Rachel + Joe’s Rock the Dress in Lodi, CALodi, CA - A photographer’s dream consists of a dynamic location, beautiful light, and of course, eager and responsive subjects. This session had it all, from Rachel’s choice of cowboy boots to the Farmall tractor to the broken down pick-up truck all the way to that gorgeous California light. With temperatures pushing triple digits all that week we need to give major credit for the resolve of Joe and Rachel who were pretty much game for anything we wanted to do that evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better Rock the Dress session, thanks to you Rachel and Joe!
Cherlene + Greg’s Wedding | 8.15.09Dorchester, MA – Yes, we are still blogging weddings (and portrait sessions) from this summer. Don’t judge us, please… Cherlene and Greg were married on August 15th of last year at the United House of Prayer in Dorchester, MA with their ceremony at Luciano’s on Lake Pearl in Wrentham, MA. Here are some of our favorites images from their wedding day!
Two Photographers – Two PerspectivesLowell, MA – “Are two photographers better than one?” ” Do I need two photographers to get the photos I want from my wedding?” These are questions that are infinitely subjective and can only be answered by the bride and groom once they have all done a little research and have spoken to photographers personally. There are a lot of two photographer teams in the wedding photography industry and there are a lot of solo-photographers as well. Some bring along assistants and 2nd shooters, some work together every weekend. We all have different ways of working so it can’t really be said that either way is better, it’s really up to the bride and groom to invite the photographer(s) they trust to get the job done. The images above are an example of how two photographers can bring two different perspectives on a similar moment. As wedding photographers, Ashley and I always work as a team. We’ve developed a certain routine that allows use to use our strengths to get the best possible images for our clients. For example, during the processional I choose to be up front with the groom capturing his reaction to the bride’s entrance. I then turn down the aisle to focus on the bride’s emotion as she approaches. Ashley, who has been documenting the bride as she gets ready, stays at the church entrance to capture the image of the veil and the architecture of the church. In this particular case, the veil was incredibly important to the bride and it was our job to make sure we got that image. From our perspective, we feel that there are no moments lost when we work together, which is an absolute benefit to our clients. We’d love to know your thoughts on this, so please, comments are welcome. -Rich “Why not wear it twice?”This was Jamie’s Rock the Dress session from this past summer. We’ve blogged a ton of Jamie and her husband Josh this year so you might remember her smile from her engagement session or maybe even her wedding day. It’s always such a pleasure to work with people who love photography and really value the experience we provide. This session had two different locations about 30 minutes apart and we were planning on wrapping up just as the sun was going down. We started a bit late because our GPS decided it would be cool to not find the first location at all and take us on a driving tour of the New Hampshire / Vermont border. Long story short, we found it and it was perfect. Madame Sherri Forest in Chesterfield, NH contains the remnants of a European style chateau built in 1924. This once grand estate was abandoned in the 1950’s and was destroyed by fire in 1962. All that is left is the stone staircase, but that is enough to make a perfect rock the dress session. Our second location was Alyson’s Orchard in Walpole, NH. An absolutely beautiful venue with some incredibly generous owners who invited us to take portraits at their location. Alyson’s property is set upon a hill was undeveloped when it was purchased and turned into an orchard in the 1980’s. The trees on this property are incredible, which is what drew Jamie this spot. You see, Jamie loves portraits with trees and on her wedding day we weren’t able to make it up to Alyson’s for their formal portraits. But it worked out as a great post wedding session because we had time to explore the property without worrying about time restrictions. In the end, it was really an amazing day for all of us and we’re so excited that Jamie and Josh loved all of their images. Rock the dress sessions are definitely a favorite for us as photographers. We feel it really rounds out the wedding photography experience and our clients have a ton of fun.
