Today I had the pleasure of visiting with my good friend and college alum Julie and her fiancée Adam. I went to Salem State College and was part of the honors department for four years with Julie, so we shared many classes and adventures.
I was so happy when Julie told me she was getting married on facebook a few months ago and so today we finally go to do some engagement shoots. Julie has been inviting me to parties for a while now and everyone always seems to land on a day I have a wedding or a family commitment so it was good to hang out with her and Adam today and learn about them.
We started the shoot at Silver lake where Adam proposed to them and then went off to the Rt. 38 Cafe for some warmer shots. I think it was 25 degrees out and my hands were getting numb.
I wanted to post these shots today since I am heading to the Digital Wedding Forum Convention in Nashville tomorrow and won't be back for a week! EEEK! So here is some of the fun from today and the meals we had!
See if you can guess what each of us had in the comments!

Last night I had a meeting with one of my 2010 couples, Michael and Vaila, for their wedding at Bel Mar in Newport. We met at the state room to go over their day and talk about cool ideas and their engagement shoot. It was great to meet them and I think their wedding is going to be a absolute awesome time with all the work they are putting into it.
They want to do a polaroid guest book and so I searched the web and I think this will be a great idea for the wedding. Its just getting polaroid film that can be an issue. I really wish I had a polaroid camera myself sometimes.
Anyway, after the meeting I met up with my brother's fiance Jesse and my friend Rebecca and we headed to the new Ames hotel on state street. Now we almost waked right by this place, but when I stopped to ask someone where it was he said,"you here," well the place has no sign so you kinda just gotta know!
Once inside it was like being in something you see only on TV like CSI or one of those cool Vegas hotels. So we headed to the bar and ordered. I was told earlier that I had to try this late night hamburger and so I did.
The waiter brought it over to the table and I took a bite. Never, ever have I had a hamburger taste like this. It melted in my mouth and was full of flavor. It was like heaven. All I know is I will be back. A $15 hamburger that is perfect.
I also think this hotel would be perfect for a cool engagement shoot or fashion shoot. Can't wait to see what the new year will bring!

I went to a wedding at Bel Mar two years ago, and it is a beautiful site! Pictures overlooking the water and the Hope Bridge at sunset are stunning!

Joseph,
An easy workaround for your client that wanted the Polaroid guestbook is to take the photos and then use a little program called Poladroid (www.poladroid.net) and it will create Polaroid photos for you with the look and feel as if you did it with the actual thing. Take a look at it, at the very least you'll enjoy the 'fire and forget' aspect of it.

So 2010 is finally here and I wanted to say happy new year to everyone! May this year be incredible, fun, safe and full of love for everyone.
I also wanted to continue in the tradition of some of my last post of showing some of my favorite reception moments. I have tried to go through all my work for this year but ran out of time and realized I had to get something up, so here is a look. Its not all of them, but its a good feel I think.
Cheers!

Wow. Jamie and Sara, probably one of the most romantic couples I have ever met. They met in 2005 and their romance was just like the film Love Actually!
Sarah went over to study in England and ended up meeting Jamie at a party during her first week there. When it was time for her to come home for the holidays, Jamie missed her so much that he hopped onto a plane to get to boston to see her. He arrived and was here to spend new year's eve with her. So started their love story.
Just about five years later, this past weekend they were married at the Harborside Hyatt in East Boston. It was a international wedding with everyone either from England or the US and it made for an interesting and fun filled day.
Jamie and Sara decided to see each other before the ceremony so that we could get some photos with the sun still up, as the ceremony would start at sunset. It was super cold outside and I had on gloves and an overcoat, but Sara and Jamie braved the cold as did their wedding party and guest to get some rocking images with the Boston skyline.
The reception was combination of tears of joy from many speeches and stories and lots of getting down to rock and club beats like lady gaga, lol.
We were hoping for it to snow before the end of the night, but alas the snow did not start till much later and we were not able to make snow angels. In the end it was a wedding I won't soon forget :)

Along with every wedding comes the time to take kick ass rocking portraits of my couples. These are sometimes fun and frivolous and other times more rock and high fashion. Either way its my favorite time of the wedding as I get to have fun and explore new ideas.
