Ok here we are at part two! Part 1’s images are now on FaceBook too. I tagged Candi and Tj, but if you appear in an image feel free to tag yourself!

So where was I rambling on… Oh yes! the party! I mean what goes better with an emotionally charged wedding ceremony between two loving people, a ROCKIN’ PARTY. So after Candi and Tj exchanged rings,

they had some fun. First they had a beautiful first dance…

Then they danced with their parents. Its a really wonderful tradition that honors where they came from. Candi and her dad did a sort of jitterbug which was lively and up beat. Tj and his mom did a more traditional dance during which his mom spent the bulk of it in tears, it got me chocked up once or twice.

After the dancing we played a game. Now you ask what kinds of games do we play at weddings. Well the NEWLYWED game of course! Candi and Tj stood back to back they had a bouquet in one hand and a Red Sox hat in the other. The DJ would ask questions and if they thought the answer was Candi they raised the bouquet and so forth. It was really quite cute and it got EVERYONE laughing. Especially Candi’s mom, the picture below is after a particularly funny question, I believe it was “Who is always right?” Both of them raised the Red Sox hat…

And then we danced, drank, laughed… All of the things you do at a fun party. I’ll shut up now and leave everyone with some more images. If you are waiting to see the entire catalog it will be up when Candi and Tj get back from their trip and have seen the entire thing first. If you want to register on the website feel free, or if you just want to email me I will add you to the email announcing the whole catalog.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I had the privilege of shooting my first New England Bat Mitzvah recently.  It was at Temple Mishkin Tefilla in Newton MA, and it was the niece of Jon Fischer.  Jon is owner of Jon Fischer Photography and well like so many of us long for, he wanted to be a guest!  So thats where I came in, I got to work, Jon got to play…

So now on to the images…  The bat mitzvah girl is gorgeous! goes without saying right?  Well let me say it again in case I didn’t make my point clearly the first time, this bat mitzvah girl is gorgeous, and to boot, sweet as sugar.

Not to leave out the family unit as a whole, they were a pretty sharp dressed bunch…

When it came down to brass tax, this girl was focused and flawless during rehearsal…

Now for the reward, and these kids know… its all about the party!  This party, cool as ice…

As another photographer said the other day, “if i have the greatest job in the world, why do I spend 75% of my time hunched over a computer?” well its because the other 25% of the time is SO MUCH FUN! I don’t have kids, not that time for my family yet… but i got a glimpse of what its like to have a 2 year old the other day.

This little guy is so inquisitive, with that hint of mischief in his eye…
His Nana bought him this outfit, his dad remarked he’s ready for his first day of school!

His mom got this little tux on freecycle.org for a wedding this past summer, they ended up not needing it. So we decided that heck this was the perfect opportunity to use it, its not going to fit much longer…

This is one of my favorites, I feel like this expression sums up the entire shoot. This kid has a bright, bright future…

I met this lovely couple several times before their wedding to chat, to shoot etc. Each time the were both so soft spoken, but so into each other. I was really unsure how they would be on their wedding day… What would the stress of the wedding day do to them? Well to my surprise the pressure and excitement of their day brought out their true personalities! They were so excited, so full of that nervous happy energy it was infectious. From the bride crying as her mom presented her a charm from her grandmother to be worn on her dress; to the rockin’ party complete with a limbo contest! This wedding had it all…

This was a pretty cool wedding.  Clients of mine (who’s wedding I have not shot yet mind you) called me 4 days before this couple was to get married and asked if i was available.  They wanted to give me as a gift to them!  Well needless to say I got the real gift of spending time with them on their wedding day.  This intimate affair took place at Tarbin Gardens in Franklin NH.  This gorgeous out of the way spot is one of those little NH gems.  It was truly my pleasure to spend time with them, get to know them and take some amazing pictures…

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…
