Dionne & Jason

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love these two! Their wedding was sooooo much fun! I photographed Dionne's sister Tara's wedding last year so I was prepared for a lively bunch but OMG this wedding rocked! First of all Dionne and Jason decided to take their pictures together before the ceremony so that they could enjoy their cocktail hour with their guests. I love when couples do this! I especially love the look on the Groom's face the second his eyes fixate on his Bride! They didn't have a wedding party so we had 2 hours to do family shots and the B&G shots. I finished an hour early and let Jason get back to his buds, and Dionne, Tara and I strolled around the grounds taking a few more shots. Tara was a huge help, love ya Tara ;)

Dionne and Jason's reception was at The Regatta Place in Newport RI and their ceremony was right on the pier beside the reception. They hired an unbelievable band based out of Newport called Those Guys. The band packed the dance floor all night long, there were no chicken dances here my friends.

It was a flawless day, an amazingly beautiful couple, perfect weather, fabulous band, terric food and all around a rocking wedding. Congratulations Dionne and Jason and thank you both so much for making my job an absolute pleasure!

Jane & Kevin Family

Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing an old high school friend Jane and her lovely family. The two little ones were off the wall, no shyness there! These kids were so full of energy, it was refreshing hanging out with them. They have some great little personalities! We did this photo shoot right out back of my new studio and finished up across the street from the studo where there is a small duck and goose pond. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to hang around with such a cool family!

Congratulations Marcey & Tiago

I met Marcey at her Maid of Honor, Jen's wedding last November. Jen and Billy had a ceremony in the United States for family and friends and then they went to Aruba and had a beach ceremony there. They brought their closest family and friends with them. Well Marcey and Tiago went to Aruba with them and actually got engaged while they were out there. It is such a sweet story and these two are soooooo in love! I had a blast at their wedding, it was a really fun wedding party! Congratulations!

Congratulations Amy & Brendon

Amy and Brendon got married on 9/8/07. They are a really great couple. I met up with the guys while the ladies were at the salon and got some great shots of them. Then I headed over to the bride's room for the bride preparation. Amy was a little shy at first but it wasn't long before she was working the camera. Their wedding was alot of fun to photograph! Thanks for making me a part of your special day! Congratulations!

Beth & Keith are married!!!

You may remember Beth and Keith from their steamy hot engagement session a few months back. They got married 9/2/07 at the Stonehurst Manor in North Conway New Hampshire. It was a really unique wedding. The guests arrived on Friday and partied all weekend! The ceremony was on Sunday in the garden out in front of the manor which overlooked the White Mountains. Their dog Dora was the ring bearer and she was so good all day however she did make her presence known! As Beth and Keith shared their first kiss as husband and wife, the guests stood up and clapped and Dora stood up and barked. It was so cute! After the ceremony the staff breaks down the chairs and puts out these huge chess pieces. It was so magical, we had to take advantage of it.

I have to say, Beth and Keith's first dance was probably one of the best I have seen yet. They shared a traditional slow dance and then when we thought it was over they broke out into a swing dance. It was so awesome. I must have 100 shots of that dance alone.

I have been friends with Beth and Keith since high school and it was so great to be part of their big day. I got to see so many people that I haven't seen in over 10 years. I am so happy that you guys FINALLY tied the knot and that I was able to capture this day for you. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congratulations Sandra & Derek

Sandy and Derek tied the knot on 9/1/07 at St. Mary's Cathedral in Fall River. This church is over 150 years old and is absolutely beautiful. We were scheduled to go to another location for formals but when I saw this church I was blown away by it's beauty, so we decided to stay there for pictures. I drive by this church all the time but never stopped to admire it before. It's funny how sometimes things that we see everyday just blend into the background. Anyways there was this group of kids at the wedding who were ripping up the dance floor. My second shooter Armando and I had a blast chasing them around.

Congratulations on your beautiful wedding!

FINE ART ~ FINE MUSIC ~ FINE FOOD

Meet the Nasiffs

I photographed the Nasiff Family last week at Horseneck Beach in Westport Ma. The kids were a little shy in the beginning but it wasn't long before they were hamming it up for the camera! They had a blast playing in the sand and climbing the dunes! One of my favorite things to do at a family session is to photograph the kids playing without them knowing it. That is who they really are at this moment in time and I believe that capturing the interaction between the kids is way more valuable than the typical "say cheese" pictures. Or maybe I just get a kick out of little kids, either way I like to have fun and I like them to have fun! And they did!

Stacie & Nathan

Meet Stacie & Nathan. They are a wonderful couple with great chemistry. I love engagement sessions because they give me a chance to get to know the couple and also to observe how each couple interacts with each other. Stacie and Nathan have alot of fun together and are soooooo in love. It was a absolute pleasure photographing the two of you and I can't wait to shoot your wedding next year! Congratulations on your engagement!!!
