And now back to our regularly scheduled blogging… Catching up on last summer’s weddings… Stephanie and David had their reception at one of my favorite places – the Smith Barn at Brooksby Farms in Peabody, Massachusetts. It’s tucked away in a most unlikely of spots – right next to the Northshore Mall! But you’d never guess it while you’re out there. It’s such an idyllic, country spot, with the big red barn and loads of rustic charm. And Stephanie and David were certainly naturals in front of the camera, with a sense of happy contentment throughout the day.

Well, these are two of my favorite people! When I was visiting my good friend Heidi earlier this month I was able to talk her into getting her engagement photos done. They were a little hesitant at first – neither is very comfortable in front of the camera… But they smile and laugh so easily around each other, I think they are absolutely adorable! And glad I was there during the height of the cherry blossom season… Tom and I are so looking forward to the wedding in Savannah later this year. Can’t wait!

Ceremony: Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Boston, MA
Reception: Lake Pearl Luciano’s, Wrentham, MA

As you might notice from the photos, I was smitten with the kids at the wedding – especially Jennifer and Raul’s beautiful daughter… It helped that she definitely was not shy in front of the camera! It was wonderful to see the family come together to light the unity candle during the ceremony, and see all three of them so happy throughout the day.

April 14, 2010

Sorry I’ve been a little light on the blogging lately… Part of that has to do with the beautiful sunny weather we’ve had in the past couple of weeks, and partly because I was down in Macon, Georgia visiting my good friend Heidi at the beginning of April (actually right around the time those flood waters started coming). She’s getting married in December (engagement photos to follow shortly) at the amazing Marshall House in Savannah, and we took a day trip there from Macon to see it and walk around and be all touristy. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend going – I am looking forward to being a tourist again in December with Tom!

So, now that I’ve caught up a bit, I’d like to share some of the photos I took there… To begin with, my lovely and sometimes silly traveling companions…

Well, Andrea and Jamie were the lucky winners of the facebook contest I had at Valentine’s day. We had to re-schedule to this past weekend, since the original weekend we planned for was so rainy and cold… Little did we know that we would choose the most beautiful day of the spring so far! And all of the tourists and everyone else in Boston agreed, because they were ALL there, I swear. Andrea and Jamie made great models (can’t believe you think you’re not photogenic – seriously!), and were thankfully fine with smooching in public :) and also were entertained (at least slightly?) by Tom’s (my husband) silliness. Some of these photos are his, too.

Looking forward to the wedding this fall!
