Nancy and Jason at Boston Public Garden

We lucked out with one of the last, best days of autumn for Nancy and Jason's engagement shoot in Boston last weekend. The only downside...we had to share the public space with thousands of others doing the same:) This was one of my favorites...looks like we had the space to ourselves here....

Kirsten and Chris on the Marginal Way

Chris proposed to Kirsten on the the Marginal Way in Ogunquit. So that's where we made some engagement photos last week. Click the link to see a brief video of some of the images!

Phillies and Red Sox in World Series!

OK, it would have been great, but Tricia and Mark will have something else to celebrate on November 1st...their wedding! Let's hope the Phillies can pull it off, for Mark's sake....

A Beautiful Saturday in Portland, Maine

Kate and David continued their lucky streak by landing a beautiful day for their outdoor ceremony by the sea in Portland, Maine. Here are a couple of my favs:

I love the colors and softness of this getting ready image...



And the way the light lit up her dress and veil as she arrived for the ceremony....



It's only fair that the gorgeous groom gets some face time, too!

The Sun Shines on Kate and David

That's right...the sun came out for Kate and David's e-session on Tuesday. They must have brought it with them from the West Coast! Here they are looking cool and relaxed...they undoubtedly have all the details wrapped up for the wedding this Saturday! If you'd like to see a quick video from the session in Ogunquit, Maine, click here.

Cat and Duncan in Portsmouth

Cat and Duncan are lucky enough to have their own place in downtown Portsmouth, so that was the location of their engagement session. They stopped in for a drink at the Victory Restaurant the night of the proposal, so of course we had to do the same for our shoot. And just to keep things interesting, here's a 30 second music video of some of the other images

Alita and John

Alita and John caught the last of the spring flowering trees at Prescott Park Thursday night. Their wedding is in just a few weeks at the Cardigan Lodge in Alexandria NH!

Shannon and Garrett E-session

Weather turned out great this weekend for Shannon and Garrett. Good thing, too, since they drove all the way up from NYC. Looking forward to the wedding in September!

A Portsmouth Romance

I photograph lots of couples all throughout New England (and sometimes the world..) but every once in a while, its nice to work with a couple who met and fell in love right here in my adopted home town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Since it was sunny and about 65 degrees, I suggested we meet in the center of Portsmouth to begin photographing. That's when I learned that Jon and Demaris met for the first time at a downtown club. We walked around, made some photographs, had a cappuccino, and photographed some more. I noticed a spot where the light was soft and beautiful where we made the images shown. They told me that we were in front of the restaurant where they had their first date , and right across the street from their first kiss. Our session that day was kind of like a Ouija Board-some invisible force gently pulling us into the perfect spaces for making some meaningful photographs.

I'm Back....

OK, I know, I've been a bad blogger. Things kind of got away from me when the wedding photography world came into its critical mass in the fall. I'm going to try to make a new beginning here with some current work, starting with Maria and Miguel's e-session. We were scheduled for the end of December, and I was more than a little worried about Miguel, whose family is from Colombia, and our New Hampshire weather. Especially concerned when he showed up with just a sweater and scarf. But he had his lovely fiance Maria to help keep him warm. That, and the fact that he's lived in London for years. If you've ever been to England in the winter and seen the locals sitting outside in a pub garden, drinking an ale, in their shirtsleeves, you know what I mean. Maria and Miguel were both great-posing on a windswept New Hampshire beach with no complaints!

Jennifer and Josef

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing an e-session for Jennifer and Josef in Ogunquit. Maine is a special place for them-its a favorite weekend getaway and they were engaged at one of Ogunquit's romantic restaurants, Gypsy Sweethearts. We began with some photographs on the rocks at Marginal Way and finished up at Gypsy's. Looking forward to the wedding in just a few weeks. If you'd like to see more images, click here....

Rachel and Dave's E-Session

Saturday evening I did a fun e-session with Rachel and Dave in Portsmouth. Because they were engaged in Portland, we used the bridge to Maine as a backdrop to some of their images. And then there's ice cream. Ice cream is(one)of my summer indulgences, so I was thrilled when they mentioned it, too. So after doing some nice portraits we headed over to Annabelle's on Cere's Street and finished up there. Sweet!
