Vanessa & Ryan's beautiful Greek wedding took place in the middle of a good old New England Nor'Easter! But no torrential downpour or hurricane strength gusts could take away from the love they shared with their family, friends, & each other on this incredible day!

The ceremony was held in the gorgeous St. Vasilios Greek Orthodox Chrurch in Peabody, MA and the reception at the Corinithian Yacht Club in Marblehead.

Jessica & Conor: Wedding

2009-09-09T23:53:00.033-04:00

Jessica & Conor had a beautiful day for their downtown Boston wedding! It started at the historic Marriot Hotel in the Theater District, where both the ceremony & the reception would take place. Jessica got ready in her suite and we arranged a "1st look" for Conor to see her in her dress for the first time. We then walked over to the Public Garden with the bridal party for some pre-ceremony formals.

I captured some beautiful images on the walk over and the puffy clouds made for an amazing backdrop for the shots on the Swan Pond bridge. Jess & Conor were even able to practice their first dance in front of a 3-piece street-band that played a song just for them. How sweet is that?

After exploring the entire park, we walked back to hotel and transitioned right into Jess & Conor's intimate wedding ceremony. Then came some shots in the hotel's vintage telephone booths and in the beautiful arched hallways. And towards the end of the night we were able to sneak into the Roxy's neon lit stairwell for some moody and romantic shots.

It was a beautiful day with a beautiful couple!

Sophie & Andre: Wedding

2009-08-11T00:05:00.053-04:00

Sophie & Andre's amazing wedding day was spent on the beautiful grounds of the Middlesex School in Concord.....a place that has meant so much to Sophie and her family over the years. She and her two sisters attended the school and her mother and father are valued members of the faculty.

Sophie prepared for the big day at her parent's on-campus home and traveled the short distance to historic Memorial Chapel, on a golf cart driven by her father...and beautifully decorated by her sisters. :) After the perfect ceremony, the cocktail hour was held outdoors on the impeccably manicured lawn of "The Circle" and the reception was inside the impressively wood-beamed Ware Hall.

As you can see, it was the perfect day for Sophie & Andre....and it was made even more perfect by the fact that so many family and friends were able to share it with them.

Photographer's Note: A special thanks to my friend and amazing photographer Tony Yu for second-shooting and for getting some incredible shots. I love his in-camera cropping on the B&W ceremony shot of Andre & Sophie from above. Thanks so much Tony!

Courtney & Mike: Wedding

2009-07-13T21:17:00.024-04:00

Courtney and Mike's wedding ceremony took place in the tiny St. Thomas chapel on Cape Cod. Afterward I was able to capture some intimate moments against the Chapel's beautiful weathered cedar shingles.

We then set out for the reception at the Popponesset Inn....stopping along the way at some classic Cape settings. The limo driver knew of this inlet with a perfect little foot bridge...then once on the grounds of the New Seabury Country Club we pulled over when we spotted a little dock jutting into a still-as-can-be pond...and we finished on the beach just outside the Inn. Mike & Courtney were every photographer's dream couple...happily agreeing to climb up into the lifeguard chair for some amazing shots!

Stacie & Gene: Wedding

2009-06-14T22:20:00.021-04:00

Stacie & Gene's beautiful wedding day started at the Fairmont Copley hotel in Boston. I had my great friend, and amazing photographer Liz Wertz with me as my 2nd shooter. We began at Stacie and her bridesmaid's suite to shoot them while they were getting ready. I then headed over to the Groomsmen's suite and traveled with them on the trolley to St. Ignatius Church at Boston College. Liz stayed behind and got some amazing shots of the flower girls, Stacie getting into her dress, and some gorgeous bridal formals. P.S. I'm in love with her shoe shot....

Gene attended Holy Cross and Stacie Boston College. Gene is now in his second year at the Carroll School of Management getting his MBA. Together they are huge Eagle football fans! So after the beautiful ceremony we headed over to Alumni Stadium for some fun formals on the football field! I brought a football along and as you can see, it was great way for Gene to show off his new wedding
ring. :)

The reception was held at the oldest countrty club in the United States, The Country Club in Brookline. And in my opinion one of the most beautiful too. Gene and Stacie danced the night away surrounded by family & friends.....and reveled in their first night as husband and wife.

Melissa & Iver: Wedding

2009-05-21T01:08:00.034-04:00

When Melissa arrived at the ceremony in her gorgeous Rolls Royce, I could feel the excitement and anticipation of the day reaching it's crescendo. She gracefully emerged and walked the long aisle of the Living Hope church...into the arms of her soon to be husband Iver.

Following the ceremony we rode the short distance to beautiful Smith Barn in Peabody. We took some amazing relaxed portraits and romantic candids on the lush grounds and then joined the rest of the guests in the idyllic 1903 barn built to store apples from the surrounding orchards. It was such a beautiful wedding and Melissa and Iver are two of the sweetest people ever! I wish them all the best...always and forever.

P.S. I think my favorite shot of the day is the one I captured just before Melissa & Iver were announced into the barn. It had started sprinkling, Iver was chivalrously holding the umbrella, and Melissa just happened to glance my way with a look that only a bride on her wedding day could have. :) It was really the perfect moment a photographer hopes for....just classic.

Sophia & David: Wedding

2009-05-15T21:43:00.025-04:00

Sophia & David's wedding day was on a beautiful warm Saturday in April. And I was lucky enough to work beside my amazing wife Linnea, of Tangorra Wedding Planning.

The ceremony took place at the historic Park Street Church in the heart of Boston. And David and his groomsmen walked to the ceremony from the couple's Beacon Hill brownstone, following the Freedom Trail. Following the ceremony, we walked across the Boston Common to the Boston Public Garden for some beautiful relaxed formals. We made use of all it's nooks and crannies, including some quiet moments under the famous foot bridge.

We then walked back through Beacon Hill to their brownstone for the beautiful reception....stopping along the way on historic, cobblestoned Acorn Street for some classic Boston images! Congratulations Sophia & David and thanks for letting me part of your amazing day!

Jessica & Conor: Engagement

2009-04-30T21:00:00.011-04:00

Jessica & Conor came up to Newburyport two weekends ago for their fantastic engagement session. They're the cutest couple and were quickly comfortable in front of the camera....as you'll see from the stunning shots below. All the little nooks and crannies of Newburyport really helped set the scene for a great day. :) I can't wait for their downtown Boston wedding on June 20th!

Lauren & Mike: Engagement

2009-03-31T23:48:00.018-04:00

Last weekend I met up with Lauren & Mike at Castle Island in South Boston for their Engagement Session! It was a beautiful, yet blustery day on Boston Harbor and we captured some amazing shots using the dramatic, granite-walled Fort Independence as our backdrop.

Lauren & Mike will be walking down the aisle on July 11th of this year and I'm so excited to be shooting their wedding!

Megan & Paul: Wedding

2009-01-25T19:27:00.024-05:00

My friend and awesome photographer, Liz Wertz invited me to be the second photog for Megan & Paul's beautiful wedding down on Cape Cod in November. Liz was 9 months pregnant but did an amazing job...not missing a beat all day and getting some amazing photos.

It was a sunny, late fall day and I captured Paul and his 12 groomsman at the small seaside chapel, while Liz was shooting Megan and her bridesmaids getting ready. After the beautiful ceremony we drove to the New Seabury Country Club for formals on the beach and then the reception.

Megan and Paul were the sweetest couple and also one of the most photogenic ever! :) It was an amazing wedding and my images below only capture a small portion of the wonderful moments and emotions of the day.

Amanda & Marty: Wedding

2008-12-29T22:43:00.024-05:00

Amanda and Marty's wedding was one of my last of 2008! It was held at the beautiful Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA. The old stone mansion was the perfect backdrop to an evening of family, friends, love, and fun.

Amanda and Marty decided to shoot many of their photographs before the ceremony, which is becoming a very popular trend with couples. It alllows for a more relaxed session and I love capturing the moment the groom first see's the bride appear in her dress. You can see the amazing look on Marty's face as Amanda walked out onto the veranada at sunset. These two are truly in love and as you can see, they know how to express it!

Melissa & Iver: Engagement

2008-12-10T23:45:00.018-05:00

We shot Melissa & Iver's engagement session in early November at the future site of their wedding, The Smith Barn @ Brooksby Farm. It was a beautiful late fall day and they brought their adorable dog, Pumpkin along! They are the sweetest couple and I can't wait to shoot their wedding next May! BTW: The shot of them kissing under the trellis, is the exact spot where they'll say their vows and become husband and wife! :)

Lisa & Jeff: Wedding

2008-12-01T23:50:00.022-05:00

Lisa & Jeff's wedding was an all-day event! It started at 9:30am at Lisa's parent's house for the first of two traditional Chinese Tea Ceremonies. Lisa gave thanks to her parents and in return received oodles of gold jewelry and whimsical Chinese wedding envelopes filled with gifts of the paper variety. We then headed to Jeff's parent's home for the second Tea Ceremony. Both Lisa and Jeff gave thanks to his parent's and honored those family members who have past.

Regis College was the next venue, where Lisa & Jeff said their vows at their western-style ceremony. Lisa changed into her perfect white wedding gown and walked down the aisle as sun streamed into the beautiful room. After the ceremony we took photos on the grounds and at Norman Tower...which offered a dramatic back-drop. The reception was held at the China Pearl Restaurant in Quincy and featured a 10-course Chinese meal. The festivities ended at 11:00 and Lisa and Jeff were so happy that they were able to share every step of their day with their closest friends and family.

Jennifer & Jack: Wedding

2008-11-19T23:31:00.009-05:00

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of second shooting with a my photog friend Chris Dumas. Jennifer and Jack's hilltop wedding ceremony took place on a crisp afternoon at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline. And the reception was at the Greek Center just across the street. Here's a few of my favorites from the day...

Stacie & Gene: Engagement

2008-11-11T23:10:00.020-05:00

Stacie and Gene will be married next Spring and wanted to shoot their engagement session on the Annisquam beaches where Gene spent much of his childhood. We had a great time scaling the lighthouse rocks, looking into tidal pools, and soaking in the amazing views. Thanks for such a great afternoon guys and I can't wait for your wedding in May!

Amanda & Tyler: Wedding

2008-11-04T23:49:00.010-05:00

They may just be the cutest couple ever. Amanda & Tyler have this relaxed, glowing love for each other that just makes you smile. Their beautiful wedding took place at the Shattuck Golf Club up in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. With Mt. Monadnock in the distance and family and friends looking on, Amanda & Tyler said their vows and pledged their undying love....

Jodi & Steve: Wedding

2008-10-28T23:38:00.018-04:00

Jodi and Steve were married at the Groveland Fairways under a unique star-studded tent. It created an atmosphere that was worthy of their vows and love for each other. Jodi's daughter served as a bridesmaid and all day you could see little examples of the bond that only a mother and daughter could share. It was such a happy and cheerful day and everyone felt honored to take part in such a perfect wedding!

Lisa & Jeff: Engagement

2008-10-20T22:23:00.014-04:00

I met up with Lisa & Jeff at Larz Anderson Park to shoot their engagement session! This park has all the elements for a fantastic day... a beautiful pond, quaint bridges, hilltop fields with views of Boston, and a gazebo called "The Temple of Love". Perfect for an e-session huh? :)

They're the cutest couple and I actually shot their wedding a couple days ago! It was an all-day affair that included 2 tea ceremonies, a traditional western ceremony, and a 10-course Chinese feast reception. Can't wait to show you some images soon!

The Segans: Family Session

2008-10-13T19:59:00.010-04:00

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting one of my favorite families and our great friends, the Segans. Linnea & Kristen have been friends for a long time and we've been able to see their family grow over the last few years. Marc & Kristen now have two adorable boys, Michael and Adam.

The family photo session took place at their house on a beautiful September day. We couldn't help but have a great time as we shot some formals in the yard and a few more casual shots inside. Aren't they just the cutest family?!!

Gabrielle & Mark: Wedding

2008-10-02T22:59:00.030-04:00

A couple of weeks ago, the amazing wedding photojournalist and destination photographer Tommy Colbert, invited me to shoot a wedding with him in Boston. I was really excited to work with someone I had admired for quite some time.

Gabrielle and Mark's day began at the Langham Hotel where the bridal party was getting ready. We got some great candid images and Tommy set up an amazing shot with Gabrielle standing in the window. As I shot from the street below, Tommy captured one of the most beautiful bridal images I've ever seen (take a look at his camera's lcd screen in the shot below).

We then headed over to the North End for the ceremony in St. Leonard's on Hanover Street. The reception was held at the State Room...high above Quicny Market and Fanueil Hall. A venue that's known for it's amazing natural light and a view of the city that can't be beat.

Thanks Tommy for inviting me to shoot with you...and for a sharing some tips & tricks along the way!

Lynn & Ike: Wedding

2008-09-23T23:46:00.021-04:00

We came together by chance. It was a Saturday in July and Lynn & Ike were taking a tour of the Stonehedge Inn and deciding if that was where they wanted to hold their wedding ceremony and reception. I was getting ready to shoot a different wedding and we started talking. That talk lead to an email, which lead to a phone call, which lead us all back to the Stonehedge Inn for their wedding day!

Lynn and Ike each have a son and now the boys will have a brother to grow up with. Growing up with brothers myself, I know how important that can be! It was a touching day that had everyone shedding tears of joy and toasting the wonderful bond between two sweet people.

Good mid-week diversion!

2008-09-16T22:04:00.009-04:00

Sometimes you just need a good little time waster! This was originally made as a viral marketing campaign for Monoface, but it's difficult to pass up the chance to play virtual Mr. Potato Head with all their employees! You can change the eyes, hair, nose and mouth...and you can click all day because there are 759,375 possible faces. And it's also fun to find all the pieces to the same person to reveal their true identity!

Plus as a photographer and graphic designer, I can truly appreciate the simplicity and crispness of the final product!

Stephanie & Daniel: Wedding

2008-09-08T23:47:00.034-04:00

You'll remember Stephanie and Dan from that great engagement session we did up in Portsmouth back in June. They have such a great energy that seems to rub off on everyone around them.

Their wedding ceremony took place inside the Merrimack College Chapel, while the skies outside opened-up and the priest declared the thunder was God's applause for their union. The ceremony ended and right on cue the skies began to clear. So we headed over to the historic iron bridge that spans the pond in the middle of campus and captured some wonderful shots.

The reception was held at the beautiful Zorvino Vineyard in Sandown, NH. As you can see, we had a great time playing between the rows & rows of the green vines and purple grapes. We all then headed up to the rustic post & beam manor house for dinner and dancing that lasted late into the night.

Free to Succeed Tour: Boston

2008-09-01T22:29:00.011-04:00

This past Tuesday night I was lucky enough to join many of my photographer friends for the Free To Succeed Tour in downtown Boston. The three headliners on the tour just happened to be the three photographers that I admire most in the wedding industry...David Jay, Jasmine Star, and Becker. And I felt blessed to meet them all on the same night!

David Jay gave us insight as to how an efficient workflow can can help "free" up your life. Jasmine spoke about how determination and properly branding your business can lead to much success. And Becker gave us all a sneak preview of the [b]school...which will be a social and profesional networking website for photographers.

Skip's: an American classic

2008-08-25T22:39:00.014-04:00

Summer in New England would not be complete without at least one trip to Skip's Snack Bar in Merrimac, MA. We're lucky enough to live just ten minutes away from this American institution that plays host to "cruise nights" every other Saturday from June through September.

Skip's is an old-fashioned burger joint that transports you back in time. The bacon double-cheeseburger is a neat little bundle tucked into a folded paper napkin... the crispy curly fries, which they're famous for, are overflowing the cardboard basket... and the grilled hot dog is topped with a perfect zig-zag of bright yellow mustard. And everything tastes as good as it looks.

Of course, the other fun part of a Skip's visit are the classic cars. On "cruise nights" people come from far and wide to show-off what a winter of tinkering in the garage has produced. The big grass field behind the restaurant plays host to hundreds of cars...who's owners sit in lawn chairs chatting about the weather and their new vinyl upholstery.

There really is nothing like it on a warm summer night in New England (except for a wedding of course)! ;)

Jen & Dan: Wedding

2008-08-18T23:48:00.021-04:00

Jen and Dan were surrounded by their loving families and joyous friends as they said their vows in beautiful St. Michael's Church in Andover. The reception was held at the Stonehedge Inn in Tyngsboro and the grounds lent the perfect backdrop to many of our portraits...both formal and relaxed. Everyone danced the night away as Jen and Dave soaked up every minute of a day they'll never forget.

P.S. I was loving the black & whites this week...so enjoy the abundance of contrast and richness!

Visit to the Chatham Bars Inn

2008-08-11T20:31:00.010-04:00

Linnea is planning a September wedding that will be held at the Chatham Bars Inn. So we took the drive down to the Cape for a meeting with Leslie, the bride, and the Chatham Bar's staff. What a beautiful resort! The weather was perfect and the setting really makes you dream of spending a week there. The highlight of the day was the seals at the fishing pier, near the end of the beach. When the boats come in with their catch of the day, the seals beg for food and are literally feet away from you. Sure beats the aquarium! :)

Song of the summer

2008-08-03T22:23:00.028-04:00

I just can't stop listening to this song...it's so addictive. Adele is a 19 year old Brit who's distictive, soulful voice surpasses many singers ten years her senior. "Chasing Pavements" is a wonderfully emotional piece of old-school soul that'll have you singing along after just one listen. Plus they rarely make videos like this anymore...the "choreography" is just beautiful. Go ahead, click the link below.

Meghan & Jay: Wedding

2008-07-28T23:29:00.025-04:00

You'll recognize Meghan and Jay from their engagement session that we shot in Newburyport a few weeks ago...just before their wedding. The ceremony took place on the Newburyport waterfront and the reception was held at the stately Phoenix Room, just a few stories above Newburyport's historic streets. We also made a quick run out to Plum Island for some serene beach shots. Plus, I had the pleasure of working with my amazing wife Linnea, who once again did an unbelievable job planning the entire day!

Meghan and Jay are such a fun couple and you can see the love and excitement that they share in every image! We even duplicated the shot of them kissing under the "Fowles" sign that we also did for their engagement session. Fun!

My new Canon 5D!

2008-07-21T21:34:00.013-04:00

My camera bag now includes one of the best cameras a wedding photographer could wish for....the Canon 5D. My goal this year was to work hard enough to purchase this beauty by mid-summer and I'm so proud to have accomplished that goal. What's my next goal you ask? ...to buy a second 5D by the end of September. :)

As you can see from this photo I snapped tonight, cameras have come a long way in the last 40 years. That's one of the Kodaks from my collection of classic cameras. Maybe one day I'll blog about them all.

Meghan & Jay: Engagement

2008-07-14T23:55:00.012-04:00

I had such a great time shooting Meghan and Jay's engagement session...just one week before their wedding! They wanted an image to use for their signature board at the reception.

The photo they ultimately chose was the one of them sitting and kissing with the dogs in the foreground. Ironically, that same exact spot is where they stood one week later and said their vows! I just shot their wedding and will be posting photos soon! Stay tuned....

Fishing Trip 2008

2008-07-07T19:25:00.020-04:00

It's become a tradition for the 4 of us. Every summer for the last 15 years we get together for a fishing trip up at Mountaineer Lake in the Catskill Mountains of New York. There's me, my two best friends, Russ & Todd, and Todd's father Glenn.

Mohawk Lake is privately owned by the Mountaineer Club, of which Todd, Russ, & Glenn are members. Which means we have the WHOLE lake to ourselves. It's an amazing feeling to be so close to nature...bald eagles soaring overhead, giant snapping turtles swimming under your boat, dragon flies landing on your line, and deer drinking at the shoreline. There's a peacefulness that I don't experience anywhere else in the world. At night you can see more stars then you could ever imagine and there's a quiet that is just deafening. I never sleep as well as I do when I'm up at "camp".

I only had my point & shoot, but I think that you'll enjoy these.

P.S. The plate of food you see two photos above is our homemade version of a garbage plate. We all went to college at RIT in Rochester and spent many weekend nights at Nick Tahou's!

Abbie & Allen: Wedding

2008-06-29T10:07:00.017-04:00

I had such an amazing time shooting the wedding of Abbie and Allen at the Hellenic Center in Ipswich... which was planned by Linnea and her senior associate Megan!

Abbie and Allen are the most adorable couple and I couldn't help but smile every time they giggled with excitement at the fact that they were now husband and wife. They had an amazingly close-knit circle of friends and family that danced and partied the night away. I wish you both all the best and thank you for letting me be a a part of your big day!

Snowy is home!

2008-06-23T22:24:00.028-04:00

It's a long story...so I'll try to make it short (and sweet).

Snowy was our neighbor's cat, but since she spent most of her day outdoors she would make her daily rounds and visit eveyone in the neighborhood. She was friendly, loved to be pet, and craved attention from all who would give it. She would often spend lazy summer afternoons napping on our shady front porch.

Last September, Snowy's owners decided to move and gave Snowy away to friends in a neighboring town (before Linnea and I could express our desire to adopt her). Sadly, just a week after she moved, we heard that Snowy had ran away from her new home. And unfortunately, her new owners did not care enough to spend time looking for her. So Linnea and I took it upon ourselves to search her new neighborhood and post signs on every telephone pole we could find. We did receive a few phone calls in October, but they all turned out not to be Snowy. The cold and snowy Winter came and we hoped that she had found a warm new home.

Fast forward 8 months....
Last week the phone rang. Someone had been regularly seeing a white cat in the woods behind their house and had been feeding her for a while. So yesterday she showed up again and Linnea and I went down to see if it was her. And it WAS! She had MIRACULOUSLY survived the winter and looked wonderful. Needless to say, we decided to adopt her and brought her home. She took right to her old stomping grounds and our front porch, like she had never left. I think you can see how happy she is from these photos. It's a great feeling to have her home.

P.S. She went to the vet today and passed all her tests with flying colors! :)

P.P.S. Linnea and I are big supporters of the Merrimac Feline Rescue Society. They are always in need of food, blankets, and donations! Here is their donation Wish List.
