Just a few preview photos from M&M’s wedding in Sudbury, Massachusetts. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, happier couple to photograph and the weather was just what the Doctors ordered (Yes, I can hear the collective groan from the many members of the medical community present at the wedding.)
My favorite part of this wedding was seeing how well this couple and their families were able to blend the beautiful traditions that they wanted to incorporate from their collective backgrounds. This is something that makes a wedding so unique and, to be honest, makes my job ridiculously fun.
I have to admitt, when the bride walked in with this dress in her hand, I got a little giddy with excitement. It is one thing to get to photograph a beautiful white gown, but a red one too on the same day- photographer heaven. I am so glad they let me pry them away from the reception for 5 minutes so we could get some photos with this gown as well.

Wayside Inn Wedding- Boston Wedding Photography
Self portraits spot on
I found my kids drawing on the chalkboard yesterday and thought I would share. The scene started with some disputes about land-rights, but that was easily solved by drawing a line down the middle and labeling the top. They then continued drawing pictures of themselves. I have to admit- a fairly close rendering on both sides. D spends much of her daily life up in her head, imagining and creating worlds of her own creation. G, on the other hand, manages to live his life as a swirling activity in the external world-but still within the confines of space allotted to him. I have to say I am really enjoying them at this age.
Photonotes: I love the way the soft light filters in on them through the shaded window. Our living room actually creates fairly tough lighting situations. Windows are on 2 sides of the room and it gets full sun that would have side lit this photo and caused far to harsh of shadows and contrast. Add to that we have a mix of lights-halogen and incandescent, which can cause annoying color shifts in photos. Blue hair and orange skin-ugggh. I actually have thought of changing one of the fixtures in our rented apartment so that I could add different light bulbs because the white balance issues I get with photos bothers me so much. To create the soft, sculptural light, I turned off the lights and closed the blinds- still getting the benefits of natural light, but creating an enormous soft box on the right.
Jeremy & Rachel | wedding photography in Albany
This was a wedding that knew how to have a good time. In fact, as we were leaving, my 2nd shooter told me that it was one of the most fun weddings that she had been to. What made it so special? I think it was the enthusiasm everyone in the room brought with them. The celebration, the dancing- the obvious love you could feel from the attendants of the wedding.
As a side note: Rachel and Jeremy actually found me as a photographer after I took this photo of them a year ago at another wedding. They were dancing together and made this beautiful image of a couple in love.
It wasn’t too long after that Jeremy contacted me asking to use the photograph as part of his planned wedding proposal. He had it made into a puzzle and had her assemble it all withholding one missing piece that said “marry me?” which he presented her along with a ring. How sweet is that?
