filmy weddings

November 17th, 2011

I’ve been shooting a ton of film lately, because it’s awesome. My clients love it, I love it, we’re all happy about it. The wedding I posted recently of Alaina and Tom was one that I shot a ton of film at, and I just got the scans back last night – a lot later than expected! I haven’t even gone through them but I wanted to share a couple.

Alaina & Tom, married at Ragged Mountain

November 10th, 2011

Alaina and Tom…two very good friends of ours. What an honor it is to be chosen by friends to photograph their big day. I met Tom at a party through our friend Jason. We had a mutual love for craft beer and because he went to college in Colorado, we immediately bonded over our love for Dales Pale Ale. When Alaina came into his life, I knew he had met his match. They both love the outdoors, music, and travel adventures. Alaina & Tom moved to DC just before our wedding *sniff* but that’s ok, we’ll see them this winter when I fully expect them to take us on a DC beer tour.

Alaina and Tom’s wedding was held at Ragged Mountain, a ski lodge in New Hampshire. I do love ski lodge weddings (not just because our wedding was at a ski lodge!) with their gigantic mountain-facing windows and beautiful scenery. It was a perfect fall day, the foliage was at peak, the air was crisp, just a teeny bit of rain, and lots and lots of love. I love you guys.

And yes, I promised pretty much everyone at the wedding that I would make at least one animated gif of Alaina doing the shot-ski.

a couple features!

November 10th, 2011

I realized that I had a couple blog features that I didn’t mention this year! The most recent was Christina and Nick’s wedding at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation on Inspired by This. The other one was Caroline and Cornelius’ wedding at a private family estate in Goucester, MA on Snippet & Ink. Having my work featured on some of my favorite wedding blogs is great, but the real congrats goes out to my couples for making their weddings so personal and about them, which wedding blogs *love*. :)

Chrissy & Dave are engaged!

November 3rd, 2011

Chrissy and Dave are getting married next year at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. We met up at their house in southie for their engagement session a couple weeks ago. These two love to entertain guests, so we started out in their kitchen creating spiked apple cider and enjoyed a mug in their back yard (yes they live in Boston and have a back yard, I know, unbelievable!) on a beautiful crisp October afternoon. We headed down to the beach in Southie (I think it’s called Carson Beach) where you can get gorgeous Boston skyline views, and finished up in the Public Garden. These two laugh – a lot. I would like to think that it was because I am hilarious, but I am not sure that is true. :) They are such a wonderful match for each other. Dave was the most at-ease groom I have ever photographed, thank you for making my job easy, you two! I had incredible light, perfect weather, and a snuggly couple, what more can I ask for?
