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 know I don't show a lot of family or group photos on my blog, as I feel there are so many more exciting shots to show, but with that said I still believe family and bridal party shots are needed and I take care to make sure they are a record of who was with you at you wedding in a clean and elegant shot.

Here is a video of me putting together a bridal party shot from Mike and Jen's wedding last weekend.  When we arrived back at the hotel the sun had all ready set, so we had to do the large group shots inside, shuffling people to and from the cocktail hour.  

I set up two lights and bounced them to the hotel ceiling.

Like every sunday morning, I wake up, pour a big glass of coffee with lots of sugar (hehe) and then sit down and read my Boston Sunday Globe and sometimes the weekend edition of the wallstreet journal. 

This is my time to catch up with the world, relax and just be me.  This Sunday's art section had a story about Richard Avedon's photos of JFK and Jackie and their family.  I looked at these photos and was just wowed by them.  I loved them.  The classic pose and great structure of the shots just made me think.  So then I found myself looking up JFK's wedding in 1953 in Newport, and I found some great shots by Lisa Larsen on Time/life's website. I think their wedding has a timeless look and is a great source of inspiration for modern weddings that want that newport classic vintage look, what also amazes me is the photojournalistic approach at their wedding, when so many other weddings at the time were still just line them up and shoot em, as we say, grip and grins. 

Well with the rain today, and the ash in europe, I hope you find these photos inspirational.

Beantown Bride just wrote a cool story about inspiration for your wedding via Alice in Wonderland.  I think this is so cool and would love to shoot some weddings inspired by that classic story, or maybe an engagement shoot.  kiera_01.jpg

All the colors, cupcakes and clothing would totally work for a funky vintage wedding,  anyone want to wear a blue wedding gown?  tiffany.jpg

Heidi, my assistant for many years was married this summer and I shot her wedding as a gift to her.  She just wrote this about me on her blog and I am so happy she loved her wedding photos, here is her story below and on Heidi's blog!

I hope you have all been enjoying the last few posts I have written about some of the fantastic wedding vendors I used for my wedding. This is the final post, and is dedicated to my amazingly talented wedding photographer.

As a photographer, pictures are obviously ridiculously important to me. And wedding pictures even more so. I wanted someone that would capture the entire day from the big moments, to the tiny details, and everything in between. I wanted to work with someone who would be fun, have lots of energy, and be a photo wiz! And I knew just who I was going to call for the job...Joseph Prezioso!

Now for those of you who don't know, Joseph is one of the reasons I am in the wedding photography business. He hired me the summer after my graduation from SCAD, as an assistant/second shooter. We have photographed over 100 weddings together, and he has been a pleasure to work with, as well as a great friend. I have learned so much about photography, weddings, and professionalism from him. And, I was so happy when he told me he would be honored to photograph my big day.

As expected, Joseph captured our day like no one else can! Tim and I love looking at our wedding pictures. We love seeing our friends and family, all the smiles, the happy tears, and great moments. Each photo tells the story of our day, and they will be cherished forever. We can't thank Joseph enough, for doing such an amazing job, and being a fantastic photographer. Thank you Joseph! Thank you!

Many people today have never shot film and have only experienced shooting digital.  I shot film for years, learned photography on film and started my career with film, so its only fair I share film with the world.

I went skiing last week in New Hampshire with my cousin Vinny and I brought my camera up on one of the runs we made.  It was super cold out and snowy.   Powder covered the mountain and the skiing was glorious.  It was some of the best skiing I have expierenced in a long time, It was also my first time back on the slope in about 2 years.  

The first few runs I was a little rusty on, but my the end of the day I hit the terrain park and some jumps.  I can't wait to get back on the slopes.

Below here is one of the joys I really miss with film, contact sheets!
