Well, the 2010 wedding season has come to an end for me. As the days get crisper and shorter, I stay warm and renewed, confident in this generation's commitment to each other; and ever so proud to have shared in the celebration their love and been able to give them the gift of tangible memories of that day. It is in the memory of heartfelt speeches, tender looks, stolen kisses and of course, wild dance moves, that I will find my warmth through the winter...and my revived faith in love.
Congrats to all the newlyweds and thank you.

Rustic Romance

Deep in the woods of Hanson, MA, down a narrow, winding road, lies a small retreat, Camp Kiwanee. It was here that Derek and Tina tied the knot, surrounded by their loved ones last weekend. I feel blessed to say that these lovebirds have become close friends of mine over the past year and I was so pleased to witness their union at such a unique location, in a celebration that truly expressed their individuality.

Bride, Tina, worked tirelessly over the past few months on her vision, creating exceptional decor details, fitting of the location and the couples lives together.



The poignant ceremony was set looking out at the still lake waters that reflected the sky, like we were floating among the clouds.




And the fact that I shot more photos than I ever have at one wedding reception, pretty much exemplifies the fact that these two certainly know how to party.



Congrats to my friends, the new Mr. and Mrs. Webber.

Sweet Sweet Love

A little impending hurricane can’t stop true love... Bride, Helen, and groom, Rob, prepared for the worst last Friday as they made last minute changes to their wedding plans, moving the backyard clambake indoors as Earl threatened to rain on the, well, biggest day of their lives. Saturday arrived though, Earl turned out to be a no-show, and the festivities began with a clear, crisp, perfect September afternoon.

Everything about this sweet celebration was uniquely personal, from the ceremony held in the church that the groom’s grandmother helped build, to the reception held at an exquisite family home, to the charming readings sent from the bride’s family and friends in Australia. And the imaginative decor details by Helen were truly inspired.
