new things to blog......

SO.... what a whirlwind of a wedding season it is right now!!!!

In April we witnessed as Lisa and Jason exchanged vows... in May we watched as Jamie and Elizabeth had an amazing wedding in Napa Valley.... June brought us to Jenn and Brians big apple wedding under the Brooklyn Bridge.... and who could forget to mention Rose and Alex's (aka RoLex) four days of wedding events in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

and somehow inbetween these amazing weddings, I got to photograph some of the most gorgeous babies and kids.... Kevin, Sadie T, Jesse, Hannah, Timmy, Olivia, Ellie, Tate, Jessie, Julie, Eliza, Nathan, Sadie L and Ellie H, Ariyanna, Charlotte and a few more!

Also, I would be crazy to not mention the ambush bachelorette party that Rose's friends threw for her... that event was like nothing I had ever photographed before....... to say the least!

and I almost forgot.... we photographed some charity events for The Jimmy Fund as well as Chernobyl Childrens's Project

All in all, it has been extremely busy around here and I find myself wishing I had four hands to get everything done.....


okay, back to work for me!

Kate and Jared: Engagement

Since the day I met Kate, I knew that I would love her forever. We met on a warm summer day when I photographed her family at their home in Newton, MA.

So when she called to tell me that Jared had finally proposed to her, I screamed!!... I was SO

 excited for her because I know she is going to have an incredible wedding!

Here are some of the photos that we did for her engagement session at Crystal Lake in Newton, their home in South Boston and a little stop in downtown Boston.... 

We had a blast!

Thank you Kate and Jared for the hours of laughing! Im looking forward to your wedding!!!!

 

Nightshift Boston's best wedding band at Nordstroms!

Wow, Has it really been two months since my last blog entry! So much is going on around here! I swear I will catch up one of these days!

Anyhow, a couple of weeks ago, Chris and I made a special trip up to Peabody to see my favorite band in the entire world, Nightshift. The band, with the exception of Karen, was the entertainment at The Nordstroms grand opening at The North Shore Mall in Peabody!

They really are the most incredible musicians I have ever heard!!!

Here are a couple of photos I grabbed....


Many Thanks to Ray for the "shout out" during one of his songs... ha! People were probably wondering who 'Jess' was and since when was it part of that song!


I have been working with Nightshift at Boston weddings throughout my photography career.... Hopefully someday they will perform at my wedding!

Featured on The Rachel Ray show!

We were so thrilled to hear that our dear friend Katie from Destination Bride would be appearing on Rachel Ray to talk about online dating!

We were ever MORE excited that Katie would be using a photo that we took of her as part of her segment!

Way to Go Katie O! You were so sparkly!!!!

Rachel and Joe - Wedding

Rachel and Joe - Mount Hope Farm, Bristol, RI

It was SUCh a gorgeous October day when Rachel and Joe exchanged bows in the town of Bristol, RI, situated on Narraganset Bay.






We did our formals in Colt State Park... which was incredible... it was completely on the ocean, and had a tree lined section with a stone wall and lots of leaves on the ground.... it was the perfect spot.



Their reception was held at Mount Hope Farm which is one of the most beautiful locations I've worked at.



Lots of great spots for photographs!






Rachel had some great help from her friends designing the decor for this classic New England Barn!






Love the candle lit path!


Many Thanks to Mr. Ed for his amazing Dj skills... he was so great to work with!!

Watch a slideshow of the highlights from this beautiful wedding!
