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

Vplays Galore!
Posted by Erik | Filed under Recent Events
I can’t believe August is here already. We have had a busy couple of weeks. My birthday was last friday and we have pictures from that to put up and share!! Hopefully I will do that tomorrow.
I thought I would take some time and post our most recent vplays for you all to enjoy! I know that a lot of you check our blog every day for something new so here we go! Three vplays to keep you entertained.
Cory and Adam June 27th 2008
Searles Castle Windham NH
Cory wrote me this wonderful email right after I shared her vplay with her. I think it pretty much sums up what we do as photographers ☺ Thank you Cory and Adam for an amazing time!
Colleen and Erik, thank you so much for all of the hard work you and your team have done to make our wedding day photography simply spectacular!
I have played our V-play over several times in the last few minutes and am just in awe with the work you have put together. Everything looks so lovely, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
I love that you paid special attention to all of the little details that meant so much to us. The photgraph of Adam and his mother dancing with the photo of his father in the frame is so heart warming. I know this will be one of many images we will traesure for years to come. In your own special way, you helped us capture that he truly was there with us.
While we were planning our wedding, we tried to incorporate all of the touches we could think of, to make our 4-legged friend Lucky a member of the day. And, we are just tickled pink to hear the opening song of our v-play… thanks for opening our eyes to such a wonderful song.
I wish I could hug you each right now. I am so thankful that we had you as a photographers, and we look forward to seeing the Pictage gallery when ready.
Hugs & Smiles. Have a great weekend,
–Cory
Ashley and Alan July 12th 2008
Spring Valley Country Club Sharon, MA
One thing we love is seeing the same people over again! We had the pleasure of shooting Ashley’s sister Whitney back in 2005. So returning again in 2008 was so much fun! Whitney just had a baby and was the maid of honor in Ashley’s wedding. Both girls got ready at their parents house. It was nice to be back in a familiar setting. Looking back at Whitney’s photos you can see similar details shot at Ashley’s wedding. We looked forward to working with the family again and it was a fun day all around!
Congrats Ashley and Alan!
Cheri and Brian July 19th 2008
Chatham Bars Inn Chatham, MA
Cheri and Brian both lucked out for beautiful weather on their wedding day. They got married over looking the ocean and it couldn’t of been anymore perfect. We had lots of fun shooting down the beach during the day and at night. The moon turned a really vibrant orange color and it made for some unique photo opportunities. We love what the summer months can offer us visually and this day was no exception.
Congrats Cheri and Brian!

Mystic Aquarium 6-28-08
Posted by Erik | Filed under Recent Events, Wedding
Erik, Nikki, and I (also Niki – the intern!) had an incredible time in Mystic, Connecticut. Joe and Taelese were such a great couple to work with and their wedding party had us laughing the entire time. The ceremony was in a cute church on a hill overlooking the town, the dress was absolutely breathtaking (especially when it was spread over rocks on the beach with the fog rolling in and a ship in the background!), and the images are like something out of a movie! Cocktail hour kicked off my favorite part of the day at Mystic Aquarium.
I thought it was such a unique idea and the Beluga Whales were very cooperative for pictures! The reception was held inside where delicious food and good music lasted all night! Narrowing down these pictures was not easy and I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do. It truly was a fairytale wedding and we wish Joe and Taelese all the best! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this amazing day! Congratulations!

Lights.. Camera.. Patriots!
Posted by Erik | Filed under Recent Events, Wedding
Well Happy 2008 everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday and a happy new year. I just wanted to update everyone on something very cool that happened at one of the weddings this past weekend.
Kym and Greg are huge Patriots fans and of course their wedding day happened to fall on the night of the big game. Not only that but they managed to get a TV at their reception site (Lakeview Pavilion) so everyone could enjoy the wedding and the game! Well long story short. But NECN got wind of this and came to do a story for the news that night!
Here is the link to the video… I hope it works for everyone:
I also had to share these screen captures from the video… Erik and I hard at work!
It was a great night for both Kym and Greg and of course for the Patriots! 16-0!!
