Dave and Kerry - Aruba

Dave and Kerry had a destination wedding at The Divi Resort in Aruba!

The weather was absolutely perfect - every last inch of Aruba looks like it should be on a post card!

I love the natural colors of the Island - Aruba is gorgeous...

Kerry wore a beautiful necklace that Dave had given her as a gift... and speaking of gifts, I love the personalized embroidered handkerchief for Dave's mom, Twigg.....

Kerry's beautiful dress had floral accents while her bridesmaids wore fabulous hot pink and white patterned bridesmaid dresses... Love the colors!

Love 'The first sight" when couples see each other before the wedding ceremony.....

It allows for some quick shots before the ceremony....

Off to the sunset ceremony at The Divi Phoenix... on world famous Eagle Beach...

Husband and Wife....

One of my favoritest shots from the group photos.....

Their reception was amazing.... but my favorite was their first dance, barefoot on the beach... how romantic!

For all of my destination wedding clients, I encourage them to take advantage of the area for some day after photos.... For Dave and Kerry, I was dying to go to the famous Divi tree back on Eagle beach.... We met at The Divi and started out shoot there... I loved the texture of this wall...

We grabbed a cab and headed down to Eagle Beach..... Thats the shot I had in my mind!

Oh hello Rainbow...

Heading back to the hotel.... but not before a special shot for Dave's mom, Twigg, who I just love to pieces.

The Cabanas back at The Divi were awesome.... and fortunately no one was up yet using them..

The next couple of photos say everything there is to say about having your wedding in Aruba....

Dave and Kerry - Thank you so much for having me as your photographer! I loved documenting your beautiful wedding!

Catching up....

Imagine how awkward I felt when chris asked me the other day "Have you really not updated your blog since July 2009?"

hmmmm......... yes, it was true.....

I have had some amazing assignment already this year and i can't wait to share....

Thank you for checking this blog often and leaving some fancy comments :)

Katie O'Malley - Anytime

My super galpal Katie O'Malley who is the Vice President of Sparkle and Romance from DestinationBride.com made this big journey to Boston for some glamorous headshots!

First we teamed up with the amazingly talented makeup artist Lisa Roche from Luxe Beautique in Swampscott.... She primped and pampered Katie while Kristen, Katie's sister and one of my bestest girlfriends, and I looked on!So after Lisa worked her magic, we used some of the light reflecting off the Ocean across the street to capture some incredible images.
Then we took a quick walk down to G Bar and used the more of that beautiful light. G Bar's interior design was perfect, modern, swanky and sexy....
We then headed over to Nahant, for some beachside photos and some of the sweetest light on the north shore!



If it hadn't been so windy and chilly, we would have gone down to the beach and splashed around... so I made Katie promise me that we would do another session later in the summer!

Katie, I had such a great time with you! I wish we lived closer so we could spend more time together!
Im so excited to be working with you and being a DestinationBride.Com photographer!!!

Chris and Amanda : Engagement

Chris and Amanda are two very special people in my life. Chris is the brother of one of my dear Friends (and brides) Jennifer and Amanda is the love of his life! They have such a wonderful love story with their life paths crossing at different times over the years.



To start their exciting session, we ventured down to one of their favorite places, and one of the best places to go in Boston, Faneuil Hall Market Place! For all of you Boston trivia fans, did you know that the first Faneuil Hall burned down in 1761, 19 years after it was constructed? The existing building was completed in 1763. Also for the trivia buffs, This is where Samuel Adams and fellow revolutionary colonists gathered!


Chris did a realy teriffic job keeping Amanda nice and warm!!!

We then headed over to the water to one of my favorite budings at The New England Aquiarium..


Anyone remember the commercial of the little girl who could 'walk like a penguin'??



If it were only warmer, we could have been on one of these boats instead of just admiring them from a distance!


One of my favorite views of the city....



And who can't appreciate the fabulous coats they were wearing... well done!



We really had such a great time during our session - If only it had been warmer! Thank you Chris and Amanda, the love that you two share made a very cold morning all the more warm!!!

Bryon and Malinda - Wentworth by the Sea Country Club

For Malinda and Bryon, the summer of 2007 was the season of celebration!!! They first exchanged vows and leis at Plum Islands Blu Inn on September 13th and then one week later, they had a church ceremony, complete with a new gown, rings, a veil and lots of dining and dancing!





And Bryon was looking so so so very handsome!



Malinda... so elegant....







Malinda took a Trolley to her ceremony...and it was just a little windy with all of the windows wide open!











We all jumped on the trolly and headed to the reception which was held at The Wentworth by the Sea Country Club in Rye, NH.






Some of the fabulous details...




First Dance...





When the sun set, the fog rolled in and we did some photos as close to the water as we could get...






See more of Bryon and Malinda's second wedding celebration photos below...

Thank you Bryon and Malinda for sharing both of your celebrations with me!!! I am so glad that I got to capture your day and I am so glad that there will be more moments we'll share!!!
