wedding planning


One can never plan a wedding day too early I say. Getting ready pictures are one of my favorite aspects of wedding photography. It's the anticipation, excitement and candidness of the moments leading up to the big moment, the ceremony. The "leading-up moments" are fun! The ceremony and party are like an encapsulation of planning moments.

And planning a wedding event is about making choices. Typically a wedding photographer is booked about 8 months in advance of the wedding day. This figure is by survey. I say a year in advance is better, or more. My suggestion is to embrace the "planning moments" and enjoy the expectation and excitement to come - just like I like to embrace the "getting-ready moments" of the wedding day. Good luck in your wedding planning!

Boston Engagement



Photographing in Boston's North End is one of my favorite locations. The reason is obvious. It has character and endless possibilities. After photographing one of my North End weddings I realized this. The streets are alive, the alleys allow for fun, and the nearby Boston Harbor adds contrast and space. Kristin and Ralph have fantastic chemistry and their wedding day is soon approaching. So this past week we took to the streets of the North End to capture some fun engagement pictures. You always have to be ready for what comes, and as soon as I saw the hopscotch grid in the playground I knew we needed to explore. It makes for one of my favorite series of pictures and I've included a couple here. Enjoy and happy wedding planning!

Boston wedding photographer



A Boston wedding can be truly special. Especially if you include some of the time honored landmarks of Boston throughout your wedding day. Starting off with hair and makeup on Newbury Street, a ceremony at the Old South Church, pictures in the Boston Public Garden and a reception at the Lenox Hotel. All centrally located within walking distance around Copley Square. It's quintessential Boston and one of the reasons I love to be a Boston wedding photographer!

I love to photograph wedding days. Here's some recent comments:

"I just wanted to thank you for taking pictures on our wedding day. We LOVED working with you and the pictures far surpassed any expectations that we had."

"THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking such wonderful photographs for our son's wedding. Also your choice of location after the ceremony was absolutely perfect. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking such very artistic and beautiful photographs for our son's wedding."

As I gear up for another wedding season I look forward to more wonderful moments...
