Meet Amy & Nelson

Last week I got to meet up with Amy and Nelson for their engagement shoot in the Public Garden. I met Amy last year while shooting her friends wedding who is also named Amy. During the reception I put up a slideshow on my laptop for the B & G and the guests to view. After seeing the images she came running up to me and said that she wasn't engaget yet, but as soon as she was she wanted me to be her photographer! Well, sure enough, she called me last fall and told me that Nelson had popped the question.

I'm thrilled to be a part of their big day which is coming up very soon in Amy's home town of Providence, RI.

I love to hear you thoughts! What did you think of this post?

Kara & John's Wedding

Yesterday Kara & John were married at the Old West Church in Boston. The day started out out beautiful, but after the ceremony the rain began to fall. Fortunately, Kara had scheduled an extra hour for photos between the ceremony and cocktail hour so after we returned to the Boston Hyatt from the Public Garden, we waited for the rain to stop and then headed back out for more photos! There's not much greenery around the hotel, but I thought it would be cool to take some shots in Downtown Crossing. They were really great about it, even when a stranger tried to give her big kiss to "congratulate" her and John. :O

As we walked back to the hotel past the Opera House, we noticed there were people coming in and out so decided to see if we could take a few photos in the lobby. The guard was so nice and even asked some tourists to leave the area where we were shooting so we could be alone! As we walked back past the lobby to the other space he had cleared we turned the corner and saw the decorated high top tables in front of the staircase and then realized that he had mistaken Kara and John for the bride and groom who were actually having their wedding there later on!! I guess that's what he meant when he told the tourists this was a "private function". So Kara and John can say they were wedding crashers on their own wedding day!

Here are some photos from the downtown shoot as well as some of my favorites from the rest of the day:

Right after the flower girl, Kara's niece Kaleigh, ran down the isle with her arms pointed behind her like an airplane, she stopped to give her daddy a kiss.

Chris was up in the balcony with his super wide angle view of the ceremony. All other super wide shots see here are courtesy of Chris Mulready.

Melissa & Nate

Yesterday Melissa & Nate tied the knot at the beautiful Park Plaza Hotel in Boston and will finally be together after many years in a long distance relationship. They also made the very wise decision of seeing each other for the first time before the ceremony and got the chance to spend a little time alone before heading over to the Public Garden for family photos.

Heading down to meet Nate.

The first look was supposed to be on the Grand Staircase, but Melissa was a little late so the ended up meeting in the Grand Ballroom (which was in the process of being set up).

I love this shot on the staircase!

When we were at the gardens for their engagement shoot these flowers were all light green and I love that they turned to a beautiful violet color for their wedding!
