Maureen and Dan’s wedding was at a great location, which I’ve never shot at before – the Red Lion Inn in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Just driving through town up to it, I knew it would be a fun place for a wedding. And I was right! Of course, Maureen and Dan and their wonderful family (loved Maureen’s brothers as the “bridesmen”) and friends brought the warmth and fun to make it a perfect day.
Our friends Jose and Jyll have been planning their wedding for next February at the Spencer Country Inn, which Tom and I will be photographing… They wanted to get some engagement photos done, and check out what the light would be like at around the time of their wedding next year. We all had a very enjoyable lunch there, and then braved the cold for the photos… Thanks Jose and Jyll for a fun afternoon!
Jenn and Rob’s wedding was a blast – I don’t think there’s any other way to describe it… I think their main goal was to have fun, celebrate, and party all night long… They met on vacation in Key West, and wanted to bring back that laid-back vibe to their wedding, so much so that they flew up their favorite band that was playing down in Key West when they met – the Massacoustics – a very fun two-man band that can keep the party going. There were so many little places to take photos around the Inn – my favorite was the tiny little chapel tucked away in the woods… A nice respite from the excitement of the cocktail hour, and some of my favorite shots of Jenn and Rob. And can I say – lobster?! I was a very spoiled photographer that night.
Ceremony and Reception Location – Dexter’s Inn, Sunapee, New Hampshire
Since we’ve moved, Tom and I have been pretty busy (what with our wedding, then the holidays and everything), and we haven’t gotten to go out and explore too much of our new surroundings… I wanted to remedy that a few weeks ago and take a short trek up to Portsmouth for the afternoon to look around, shoot and have lunch. It was cold, so I knew that we wouldn’t be out too long (I’m a wimp in the cold), and we stayed near the downtown/shops area. I’ve only been to Portsmouth a couple of times for weddings, but driving through it, I knew it would be a neat place to spend some time. Luckily there are all sorts of interesting shops around, because I needed a warm-up every few minutes!
Tom took this one... I'm ahead, with the camera dangling from my cold, cold hand
Me, looking for the best angle for the following shots...
Interesting to see how Tom and I take completely different shots of the same scene/area... This is my shot.
And this is Tom's.
