Fran & James’ Boston Engagement Session

For the next few posts, we’re going to take a look back at one of my favorites weddings from last year! Yep, Fran & James’ wedding was that good, it needs a few posts! Starting with their super fun summer engagement session in Boston…

They had balloons, a ride on a merry-go-round, ice cream at Quincy Market, and even ran into a fountain! It was such a fun evening wandering around downtown – and all the more fun because they were so excited for the shoot and were willing to do just about anything! Gotta love it :)

We handed the balloons to some kids passing by, much to their parents’ dismay, and then went on with the shoot…

*love*

Fran & James – thanks for such a fun evening!! I can’t wait to share the rest of your wedding over the next few posts!!

Benchmark Awards Gala – Boston, MA

Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph the 9th Annual Awards Gala for Benchmark Senior Living. Benchmark is a great company that really puts an emphasis on quality care for their residents, and rewards employees who go above and beyond to make that happen. Each year they hold an Awards Gala to honor those special employees – and it’s quite an event! It was so fun to witness a big company like that making their employees, from management to waitresses, feel appreciated and honored.

This year’s event was held at The State Room, which has one of the best views in Boston!

Some of the residents got to come to the Gala as well. The cute little old men are always my favorite people to photograph :)

Ah! Adorable! Shot on Tri-X 400/35mm with my Nikon F100 and 50mm f/1.4 lens

Sweet toast

I love black & white film!! If you love black & white film too, I offer wedding coverage with me shooting in all film and second shooters shooting digital. Let me know if you’re interested! :)

Lieschen & Stephen’s Winter Wedding – Beacon Hill

I’ve known Lieschen for a few years now. She is both friend and chiropractor – invaluable on so many levels! I was excited for her last year when she met Stephen and fell in love – and was doubly excited when she called recently to ask me to shoot their wedding just a few weeks later!

The day started at the Liberty Hotel down in Boston. This painting made such a cool backdrop for her dress!

Lieschen & her Mom

yeah, she’s pretty gorgeous

Lieschen’s little nieces were there while she was getting ready – total entertainment for everyone!

FAVORITE!

After she was ready, Stephen came to the suite for the First Look

Everyone had a toast to celebrate

the handsome groom

Then it was down to the courtyard for some portraits. We lucked out and had a really lovely day to go outside! Though, snuggling did make it even warmer :)

Lieschen & Stephen

The wedding was shortly after the holidays, and The Liberty Hotel still had Christmas trees hanging from the ceiling. It was the coolest way I’d ever seen a hotel decorate for the holidays!

Then we headed down Charles Street to The Hungry I for their intimate ceremony & reception

Surrounded by their immediate families, the got married in front of the fire place in a candle-lit ceremony

It was perhaps both the darkest and the smallest ceremony I’ve ever photographed! It was lovely though!!

After the ceremony, everyone headed upstairs for a nice dinner, some toasts, and lots of laughter!

One of the nieces was a little bored at that point, and kept wanting me to play with her… so, you know, I HAD to ;)

The other niece seemed to be having a good time ;)

mmmm, meringue cake!

rings in roses

Love this shot of Lieschen & Stephen chatting with his uncle!

And just for fun, I had to get one with the bride!

Lieschen & Stephen – thanks again for allowing me to be part of your wedding! I’m excited for you, and for all the lies ahead! ;)

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

Love this photo my assistant CoCo Boardman captured

Amy looked so beautiful!!

My second shooter, the fabulous Anne Ruthmann, photographed Lawrence getting ready

and waiting patiently to see his lovely bride

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!

Anne’s take on the same moment

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!

The Wedding Ceremony

Father of the Bride

Anne captured this great shot of Lawrence fiddling with his ring after the ceremony!

A sweet moment as we drive over to the Harbor for some portraits

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!

SO Happy!

*LOVE*

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…

I LOVE this shot that CoCo captured of Lawrence while some of they guys were dancing for him!

And every once in a while, I want to be in a photo too! ;)

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! :)

Amy & Lawrence Boston Engagement Session

With Amy in Boston, and Lawrence in San Francisco, and them planning a wedding in just a matter of a couple months – we didn’t get a chance to do an engagement session very far before the wedding! In fact, we did it just 2 days before! In the midst of all of the final week of preparation, they took a little time out of their hectic schedule to spend some time letting me photograph them. It is so helpful on the day of the wedding for us to have all worked together before, that is really is important for us to do an engagement session. I’m so glad they agreed!

We met up in Boston and spent some time walking from the Public Gardens to the Harbor and back. It was a surprisingly warm Fall day and we ended up having a great time!

They’re so sweet together!

This tree is amazing!

Looking out across the harbor to where their wedding would be held just a couple days later!

Amy & Lawrence – thank you again for making time for this! It was great to spend the time with you and just get to know you both a bit, and I think it made the wedding day way more fun to feel like we’d gotten to be friends beforehand! :)

Lori’s fabulous Christian Louboutin shoes! And the cool hanger a friend had made for her :)

I love when people have their rings engraved on the inside! It’s like a little secret they keep on them all the time :)

Sometimes, I have to multi-task :)

Lori & Mark’s Wedding – Boston MA

One of the things I love about my job is that no two couples are the same. While some brides may end up with the same shoes, or the same flowers, or the same location… each couple totally unique. Lori & Mark are no exception! From the outside, these two look about as different as you can get. Mark is 6 foot something, while Lori is just under 5 feet tall. She’s very bubbly and expressive, while he is quiet and stoic. But when you meet them, you can see just how well they fit together! It was awesome to get to celebrate with them as they got married at the Boston Harbor Hotel and then celebrated with a reception on The Odyssey earlier this Fall!

Love this shot of Lori getting all dolled up!

Mark waiting with the guys

The bar wasn’t open yet, but we still used it for a few photos :)

Lori’s reaction to Mark’s wedding gift was priceless! Mark definitely did well picking out jewelry for his bride!

Love this shot of Lori getting ready!

she has such beautiful eyes!

Prayer and laughter just before the ceremony

The ceremony was held in the pavillion [Photo by my assistant Coco Boardman]

We shot through the windows quite a bit to get the best view!

Photo by Second Shooter Erin Chapman

After the ceremony we headed to the archway for some portraits

I love this one of Lori & her Mom! So sweet!

The girls :)

The men

Then it was time to climb aboard the Odyssey for a few more portraits before the party got started.

Celebrating with the Bridal Party

First Dance

Another great shot by Erin

The Best Man, Mark’s brother, gave a great toast that had everyone laughing and crying

Lori & her Father

Don’t you love the short little dress Lori changed into for the reception?!

After Party!

Lori & Mark – thank you so much for trusting me, Erin & CoCo to capture your wedding! It has been so fun getting to know you guys and your wedding was a blast! I’m so glad we could be a part of it! If only woofs had been there… ;)
