Michelle & Ryan's Wedding!

Today I photographed Michelle and Ryan's very small and intimate wedding at the Harbor Light Inn in Marblehead, MA. They are such a sweet couple and you can really tell that Ryan's got it bad for Michelle. That huge smile gives it away every time! After the ceremony we drove down to a gorgeous park right on the water. There was the most romantic mist this afternoon and I must have seemed like the biggest photo geek because I kept telling them how great and amazing the mist was!

If you're wondering where the dancing photos are, Michele and Ryan chose to have a beautiful sit down dinner right after the cocktail hour. Choosing to spend their very special day with the closest of family and friends made this wedding really special and a refreshing change. I'm so honored that they chose me to be a part of their wedding and they even gave me a wonderful hand written thank you note right before I left!

Venue: Harbor Light Inn

The ceremony in the parlor. Not much room for the photographer to be unobtrusive but I like a challenge!


Michelle's grandmother is welcoming Ryan into the family. There's always a moment at every wedding where I tear up and this was it!






Cute toasting glasses.

New Album Samples Are Here!

So, today I finally got my act together, got my camera out and took some pictures of my new album samples which I'm so excited to share with you!

These first albums are made by Queensberry of New Zealand. These are beautiful heirloom quality albums constructed with the the finest materials, lots of love and are truly works of art.

Here is the 14 x 10 portfolio sample with it's adorable pocket sized duplicate.



The pages are a combination of beautiful hand cut mats integrated with flush mount prints.

The 3.5 x 5" digital copy is an exact digital duplicate of the bridal album. This baby makes a great parent album. It's small enough to fit in mom's purse so she can bring it with her anywhere and brag about you to everyone she meets!



The Couture Earth Book is a totally green album featuring 100% Post-Consumer recycled paper, environmentally sensitive cover materials like hemp, recycled kraft paper and lotka paper. Green E-Certified Wind power is used and 5% of the proceeds go to replanting and reforesting and purchasing offsetting carbon credits... AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!! AWESOME!!! It makes you want to run out and hug a tree!



The Renaissance Mercer Book is a fresh, modern and innovative approach to the panoramic album with a unique photo front and back cover highlighted by silk accents. This album is really sleek and fresh and perfect for the bride who wants something a little different.






The Renaissance SoHo Album is a contemporary coffee table album designed for showcasing full-page prints. It's design and construction is fully customizable from beautiful leather, suede and silk cover options to different cover styles and openings.




Last but not least is the engagement signature book. This book is a hard cover coffee table style album with photos from your engagement shoot as well as lots of room for your guests to sign at your reception.




So there you have it! I'd love to hear your feedback. What did you think of this post?

Laura & Kevin

Yesterday was the big day for Laura and Kevin. They had their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Atkinson Resort & Country Club in Atkinson, NH. They also had a lot of special surprises from the unique songs played during the ceremony to showing their love of beer and beer breweries by filling tin ice buckets with flowers on the tables, naming their tables after their favorite breweries and toasting with Guinness instead of champagne. There's a photo below with a couple looking embarrassed. Laura and Kevin played a little game on the guests when they started clinking for a kiss. Instead they had a bowl full of names that Laura chose from and the lucky winner had to kiss the girl he came with. Apparently, these two weren't a couple because it took some encouragement from everyone! Here are some of the highlights of the day.
