North Shore Wedding Photography

What a fantastic wedding this was.  When the bride emailed me at the end of August about her September wedding I naturally assumed it was for 2013.  Eventually I realized that she meant TWO WEEKS later!!  I had 4 family sessions scheduled that day.  I only had to move one of them to make it work and work it did!

I arrived at the bride and groom's house while she was getting ready.

I had plenty of time to capture the beautiful details.

She brought me down to her basement to help me bring up the flowers that she made herself.  It totally brought me back to 2001 when I made my own flowers in my basement.  I was even more amazed when I saw that the flowers were the exact same color as mine and our bridal bouquets were pretty much identical!

Once she was ready we went in her backyard to take some shots before heading to the ceremony.

The wedding party consisted of the grooms daughter and two sons.

When I got to Gannon Golf Course I found the groom and his boys ready and waiting for the bride.

Maybe the groom wasn't so patiently waiting?  HAHA.

Eventually she made her way with her dad.

All of the guests observed from the deck of the clubhouse.  It was so unique and nice.

After the ceremony we were taken out by golf cart to a tee box that has a beautiful view of the Boston skyline which is beautiful to photograph alone...

but to get the view and the subjects both exposed correctly (while making it look good) is a bit tricky.

Back at the clubhouse there were lots of beautiful homemade items

and more children than I've ever seen at a wedding.  It was awesome!

As usual the speeches were emotional.  I love how ever couple has their story and you learn so much from the speeches.

By the time I left this wedding I felt like an old family friend and there is nothing better than that!

Brooksby Farm Mini Sessions

This September day was shaping up to be a full one.  Three mini sessions followed by a full session at someones house.  Two weeks before this I got a phone call from a bride asking if I had this date available to photograph her wedding!  I had to move one mini but I was able to make it happen.  So here are the two mini sessions from the day...


This was the first time I met this family for photos.  Everyone did a great job.  It turns out Mom was going to be a bridesmaid in a wedding I was shooting in November!  Such a small world!

I met these handsome young men last year for an indoor session at the Sheraton in Wakefield.  I was glad to see them again!
