9 August 2010, 1:58 pmJohn & Britt rock!. They picked an awesome spot on the ocean on a beautiful day. It was
Odiorne State Park near Portsmouth, New Hampshire at the
Seacoast Science Center. They day turned out perfect although with a little bit of harsh light because of the midday sun. We found some gorgeous light at sunset as you'll see below. Anyway, John and Britt make a great couple and planned a stunning wedding from the dresses to the shoes to all of the details at the reception. Britt's got style! The wedding party was lots of fun too and everyone had a great time. A quick shout out to Ashley Stokes as well. She is the event coordinator at the Seacoast Science Center and did an amazing classy job. Here is the storyboard from the day.
12 July 2010, 11:16 pmWell, it was another one of those dreary forecast days for a wedding but in the end it turned out beautiful. Thanks to the incompetent weather men here in the Boston area. Scott and Lauren were so cute together. Lauren was a beautiful bride. You could tell it was just two best friends getting married. Congrats to them! The venue was Stowe Acres Country Club. The images came out beautiful and this is my first post with our new layout design for wedding photography. Hope you like it.

8 June 2010, 9:31 amSummer has arrived here in New England in full force. I was on my way to Juliano and Mellissa's engagement shoot in Charlestown at the Bunker Hill Monument Park. It was two hours before sunset and it looked like night time because of the dark clouds hovering over Boston. Then the rain came rolling in. Oddly enough as I pulled in front of the park it stopped and began to clear. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful evenings we've had this season not to mentioned working with a great couple who were so happy together. Juliano and Mellissa are getting married at the end of the month. The wedding is at the Commanders Mansion in Watertown. www.commandersmansion.com. Check out a few images from their engagement shoot.
