Chris Proposes to Denise

I had the special honor of photographing a wedding proposal on Saturday the 10th in the Boston Public Gardens. Normally I get involved after the wedding date, location, dress, yada yada has all been figured out but this time I knew more about the wedding then the potential Bride. :)

Chris had planned to propose at the location of their first date which was the dock at the Swan Boats in Public Garden. He hired myself and EdmondVideo to capture the entire event for posterity. But being that this was a public place there were a number of issues to consider with the most pressing being crowd control. What if sunbathers took over the dock or the local photo club was capturing duck pictures? Chris had a planned for that possibility too. He enlisted the assistance of a friend who ran interference. Every time someone went to step on the dock Mike came out of nowhere and shooed them away. Plus the homemade 'Dock is closed' signs printed in 5 different languages helped. :)

Lots of people noticed what was going on at the dock and stopped to watch and even applauded! It was really very special and I am glad to have been a small part of it.

Enjoy the pictures!

This is Frank Denise and Chris' dog. They wouldn't have a special moment like this without him.

Sam's Visit

Here's a bunch of personal work that has been dying to be let out for months now. Been wanting to play with these images, especially the black & white's at the bottom of this post, for a while but never found the time. Now I feel like the deck has cleared a bit and I can share these with you.

These were captured back in June when Amy's girlfriend Samantha and her son Max paid us a visit from Johannesburg, SA. We shared a nice afternoon of romping around Riverside Park in our bathing suits! Enjoy.

Wedding of Jessica & Daniel

Well here are some over-due images! :) Had a great time photographing Jessica & Daniel at the end of August and its pretty amazing that I've started on the album design before actually posting to the blog! Where does the time go?

It was an incredibly raining day at Christina's in Foxboro, MA and the service which was planned for outside had to be moved inside. But our lovely Bride & Groom took everything in stride and everyone had a great time. Looking forward to posting the album design!

Jessica & Daniel's Engagement Session

Looking forward to the wedding of Jessica & Daniel coming up at the end of August. Was lucky enough to spend a little time with them on Monday taking a few pictures and alerting them to how much of a goof ball I can be. :) I love doing engagement shoots because it gives us an opportunity to work together and become more comfortable with each other. The wedding day happens fast and you need to be able to relax around your photographer as he/she will be chasing you around the entire day. These sessions go a long way toward building that comfort. Enjoy a few of our pictures!

Aguirre Family Portrait Session

Had a great time with Irina, Pascal and the entire family on the beach in Hyannis. Its not often I get to work out on the Cape so this was a special treat for me.

It was a bit windy and we camped out on a very nice couples beach front for an hour or so while we had our session. A lovely, lovely time.

Enjoy!
