The New Album

So about a month ago I got in my new album sample and have been meaning forever to post some pictures of it (because I am in LOVE with it!) I was originally scheduled for engagement sessions all weekend but alas, the weather did not cooperate...

...which left me with time to finally shoot the album! Bonus??? I just got a new lens! Nikon 28-70 f/2.8 - it's a pretty lens.

However, my album is even prettier.





This is the Perspex Cover. It is metallic print permanently mounted to a Plexiglas panel. Very Cool.




And it has cool features like Gatefolds and Wingflaps


Solid Craftsmenship.


Here's a cool idea for an alternative to guest books.

The below is a custom item I made for a client of mine to be used at their wedding for guests to sign. It is an 8x10 handmade folio with (6) 5x7 prints surrounded by white matting. The cover is Japanese Silk Fabric with an accent silk ribbon. The cool thing about these folios is that they fold nicely into a book for storage and transport and look great when unfolded and out on display.

Just an idea to share for all the brides out there!

Christie and Mike

It has been a busy week and I have a lot I want to share, but it will have to wait...

In the meantime, I wanted to share a few quick favorites from Christie's and Mike's Wedding yesterday. I am really excited to blog about the whole wedding in a few days and share a lot more photos, but for now, this will have to do.

Christie and Mike, you two are just such a special and unique couple and I am so happy I got the opportunity to work with you. Enjoy your honeymoon in Hawaii!!!!

A tiny vistor

So yesterday the cutest, most unexpected surprise happened. I found a baby duck!!! He was all alone, no momma duck anywhere to be seen in the middle of an concrete office complex. We hung out this morning and I am now on my way off to the New England Wildlife Preservation to help get him back into the wild.

Meet my new friend. I shall call him Avery.

Hotness

Weather and Photo-wise that is...

To state the obvious, it is HOT here in New England (and I don't have AC) but I will survive. And really, I can't complain because I'll take this any day over 10 degrees with snow and freezing ice.

Luckily a few weekends ago when I met with Suzanne and Jay for their engagement session, it was not quite as "sweaty" as it has been lately. Rather it was a perfect Cape evening with a GORGEOUS sunset (and did I mention a hot couple?!?) It took me half way through the session before I look up from my camera and exclaimed to Suzanne "I know who you remind me of! Charlotte from Sex and the City!" (yes, that show is still a guilty pleasure of mine)

We had fun playing in the sand and water, although I think Suzanne had it right when she decided that Jay would go in the water and she would piggy-back it with him :)

Thanks so much for driving all the way from New Jersey to play on the
Cape with me you two! I can't wait for July!

The Inn by the Sea

Rebecca and Chris were married at one of the most beautiful locations I've ever been to. Thanks to both of them for being so generous, I got the opportunity prior to the wedding to drive up to York, Maine and actually stay at Viewpoint Inn for an evening. It was so breathtaking just as it was, I knew that the wedding was going to be amazingly beautiful from everything Rebecca had described she was planning on doing.

Well, it definitely lived up to it's expectation. The lighthouse was the perfect backdrop for the ceremony and when you walked into the Mediterranean-inspired reception, you felt like you had been transported into a different country for the evening...


















I love this shot from the ceremony - the sunlight hit the bride perfectly!



a tear...

followed by many smiles...





Check out this budding little photographer!


and this guy too...I love pictures of people with cameras at weddings.


Cocktail hour came complete with a magician!

And Face Painting...

The Kids got a total kick out of it! Remember the last time you were this excited/amazed about something???

...and from outdoor ocean setting, step into the tent and welcome to Istanbul (that was the theme of the wedding reception as it was where Chris proposed)








So much attention to detail was paid. They even had an area set up as Cigar Lounge with couches and pillows.




yummy light :)




Thank you so much Rebecca and Chris for letting me share in your amazing and unique wedding! I can't wait to go back to Viewpoint sometime soon.
