Sarah and Madison, My Nieces!

I went over to my step sisters home last week to take some photos of my baby niece Madison. While setting up for the photo, Madison’s big sister Sarah decided to get in front of the camera and start posing! This was just completely random! You never know what kids will do next.

Triple Scoop Music Feature!

I got a little surprise (even though I knew it was coming) in my e-mail inbox today. Triple Scoop Music featured me in their newsletter that goes out to tens of thousands of photographers! I use Triple Scoop Music for licensing all the songs we use on our website, slideshows, hybrid videos, and more. I do not use copyrighted music that I cannot get the rights to use. That’s just stealing. Just like if a musician used one of my photos for their album cover without my permission. Triple Scoop Music is the best solution for photographers.

PS Thanks to the photographers across the US that already called about my upcoming talk in Boston! I may just try and get something online that everyone can see, or maybe I’ll come to a city near you!

 
 
 

Vanessa and David! New Years Eve! #200!

First off, wow. This night was a culmination of a lot of things. An amazing wedding, a loving couple, New Years Eve (my wife came with me!), and my official 200th wedding that I’ve photographed over the past 6 years. How random that such a big number ended up on New Years Eve.

Vanessa and David’s winter wedding was at the Inn at Longshore. I managed to get them out in the fresh snow for a few photos without messing up the dress!

I love working with the ah-mazing as always Naomi Martinez, makeup artist. The dogs seemed to know they would be left home all day.


One of the engagement session photos ended up in their music boxes!






I setup a first look for them since their family pictures were being done before the ceremony. I love doing first looks.


Their florist over at Daniel Florals and Events, Inc. was just amazing.




Can I just tell you how proud I am of the photo on the left? It was taken by my “I’m not a Photographer, I’m a Physical Therapist” wife. I did setup the camera on manual, preset the focus, and showed her how I wanted it framed, when to take it… and she got it! Go honey!


The kids were adorable watching the ceremony.








How good does the Inn at Longshore look? The florist again with some amazing work.




Very emotional dances with Vanessa and her uncle, and David with his mom.








Count down with me!!!! 3! 2! 1! Happy New Year!!!!!!


Every time I looked over at them they were kissing. An amazing couple.

For Sale!

This wasn’t easy to do, but it has to be done. Kelley and I love our condo. But over the last 8 months we’ve been thinking about moving to another part of the state. Many factors have played into this decision. And now it’s time to give it a try. If you know anyone looking for an amazing condo in North Haven, in a small desirable complex with a pool, here it is! I’ve done a lot of work to the place, including just finishing the master bath redo, new living room carpet, and plenty of painting. And how about these pictures for the listing?!?! That alone should bring in some traffic! Click the image below for the listing.

Wedding Photography Directory Top 10!

I’ve been pretty lucky in the Wedding Photography Directory, Creative Wedding Photo Contest in the past. And once again I managed to pull something off! Since the contest is a “creative” contest I tend to enter things that could be considered creative to the point of abstract. And that’s what I did this time. And it paid off! Here’s the image that made the top 10:

Usually when people look at this image I can see the look of confusion on their face. Some have figured it out, some don’t see it at all. I stood back with my big zoom lens and focused in on the screen inside the videographers cameras eye piece. I had a small view of the back side of the brides face. The black areas are of the video camera. The tan areas are the alter of the church.

I wasn’t the only one surprised this made the top ten. The Wedding Photography Directory was surprised too! Click here to see the winners and finalists.

Emily and Eric!

I was back in Boston for Emily and Eric’s wedding! I really do love it in Boston. And how can you not love photographing there with two amazing people? And an amazing wedding? While it was amazingly cold out, Emily and Eric had no problems keeping a smile inbetween the shivers.

On a side note, I’m starting a new thing here on my blog with how I display my images. In the past everything was a single stand alone image. Now I’m starting something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, photo collages. I’ve discovered an easier way to put these together. There will be a few stand alone images, but I hope to continue doing this gallery style from now one. It’s a little time consuming, but I know it’s totally worth it! Plus I get to share more images while posting fewer images which will make my blog load faster. Enjoy!




Even their dog got dressed up!



What a great view from their family’s place in Boston.



I ran outside for the opposite angle too.



There were caroler’s greeting guests are the church.



My associate shooter Greg covered the guys.



What a beautiful church. Eric had to bite his lip and close his eyes when Emily was about to come down the isle.















A few quick wedding party shots and everyone was frozen!






How great is the view from The State Room? That’s a 360 degree photo.









I’m totally hooked on this photo of Emily and Eric dancing in the reflection of the windows. You can see the buildings in the floor!
