Melissa & Matt's Wedding

Friday Melissa and Matt were married at the beautiful Harding Allen Estate in Barre, MA. Yesterday I got a wonderful email from the Matron of Honor and sister of the bride:

"Melissa,

I only saw the few pictures in the slide show last Friday night and I can tell that you really captured my sister Mel's wedding perfectly! You were a pleasure to work with, you seemed to be everywhere but never in the way of anything. That is such a wonderful attribute for a wedding photographer.

I can't wait to see all the pictures and order a few of my precocious children. I'm still not sure where my son got his dance moves or why my daughter was scared to walk down the aisle but not to stand on the stage.

Thank you again for being so nice.

Rachel"

These kinds of emails are what makes me love my job so much. Even right now when I'm operating on very little sleep, lots of editing, lots of shooting and it feels like I'm never going to get to spend any time with my family I know it's the busy season and it's only temporary. It makes me feel good to know that I'm helping people remember and cherish one of the best days they will ever have and thank you Rachel for helping me do that.

Emily & Dave's Wedding

Sunday I photographed my dream wedding. It wasn't at the Park Plaza or the Ritz, it was at a little herb lyceum in Groton, MA. There wern't hundreds of guests, there were 25. There wern't glowing LCD lights decorating the walls of the grand ballroom, there were herbs hanging on the walls of the barn that you could smell the second you walked through the door. There wasn't a loud introduction followed by an amaging first dance, there were hugs after the ceremony and a "twirl" in the darkness under the single light on the lawn. It was small, intamate and romantic. My dream wedding.

I don't mean to say that I don't like those Park Plaza weddings, or ignore the bride and groom, they are all just as important and equally impressive. If you would like to learn more about Emily and Dave you can click here.
