I’m a documentary photographer – I like to capture life as it unfolds. From a kiss between a bride & groom on their wedding day, to a mother holding her newborn baby. From baptisms in Boston, to churches in Zimbabwe ministering to AIDS orphans. It’s my passion to capture moments between people, and to document the work of God throughout the world.
Like many of my couples this year, Sara & Steve don’t live in the Boston area. They live out in California, and we weren’t actually able to meet until the night before their wedding. I “require” all of my couples to have an engagement shoot before the wedding so we can spend some time getting to know each other in front of the camera – it just makes it SO much easier to get great portraits on the wedding day. Since we didn’t get a chance to meet earlier, we captured some portraits before their Rehearsal Dinner. I met up with them at their hotel in Portsmouth and we went for a walk…
Steve does NOT like to have his photo taken. He said that he didn’t think I could get a good photo of him – that I couldn’t get a natural smile from him. Haha! Don’t test me, people! ;)
After our portrait session, we drove up to Sara’s parents’ place on Gerrish Island for the Rehearsal Dinner. Driving down their street, I spotted this little guy out my window.
Steve’s Dad was walking along the shore behind the house, looking for rocks. Totally endearing :)
And some of the boys were throwing rocks. I loved how synchronized they were!
Steve & Sara spent the rest of the evening laughing and enjoying a some time with their friends and family. It was a fun and very relaxed party!
Stay tuned for the photos from their gorgeous (and soaking wet) wedding!
