Andrea & Greg | Wedding | Boston Harbor Hotel

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 02:45:09 +0000

When I walked outside of the hotel just after the bride had finished getting ready, I saw the car everyone was talking about. The grooms 1967 Lincoln Continental that he bought in California and drove across country. This car made a statement and made for some great pics to! I knew right then that this wedding was going to be FUN!

Andrea had the makings of an amazing wedding from the start. She began with her truly wonderful wedding planner Linnea Tangorra of Tangorra Wedding Planning. She then made the easy selection of the Boston Harbor Hotel |Wharf Room | as her venue of choice. Add John from Blue Guava to masterfully create the floral design, cool lighting from Boston Uplights, the 1967 Lincoln, Super Cool Bride and Groom, and whamm… a wedding photographer’s dream! Oh and don’t forget to notice the Brides Pug, Pirates, and Bobble Heads!

Boston Public Library | Published Wedding | The Knot Boston

admin — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:55:44 +0000

The current issue of The Knot | Fall/Winter 2010 | is featuring a Boston Public Library wedding we shot last year! Cudos to Kristen Weiss of I Thee Wed (Deborah & Jay’s wedding consultant), it was a pleasure working with her as always! The design of the wedding was styled so as to not overtake the grandeur of the venue, but to let it stand out. We loved the fact that the green reading lamps were a key feature at dinner! Also Suzanne B. Lowell Lighting Design came in and added the right touch of light to accent the Library’s magnificient details but not to overpower the look and feel of the rooms.

Venue: The Boston Public Library

And here are a few extra shots I want to show of the Bride and Groom as well as some extra details not seen in the magazine…

Pirates on Boston Harbor | Wedding | Greatest Bridal Party Ever!

admin — Sun, 23 May 2010 03:20:25 +0000

Ok, just kidding..really not the bridal party. But I definitely had one of the most fun brides ever today! When most brides would shy away from such a picture, Andrea saw these sultry buccaneers coming and immediately called them over for a shot. Andrea and Greg were married today and had their reception at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Blog post of their amazing wedding planned by Tangorra Wedding Planning to follow shortly!

Lauren & Dan | Wedding | The Barn at Gibbet Hill

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 17:03:15 +0000

This April I photographed a gorgeous wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill for my neighbor’s daughter, Lauren. Lauren got ready just one house down from mine, and the church, St. Patrick Parish in Watertown, also just down the street. This sure made the first part of my day a wedding photographer’s dream! We teamed up with photographer Helen Makadia, whose new talent I have just recently discovered! Maria and I were so excited to work with her and we hope to see her at many more of our weddings. Thank you Helen for your excellent second shooting!

Lynne & John | Wedding | Boston Harbor Hotel

admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:15:28 +0000

Lynne and John were married this past January and had an elegant winter wedding with many classic details. They tied the knot at Gate of Heaven Church in South Boston and had a vintage | retro themed wedding reception at the Boston Harbor Hotel in the Atlantic Room. The black and white checkerrd dance floor was easily the perfect finishing touch and an amazing compliment to their retro styled entertainment, the Lapis Luna Orchestra. And although it was super cold outside, we managed to fit in 5 minutes outside to get some pictures of the Bride and Groom by the Boston harbor.

I must say that we were so privledged again to work with and photograph just such a stunningly beautiful bride with the most sincere and down to earth personality! The groom was pretty chill to!
