Jennifer & Greg: Cathedral of the Holy Cross & The Seaport Boston Hotel

Thursday, September 29, 2011

Most people would be a little freaked out about a hurricane forecast to land during their wedding reception, but Jen and Greg were so happy about this day that nothing could get them down. We went with the flow and made a last minute decision to photograph their portraits before the ceremony, just so we could get some nice outdoor shots. Jen and Greg were one of the happiest, coolest couples I’ve worked with this year. These are some my favorite photos from their wedding at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and the Seaport Boston Hotel.

I was sad that I didn’t get to photograph their cat Gino wearing his tux — I love animals and am a little crazy about my own cats. But Gino was freaked out by all the wedding day commotion and wouldn’t come out from under the bed. He is adorable but not as laid-back as Jen and Greg. I felt that Gino still needed to be represented so I photographed the ring bearer with his portrait.

Courtney & Adam: Willowdale Estate Wedding

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

These are some of my favorite photos from Courtney and Adam’s wedding at Willowdale Estate. Courtney wore her mother’s wedding dress from 1974, her grandmother’s wedding band, and carried her grandmother’s beaded purse. For their first dance, Adam’s brother played guitar and sang. Courtney’s brother made their cake topper.

Courtney and Adam did something at their wedding that I’m seeing more often. After their public ceremony, they took time just for themselves and through hand-written letters, exchanged private vows. It was my favorite part of the day.

Film Is Not Dead: A Review

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.
