty, which never hurts! But more importantly, Teddy and Sean were so comfortable with each other and so happy together. Some of Teddy’s family also flew in from overseas, which made for even more of a celebration. I was so honored to be a part of their special day.

Carol & Connor’s Boston Wedding

Carol and Connor met in a truly singular way…at the very romantic Newark airport. While waiting for their luggage, they realized they had the same green ribbon tied on the suitcase to make it stand out. They’ve saved that ribbon and it was pinned into Carol’s bouquet on their wedding day. And it was a beautiful day! The rain couldn’t touch Carol and Connor’s excitement. At times, I’d see Carol out of the corner of my eye just give a little shake or jump in excitement. It makes their first dance so appropriate…Overwhelmed. I love it!

Alyssa & Harold’s Endicott Estate Wedding

Alyssa & Harold are special to me! Alyssa is the sister of a good friend and I was so honored to be a part of their wedding day. I spent the day at Endicott Estate with them and I was so impressed by how calm and relaxed they both were. They were surrounded by family and friends and quite obviously were in their element. Yes, it was a rainy day. But the sun was shining over Alyssa & Harold!

Anna & Patrick’s Seaport Wedding

There is something about the Hahn & Kerrigan families. They have a way of making you feel like family within minutes. I was honored to be a part of Anna & Pat’s wedding day at Seaport (where I also feel like family!). But as Anna’s maid of honor eloquently said, Anna & Pat’s marriage was much bigger than the two of them. I truly witnessed a marriage of two families rather than two individuals. It was easy to see the Hahn’s and Kerrigan’s have decades of fun together before them! Congratulations to you all!!

Meredith & Ryan’s Spring Wedding at the Taj

The day with Meredith and Ryan was full of fun! And some surprises! We started getting ready at the Taj and I was so touched by the number of heirlooms Meredith and Ryan were able to incorporate into their attire. They had special accessories passed down from grandparents and great grandparents that included Meredith’s broach & purse and Ryan’s cufflinks and watch. What a lovely way to be reminded of your history as you look forward to your new future as husband and wife. We had a perfect time in the Public Garden (as crowded as it was!) and were able to return to the city streets after sunset. I was thrilled to hear Meredith and Ryan were not afraid to play in traffic with me! And in the middle of that traffic, we ran into some friendly and gracious Boston Fire Fighters who let us borrow their truck for some extra special images. Then it was time to whisk the two of them back to the Taj Rooftop Ballroom to dance the night away with one of my favorite bands, K2. It was such a blast!

Amy & Keith’s One Year Anniversary

Amy and Keith have been married one year. And as their lives are about to take them across the country, they wanted to mark this special time in their lives living inBoston. I’m so glad they did! We spent an afternoon finding some spots they knew would remind them of their beloved Boston. Amy and Keith expressed their wonderful relationship and truly singular personalities in each photo. As you’ll see, one of their hobbies is acrobatics! It was so much fun to photograph them climb, stretch and pop into handstands! I’m sad to see Amy & Keith leave our fair city, but I’m am thrilled for them and their new adventure!

Jennifer & Nader’s Classic Rooftop Wedding

I liked Jennifer & Nader as soon as I met them! They were absolute naturals in front of the camera during their engagement shoot and they were even more easy and fun at the wedding. Jennifer and Nader really wanted to celebrate their beloved Boston on their wedding day. I started with Jennifer getting ready at the Taj in Boston which is such a classic looking location. Perfect for my classic beauty of a bride! We headed to the ceremony in Medford where the sun streamed into the church’s stained glass windows and made everything dreamy. Wedding party photos were at the Public Garden for the perfect Boston backdrop. And finally, we all headed back to the Taj where the rooftop ballroom gave us a truly singular view of the city. It was the perfect location to celebrate their marriage!

How Handsome is My Husband!

As many of you who have followed this blog know, my husband is a professional musician. And as adorable as my husband is, I’ve never done a studio session with him! I’ve shot just about every member of his band except him. I’m so happy to say that has finally changed. My very talented and musical genius (an NO I’m not biased) husband has recently gotten some attention due to a personal music project. He was interviewed by Saxophone Journal not so long ago and they needed an image for the cover. How lucky to have a wife as a professional photographer! I was a bit worried as we’ve never tried this before. We’re great partners, but have never had a client/photographer dynamic. That can be different, but it was so much fun! Chris is a natural in front of the camera and very photogenic (once again, not at all biased) which made my job very easy. I wonder if you think he’s as handsome as I do??? And while I’m in the bragging mood, below are some live images taken of him recently. Will be sure to show off some more when the Saxophone Journal article and his new […]
