Happy Thanksgiving

It's Turkey Day! Perhaps one of my favorite days out of the year because it
involves my great loves in life: Food, Family and Drinks. This Thanksgiving
is a bit more special to me because it marks a new chapter in my life in
a brand new city. Tomorrow morning I will say goodbye to city that I have
called home for more than 8 years now and drive south to start anew. It strange,
sad and exciting all at the same time, and as I write this, I'm getting a bit sadder
so I better move on quickly. But first, I must say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
to everyone who has made this place feel like home to me. My friends who have
been my lifeline while I've been so far away from family...My clients who are the
most amazing people ever and whom many I have come to call friends...
Coworkers and fellow photographer friends who have challenged me to strive
every single day to be a better photographer and to follow my heart...to everyone
who has supported me and believed in me. I will miss you all!

While this won't be my last time posting a Boston wedding as I will still be
working up here quite a bit next season, I wanted to bid farewell to Boston
with a wedding from a month ago. It seemed only appropriate since
Ingrid and Jeremiah were married at Marsh Chapel on Boston University's campus,
which is where I got my start here in Boston as a very unsure college freshman.
The October 25th wedding was small and intimate, followed by a very festive,
but simple celebration at Radius in downtown Boston.

Enjoy the photos and next post will be care of Alexandria, VA!!!














This was one of my favorites from the day. I love the dramatic lighting!

Lauren and Ryan

While working my way through college at Boston University, I took a job waiting
tables at the infamous Boston Beer Works across from Fenway Park. Long shifts,
late nights and many, MANY drunken baseball fans were in my future for the next
2 years. Somehow though, it all was bearable because on my second day, I met
Lauren. At first glance, she seemed friendly enough, a nice and normal, cheerful
girl. I thought to myself, "we could be friends!"

Fast forward through 2 hellish baseball seasons at Beer Works and a few more
years and Lauren and I are still friends. She's been my rock and sanity whenever
I've needed one and more importantly, she's crazy funny. So when Ian and I had
been dating for, oh, about a year, we decided she would be the perfect fit for
HIS friend Ryan. Prior to this, we'd tried setting Ryan up with some of my other friends,
but it just never seemed right. This time, it seemed different with Lauren.

While I've never had impressive matching skills, I am now considering a new
found hobby because I'm so excited to say that these two wonderful people and
amazing friends are now engaged to be married next year in New Hampshire on
September 26, 2009. What's more, I was honored when Lauren let me
take their engagement photos, and I have to admit, I started getting a bit emotional
as I was editing them!

So enough story time - Congratulations to my two very good friends and enjoy the
photos taken at the Blue Hills in MA.




Favorite of the day.











Very sexy.




What a cute couple!

Ellen and Mark

Ellen and Mark were married late yesterday afternoon at the Langham Hotel
in downtown Boston. While I am going to do a full post on their wedding,
I HAD to share a few select favorites that I picked out late last night when
I got home from the wedding - I was so excited to edit their photos that I couldn't wait!


More to come, but in the meantime, these are for Mark and Ellen who I know
are going to have an amazing adventure in Thailand for the next two weeks!
Congratulations you two! I am so incredibly thrilled and honored to have spent
yesterday with both of you - you are remarkable individuals.



Ellen is simply breathtaking - there are no other words to describe it.

Oh Boy

So I have been uber neglectful of my blog for some time now...it is awful.
At least I can say that the reason is a good one - I've been very busy!!!
I'd forgotten how exhausting moving can be, both physically and
emotionally. In the end it will be all worth it and I cannot wait.


I have so many weddings and portrait session I still want to share on my blog
so over the course of the next few weeks I am going to try to work my way through everything.
Hopefully I will get it all posted, but if for any reason I miss someone,
my apologies in advance!

This fall has been very busy with engagement sessions so I wanted to share
one with you today. Mark and Ellen are actually getting married on
Saturday (two days!) in downtown Boston. I cannot wait for their wedding
because I LOVE photographing this couple. They have a lot of great energy and
are extremely romantic with one another. I am very much looking forward to their
wedding this weekend so make sure to check back soon for pics from the big day.

Enjoy!

(Pssst...don't forget that holiday ordering deadline is December 8th!)




How cute are they?







GORGEOUS Sunset...probably one of the best I've seen all fall.
