Courtney & Ryan | Wedding | InterContinental Boston | Michele Mottola

Tue. November 9, 2010

I don’t even know where to begin to write about this wedding. Super Fun Extravagance is a good place to start. And the B&G, super chill… to the Max!

I have done many InterContinental Boston Weddings before, but to walk into the room and be utterly stunned by the transformation was an incredible feeling. AJ Rose came in and laid something like 10,000 sqft of new white carpeting (just for the evening of course) as well as a dark wood dance floor. Three unbelievable crystal chandeliers adorned the bar and from what I heard, were hand strung and hung with aircraft wire just to support their weight. Kudos to Suzanne B. Lowell Lighting for this feat and for her stunning lighting work that evening. The furniture, the flowers, the music, etc, not one detail was left looking for success… and you can thank the planner Michele Mottola for this truly whopper of a wedding.

And last but not least, Courtney & Ryan, LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Mateo | 6 Months Whiz By

Wed. September 29, 2010

I know every parent thinks they have the most adorable baby in the world. I know this because I am one of them. But I must admit… when I need to take Mateo’s photo he is a child photographers Dream!!! His smile just beams like a lit up skyscraper each and every time I call on him. And it is not just me, anyone that comes into contact with him and smiles at him gets a Giant smile right back. Hasbro, Fischer Price, Gerber give us a ring :-).

Wedding Style Magazine Outs | Part III | Rafanelli Events

Fri. September 3, 2010

Absolutely Romantic! Absolutely Decadent!!

This tabletop featured in the 2010 Wedding Style Issue just screams Ultra Exclusive, Ultra Romantic Evening!!! The Champagne Bar located at Rhumba at the InterContinental Boston, is hidden discreetly behind sliding mahogany wooden doors. With a “Moulin Rouge” theme already in place, Rafanelli Events transformed an already spectacular room, into a dream dining experience.

Mirrored table surrounded by top shelf champagnes and abundant dessert trays. And the single red rose on the damask patterned chair is just the simplest but most clever touch for this editorial shoot.

Wedding Style Mag OUTS | Part II | Michele Mottola Special Event Consulting

Thu. September 2, 2010

Another one of my favorite tabletops I have photographed!! Designed by the dynamite Michele Mottola, this is another wonderful conception that just exudes uniqueness and lots of good old fashioned imagination. Photographed outside at the InterContinental Boston back lawn, a custom mirrored arbor was built that allowed for handblown glass bulbs to be hung and filled with orchids and lillies above an acrylic table and chairs.

Ok so this was actually one of my most challenging tables I have had to shoot. A reflective glass background, see-through tables and chairs, and a mirrored arbor outside in the city with lots of reflections going on. This one took some patience, almost the whole day actually to get it right. That morning I took a calculated guess that the sunlight would eventually fall just so as to darken the background and shine light on table. And fortunately I was right. And although my blog post title says “Outs” I had to include the chosen image for the magazine as luck was really on my side that day. The 5th photo from the top says it all. The flowers were highlighted just perfectly both on the table and those meticulously hung from above. The chairs were clearly visible as the suns shadow couldn’t have landed any more perfectly in the bacground, and the mirrored arbor stood out just enough.
