Hammond Castle Wedding on the BBC World News...

Hammond Castle Wedding, BBC

Yes, you read that correctly, the BBC News! Click on the image to check it out!

Gloucester, MA – One of our most interesting weddings of 2010 was Danielle and Brayton’s, held at the Hammond Castle in Gloucester, MA. Both Danielle and Brayton wanted to incorporate their Celtic heritage so what better place to get married than in a castle, right?! Here’s the link to the Blog Post from last Summer if you’d like to check out a bit more of their day.

We were very pleasantly surprised on this past Friday night when we saw that Danielle had posted this link to the BBC World News on our Facebook wall. Pretty cool!

This very image also got some play on Off Beat Bride a few months ago as well. Hmm, we should probably put this image into our portfolio huh?

As photographers we are so happy that we can attract clients that love photography as much as we do and that are motivated to share their excitement with the rest of the world. Big thanks to Danielle + Brayton!

Mid-Winter Boston Common Engagement Session

Boston, MA – So our whole plan was to go skating at the frog pond to capture some candid moments and have Mark and Mandy all warmed up for some portraits. Well, what we didn’t anticipate was that it was one of the coldest days in January and a 45 minute wait just to get on the ice… YIKES! So, as you can imagine, without a proper warm up in single degree weather our super couple was a bit cold for the shoot, but they braved through it and we ended up getting some great stuff. Just looking at the images you wouldn’t think it was well below freezing out. Even though we didn’t get a whole engagement session in that day, we all had fun and certainly had something to laugh about in the future. And of course, Mark got to wear his Boston Bruins sweater for some pictures, which made his day!

Engagement sessions are such a good bonding experience between a couple and their photographers. We had  already had the opportunity to get to know Mark and Mandy a bit from photographing a wedding in October where they were both in the wedding party; but it was great to have the 2 on 2 time build that relationship up a bit. Because although we are in the business of photography, we’re also in the business of making people smile and that’s key to our photography. And for us, watching young people in love, laughing, braving the elements for the sake of pictures is really inspiring to us.

A Beautiful November Wedding

Haverhill, MA – On a gorgeous November day, Shiva and Andrew were married at the Holy Apostles Church with the reception being held at the Merrimack Valley Golf Club in Methuen, MA. And in case you missed the last one, we really love Greek weddings. As wedding photographers, we are usually somewhat restricted when photographing in a church… not a Greek Orthodox wedding! It is pretty incredible how certain cultures really embrace the power of photography. We’re invited right up to the alter and allowed to get as close as we can, without disrupting the sanctity of the ceremony of course. This makes for great opportunities for story telling.

As far the bride and groom, it’s hard to imagine two people more perfect for each other. This job brings us in such close proximity to true love… it’s not hard to be continually inspired by it.

Congratulations to Shiva and Andrew!

Super Terrific Happy Fun Booth

Andover, MA - We’re still working on a clever name for our photo booth set up… Anyway, this was done at the Andover Country Club in one of their bridal salons. Guests and wedding party love the opportunity for pictures. It seems like everyone is camera shy until they have a chance to be silly, surrounded by friends and family. Check out a glimpse at the rest of the wedding HERE.
