Blue Hill Country Club

Country Clubs, there are a million and one, and the only time I get to photograph at them is when the family of the couple getting married are members. It's a shame really, because I loved the simplicity and elegance the Blue Hill Country Club has to offer. Just so well done, calm, and trusting. It was nice to have creative freedom by the staff.

This couple was so laid back, I mean soooo laid back that my memory of the day just flows through it. Everything took place there, from getting ready to the party and BHCC had so many rooms and locations and views we were never with out a new space to be in. The closeness of the families was also something to keep me busy- it's just so great to see a group of people with history and celebrating it. Check out the Dad singing to the bride and the rest of the family doing back up. SO GREAT

Thank you A and C...and Mom and Dad too.

Sunglasses required! Amazing bright color at Boston Harbor Hotel!

As mentioned in the previous post, Boston has a ton of views to offer...old world charm, new architecture, the Harbor...really I can go on and on. It offers a plethora of backdrops options for every couple to choose from. Each wedding has a completely different feel and for that, I approach every with a fresh perspective and ready for the bride, groom and wedding party to help shape the images and take the spaces chosen as another personality to shape the day.

This wedding took place at The Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf. What a spectacular day, perfect weather and the colors the couple chose popped right out of the the images! We began at the brides mom and dad's house, moved on to a family Parish and then straight to the Harbor and took advantage of the water and the architecture and the results are stunning-not to mention fun and relaxed. We of course pre-planned the choice locations(since there are 2 million options), and then let the day and the light guide us. Oh...the night time light and color! so gorgeous!

Thank you B and B, I appreciate having the opportunity to work with you and your family and can't wait to feature your images in the albums!

A little bit of everything.

Boston, what doesn't it offer? It has great brownstones, beautiful churches, and if you can get there some really great skyline views.

On this day, we wanted a little bit of everything. We started on Marlborough St, moved on to Brookline, and ended up a place with a view of Boston. The couple also wanted to be sure to capture both the elegance and the party shots, since all were very important. We got it all.

One challenge being in the city or even around the city is traffic, parked cars on the perfect street, highways and unattractive buildings in the background that we want to work around. My solution to that... make the pictures amazing so you don't notice them, and accept that it is all a part of an urban setting and work WITH it. If you can do that, it's cake. This couple knew what an urban wedding would bring, and went with it.

Thank you J and S!

Practice really does make perfect!

One of the greatest things about engagement photo shoots is the trust and comfort created between the photographer and the couple. (See earlier post for engagement images) This comfort allows the wedding day to be so smooth from a photo perspective. It is almost as if we can anticipate each others moves, and we are able to just have fun. Although engagement sessions are not required, I do recommend them- especially if you are uncomfortable in front of the camera.

This couple was all about fun, color and atmosphere. (again see engagement post) They were happy, relaxed yet excited, and enjoyed every single moment of the day. Oh and the dancing!

Thanks N and J
