andrea & jamie || peabody essex museum wedding

October 29, 2010

Yay! My 10-10-10 wedding – a very popular date, as you might imagine! I had been looking forward to this date for awhile – not just because of the numbers aligning, but to see Andrea and Jamie again – I knew it would be a good time after their awesome engagement session in the North End, and also my first chance to shoot at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem. It was a bit crazy, being Salem in October, and as you can see in one photo, we ran across the zombie parade on Salem Common.

Otherwise, I went a little crazy shooting in the musuem – all the different architecture, lighting and of course amazing art everywhere you turn. I would’ve spent a lot more time dragging Andrea and Jamie around the museum, but I know they wanted to get to their guests and have a good time! And a good time was certainly had by all – as I hope you can see in the photos. The last montage is the girls vs. guys that the DJ set up – very fun! I can’t believe how many people he got on the dance floor screaming and singing.

therese & bruce || southern massachusetts wedding

October 27, 2010

Therese and Bruce – and their family and friends – were so much fun! I love how they laughed half the time through the formal photos… I loved the guys and their sunglasses, not to mention Bruce’s too-cute niece! And Therese’s uncle performed the ceremony, which made it that much more personal and touching.

susan & nate || massachusetts farm wedding

October 6, 2010

What a perfect day for an outdoor farm wedding! It was so much fun to see all the details Susan and Nate put into their wedding… They wrote their own vows, with a friend acting as officiant, Susan screenprinted the musical instruments onto the guys’ ties, another friend helped with the flowers (beautiful! and my favorite, sunflowers), and Susan wore her grandmother’s dress. Since the tablecloths were actually paper, each guest’s name was written at the appropriate seat, and there were crayons for everyone to decorate their own place setting. Neat!

Ceremony & Reception: Verrill Farm, Concord, Massachusetts

makenzie and jay’s wedding || hawthorne hotel salem massachusetts

September 27, 2010

Makenzie and Jay had a very memorable wedding! Not only did their wedding day fall on the day that the remnants of Hurricane Earl blew through town, but they had so many great moments throughout… The rides to and from the Hawthorne Hotel on the Salem Trolley, a surprise visit from the couple’s cute doggie after the ceremony, taking photos in the rain at the location of their first date – Bella Verona restaurant in Salem, Jay’s brother performing for everyone, and last but not least (and a surprise to all their guests) – the Bruins’ regular national anthem singer, Rene Rancourt showed up to sing! He did both the US and Canadian national anthems, and then some classic standard songs as well.

Although we were all nervous about the rain, thankfully it held off mostly – enough for some photos on Salem Common, in and around the gazebo.

Ceremony: St. John the Evangelist Church, Swampscott, MA

sarah & mike’s southern new hampshire wedding

September 16, 2010

Ack! I’ve been neglecting the blog lately… But I have lots to blog, I’m just so busy editing! Lots more will be up in the next few weeks.

To get back to Sarah and Mike… I was looking forward to seeing all the familiar faces again, because I photographed Sarah’s sister, Jessica’s wedding, a couple of years ago. Once again their family welcomed me to document such an important occasion, and I am so grateful! Another beautiful daughter, and another great wedding. Of course Mike’s family and friends brought the fun, too… One of my favorite moments – the DJ played “We Are the World” (which was it – Sarah or Mike’s favorite song as a kid? I forget, but it was one of mine :)), and everybody got in a circle to sing it – that’s the panoramic/cobbled together image down below.

Reception: Radisson Hotel, Nashua, NH

meghan & dennis – married! cape cod wedding photographer

August 16, 2010

I’ve been so lucky to have so many fun, easy-going couples as clients, and Meghan and Dennis are certainly no exception! We were lucky with the rain that day – we almost decided not to go out to the beach for photos, but finally decided to risk it for a few minutes… I’m glad we did – I know Meghan really wanted beach shots, and I love the way they came out! I also got to drive a golf cart, which is always fun. Once we got back the party started, and I think Meghan was on the dance floor the entire night!

A personal highlight – it was Meghan’s parents’ anniversary that night – I think 35th? And the DJ played a special song to commemorate it for them – Meghan and Dennis joined them on the dance floor along with Meghan’s sisters and their husbands (photos of it are below)…

Ceremony & Reception: Country Club at New Seabury, Mashpee, MA
