Emily and David will be getting married in the summer of 2020 – today we practiced taking photos with their engagement session. They needed no practice though, they were naturals. It was great getting to know them better. I look forward to working with them again next summer.

the dailypic 3495 yr10 208 The Budney Family
I kicked off my 2019 weddings with Kathyrn, Brian, their beautiful daughter and everyone who helped celebrate them. An intimate ceremony at the Nuovo restaurant in Worcester. The rain did not stop the day, a killer monogrammed suit, a fun first look, babies, family and friends and even a bride and groom of mine from six years back with their new family too (Sister of the Bride). Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Budney, it was a joy being part of your day.

the dailypic 3488 yr10 201 Dear Tim
Twenty-four years ago I shot my first wedding, Fall 1995… I remember the day vividly when I got home I told my (future) wife I would never do that again. If I have shot your wedding, there is a good chance I have shared some of the stories I have about that day with you, not to give too much away but I have tended to repeat some of the things I share with brides and grooms to help break the ice. I thought of that wedding on Monday when I was photographing the Boston Marathon, some of the formals were shot at the Weston Nurseries where I was for the runners. I learned so much that day, and I learn more each wedding I have shot since.
Other than that first one (they are not married anymore – at least to each other and I think it is safe to say that is a good thing) I have enjoyed everyone I have been part of. I truly love the job, weddings are a puzzle of logic, and I love both logic and puzzles. You know what the picture should look like at the end, and you go in with a well thought out plan, but at any time the plan can change, and you can panic or adjust. Adjusting is my specialty and I love getting the whole picture at the end of the puzzle no matter the path that leads us there.
The photographer is with the Bride and Groom more than anyone on a wedding day, even more than the Bride and the Groom. I am sometimes one of the first to see the Bride in her dress, that moment when she instantly goes from “I am getting married today” to “I AM GETTING MARRIED TODAY.” I am sometimes the last person the groom speaks to as a single man, standing with him off to the side with everyone he knows is waiting on him and I just remind him to breathe, and I get a genuine thank you because he did forget.
So when I get an email, text or in the case of Chelsea and Dan a lovely card, it means so much. They were one of my last 2018 weddings, a beautiful Milford Church Wedding with photos in Hopedale. The card has been hanging in the studio, and between seeing it every day and the memory from Monday at the Marathon, I figured I would share. I hope they do not mind, I share their words below. I can pay for Wedding services to find me couples, join referral groups, pay Facebook to share my photos, even do wedding shows – none of them will come close to the words of a Bride and Groom.
If you would like to see some more of my wedding work or even more words from Brides and Grooms, you can click here. From there you can even drop me a note if you or someone you know might be looking for a photographer. I know a guy.

A little rain never gets in the way of a wedding, I will just use it as a prop and light it up. Congratulations Heather and Larry. Thank you for letting me be part of your incredible, unique, Alice in Wonderland filled day.

the dailypic 3285 yr9 363 Nicole & Andrew
Tonight I had the honor of photographing Nicole and Andrews wedding. Barn weddings are my favorite and Blissful Meadows Country Club in Uxbridge, MA is a perfect place for one. For a day that started with down pouring rain and stayed cloudy most the day, it was amazing as the sun came out as the couple exchanged rings. I wish them both nothing but happiness, and it was a privilege to be part of their day. Here is just a small sample of the photos and fun we had.

the dailypic 3244 yr9 322 Begin Party of Two
Erin and Taylor got married today, and I got to be part of it. When Erin and Taylor came to my studio a couple of months ago to talk about their wedding, they told me “we all love photos, and we will have fun, so will you.” It was such a vast understatement. There was not one person there who did not want to have a photo taken, fun is ALL they had and so did I. I have done my share of weddings, the weather is a huge part of the day, so today’s weather caused some concern. It poured, we had to adjust the first look, the formals, we made it work, then 10 minutes before the couple had to make the call on inside or outside for the ceremony, the sky turned blue, the sun came out, and we headed outside. A beautiful 20-minute ceremony later… the clouds came back and went back to work. But they got their outside ceremony, and it was perfect and just what we needed. the rain held off long enough for a quick round grip ride on the ski lift. Thank you Erin and Taylor for trusting me with your day, may every day forward be as fun.

the dailypic 3216 yr9 294 Lyra’s Big Day
I met Lyra a few months back at a Bernese Mountain Dog ‘meet up in’ Charlestown. She is a sweet, small, 9 year old berner, who Josie liked and even posed for a photo with. A while back one of her ‘people’ contacted me for a photo session. A few days ago we made the plan for this morning and had a quick phone call to go over some details. Turned out this was more than a photo session, it was going to be a proposal. So early this morning at Choate Park, Lyra, Michelle, Ben and I took some photos, when we got to the big tree Ben surprised Michelle with a ring and Lyra’s park adventure got even better. It was an honor to capture this part of their story. Congratulations to all of them.
