Megan & Mike’s Wedding – Black & White FILM

I was on my way to Megan & Mike‘s wedding when I got a call from Megan asking if I could shoot some film that day as well!  Luckily, my film bag was at home prepped and ready and my assistant was able to run back and pick it up.  And I’m so glad she asked :)  I love shooting film, and now generally include a bit in all my packages.  It just adds such a cool touch to the wedding day, and in this case, it was the perfect classic touch to go with some of the classic details.

A few images of the Ford Model-A that served as the limo for the day.  First on the Holga, then on the Nikon F100, and finally on the Widelux.

Megan & Mike’s Wedding – Concord, MA

I knew just by talking to Megan on the phone that I was going to love her!  She and Mike live out in San Francisco and were planning their wedding here in Concord, where Megan grew up.  I met Megan and her Mom once, but didn’t meet Mike until the Rehearsal Dinner.  They are such a fun and sweet couple, and their family and friends are just wonderful.  I had so much fun spending the day with them, I can’t even tell you!

The day began at Megan’s parents’ house…

Megan & her bridesmaids have been friends since pre-school, and their families are extremely close.  I just fell in love with them and the friendships they’ve formed over the years!  They had a little dance-party in Megan’s room while they got ready :)

Such gorgeous green eyes!

Instead of renting a limo for the day, they hired these antique cars.  It’s a 1928 Ford Model A – so cool!

Think they’re excited?  I love this shot that my second shooter, Rachel Hadiashar, captured.

The reception was held at the Concord Country Club, so we took some portraits out on the golf course.  I love this shot of the bridal party – you can totally see what a fun group of people they are.  And don’t you just love the bridesmaids’ dresses?!

Elena & Dan’s eSession – Walden Pond

I remember reading Walden in high school, and really liking it.  Ever since I moved out to the Boston area, and realized how close I was to Walden Pond, I’ve been dying to go there.  I have this little fantasy that I’ll go one day and walk around the pond and then sit on a blanket and read the book…  but that hasn’t happened yet and probably won’t happen anytime soon.  I did, however, go to Walden recently for Elena & Dan’s engagement session.  I was totally excited to see it finally, and was equally excited to meet Dan and see Elena again!  We met up just before sunset and had a chance to walk around the pond a bit, and spend some time letting them get used to me and my Nikon :)

This one is my FAVORITE!
