Erin and Kevin, Cape Cod Wedding: Someone Exactly Like You

This is going to be a post full of beautiful photos! I am so lucky to have such fun clients to work with! Erin and Kevin's wedding was amazing from start to finish! They got married on the Cape and had their reception at the Coonamessett Inn in Falmouth. What a beautiful venue to photograph! I can tell you that this wedding holds the record for largest wedding party - there were twenty-six people including the flower girls and ring bearer (and not including the bride and groom, or their dog who participated in some photos)! It made for some very large wedding party portraits and also a super crazy reception! Erin and Kevin also had DJ Patrick Lally at the helm and he always gets EVERYONE on the dance floor! Including me.







My second shooter for the day was Julie Moscatel. She had the pleasure of hanging out with the groomsmen before the wedding. Erin sent over this golf club as a present for Kevin. Julie got some great photos of him as he first saw his gift! Some of her other photos are sprinkled through the rest of the post, too!
























I loved photographing these little flower girls! It's not every day they get permission to jump on the bed!


In between the ceremony and the reception, everyone had a few minutes to freshen up and I caught this photos of the bride repinning some of her hair (with the help of her bridesmaid). She just looks so effortlessly gorgeous. She totally reminded me of the actress Blake Lively.
















Erin and Kevin, your wedding was so much fun to photograph! Congratulations!

Boston Children's Photography: Young Child With Dreams

Holiday photos take up a big chunk of my autumn and I hardly ever get to post the majority of the families I photograph. That changes today! I had the pleasure of photographing these two lovely kids last year and was thrilled when I got to photograph them again. We headed out to Larz Anderson Park for our session and it did not disappoint! Considering what a strange fall season we had this year, we lucked out with some awesome weather and blowing leaves! It’s so gorgeous out there. I think those bottom two photos should be huge wall canvases, too! They sort of remind me of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet and the blustery day.

Boston Headshots: You Make Me Sing Like A Guitar Strummin'

The Mister


The Mister is a recovering actor (I say that because although he's not currently acting, I don't think it's something that is ever out of your system) and he recently requested some photos while he still had this awesome full beard. He really is a pensive SOB.

Also, I have decided that for a little while, I will be using just Neil Diamond song lyrics for my posts. They just make me sing.

Verrill Farm: Carry Moonbeams Home in a Jar

For some reason, maybe it was the recent arrival of winter around here, I was thinking about my Verrill Farm photos last night. One of my favorite photos is of Steve Verrill eating the corn - that's apparently how to tell if it's ripe or not. I always approve of the taste testing method! Over the course of this project, I took so many photos at each of the places I visited and so few of them actually ended up in the book. I decided I was going to post the photo with the corn this morning, but then when I went to pull it from my files, I saw all these other photos that I loved that weren't included in Boston Homegrown. For instance, I love the photos of Steve and his wife Joan. Steve always wears a hat while working on the farm, so I thought it would be fun to incorporate it into some of their portraits. Verrill Farm also has an amazing farm stand and I highly recommend taking a trip out for some food! You can obviously buy local produce and even beef, but they also offer prepared foods, sandwiches, and baked goods. Yum! I've definitely been there just for lunch on more than one occasion!













*The song I used for this post doesn't actually have anything to do with the post - it's just a pretty lyric that popped into my head. Although I guess it does reference two farm animals, so it sort of fits!

My and Tony: You're My World, My Heart, My Soul

My and Tony's June wedding was a smorgasbord of family, fun, and food (three of my favorite "f" words). My & Tony are such a great couple; they totally balance each other out. My tends to be a little more reserved and Tony is pretty much an all-out goofball, which you'll see in the photos. Then when they're together, they meet in the middle - perfection. Their ceremony was at the Methuen Memorial Music Hall which turned out to be an AMAZING wedding venue. Not only was the inside of the building gorgeous, but the grounds of the hall were beautiful, too! My and Tony scheduled their day so that we had plenty of time to take advantage of our location and still make it all the way into the city for the reception. This was the first reception I'd photographed at a Chinese restaurant! Chau Chow is right in Dorchester and it's already set up for a party! There was a stage and fun lighting and LOTS and LOTS of food (some of which I didn't recognize and some of which was still in the shape from whence it came). The food was served to the table and everyone just shared. It was a great way to get to know some of the guests!

My and Tony live a bit north of Boston and that's where I started my day - hanging with the bride and her family (she's one of 9 kids, so there were plenty of people in and out).






My super-talented second shooter Allana Taranto hung out with Tony and his groomsmen. Like I said, total goofballs. In addition to allowing themselves to be photographed pants-less, they also played some video games, switched tuxes on each other, and made unscheduled stops on the way to the ceremony!






















My and Tony took photos with each group of guests as they arrived at the reception. Clearly, I'm not going to post them all here, but it was a fun way for me to capture each of the wedding guests!










What a fun night! Something tells me this party wasn't slowing down anytime too soon! My and Tony, congratulations! Maybe I'll even be seeing you guys soon!
