Welcome to my blog! Hi everyone!  This is the place where I post my latest weddings, shoots and travel details.  If you want to see what I am doing, this is the place to be.  
I have a full page photo in the latest issues of Seacoast Weddings Magazine, the cover of their planning guide!

This is a shameless plug for me!  I had to share!

The photo is from Jack and Tiffany's weddings from this past summer!  And of course it was taken on film!JoePrezioso2.jpg JoePrezioso1.jpg

So I have heard lots about the new kodak portra 400 having a extreme latitude of being able to be underexposed two shots and be ok.  So before I ever try that without push processing at a real gig, I wanted to try it myself.  I mean shooting a 400 speed film at 1600 and then not push processing it, that sounded nuts to me, so I had to see it for myself. 

Below is what I got from a night of walking around boston's north end with my nikon F3 and shooting the portra in camera at 1600.

Now for some more test, or fun.  I also like to cross process film.  For those of you new to film, thats when you take slide film, film that is positive and processed E6 and process it as color negative film in standard c-41 chemistry.  I like doing this because of the huge color shift and contrast it gives to images.  

Here is some fuji sensia 100 I shot on my F3 around boston.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to shoot Liz and Craig's wedding at the State Room in Boston, MA.  It was a pretty intense and wonderful wedding.  It had everything from a surfer-rock band to a cupcake tower cake.  Love, laughter, family and the wickedly cool Liz and Craig.

See if you can feel some of the emotion of the day below.  lots of photos!  

All film, kodak Tri-X 400, Portra 400, kodak 500T (at 2000!!!) and Ilford 32000

Check back later this week for Julie and Adams wedding :)

Ok, so its winter and while I am working on many wedding albums I also started on some new gear projects.  Since I am shooting film, I want to explore all the possibilities that it has to offer, but many of the best films are only made for movie reels and come in hundreds of feet and not little film cassettes for your 35mm or 120 camera.  The solution... a Nikon F3, or F2, or F4 with the 250 bulk roll. I have the MZ-4 for a Nikon F3 and it allows me to spool up to thirty-three feet, about seven rolls of film, into one cartridge.  So now I can buy films like Kodak 500t, 250t, the fuji enterna vivid films and so many more.  I mean, if Black Swan was shot in Fuji enterna vivis 500T, I want to shoot on that too!

So before bringing my F3 and the Kodak 500t film to a real wedding, I wanted to try it out.  So I loaded it and just took it out for a night out in Boston.  I walked along the streets and then headed to meet some friends, and the team from French Dressing, at Red sky for some fun.  They were having a lingere trunk show, it was a good time.  

The next day I was in Newport for a Bridal show at Belle Mere and I had some shots left in the spool and decided to try them out in the main ballroom as well as on my assistant Riley.  

I rated the film at 2000 and had it sent to the Brothers Wright in California to process and scan.  They used a lab called Fotokem to process the negs and then they scanned them on their frontier. 

This film is utterly amazing.  The color and the clarity is just mind-blowing.  I have been using the new portra 400 lately, and I have to say I think I like this film a lot better at 2000 then I do the portra at 1600.  Plus this film is tungsten balanced so all the sodium vapor street lights and indoor lighting fixtures look great with it.  All my daylight shots were taken with a 85B filter to compensate for the tungsten balance.  

I can't wait to shoot this at a wedding!  Next I want to try the kodak 250T and Fuji enterna vivid 160.

These images are straight scans, no digital ice, no photoshop.  I wanted to show how they look straight from the scan.
