Forevercandid | Bittersweet Farm in Westport | Ruby & Cristian

Here are some of the formals images from Ruby & Cristian's wedding! At this point in the day we are at Bittersweet Farm in Westport, MA. The rain was coming quick and we had to move fast!

First Look at the Biltmore - Boston Wedding Photographer - Ruby Cristian part 2

One of the most adorable moments captured on film (err, digital) - don't you think? I'm creating a separate blog post for this one so when my clients ask "What is a first look session?", I can point them here. This is a new trend in the industry, and one that I think will definitely stick around!

Thanks for viewing everyone!

The Biltmore Providence - Getting Ready - Ruby & Cristian Part 1

This is merely the beginning of what was a stunning - stunning - stunning (did I say stunning?) wedding. It starts out with Ruby getting ready with her girls, mother, and mother-in-law to be at the Biltmore Hotel in Providence, RI. There was something simply classic about this location. I loved the light pouring in through the windows and all the details Ruby chose. And of course, the dress... my GOODNESS the dress. Check it out.

Stay tuned for the rest of the wedding. You won't want to miss the heartfelt first-look session, the adorable barn ceremony, and the flash mob at the reception at Bittersweet Farm! To see when the next post is up, make sure you're following on Facebook! www.facebook/thebostonweddingphotographer

Forevercandid | Boston Wedding Photography at the Fairmont Battery Wharf

Allison and Jason had a gorgeous Boston wedding at the Fairmont Battery Wharf! It's a newer venue to Boston, right on the waterfront, and is a hop skip and jump away from the North End. The forecast was RAIN all week, but the day surprised us all and was full of sunshine! I really loved the ceremony set up, different from anything you've seen, I guarantee it. Thanks Allison, Jason, and the Fairmont for creating such a stunning event for me to photograph!

Who doesn't love a water backdrop for ceremony and formals?

Classy, classy, classy reception! I just adored the atmosphere inside of the Fairmont Battery Wharf. Allison and Jason used wine corks for their seating assignments. The deep purple color she chose for the bridesmaid dresses and tables was perfect for the venue.

Thanks for viewing everyone!

Forevercandid | Boston Wedding Photography | Nicole & Rick

Nicole and Rick were married on September 10th, 2011! Beautiful wedding! Bright sunshiny day!

I love the beautiful champagne color bridesmaid dresses with black accents! Very elegant...

The light spilling through the windows gave the images a different look which I also love!

Cape Cod Wedding || Pocasset & Falmouth MA || Amy & Scott part 1

Getting ready images are more often then not my favorite part of the day. I started with Amy and her bridesmaids while my second shooter Josh started with the guys at a different house. So the images you see of Scott with his guys are from Josh (thanks as usual for your great work!). Amy's color pallet of navy and the lightest of yellows was really beautiful with the tan colored suits the guys wore!

And here's the quaint wedding ceremony at the little church in Pocasset MA. I loved the seashell decor going down the aisle! Also how the program doubled as a hand fan - because BOY people needed them!

Adorable right? Stick around for part two of this wedding. Beach formals with dramatic clouds and more. The connection this couple has with each other just radiates through the images! OH yeah, hit the "like" button below so I know you're watching? ;-)

Nantasket Beach Resort || Hull MA Wedding Photography || Lisa & Michael

There aren't too many things I love more than the beach - so photographing a wedding at the Nantasket Beach Resort in Hull, MA did not disappoint! We had a beautiful September day and the tide went out at the perfect time for us to take some shots outside near and in the water. After some convincing, the groomsmen braved the water, taking off their shoes and rolling up their pants. Michael had no problem getting in, it was hot, and the cool water would feel great! The girls, including Lisa, had on super cute silver flip-flops for the wedding which accentuated the beach theme perfectly! This blog comes to you in 3 phases. I wanted to highlight the getting ready images (bright colors, natural light, pink Gucci wristlets for all the bridesmaids!!), the beach formals (of course), and some of the reception details including the must-see starfish cake topper! Enjoy...

This bride LOVES her dog - she had to be included in some of the formals!! I love how the ring bearer climbs right into the photos at one point as well.

Beach themed candy bar! So cute! I love pixiesticks!

Thank you so much Michael & Lisa!!!

Boston Wedding Photographer | Pink! | Steph & Jim

The fire alarm ring shot above is a perfect description of Steph and Jim - fiery!! Hurricane Irene was fierce as well - rain barely subsiding for a minute to allow a mere one minute of outdoor bride & groom images. Stephenie and Jim wouldn't let that get them down. A quick (and hysterical) wedding ceremony followed by some serious dancing! I love it when the crown gets right up on the dance floor and is ready to party. I love the pink and black theme throughout the wedding. A bold choice that not everyone can pull off - but they certainly did! Check out her pink shoes!

All the best to you Stephenie and Jim. I had a wonderful time at your wedding and appreciate your senses of humor and warm personalities!

Rainy Garden Wedding || Harding Allen Estate || Bev & Matt

Though you've already seen what the amazingly delicious desert table looked like at Bev & Matt's wedding, I wanted to share a little more! Once again, it took place at the Harding Allen Estate in Barre MA. I had a chance to photograph some of the property before the rain started. There are vibrant florals all around the main building and also in Beverly's hair that I had to capture! We did have a chance to take some images outside after the rain passed by, but not after I put an umbrella over their heads and made them walk around for a minute or two! If you didn't see it on my facebook post -- below the images is a little piece of writing that goes along with the sentiment of rain being good luck on your wedding day!

Rain on Your Wedding Day (by unknown source)

"Rain symbolizes blessings, cleansing, unity, and a new day. In some cultures it is also a symbol of fertility. Due to these positive connotations, a rainy wedding day is very often considered good.

First of all, rain signifies blessings, and everyone wants their marriage to be blessed. Blessings speak of hope and approval. There is every reason to be optimistic when you consider all the possibilities that are ahead.

Blessings also connote prosperity, both in a material and physical sense. It is therefore considered good luck if it rains on that special day, due to the hopeful expectations of a happy life.

Rain also cleanses, ever notice how fresh and clean everywhere looks after a shower of rain. Cleansing signifies the washing away of dirt, as well as the purging of things that might have sullied or tainted in the past.

After the rain, there is a clean slate that allows you to begin afresh and anew. For those getting married, a new beginning is envisioned as they embark on their life together.

In addition, rain is a sign of fertility. Water makes things grow. Many couples have the hopeful expectation that there marriage will be blessed with children. Therefore in some cultures rain on your wedding day is viewed as a sign that the couple will have many children, and of course, children are considered a blessing.

Rain on your wedding day can also signify unity. The rationale behind this stems from the reference to marriage as “tying the knot.” It is no secret that a wet knot is much harder to pull apart than a dry one, as the water makes it harder to untie. Therefore if it rains when you are “tying the knot” it suggests unity, and the creation of a stronger bond that will not easily be broken.

Generally, rain is also considered a sign of restoration. It suggests that things that might have been considered dry or dying will regain strength, due to the rain that regenerates and brings renewal.

Rain on your wedding day is in essence a mark of fortune. It is expected that the day is the dawn of a lifetime which will spill over with good luck. As we have seen, it signifies blessings and success."

Isn't that beautiful?? By the way, special thanks to my second shooter Josh Andrus for grabbing the image of the invitation (with the light falling across it so beautifully).

Harding Allen Estate || Desert Bar || Bev & Matt

Multi-flavored cheesecake, cannolis, M&M cookies, blueberry pie, brownies, chocolate cake.... All these (and more) are part of the delectable desert bar that the Harding Allen Estate in Barre, MA puts out for their weddings! I've had the pleasure of photographing at this venue twice now, and this time I really wanted to share. Doesn't it all look so scrumptious?!

Wedding Photography | Classic Car and the Ocean | Steph & Sean | Part 2

I promised you a part 2, so here it is! I absolutely LOVE when there is ample time and a fabulous location for the "formal" images. Because we wanted to keep the land and water in the background, if you can believe it, I was actually standing on the back of a pick-up truck for many of these! Steph and Sean grew up in this area (Little Compton) and knew exactly where this little spot was. Steph's grandfather quipped about how he could take his car down on the beach (he had done it before after-all), however they probably wouldn't be able to get it back up again! We chose to park it at the top and worked around it ;-)

Boston Wedding Photographer | Uneven Amount of Girls in Bridal Party?

This week I was asked if it looks strange (in photos) to have an uneven amount of girls in your bridal party. Great question! I thought it would be fun to put a little collage together and let you all decide for yourselves! Personally, I think the images speak for themselves...




So what do you think? Leave your comment here so the bride who asked can have all of your opinions as well!

Wedding Photography | Little Compton Rhode Island | Steph & Sean | Part 1

Hello world! This year I've focused much of my blogging on engagement sessions, so I thought I'd mix it up a little and share a wedding with you!

August 13th arrived and Stephanie & Sean were ready for their fabulous wedding day in Rhode Island! Here is part one in which is Stephanie getting ready at home where she grew up in the small but picturesque town of Little Compton. It was a bright sun-shiny day - enjoy! Part two will be the beach and cliff side bridal party images and also the reception which was at Boland's Tree Farm a few towns over in Tiverton.

Boston North End | Engagement Photography | Allison & Jason

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've blogged, I know! What can I say, it's been wonderfully busy around here. I had a super fun session with Allison and Jason last night in Boston. We ventured around the Columbus Park and the North End. I thought it would be cute if they went into Mike's Pastry and got a little treat! Luckily (I learned that Jason has a sweet tooth), they were ok with that idea too! :) Here are some images of the Mike's Pasty experience in the North End. Maybe just maybe I'll blog the rest of the images later!

If you've never been to the North End or Mike's Pastry - you should probably check them out. Here's their facebook page - http://on.fb.me/nEpIqq

Engagement Photography | Georges Island | Boston | Lisa & Michael

What a gorgeous day for an engagement session in Boston! Lisa & Michael had been to Georges Island a few times, but this was my very first visit. It's definitely a place I'd love to go back and spend the whole day at! Plenty of space for a picnic, lots of interesting history to explore, and even a food shack and facilities if you don't bring your own food with you. Here's a glimpse of our session - hope you enjoy!
