Mount Washington Hotel

Peter and I are back from our mini-vacation at the Mount Washington Hotel. I actually got the idea to go there from a few clients of mine who’ve stayed at the hotel and enjoyed it.

Because I’ve been lugging around two Canon 5Ds all wedding season, I decided to ditch the big cameras and get back to basics with my little Panasonic LX3 point and shoot. It’s a tiny camera but it packs a punch! Peter actually took the middle photo. I think he did a pretty good job!

Arlene + Jeff's Cape Cod Wedding: The Wequassett Inn

Arlene and Jeff were recently married at the Wequassett Inn in Chatham, MA. You might remember their engagement session from a few months back. Here are a few of my favorite photos from their wedding day.

The staff at the Wequassett Inn really had their act together. Kalson, the site coordinator, was just so amazing and organized. He was super helpful and actually helped me coordinate Jeff and Arlene’s first look, not to mention numerous other logistics that day. If we only had someone like Kalson at every wedding!

When Arlene told me that she was going to perform a hula dance at the wedding, it didn’t really hit me. I didn’t realize how beautiful it was going to be. I have to say, I was truly mesmerized!

Shawn and Lani were my first ever wedding clients. Recently on National Adoption Day, Shawn and Lani adopted their two children. Here are a few of my favorite photos from that day.

A few favorites from Robyn and Justin’s engagement session in the Boston Public Garden. You’ll see them back here on the blog next year, when they’ll have their wedding at Belle Mer in Newport, RI.

Angela + Colin's North Shore Wedding

I recently photographed Angela and Colin’s wedding in Newburyport, Mass. Their ceremony was held at the First Religious Society Unitarian Church and the reception was at The Phoenix Room.

Angela and I are both really into ghosts and anything spooky. I think we discovered this when I posted a facebook update about watching Ghost Hunters. When she told me that she and Colin would be getting ready at the reportedly haunted Garrison Inn, I was pretty excited! But alas … I’ve scanned these “getting ready” photos for orbs and shadow people and haven’t found anything suspicious.

This is the only time where I’ve ever used a guest’s lens to photograph at a wedding. I happened to “know” one of the groomsmen through my flickr account. What a small world! Anyway, he lent me his 50mm macro and I used it to take the ring photo below.

A Slideshow: Ed & Nina, Eloped in New York City

A few weeks ago I wrote about my friends Ed and Nina’s elopement in NYC. That post received more comments than anything I’ve ever published on the blog! So to follow up, I thought I’d share their slideshow.

This is the only client slideshow where I’ve ever made a cameo appearance. I don’t normally do that, but Ed and Nina are friends. Their wedding was just me, Ed, Nina, and Oscar: Ed’s 96-year-old godfather who was also best man at Ed’s parents’ wedding in 1970. Oh, and check out all of the other couples getting married at New York City Hall. I love it!

Whitney + Phil: Engaged in Boston

I recently posted a photo of Whitney and Phil’s engagement at Boston’s ICA. It may easily be my favorite engagement portrait of all time! Here are a few more favorites from that session.

We photographed in Boston’s Chinatown, the Brattle Bookstore, and the ICA.

You might remember my friend Ed, whose NYC elopement I recently photographed. Well, you see that blurry figure all the way in the background of the photo below? That’s Ed! I have joked to him many times that he is EVERYWHERE. I bump into him more than anyone else I know. He popped up a few minutes later and said hi, and then I realized that he had been in the background while I was photographing. Small world.

I am so, so excited to photograph Whitney and Phil’s wedding next September at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla, California. As my second destination wedding next season, it will be a real adventure!
