Amy & Lawrence’s Orthodox Wedding – Boston

Just a few short days after their engagement session, I met Amy & Lawrence down at the Hilton Boston Logan for their wedding!

We started with Amy while she was getting ready

Lawrence’s reaction was priceless!

During important moments, I often keep shooting, even while I’m still focusing.  Sometimes this leads to happy little mistakes :)  I love this shot of Lawrence lowering her veil!

After they had a private First Look, it was time for some group portraits, and the Tisch and Bedekken.  The Bedekken is definitely my favorite part of the Orthodox Jewish wedding ceremony!  Its just beautiful!

Amy really wanted some photos outside, and though it wasn’t nearly as warm as it had been for the engagement session, and it was incredibly windy, it was definitely worth the effort!  I love this shot CoCo got of them walking down the path!

I was shooting directly into the sun and my focusing went nuts!  Another happy “mistake” –  I love the focus on the sun flare!

Sometimes, I think it’s fun to share my favorite images with the brides right away, so they can see why I’m so excited :)

After the portraits, we went back in so the real party could start!  Orthodox Jewish weddings have the most high-energy receptions!  They may be my favorites…

Amy & Lawrence – thank you again for trusting us with your wedding day!  It was such a fun day!  I can’t wait to sit down with you when you’re back in town and start planning your album!  :)

Gabriella’s Bat Mitzvah

I shot Gabriella’s Bat-Mitzvah a few weeks ago at the Hilton Logan in Boston.
It was such a great time! Check it out…
Gabriella with her parents and brothers


The crowd was totally excited and danced the whole afternoon. It was high-energy and lots of fun!




I think some of the adults may have even been having more fun than the kids!



All in all, it was a great day. Congratulations Gabriella!!

Your slideshow and the rest of the pictures will be up online by the end of the week!
