That was probably not funny your thinking...... anyways! 

I helped my awesome friend Erica Ferrone document Kristen and Craig's wedding at the Omni Parker house in boston.  It was a fun wedding.  I present a few of my shots here.

Enjoy!  

The ceremony was held at St. Ignatius near Boston College.  It was a great ceremony.  Everyone left the church to wait outside for the Emily and Greg to exit so that they could blow bubbles at them.  It was rad.

From there we headed to boston college campus to do some shots and then to boston's long wharf for some ocean view images.  Then it was off to the cocktail hour where a little three piece band was playing modern songs with classical instruments.

The reception was detailed to the T with nautical themes.  The seating cards were little wooden boats on a blue table with a giant poster of boston as a backdrop.  Every seat had a origami swan.  You had to see it.

As the sun set and the speeches and toast started, the reception was in full swing.  Emily and Greg enjoyed the evening just like a movie wedding.  There was so much magic and love in the air.  I did pull them away for a few moments to get some city @ night shots and then it was back to the reception.  

I love it.

On a side note, I shot more film at this wedding then I have at any wedding in many years.  16 rolls on my xpan, horizon perfekt and my assistant pentax 645.  

This shoot here was shot in my back yard with my friend Giana.  The makeup was by Alice Upton.  This shoot was film and digital shoot.  The film was fujipress 800, very grainy and contrast, but I wanted that.

But as always, me being who I am, I had to take a few photos.  The photos from this past weekend aren't back from the lab yet, but I do have a few others here from some various days this summer.  

Everything below was shot on film.

Above, one of my favorite summer drinks.  Izzies.  (shot on kodak ektar 100) 

A flag in my front garden.

Some beautiful flowers I saw while I was in Cape Cod for the day. 

Baxter's seafood restaurant in Hyanis.  I had fried everything. mmmm

My little cousin Joey having fun at Baxter's.  Right after I took this photo, a drunk man fell right into the water.  Yea, crazy.  I know!

And I will end this post with a beautiful shot of my best friend!  Rebecca! 

Nick's family and friends were from Boston and New York while Mito's family came in from Japan.  Thats a long flight!  

I met up with them as the were getting ready at the commons center.  They wanted to do their photos before the ceremony, but I still wanted them to have a intimate first meeting so I had Mito wait on the stairway by herself and had Nick come to her from behind.  It was great, they were so full of joy to see each other. 

From there we headed to Sholan farms to take some photos in the fields and orchards there.  Then it was back to the church and back to the reception.  Mito and Nick did have a great band play, but I can't remember their name right now, I will have to update this post later or someone can list the band's name in the comment section below. 

For you camera nerds out there (like me).  The panoramics here were shot on my xpan on 160 and 400 VC kodak film.  The 645 shots were shot on a pentax 645 on fuji 400nph pushed to 800.  I am not super happy with the color of that film so I think I am just gonna get some 120 rolls of more portra film for next week.  I will say that shooting Mito with the Pentax 645 was so fun. 

Enjoy a sneak peak there!

When I walked into the room to photograph Brian getting ready I was set back.  I was like, Hey I know you!  I actually went to middle school with Brian and I do believe we wrestled during gym class once or twice, but that was so long ago!

Anyway, the ceremony was held as the sun began is setting on the lawn at the country club.  The light rays spilling over through the trees created a awesome ambiance for the marriage.

From there we headed downtown to do some photos on main street before heading back to the reception where the band Rare Form was ready to kick it up.

So this was a awesome wedding.  Andy and Tiffany are kinda like me, they are into star wars and all the crazy movies I am.  So I totally could relate to them pretty much all day.  With that said, they had a crazy wedding.

We started the day off photographing Tiffany as she got dressed at her mom's house in Melrose before heading over to the beach in Winthrop for the ceremony.  Now this was a site to see.  The beach was covered by beach goers, wind surfers and children.  As Tiffany stepped out of her limo, all the kids on the beach climbed up onto the breakwater to view her.  The beach just went quiet.  The ceremony took place and everyone on the entire beach had a front row view, even the guy in the wind surfer riding back and fourth as well as all the people in the 747's taking off from logan and flying over us.

As the ceremony ended and we started taking some portraits, I saw a vintage 1965 Thunderbird that a friend of the brides family had taken to the wedding.  Thats all I needed to see.  Within a few moments I achieved permission for Andy and Tiffany to take it for a ride while I sat on the trunk to get some incredible shots.

Here they are! 

When the film arrived last week, I was amazed.  In true HD on my screen here the film looks incredible.  I am trying to get it onto bluray as I type this, but for now everyone can see the magic of super 8mm here online.

Enjoy!  I can't wait to shoot more at your wedding!

The band beetlejuice performed for everyone there and the wedding event planner was Carrie Scott of Longwood events.  Looks like she and Eric and Erin put together one awesome wedding.

One of our first stops was this little bar by the state house, the 21st Amendment.  I had never been there, but quickly so how much Eric and Erin liked beer and we had some fun in the tiny poorly lit bar.

Rachel and Seith were married at the Renaissance Golf Course in Haverhill, Mass this past Saturday.  Its a brand spanking new country club.  So new you can smell the paint drying, just kidding.

It was a beautiful day and Rachel and Seith held their ceremony outside.  We actually set up for the two of them to meet before the ceremony so that they could do photos before the wedding and enjoy cocktail hour.  We had Rachel waiting at the top of a stairway and had Seith come up from behind her.  They both shed a few tears there, it was true love.

Then the wedding.....

The day started with me meeting up with Elyse and her bridesmaids over at the MAC counter at Macey's where they were getting their makeup down.  Now I have never shot at a MAC location, but it was cool and the artist there did a great job.  I was very impressed.

From there it was off to the Willowdale Estate in Topsfield for the ceremony and reception.  Elyse and Matt both dressed into their wedding attire in the top floor rooms there.  It was hot out, I can't lie.  This had to be one of the hottest weddings weather wise I have ever shot, but everyone remained totally cool through the day and when the dancing started it was a straight out party.

Enjoy.... 

Film: kodak 400vc pushed to 1600 and 160vc sho.

Soundia and Konah are both from Africa and both have traveled the work, going to schools in Europe, the US and all over, but they both fell in love with Rhode Island and each other.

They both knew each other for many years and did not fall in love until they happened to have a long phone call with each other at a crossroads in their life.

The ceremony was outside at the town gazebo, and the reception was at the Village Inn.  We took photos down at the rocks on the beach and then headed back to the inn for the reception.  Both Soundia and Konah's families spoke and toasted to the couple.  So many beautiful things were said, as were some funny things that everyone was totally smiling.  

Here's some of the day!

(For your camera buff's, the panoramic here are on kodak 160VC on my Lomo)
