I was back in NY 2 weeks ago (yes this is the 2nd post in this weekend of amazing skys), for a wedding of a colleague.  My friend Davitte of DTV Productions brought me in to do stills for this sweet couple.  It was at Le Chateu in South Salem NY, Maira Ortiz did an amazing makeup job (the lovely wife of Davitte).  Le Chateau sits on the side of a hill so we were very elevated and it made our sunset one of the best I have ever seen.   This couple got the very best mother nature has offered in 2009…

Its not often, but someitmes mother nature provides the magic.  And this year so far she hasn’t seen fit to give us a full day of sunshine… well 2 weeknds ago (yes i am a little late posting this) we got 2 amazing days… IN A ROW!  stay tuned for the 2nd post from this gorgeous weekend…

This bride and groom were so cute and so much in love that during our portrait session I asked if they would be willing to come back Monday and jump in the ocean. The bride was super SUPER hesitant, but the groom was all about it. His argument was hey your never going to wear this dress again lets do it. His words not mine, I was able to get him a tux that he could ruin too… NOTE: this has been done under the guise of another name. I choose not to even reference the name as my focus was not about what was happening to the clothes, but the beauty of the couple and the scene.

I try to learn a little bit about the people I work with, without asking for their life story.  Often times I learn the most thru the speeches.  This couple had such a sweet story, high school sweethearts, the go across the country to college to be together… it really made me smile while taking their pictures.

Even on a cloudy cold day in Maine love finds a way to shine thru.  This was a quintessential Maine wedding, a little chapel on a hill, a cozy function hall for the guests to enjoy their party and of course, love.  The room was full of it all day long from the faces of the bride and groom, from their parents and grand parents. It as a joyful day and I was lucky to be a part of it.

As everyone knows I have recently relocated back to New England, New Hampshire to be specific. This is my first wedding in the region (this season) as part of my new life here. It was at the amazing Castle at Crane Estates in Ipswich MA. The bride and groom must have struck a deal with mother nature because at T-10 minutes to ceremony the gray awful skies turned into the most beautiful shade of blue you can imagine. It was truly a miracle…
