Hello all! I’m adding a fun new product for 2010 weddings – a specially designed proof box filled with 4×6 printed proofs!

This is a sample from Dianna and Ryan’s wedding, which incorporates their colors and three photos from their big day.


Look at all these beautiful prints! I think there are over 800 in there!

If you’re a 2010 bride and would like to add this to your package, drop me a line and we’ll discuss!!

I got to photograph the Nobles Theatre Collective’s production of Three Farces and a Funeral at Noble and Greenough last night. As usual I was very impressed and very entertained! Here are a few of my favorite moments from last night’s performance!

Christen and Tuck got married on Halloween at the Chatham Bars Inn on the Cape. The sun was out, the sky was blue, the temperatures were record high – it was the perfect day.

We started our portraits off at the beach….

… and then made our way towards the ceremony by way of many lovely white fences!


The Chatham Bars Inn is a photographer’s dream! So many places to shoot – the beach, little roads, fences, fields, and horseshoes!!! I could have taken Christen and Tuck’s portraits for ten hours straight.



The ceremony was indoors (who would have predicted that it would have been nearly 70 degrees on Halloween?) and overlooked the beach.



Then it was time for the reception!



Dancing!



Here’s a photo of Christen dancing with her twin sister!


No Halloween wedding is complete without a little “Thriller” dancing!

Thanks Christen and Tuck for choosing me to photograph your beautiful wedding day!

Allow me to introduce you to Jen and Matt:

Jen and Matt got married this past weekend, and because it was a weekend in 2009, it rained! Luckily The Highfields Country Club, where the reception was to be held and where we met up before the ceremony, had a lovely bridal room for us to take photos in.



Their ceremony was held at Our Lady of the Angels in Worcester and it was absolutely beautiful.








After the ceremony, we headed back to The Highfields Country Club for the reception.

The best man’s toast involved a roll of toilet paper!
















Thanks Jen and Matt! Your wedding was SO much fun! Hope you enjoy your photos!!!

Christen and Tuck are getting married this year on Halloween! They decided that they wanted to incorporate both Halloween and silliness into their engagement session, and this is what we came up with!

This is Christen and Tuck dressed up as people who are going to the prom.



I love the big glasses!

Dianna and Ryan got married this past weekend at the Mountain Meadows Lodge in Killington, VT. The foliage up in VT was absolutely stunning, as was the wedding day.
I have resisted doing an entire blog post of Dianna getting ready. I had more time than I usually do to take getting ready photos, and with Dianna being such a beautiful bride, it has been nearly impossible for me to pick a few to show you.




I think these next two are my favorites, but I can’t really decide.


Here are two of my favorites of Dianna with her wedding party.


There were animals roaming about the grounds, and this horse almost ate my flash (unfortunately I don’t have a photo of it because I was too busy taking photos while my extra flash was on the grass waiting to be eaten by a horse). It was awesome!


SO ROMANTIC!




How cute are they!?!?

Dianna and Ryan win the award for most hard-core bride and groom of all time. It was so so SO cold and SO windy on their wedding day and yet they remained dedicated to making portraits! To get down to the dock in the following photo, Dianna wore a blanket (that she removed for the photo even though it was probably like 40 degrees) and Ryan carried her over the swampy terrain to get to the dock.

After we finished outside in the freezing cold, we went back into the lodge to warm up and take some fun photos in the game room!



Here are a few of my favorites from the reception.




Dianna and Ryan – thank you so much for having me at your wedding! It was great fun, and I hope you love your photos!

Breighton and Justin got married this past weekend at the Hardwick Winery in Ware, MA. As usual with my weddings, there was a threat of rain – but it did not rain! At all! It ended up being a perfect day, and one of the most fun weddings I’ve ever photographed. In fact, it was probably one of the most fun weddings I’ve ever attended!
Breighton looked gorgeous, so here are two photos of her.


Breighton’s sister (and maid of honor) sang during the ceremony.

Her voice was absolutely beautiful and had everyone in tears (including me).

Yay! Married!

The wedding party!





Now on to the reception!


Cupcakes!!!


I got cupcake all over my shoes after this:


And now the dancing!











After having karaoke at my own wedding, I now believe that every bride and groom should have the opportunity to sing at their wedding!






Thanks Breighton and Justin – I had an awesome time photographing your wedding! I hope you’re having a great honeymoon, and I hope you enjoy the photos!

Nell and Chidozie got married last weekend on what was probably the most beautiful Sunday we’ve had all year! They started off in Mepal Manor in New Marlborough, MA. Nell got ready at the spa while Chidozie got ready in the manor. I love the color in the next shot.

Here are two shots of Nell helping Chidozie with his boutonniere.


We took all of the photos at Mepal Manor before the wedding.


Nell was so happy all day.



PARASOLS!!! In orange and pink, which are my two favorite colors!

Chidozie had some fun ideas for photos!


The entire wedding party!

Here’s Nell and her wedding party heading up to the wedding knoll for the ceremony. I love the lens flare!




Here are a few of my favorites from the cocktail hour.







Some of my favorites from the reception.


There was a ton of dancing at this wedding.





I don’t know where parties or karaoke would be without Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’, as evidenced below.



Thanks Nell and Chidozie! Your wedding was great fun and absolutely beautiful. Congratulations, and I hope you both enjoy the photos!

Nell and Chidozie’s rehearsal dinner was held at Mepal Manor last weekend, and it was beautiful. The sun was setting, the light was golden, and all of the guests were in great spirits!


I don’t know what these drinks were, but they looked delicious. I have decided that they were cucumber-based, because how wonderful would that be on a beautiful Saturday night in September?












After dinner there were lots of speeches!


It was actually hard to take photos at times because the speeches were so funny.




Stay tuned for photos from the wedding!
