Aimee and Rob live in NYC and recently traveled to Boston for their engagement photos. In November 2012 they’ll have their wedding ceremony at Our Lady of Victories in Boston. I love that name — “Our Lady of Victories.” They are one of the six couples I’m working with in 2012 who are having their reception at the Boston Public Library.

Recently engaged, Emily and Andrew will have their wedding this February at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston. Here are some of my favorite photos from their engagement session in the Public Garden. Makeup by Dani Wagener.

Jenny and David are engaged. Their wedding is one of six that I’m photographing next year at the Boston Public Library. You’ll see them again here on the blog in June, 2012.

Here are of my favorite photos from Kristin and Jason’s engagement photo session in Malden. You’ll see them again next month, when I’ll photograph their wedding at Arlington Town Hall.

Liz and Sanjay are engaged. You’ll see them again on the blog next year, when I photograph their wedding at Glen Magna Farms in Danvers, Mass.

A few highlights from Brooke & Adam’s rehearsal dinner on the North Shore, Massachusetts… their wedding at Willowdale Estate is up next.

In late July I spent a few days in Seattle at Jonathan Canlas’ workshop Film Is Not Dead. Some people are surprised that I’ve never been to a photography-related workshop, lecture or conference. I think I was waiting for the right workshop. It’s so important who you learn from.

I was looking for something authentic. When I saw Jonathan’s images and learned about FIND, I thought “this is the real deal.” Jonathan says that he keeps no secrets and that is no lie — just check out his Formspring page. So I signed up for FIND Seattle.

At FIND Seattle, I learned things about posing, prints, and story-telling that I can begin applying to my business right now. And film photography has opened a whole new world to me — I have never processed images as beautifully as RPL has done with the Kodak Portra images above.* I left Seattle so excited and energized about photography that I couldn’t wait to get back to Boston to photograph my next wedding.

In the spirit of generosity I found at FIND Seattle, I want to share Jonathan’s FIND Guide. As a FIND associate, I do receive a small proceed from any guides sold. But I would be telling you about it anyway. If you’re in my neck of the woods — Boston — then get ready for FIND Boston 2012. I highly, highly recommend this workshop.

By now you get it. I’m excited about photography and I’m nuts about film and I’m crazy about FIND. So crazy in fact, that I’ve already signed up for the FIND workshop in Ibiza, Spain next year. See you there.

*I shot all of the photographs in this post at FIND Seattle with a Canon EOS-1v, Kodak Portra 400 & 800.
