Emily and Chris were engaged on a snowy evening in 2008, so it was only fitting that their wedding took place during the October snowstorm on the 29th. Neither one seemed particularly concerned about the snow and were in good spirits about moving what was to be the fall outdoor ceremony, indoors. Conroy Catering and Synergetic Sounds helped make the day run smoothly. It seems ironic that the wedding I shot at Laurita Winery during hurricane Irene was with the same two vendors! Next time I am requesting sunshine.
Because of the inclement weather, we were limited in our formal locations, but the front porch of Glen Foerd worked well, with the exception of the fact that it was freezing!! Everyone was a good sport. It almost looks like it was warm out!!
Chris and his best man decided they needed to hold hands for a walking shot!
Emily and Chris had told me how they really wanted to have some photos by the dog sculpture, so we went outside for a few shots.
The decor at the reception was wonderful and so creative. The personalized pumpkins actually inspired me to get really creative this year and carve our halloween pumpkin to look like our weimaraner!
Chris and Emily spent their honeymoon at The Carter Notch Inn in Jackson, NH.
Jennifer and Paul were married in September at Tendenza. I was thrilled to once again help Heather Fowler by shooting a wedding for her, while she adjusted to being a new mom. I had been wanting to shoot at Tendenza since it opened and now was my chance. What a great location!! We started our day at The Lowes Hotel and made a stop at Second Bank for formals. To see more of the wedding visit Heather’s blog.
It’s not often that I get the chance to do some personal shooting when I am out of town on assignment. The weekend the MLK Memorial was being dedicated, I happened to be shooting in DC for Living Beyond Breast Cancer. My assistant and I were poking around for something DC like to do and thought that with Occupy DC, the MLK dedication taking place on Sunday and just the usual rally/march/protest spirit that accompanies a trip to DC, we would find something happening at the Washington Monument. We arrived a few minuted before MLK’s son was speaking to a group of Union supporters. Wow, great timing. Following the speech, the group marched to the statue and along the way, groups from Occupy DC and others joined the procession. While I shot many rally and protest photos, this one seemed to encompass my spirit that day. I love DC!
Janine and Nelson were married on a rainy Friday at Knowlton Mansion. Even though the weather did not cooperate for an outdoor ceremony and formal session, inside you would have never know it was raining. Janine is a commercial client of mine from Living Beyond Breast Cancer and I was honored when she asked me to photographer her very special wedding day. It was fun getting to know her outside of our work lives and to meet Nelson, the guys who stole her heart!
The butterfly clasp on Janine’s bracelet was just beautiful. Nelson, in keeping with the butterfly theme, gave Janine a butterfly necklace after the ceremony as a wedding gift.
Janine and Nelson had the very good taste to have their flowers done by Robertson’s Florist, the same florist I used for my wedding.
Nelson chose to have grooms women instead of men. I am sure there are many jealous guys out there who wish their grooms men were as good looking as Nelson’s grooms women!
I must admit, when I saw Janine holding back the tears as she was walking down the aisle, I had a hard time keeping my tears in as well.
Janine and Nelson, I wish you a very long and happy married life. Thank you for asking me to be your photographer!
