Wedding

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.

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.

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.

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.

A great day for a wedding. Amy and Nick got married today. It rained, there were tears, there was laughter, there were shots, cool socks, an old barn, and their son Dylan stole the show, it was a perfect day. I wish them nothing but happiness. It was an honor to be part of their day.

In a great example of how jobs come to be, just over two years ago I shot my friends in the band Whiskey Church playing with the WPI orchestra on campus. A fun, different band shoot, thought nothing of it after the fact… a few months later an email arrives, a couple that was there are now getting married and need a wedding photographer. This is that couple. I am so fortunate to be placed into these opportunities that just lead to even more. It was an honor to photograph Sam and Will’s wedding tonight, just a great couple, surrounded by unbelievable friends and family. So many unique parts, handmade bouquets and corsages, made by the bride out of song music, each song chosen for the person holding/wearing it, just too cool. And this display, 3 wedding photos for each side, parents and grandparents wedding photos on display as you walked in the reception. Sam and Will, I wish you nothing but the best, it was a joy to spend the day capturing all this and more for you. I owe Whiskey Church a thank you for putting us together.

Early last month I was shooting a wedding and I got a text from my brother with a picture of an engagement ring on the finger of my now sister in law Beth. My reply, said “if you need a photographer….” I was told I can’t shoot it, so I said I would perform it, and they agreed. I got ordained, I got the proper paperwork by the state of New Hampshire and yesterday on the shore of Winnipesaukee in Meredith NH we all froze. Beth and Shawn trusted me with the words, my daughter Anna stepped in as the photographer – though I did have mine under my jacket. I stopped right before my final words and snuck in my ‘Officiant Selfie’, then I pronounced them and we partied into the night. Congratulations Beth and Shawn I could not be happier for the both of you. thank you for taking my request seriously, I go to many weddings, this one was special for so many reason, a very deserving, happy brother, great new sister in law, new nephew and extended family, but I got to say… talking instead of shooting is fun, but I think now that it is crossed off the bucket list I will give it back to the pros. I guess I’ve learned a lot from those pros over the years, the Clergy, the JPs and Officiants like Susan Green, Cynthia McNeil and Amanda Brown (who offered some advice thank you Amanda) – if you need one, check some of them out, I would be happy to take the photos.
