Chelsea and Morgan

Chelsea and Morgan came all the way from England to get married at The Chanler in Newport. I loved the heightened sense of pageantry provided by the women’s hats and the men’s long coats (photographers love hats). The toasts at the reception where all touching and funny. And Chelsea and Morgan were extremely sweet and such a pleasure […]

Zainub and Justin

Zainub and Justin were married at the Wianno Club in Osterville. The setting was beautiful and the people that surrounded Zainub and Justin were warm and funny. One of my favorite moments was when Justin’s brother challenged him to a quick round of ping pong at the conclusion of his best man speech. I’m so happy […]

Siting and Allen

Siting and Allen were so wonderful to work with. I loved how they got ready together before heading to the Swedenborg Chapel for final touches. People travelled from all over the world to come celebrate with them. Their family and friends helped out with decorations and made sure everything moved along smoothly. Such a beautiful day all […]

Annah and Neil

Neil and I are cut from the same cloth. We both got our start at the Midland Daily News in Michigan, even if several years apart. Admiring each others work from afar, we never had the opportunity to meet in person until Annah and Neil’s wedding weekend. We had too much in common (including dear […]

Clare and Nako

Clare and Nako got married on top of a Volcano. On an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I know, right? They travelled to Hawaii’s big island from Chicago and shared their beautiful vows only with each other, if you don’t count me and Cheryl. The officiant. After their first dance at the Volcano House bar […]

Best of 2015

I always love going back through a year’s worth of weddings. When the days are cold and short, looking through happy pictures taken in warm weather brightens your day like nothing else. Positive memories are attached to each of these photos. As one calendar fades into the next I benefit from sitting and reflecting on a year full of blessings. Revisiting joyful days […]

Anu and Roopak

Anu and Roopak’s wedding was a fabulous way to close out the year. So much color and pageantry were on display. I’m guessing the Westin Waltham said no to a horse in the lobby so Roopak processed on a hover board during the baraat. Anu and Roopak were also two of the kindest people I’ve had the […]

Two

When you decide to have a baby you’re committing yourself to a concept. Even when the baby arrives your notion of the new family member is at best abstract, and that’s in the event you even have the mental space to think about it in those early months. Recently, I realized the concept I had more than two […]

Celia and Chris

Chris worked hard to gain access to Celia’s house so he could marry her. The bridesmaids had a series of obstacles that challenged the groomsmen but ultimately could not stop true love. Some of the tasks were so ridiculous that I am refraining from posting on the blog because I like Chris and because the internet […]

The Cabin

I’ve been taking personal pictures, but I haven’t made time to go through them. So, let’s reminisce about that warm weather trip we made to Connie and Ben’s tiny house in the mountains. There aren’t any bedrooms to speak of so we were all glad to see Ellis sleep through the night even within a slumber […]
