Boston Engagement Photos…..
Posted by Erik | Filed under Behind the Camera, Erik's Thoughts, Headlines, Recent Events, Wedding
Wow Spring is almost here. We are all looking forward to the warmer weather. Colleen and I have been busy designing and are looking forward to our shooting season to open up. I really miss photographing each weekend seeing what each day will bring. Until then we shoot as much as we can. We just finished a few engagement sessions both in Boston and the North Shore. Here below we put an engagement Vplay together for Caroline and Jason. There wedding is July 4th at the Boston Harbor Hotel. We were able to photograph inside the dome area for the Engagement Session. I love the daylight there. I hate using flash. People usually over-light with flash and you get this cheesy ‘hi its me and my uncle shot this’ look. If we use flash it is because we have to and at that usage should always be light. Enjoy the engagement session images and check back mid-July for their Wedding Day Vplay-It will be great! Erik

Go Go Colleen….Design Extraordinaire!
Posted by Erik | Filed under Behind the Camera, Headlines, Recent Events, Wedding
Great to see a Wedding Day come together in the final album. We had a blast on Mary Catherine and Patrick’s Wedding Day. Fun bride and groom great planning and a whole lot of good people. We photographed their Wedding, met with Mary Catherine and Patrick then we got the design rolling. Colleen went to town designing-awesome. Its great to be there on a wedding day, see and feel what is important, then finalize the presentation in an album. Wow. This is one of our favorite designs for one of our favorite Brides! Thanks Mary Catherine and Patrick from both Colleen and myself——Erik

Best Day at work….. Ever
Posted by Erik | Filed under Behind the Camera, Recent Events
Well, what can I say… There’s never a dull moment here at work…
Matt and Leah have been really close with us throughout the year. When we shot their engagement session last summer we were discussing their wedding plans and what they expected out of the wedding. One thing they made absolutely clear to us was that there would be NO chicken dance at the wedding. So of course it became this long running joke that we would higher a chicken to come and dance at their wedding. I remember throughout the year Erik and I would say that for the wedding we need to do the chicken dance idea. Of course the wedding came and went.. and we fell through on our chicken plan. Shame on us..
We really enjoy Matt and Leah. It was so much fun on their wedding day and we found two great new friends out of those whole wedding process! A couple of weeks ago we were at a wedding and I realized that the reception was down the street from Leah and Matt’s house. Erik and I thought it would be a fantastic idea to surprise them after the wedding! Or even better sneaking into their apt building when they aren’t there.. And waiting till they come home and surprising them! Stalkers? No I don’t think so! What a fun night that was! Who wouldn’t love you’re two wedding photographers showing up on a Saturday night to hang out? Matt and Leah are a blast. And not to mention we had our cameras with us so of course we had to do what we did best..
Okay.. so fast forward to today…. It’s Erik’s birthday. Matt and Leah gave me a heads up last week that they had something planned.. well needless to say, Erik and I got a surprise guest here at PWP this afternoon. I will let the photo explain itself!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIK. It definitely started out with a …. Chicken!!!!

Spring has Sprung..
Posted by Erik | Filed under Behind the Camera, Recent Events
I don’t know about any of you but I’m really craving the nice weather this year. I’m so anxious the flowers to bloom and to finally see all of that green! Here at Perfect Wedding Photo we are anxious to get outside, go for bike rides, and play in the backyard. Erik and I were even throwing the idea of having a PWP mini golf tournament. How much fun would that be. I would win of course… but still it would be a fun time! We have a busy season coming up. Saturday we will be at the Ballroom Veronique for Brianne and David’s wedding. We are looking forward to being outside and shooting again.
I thought I would share some “green” images from past weddings so we can all get in the spirit for SPRING! And of course in honor of the Red Sox and opening day being yesterday I included some images from a wedding we shot at Fenway Park.
Enjoy the weather everyone!

February 1st.. is it summer yet?
Posted by Erik | Filed under Behind the Camera, Recent Events
February 1st already! Where has the time gone? Some new things have been happening around the office this week.
For starters, way back in the beginning of the season I bet Erik that by the end of the 2007 wedding season he could quiz me and I would remember everyone’s name of every wedding I shot with him. Needless to say today the PWP crew decided to give me a very hard pop quiz with not only names, but dates, vplay songs, locations! I’m pleased to announce that I got 99% right and I only forgot one V-Play song. Darn it! I’ll hang it on the fridge when I get home!
Another new thing for the 2008 wedding season we started a new marketing plan for each wedding. After each wedding we want to come up with an 8×10 print that showcases the venue the wedding was held at. We also want to do this for florists, bakeries, etc. Here are two samples that we designed for the Boston Harbor Hotel and the Seaport Hotel. We are planning on sending them to each venue so they can display them to future clients. I think they came out beautiful.

Well I hope everyone has a good weekend and GO PATS!!!!

Ohhh… Shiny!
Posted by Erik | Filed under Behind the Camera, Recent Events
I was kind of hoping Erik would show up my post with some pictures from his recent trip to New York. I guess he’s just a little slow this week. Just kidding E ☺
We love when it’s a busy wedding season. Each wedding day is an opportunity for us to shine by capturing brilliant and creative images. However, we are in that lovely season called winter or “off-season”. So it’s a little slow with only a few weddings in the next couple months. On the other hand, we are having a ball designing albums for our previous clients.
It’s so rewarding to shoot all of these weddings and then come back and start designing their album. You may notice on your wedding day Erik shooting certain things you may not even realize what he is shooting. I remember one wedding where he told me he was going to get the case of equipment so we could move it into the reception room. So I thought to myself, I want to see what he’s actually doing when he’s getting the case. Sure enough there’s Erik with his camera crawling around shooting flowers, architecture, anything shiny that catches his eye! Thanks to his creativeness, we use a lot of these detail shots for backgrounds for the pages of the albums. I think it’s those shots that really bring the albums together. So thanks Erik, for being distracted by shiny things!
Enjoy some of these detail shots, and I sure hope Erik doesn’t poke fun at me too much when finally decides to post on here! AlsoI have two new albums to unveil on here in the next post, so keep your eyes open for those awesome details used in the backgrounds.
