Congratulations to Jessica and Jesse for winning the Best of 2009 contest! I love this moment of Jessica walking down the stairs of her parents’ house. As someone mentioned in the comments, this picture combines the “past and the looming (yet wonderful) future, all in one picture”. I also like the lines of the banister...

Contest: Best of 2009
I worked with so many great couples in 2009, and I wanted to honor them with some of my favorite moments. On this blog I do my best to be a tight editor and scrutinize the work so only the most relevant, story-telling pictures remain. But picking a single picture from each wedding is just...
Jamie and Jeremy
Jamie and Jeremy picked a great winter’s night to warm themselves with the presence of close friends and family. Fresh snow dusted the ground, and everyone gathered to celebrate Jamie and Jeremy’s new commitment to one another and welcome in the new year. The Westin Waltham was the backdrop, and DJ Jerry B set the...
Patty and Anthony
If everyone in Texas is as kind, generous, fun, and thoughtful as Patty and Anthony, Channing Johnson Photography might just have to set up a satellite office in Southern Texas (especially if every Lone Star wedding includes a mariachi band). I’m going to let the pictures do the talking and hope they convey how much...
Lone Star
I just got back from my first trip to Texas. In addition to shooting a fun wedding in San Antonio, I even had time to see the Alamo and visit an old friend in Austin. There was a bit of a weather role reversal as I left a 66-degree Boston for a snow-forecasted Texas. As if...
Matty Aces
I was a guest at Matt and Colleen’s wedding, but I’m glad I also got a chance to hang out with the boys before the ceremony. The talented Connie Miller did the heavy lifting on this one though. You can see the ladies getting ready and the rest of her beautiful record of the day...
Julia and Mike
When I found out Julia and Mike were fellow journalism school graduates I had a good feeling we would be on the same page. But, what I didn’t count on was how funny and charming they, and all their family and friends, would be. It’s easy to forget what articulate means until you spend a...
Sandra and Nick
I was crossing the street downtown with Emily and Matt, when I heard someone shout from a car sitting in traffic, “Are you Channing Johnson?” It was Sandra. We had exchanged a few e-mails and Sandra had a feeling the guy walking backwards looking through a camera was probably me. Maybe it’s because we’re from...
Emily and Ben
Emily and Ben had a beautiful Fall day for their Boston Harbor Hotel wedding. They lived in several different states during their courtship (rarely in the same one) and collected friends along the way that came from all over the country to celebrate with them. Emily’s parents actually live in the Charlotte-area where my parents...
Erin and Philippe
My primary role at Erin and Phlippe’s wedding was guest. Although, I also had the privilege of spending time with them moments before they got married.
