Elena & Dan’s Wedding – The Crane Estate

Elena & Dan got married this Fall at the beautiful Great House at Castle Hill on the Crane Estate in Ipswich. It was a nice sunny day, but turned very cold and windy just before we got to the estate. Not the best combination for an outdoor ceremony, but they made the best of it and the whole event turned out just lovely! Here’s a look at a few of my favorites from the day!

Such a beautiful bride!

Oh, the flower girl was too cute! My assistant Shannon captured this image.

Making sure the veil is secure enough to withstand the wind!

My talented friend Ned Jackson came to second shoot with me for the day. He captured some beautiful images, including this one of the ring bearer helping his little sister :)

I love how Dan is cracking up in the background!

Shannon snagged this shot from behind the ceremony.

And Ned ran to the upstairs window to capture this shot of the grounds. Talk about a gorgeous spot for a wedding!

Another fabulous shot by Ned

Warming his bride’s hands

By the time the ceremony ended, we only had a few minutes left of daylight. I hate how early the sun sets in the Fall & Winter! It would have been cool to photograph Dan & Elena around the grounds, but luckily the inside of the mansion was beautiful as well! We caught a few great portraits on the stairs. I don’t think they were supposed to sit on that bench though… oops!

Ned captured this shot (laying on the stairs, if I do recall). How perfect is that painting behind them of the boy & girl on a bench?

First Dance!

OK, I have to admit, I don’t normally love cake cutting shots. It’s just not my favorite part of the reception. But I loved this shot… the way she’s grabbing his face is so sweet!

On to the PARTY! I love what fun-loving, fabulous-dancing couples I’ve had this year!

groomsmen…

Shake it, Dan! haha!

Elena & Dan – thank you so much for having me, Shannon, & Ned there to capture your day! It was a great day, and such a pleasure to meet your friends & family. I hope you love the photos!!

Anne & Sean’s Wedding – Hingham, MA

I loved Anne & Sean‘s Wedding! The whole day was fun and full of emotion, an old fashioned feel but a little bit funky. Check out the previous post below for some more of the details.

We started the day at Anne’s parents’ house in Hingham while Anne was getting ready…

Ever since I got the new Totally Rad Actions Dirty Pictures, I’ve been able to use textures in my photos more and more. I’ve been wanting to play with this for a long time, but TRA finally came up with a way to make it easy for me… I love that :) I really liked this one with the full-blown texture. It feels like a painting to me. What do you think? Do you like it better with or without the texture?

Shortly after Anne got ready, Sean came over to the house for a First Look. When it came time for them to see each other, they really just wanted to have a private moment alone. I waited in the stairway to capture them as soon as they came out. It killed me to not get to photograph that moment, but I guess it’s not ALL about the photos in the end ;)

We did get to capture everyone else’s first look at Anne in her dress though! My assistant, Elizabeth caught this shot of Anne’s Dad and friend seeing her come down the stairs. Priceless!

We shot few portraits in the beautiful light in the back yard before heading off to the wedding

Anne surprised Sean with a sign with their names on it at the theatre across from the Old Derby. I loved his reaction when he saw it!!

Ah, the militiamen! Such a cool touch to the day!

I love the contrast here…

Old Ship Church is one of the most unique churches I’ve ever shot in. It’s almost entirely wood everywhere, and really beautiful – and the pews are these boxes that you step into. Totally interesting and different!

There were a lot of tears throughout the day

and a LOT of laughter!

sweet view, huh?

After the ceremony, the militiamen fired off a round from their muskets and lead everyone in a parade down the street to the Old Derby for the reception.

During the parade we ran across the street to take some portraits with the theatre sign

There were so many great toasts!

another great shot by Elizabeth

First Dance!

Near the end of the night, they were still having a great time and dancing up a storm!

Anne & Sean – thank you again for letting us be a part of your day! We had so much fun, and just loved working with you and your family & friends. It’s always so nice to photograph an event where each and every guest truly loves and is so genuinely excited for the bride & groom! I hope you enjoy years and years of that kind of happiness, and all sorts of laughter together!

Anne & Sean’s Wedding – Black & White FILM

Anne & Sean got married in Hingham this Fall and their wedding had such a cool flare to it! They got married at Old Ship Church and had their reception at Old Derby, they even had some old militiamen around to fire off some muskets! It was an awesome blend of old with a modern flair. I think black & white film was a perfect fit to capture some of that feel! I wish I could have shot the whole day in film! But as you’ll see in a couple days, the digital was pretty cool too :) Here are a few of my favorites…

Holga

Widelux shots in Old Ship Church

A couple details from Old Derby, on the Holga

Militiamen on the Widelux!

And a couple of portraits of Anne & Sean taken with my Nikon F100.

Anne & Sean – I hope you guys love the film images! The digital images are in the final stages of editing and should be up in just a few days!! I can’t wait to share them with you :)

Sarah & Peter’s Wedding – Winchester, MA

Sarah & Peter were married this summer on a wicked hot day. Now that it’s getting cold outside, it’s hard to even imagine just how hot we were that day!

The day started out at Sarah’s family home in Lexington. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the gorgeous daisies on the counter. The bright red and the little touches of blue were just beautiful!

Sarah took a moment to read through the scripture for the ceremony.

She looked so beautiful!

The ceremony was held at First Baptist Church in Winchester. Sarah & her Dad shared a moment before heading down the aisle.

Both Sarah & Peter’s families are very musical. Their friends and siblings participated in the ceremony by singing and playing instruments. It was a beautiful time of worship – so special and personal. Even with sweat dripping down my face in the un-air conditioned church, I loved it ;)

The next 2 photos were taken by my assistant, Elizabeth

After the ceremony, we went across the street to Mill Pond for a few minutes alone with the happy couple

After some portraits, we headed back across the road to Hope Christian Church for the reception. Hope recently planted my church, GENESIS in Woburn. Sarah’s Dad is an elder at Hope, and I’ve known their family since before I moved to Boston. It was fun to be so familiar with the surroundings, and the guests, and to feel like such a part of the family at this wedding.

The reception was early in the day, so instead of dancing they had a lot of great toasts and games and fun throughout the afternoon. Peter’s brother gave a tear-jerking toast.

Sarah’s sister, and maid-of-honor, Allie’s toast. You’ll notice that Sarah changed into a great little red dress for the party! So fun!

They had bowls full of personalized M&M‘s out, and I just had to play a little bit!

After a fun afternoon, these two literally ran out the door and off to their new life together! Elizabeth was able to capture this great shot as they ran through the bubbles.

Sarah & Peter – it was so great to be a part of your wedding day! I hope you’re settling in to your new life in England, and enjoying married life!

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.

Megan… taken on the Holga

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.

And finally, the First Dance on film…

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 :)

Dad

Mom

Megan made necklaces for each of her bridesmaids. I think they’re beautiful!

it’s not as easy as you think…

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!

Waiting to walk down the aisle…

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

A quick portrait of the newlyweds in front of Holy Family Church

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?!

Then we had a few minutes alone with Megan & Mike…

This is my favorite!

My favorite part of the day was the reception! I always love a good dance party, and these people did not disappoint!!

Megan & Mike, thank you SO much for trusting me to document your wedding! It was absolutely a pleasure to spend the day with all of you! I hope you love the photos :)

Erin & Steve’s Wedding – Cambridge, MA

Erin and Steve‘s wedding was wonderful! The weather was lovely, Erin was absolutely stunning, and they spent the day surrounded by family and having a really fun time. Sounds about right, doesn’t it? :)

Erin, having her makeup done… totally glamorous!

Erin’s Grandmother was pretty much my favorite person at the wedding :) She’s the cutest!

I’m loving the curve of her waist, and the way her hand is laying on her hip… so gorgeous!

Erin’s sister helping with her necklace

And my assistant, Elizabeth‘s take on the same moment…

Totally excited to see the limo pulling up outside!

Steve

Erin and Mom getting ready to head over to Our Lady of the Assumption for the ceremony

I love little moments like this during the wedding

After the ceremony, we went over to Hotel Marlowe for some portraits before the reception. Hotel Marlowe is now officially one of my favorite hotels for weddings! It is so funky and has so many interesting details, that I actually preferred to do portraits inside for a change! Plus, they set up a Wii during the cocktail hour and that is just the coolest!

I mean, come on!

Hotel Marlowe sits along the Charles River, so we did venture outside for a few portraits by the water

Erin & Steve’s cake was beautiful. The swirlies all over it were also on the menus and ran throughout the details. It was really well put together.

Elizabeth captured this moment during the first dance

What’s better than a photo of a cute Grandma? A photo of her dancing with her new grandson! Totally precious!

I’m also a sucker for cute little kids at weddings, not just Grandmas…

Thanks Elizabeth for capturing a nice shot of me during the wedding! I’m not a fan of having my picture taken, like most photographers, so it’s always nice when someone can catch a good one ;)

Erin & Steve spent most of the night dancing with their friends, and having a fabulous time!

Erin & Steve – thank you so much for having us along to capture your day! The wedding was so fun, and I hope you have as much fun going through all the images and living it all over again!

Kris & Erin’s Indiana Wedding

Earlier this summer, I had the chance to go back home to Indiana for some quality time with the fam, and to photograph my little cousin’s wedding. Kristopher has always been one of my favorites (ok, I probably say that about all my cousins, but still, it’s true) so when he asked me to shoot his wedding, I couldn’t say no! Kris is a comedian, a video producer, and a film maker. So naturally, they chose a theater as the backdrop for their wedding.

Kris and Erin got married at the Paramount Theatre in Anderson, Indiana.

K is for Krista! Just kidding, their last name is Knight ;)

My uncle Kurt looking very handsome

Getting ready

This perfectly Kristopher photo was taken by my assistant, Kyle Peters

I love hand-written vows!!!

This theater was such a cool place for photos!! Doesn’t Erin look beautiful?!

Just before heading down the aisle

The ceremony took place on the stage. Stage lights on and house lights off made the photos very dramatic.

Kris cried like a baby during the ceremony ;) but there was also a LOT of laughter!

The Bridal Party in the balcony. The theater was GORGEOUS!

Even though it rained most of the day, the sun came out just in time for some photos!

I love that Erin’s up on her tip toes!

We had to take some more photos back inside because it was just too beautiful!

Kris & Erin had their first dance to Flight of the Conchords, “Most Beautiful Girl in the Room”… press play and enjoy!

They are really good dancers…

Their reception was a blast and all their friends were dancing like crazy. I could share SO many pics, but instead, I’ll just share this one of Kris dancing with our sassy Grandma. It makes me smile :)

And, here’s a little snapshot of my family. Looking at this I realized how much my sister looks like my Dad, and I look like my mom! I think when we were younger that was reversed. Funny how that happens as you grow up :)

Kris & Erin – I love you guys!! I’m so glad I could be there for your wedding! Now that you’re both living it up in NYC, you’ll have to come up to Boston for a visit :) I hope you love the photos!!
