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!

Leah and Matt
Posted by Erik | Filed under Recent Events, Wedding
I wanted to share a Vplay that is very dear to us. Leah and Matt were so amazing to work with. We shot their engagment session last year and I remember thinking “Wow, I can’t wait for their wedding! ” And then June 14th 2008 came! What a great day it was. I felt very honored to be apart of their wedding day. This is why we love what we do. We are able to capture moments that the bride and groom will treasure for a lifetime.
Leah and Matt, congratulations to the two of you. We were honored to be apart of your wedding day and the whole wedding process. We look forward to staying in touch and working on designing your album.

I admit it. I have been slacking on blog entries. I have so much to share with all of you! For now I wanted to post our most recent wedding. It was held at the Ballroom Veronique in Brookline. We are so happy spring is finally here and the weather is warming up. We got some awesome shots of Brianne and David on the train tracks right across from the ballroom. We enjoy looking for new and creative shots and this warm weather is a great help!
Enjoy the vplay!
Congrats Brianne and David!!

Thank You from Michelle and Chris!
Posted by Erik | Filed under Recent Events, Wedding
Wow, I haven’t updated in awhile. A couple weeks ago Erik and I shot Michelle and Chris’s wedding at the Red Lion Inn. What a fun time we had! We presented them their vplay last week and they loved it! Michelle was kind enough to write up a little testimonial for us to put on the blog!
I have known Erik for a few years now and we always talked about how when I got engaged he would shoot my wedding. Well once I actually got engaged he was first on my list of people to call…and I couldn’t be happier that I did! Not that I ever had any question in mind…I had seen many of his albums and v-plays over the years and was always amazed at how each one seemed to top the last! Erik is an amazing photographer with so much enthusiasm that every one is smiling and laughing the whole time. The photographs are all you have left from the whirlwind that is your wedding day and Erik and Colleen captured every moment so beautifully that we will never forget a detail.
It’s so nice to come back from weddings and hear all this positive feedback from everyone. We truly love what we do and we love sharing your special day with you. Here’s Michelle and Chris’s Vplay, Enjoy it as much as they did!

Albums, Albums, Albums!
Posted by Erik | Filed under Recent Events
Anyone sick of this winter weather yet? I know I am. However, the snow does provide for really pretty photographs.
We’ve been doing a lot of album designing the past couple of weeks. It’s been really nice to have the spare time to really get deep in the design process.
Here’s one of my favorite recent albums we have designed. Sheila and Terry got married at the beautiful Lord Thompson Manor in Connecticut in October 2006. The images from this wedding were beautiful and I believe their album truly reflects that. Enjoy!

Jen and Andy Vplay… Long Overdue
Posted by Erik | Filed under Recent Events, Wedding
I just wanted to share Jen and Andy’s Vplay from way back on December 1st. The images from this day were so beautiful and I just wanted everyone to experience them.
