Houghton’s Pond Couples Session in Milton, MA | Chyrisia and Kenneth

Recently, on a beautiful June afternoon I met up with the incredible Chyrisia and her adoring husband, Kenneth for a couple’s session. This affectionate couple has known each other for over 10 years now.

This loving duo first met while on a church youth retreat. They have been a happy couple for the past 7 years.

Chyrisia and Kenneth are from the breath taking islands of St. Vincent and Grenadines. Chyrisia is from the windward side of the Island and Kenneth is from the leeward side.

They got married 6 months ago and are looking forward to starting a family together in the near future. They are hoping to have at least two children.

We did this couples shoot at Houghton’s Pond in Milton, Ma. Roughly 10,000 years ago Houghton’s pond was formed due to receding glaciers. It is a spring-fed kettle hole pond located in Milton, Ma south of Boston, Ma. The 24-acre pond is technically a lake by definition. It’s a family friendly beach type area that local families enjoy during the summer months. There is also a seasonal snack bar and an adorable playground.

We had a great couple hours walking around, talking and laughing. Unfortunately I wasn’t their wedding photographer. While they liked their wedding photographs, they just wanted a few photographs of them together as they don’t have very many. They loved all of their photographs.

It was amazing to meet you both!

The Nature Trail and Cranberry Bog Engagement Session in Foxborough, MA | Marissa and Alex

I love being one of Boston’s best Wedding Photographers. The couples and people that I get to meet along the way are always incredible. I absolutely love learning about everyone and being a part of there unique and beautiful love story.

Recently, the incredible Marissa and Alex contacted me to photograph their wedding. Once we sat down to discuss what they were looking for we knew that we were a perfect fit. I love when a couple books an engagement session with me as well, as I find that it helps prepare them for their big day. It helps them understand what to expect while cutting down on an already stressful day, The Wedding Day.

We photographed this adoring couple at The Nature Trail and Cranberry Bog in Foxborough, MA about 40 minutes outside of Boston, MA. The trail is home to the last remaining active cranberry bog in the town of Foxborough.

People appreciate watching the Ocean Spray Bog as it comes to life. Patriots place is a beautiful place to visit in general but the cranberry bog is a beautiful addition. During our stroll along the gorgeous trail we learned about the life cycle of the cranberry along with other educational facts about the bog. The bog spans over a 16-acre site.

Marissa and Alex are high school sweethearts. They met each other in high school and have been together since. They currently both work at Shaw’s Market. Marissa works in the bakery and Alex is the assistant manager in the deli.

They brought along they’re adorable dog Howie who was more than happy to pose for some great photographs while wearing the cutest home made sign that said, “My humans are tying the knot”.

Marissa and Alex got engaged while they were on vacation at Disney World in front of Cinderella castle at the Magic Kingdom. Her beautiful diamond ring is even Disney themed.

Marissa’s mom, Janet, accompanied us during our adventure as well. Referred to as Nonny to Howie, he is currently her only grandchild but she is hopeful she will have more grandchildren soon. Marissa and Alex plan on having at least three little ones but they are really enjoying their fur babies in the mean time.

Alex and Marissa loved their engagement photographs. They can’t wait until I photograph their wedding in 2020. I’m grateful that they chose me and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding.

Congratulations Marissa and Alex!

He got down on one knee right in their living room and asked Meridyth to marry him! Before he asked her he made sure to get her parents blessing and he said once they said it was ok he just couldn’t wait any longer.

Meridyth and Phillip each have three siblings, so when they do start having children they plan on having more than one so that they have someone to play with as they did growing up.

Borderland State Park covers 1,843 acres that surround the Ames Mansion, built in 1910. The park is a historic nature preserve that has a beautiful public recreational area situation in the towns of Easton and Sharon, Ma.

Photo Booth Rental at Lakeview Pavilion in Foxborough, MA | Fredy and Fabiola

Recently I rented my photo booth at Fredy and Fabiola’s wedding reception held at the beautiful Lakeview Pavilion in Foxborough, MA about 35 minutes outside of Boston, MA.

These delightful newly weds have been together for three years now. They met in church through mutual friends. Fredy popped the question during his birthday weekend at The Boston Public Gardens in Boston Common.

They went out with a group of friends for a walk. The two of them decided to climb up on top of a big rock located in the garden’s to snap a couple of photographs. That’s when he got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. She was completely surprised as she thought they were there to start his birthday weekend festivities.

Shortly following their nuptials they jetted off to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for a stunning honeymoon. They had an amazing time enjoying the gorgeous weather. I’m sure a much-needed vacation from regular life, Fredy is a computer engineer and Fabiola is a pre-school teacher.

Fabiola and Fredy don’t have any children yet but they are looking forward to having at least one child. Currently their focus is on buying their first home and exploring the world.

Everyone that entered my photo booth had nothing but amazing things to say about this happy newly married couple!  There was love in the air while everyone at the reception was enjoying himself or herself.  An open photo booth rental is a great addition at any wedding or event. 

Lakeview Pavilion is an absolutely breath taking venue. It just has elegance about it that you can’t describe. It honestly has a very modern flair that meets a natural beauty with an all white décor. It boasts dramatic windows and breath taking water views. It has beautiful high ceilings with crystal chandeliers. It was just georgous and they staff was equally amazing.

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

City Winery Wedding in Boston, MA | Mike and Matt (LGBT)

Being one of Boston’s Best Wedding Photographers affords me the luxury or meeting all types of people. It is one of the most amazing parts of my job as a photographer.

Not to long ago, Mike, requesting some information about my wedding services contacted me. We decided that we would get together so I could learn more about him and his partner Matt. Once we went over everything we knew that we were going to be a great match and we were right.

On an absolutely beautiful April afternoon I headed over to the Marriott Courtyard North Station to capture some detail shots of this adoring duo. Mike is originally from the Boston area so it was important to both him and Matt that they capture the essence of the city. I really felt as though I was able to do that for them.

Matt is from Philadelphia. This great couple have been together for a few years now and met through a mutual friend.

When we arrived at the hotel the energy was amazing. Everyone was so happy and excited that the big day was finally here. Chris the couples barber took the first Saturday off that he had in many years to not only attend the festivities but to give these two fine gentleman fresh cuts prior to the nuptials. He even trimmed up all of the other men in the wedding party.

Before we went over to The City Winery we took some time to do a personal little couples session near the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge, which is a beautiful staple in Boston.

The actual ceremony was held at City Winery in an intimate setting with only their closest friends and family. Once could feel the love these two had for one another just by looking at them.

City Winery is a unique restaurant. It combines a fully functional winery with intimate concerts, food and wine classes. The atmosphere was very welcoming and sleek at the same time. The staff when way above and beyond to make sure that everyone was having an incredible time.

When this remarkable couple was finally pronounced husband and husband we took some great family photos and then were able to do a couples sneak out. I know after the wedding they headed off to Bali for what I can only imagine was an outstanding honeymoon.

Congratulations Mike and Matt!

Lincoln State Park Engagement Session in Lincoln, RI | Marcella and Howayne

Happily as Boston’s Best Wedding Photographer, I was chosen to capture and document another incredible couples love story. On a beautiful evening in March, I was asked to accompany Marcella and Howayne around Lincoln State Park in Lincoln, RI. I captured breath-taking photographs along the way.

Howayne and Marcella have been together for a few years.

The lovely couple met through mutual friends and they just knew they were perfect for each other.

One could see the love between these two. When Howayne popped the question, Marcella answered yes without hesitation.

Lincoln Woods State Park was a beautiful location for the engagement session. It’s a public recreation area that spans over 627 acres around Olney Pond.  The photo options were endless. Lincoln Woods State Park is located northwest of Pawtucket in the town of Lincoln, RI. The park is known for its giant glacial boulders and stony terrain, which prevented most of the parkland from being used as farmland or other development. These days’ families can enjoy this picturesque area.

We had a splendid time exploring the park while we discussed Marcella and Howayne’s upcoming wedding ceremony.

Congratulations Marcella and Howayne!

In addition to having a table set up that my assistant ran during the event I was asked to capture the event. In doing so I was able to show case a lot of what Lake Pearl has to offer, from the event space to what their entree’s look like.

As one of Lake Pearls preferred vendors it is always a pleasure to work with them. The entire staff at this venue is amazing.

City of Boston Pre-Wedding Shoot | Sneha and ShiHarsha

Being one of Boston’s best wedding photographers has allowed me to work with many different walks of life. Sneha and Shiharsha are a perfect example. Unfortunately, I was only able to capture their engagement photographs, as they will be traveling back to India for a traditional Indian wedding.

Sneha and ShiHarsha have been together for over a year. The meaning of ShiHarsha’s name is happiness, which is so fitting as you can see in some of my favorite photographs. Both of them were extremely happy as we explored the city. Sneha came to the states to obtain her masters degree in computer science. Both Sneha and Shiharsha work in IT.

We explored several different locations in the beautiful city of Boston during our time together. As you can see by some of my favorite photographs there was a lot of love floating around during our day together.

My assistant and I met up with Sneha and ShiHarsha at Christopher Columbus Park. Only a short walk from the North End near Boston’s waterfront, Christopher Columbus Park is a beautiful area where kids can run around and play while family’s picnic.

We then moved on to Boston Public Garden, this is one of my favorite places to photograph. There are so many sights to see from the landscape to the swan boats.

Once we finished up at Boston Public Garden we were off to Castle Island. This beautiful stretch of beach in South Boston made for some great photos.

It was starting to get a little chilly along the water so we headed back to Boston Studio Rental in Braintree, Ma.

Some of my favorite snapshots were taken at Boston Studio Rental. Every time I am blessed with the opportunity to welcome clients back to my studio we always have a great time. There are well over 40 different backdrops to choose from and with all of the brand new equipment how could we not have a great time.

Searles Castle Wedding in Wyndham, NH | Victoria and Roger

I recently had the honor of capturing Victoria and Roger’s wedding photography at Searles Castle in Wyndham, NH about an hour north of Boston.

This amazing couple met each other when they worked together at the Sheraton Commander Hotel in Cambridge, MA. These two had way too much fun working together- always laughing and making simple tasks such as completing reports last much longer than they should’ve because they wanted to keep hanging out. They were friends and co-workers for about a month before they started dating.

They have been together for five years now. They have a beautiful daughter Mariana. Roger surprised Victoria with a family photo shoot, which is when he got down on one knee and proposed. She accepted right away and was thrilled that the whole thing was captured in photographs. She called it the most romantic day of her life.

The Kimpton Marlowe Hotel and The Multicultural Arts Center wedding in Cambridge, MA | Megan and Andrew

Megan and Andrew met online and quickly realized they were made for each other. I have been taking this couple’s photographs since they started their journey. Back in May, I got to capture their engagement photos on Revere beach in Revere MA located about five miles north of downtown Boston. Back in 1896 Revere Beach became the first public beach in the United States. 

There is something special about being able to see a new family all the way through.  Learning about how they met and when they realized they were the ones for each other, a person can just feeling like you are an important part of their story.  I’m hopeful that if and when this happy couple decides to grow their family I’ll be lucky enough to be included in that as well.  Whether it’s a puppy or a baby I can’t wait to document their journey through photography.

Sunday October 21 started off as a gloomy, rainy, chilly morning and turned into a beautiful, sunny crispy October day. The day started out at the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel. 

The Kimpton Marlowe Hotel is a boutique style hotel in Cambridge Ma.  The opportunities were endless to capture amazing photographs of everything from Megan’s red wedding gown to her beautiful bouquet, earrings, and rings. 

Kimpton Marlowe’s Charles River location mirrors the rare charisma of this city and the state-of-the-art essence and sense of pride that it encompasses.  There was so much detail in every aspect of this hotel from the carpet, to the walls, to the staircases it was absolutely beautiful everywhere you looked. Even the gorgeous suite that the couple was staying in allowed for breath-taking images, the photo options were endless.

Once everyone was ready we were able to capture a few amazing shots of the bride and her bridal party which was made up of all men including her brother on the Charles River.  It’s always so amazing to me to watch friends and family come together for a special day and just love and celebrate with them all day long.  You could see that everyone involved with this amazing couple’s journey genuinely cared, supported, and loved the couple.

Soon after we were off to the venue where Andrew and his grooms men were getting ready. 

The service and reception were held at the Multicultural Art Center in Cambridge Ma.  The Multicultural Art Center is a non-profit association created in 1978 as an arts center focused on assisting diverse people better understand one another. The venue was unbelievable; the room where the service and reception were held was an old Theater, with some of the most beautiful Victorian features. Everything looked almost old fashioned, there was a balcony that wrapped around the whole room and the details in the ceiling were incredible. The center also has an Art Gallery, which is where Megan and Andrew’s guests gathered for cocktail hour. 

Before the wedding ceremony, there was the signing of the ketubah, which is a marriage contract; the ketubah details the obligations of the groom to his bride. The ketubah is a legally binding contract and is typically framed and displayed in the couples home.  The ketubah was an adorable picture of Megan and Andrew.

Megan and Andrew had a traditional Jewish wedding.  It was officiated by Rabbi Robin Sparr whom is a remarkable woman.  I have been fortunate to work with her on several weddings now and she is an absolute delight.  Robin specializes in creating personally designer spiritual wedding ceremonies for Jewish and Interfaith couples of all religious and cultural background.  She has a beautiful voice and often sings while playing her guitar enhancing the beauty of the service. Once the signing was completed the ceremony started. Guests gathered to witness this beautiful couple make their vows to love each other forever.

After the ceremony we captured some amazing family photos and a few of the happy new couple.  Soon after the reception began.  The DJ was: DJ Paulie B from Emilie Entertainment.  While Megan and Andrew provided him with a list of their favorites including a mix of September by Earth Wind and Fire which was their wedding song, he managed to keep the party going with his own mix of old and new music.  Everyone including me had a great time dancing the night away with these newly weds.

The Reception was catered by:  Cuisine Chez Vous cuisinechezvous.com

The entire team went above and beyond to make sure that the couple’s special day was incredible.  Shiva took EXTRA special care of everyone but I have to give credit where credit is due and she went way out of her way for my assistant and I which made our job that much easier. Cuisine Chez Vous catering team strives to offer a restaurant food and service experience regardless of the venue or number of guests. They prepare your chosen menu onsite to guarantee the most astonishing quality food and use seasonal produce and meats.  While supporting local marketplaces they are also afforded the luxury of providing the freshest and tastiest food. I would highly recommend this team to cater any event big or small!

Congratulations Megan and Andrew

Coachmen's Lodge Wedding Bellingham, MA | Tiffany & Stephen

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Tiffany & Stephen’s wedding photography on a crisp fall afternoon in October.

This astonishing day started out at Tiffany’s parents house in Milford, Ma roughly 45 minutes outside of Boston, Ma. When we arrived Tiffany’s welcoming family and three family dogs, Riley, Yellow, and Black greeted us. It was easy to see that these dogs were far more than pets, they were a huge part of the family and they were totally involved in the wedding day festivities. 

Everyone was having a great time laughing and joking while Tiffany was getting into her gorgeous wedding gown. 

The home she grew up in had an amazing yard that was perfect for a few photographs of her, the dogs, and her bridesmaids.

Shortly after we drove a few minutes up the street to meet up with Stephen and his groomsmen where we were able to capture several amazing detail shots. 

Before heading to the ceremony we stopped off at the venue, Coachmen’s Lodge in Bellingham, Ma. Coachmen’s Lodge has been a staple in Bellingham, Ma for over forty years.  Over the years it has been remodeled and changed owners however it continues to offer something for everyone. The beautiful grounds behind the restaurant provided the perfect backdrop for our couple’s first look as well as provided the perfect scenery for group pictures after the ceremony. 

Following the couples first look we headed back to Milford, Ma to Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish where the couple was wed in a beautiful Roman Catholic ceremony. Family and friends gathered in the breath-taking parish. This incredible Romanesque style church made for the perfect backdrop for breathtaking pictures. 

Once the couple said their I do’s we were able to capture some family photographers under the vaulted ceiling and the elaborately designed interior before taking a few photographs in front of the heavy oak doors which are the entry way into the church. 

After the ceremony we headed back to Coachmen’s Lodge. Coachmen’s Lodge has been awarded Wedding Wire’s Couples Choice three years in a row now and it was easy to see why.  Dan Larue was Tiffany and Stephen’s wedding coordinator and he made it his personal business to make sure everything went off without a hitch from start to finish. Working with Dan made my job that much easier he was highly professional, extremely attentive and very knowledgeable. He was able to share many tips throughout the evening and went above and beyond to ensure that the newly weds were happy from start to finish.

Congratulations Tiffany and Stephen

Boston Marriott Newton Wedding in Auburndale, MA | Amir and Sahar

I recently had the honor of capturing Amir and Sahar’s wedding photography on an unbelievable sunny afternoon in October at The Boston Marriott Newton in Auburndale, Ma.  Auburndale is about 15 minutes outside of Boston.  This incredible venue with pristine surroundings provided a tranquil backdrop for this joyous occasion.

Our lovely day started out capturing some beautiful photographs of Sahar and bridal party getting ready in one of the Marriott’s breathtaking suits. All of the bridesmaids were laughing and joking while they were getting their hair and makeup done.  

After that it was on to Amir and his groomsmen.  Everyone was having such a great time.

Sahar had two separate looks, featured in this blog.  She looked amazing in both. Photographing these two was extremely easy as you can see by all of the amazing photos I was able to take.

Dream weddings don't just happen they're planned. As you can tell by the photographs this venue is amazing as most Marriott Weddings are. The Marriott has a team that specializes in making your wedding day dreams come true. They are Marriott Certified Wedding Planners and they are trained to plan your dream day.

Marriott Certified Wedding Planners are qualified to harmonize weddings of any kind, including ethnic and military weddings. Nicole Tricomi was the wedding coordinator for this blessed event and she was outstanding.

The entire staff was outstanding and made sure that my assistant and I had everything we needed throughout the day.  For the Marriott’s expert staff to make sure that we were ok, you can only imagine how they treated Amir and Sahar.

The night was a complete success, from start to finish and everyone had an amazing time dancing the night away.

Congratulations Amir and Sahar!

Lake Pearl Wedding in Wrentham, MA | Kelsey and Anthony

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Kelsey and Anthony’s wedding photography on a beautiful September afternoon at Lake Pearl in Wrentham Ma, one of New England’s most versatile estate wedding venues, and one of my favorite venues to collaborate with.

Lake Pearl is an amazing venue. Down by the lake they have a private lake house where I was able to capture some beautiful pictures of Kelsey and her family getting ready. There was so much excitement in the air. Kelsey, as you can see was a beautiful bride. Lake Pearl’s private lake house provided me with endless photograph options.

I was also able to capture some adorable photographs of Kelsey and Anthony’s daughter Gabriela.

Aside from the fact that she is beautiful she had a great time taking pictures and made it very easy for me to capture breathtaking photos. These are a few of my favorite. We had a great time while she played dress up in her mom’s wedding dress and shoes.

All Lake Pearl brides enjoy their very own private bridal suites. Bridal attendants provide hors d’oeuvre, cheese & crackers, champagne and bar service.

This extraordinary couple said their “I do’s” in front of friends and family in Lake Pearls beautiful out door gazebo, set alongside a pristine 128-acre natural lake. Kelsey looked unbelievable in her wedding gown as everyone stood to watch her walk down the isle. Following the ring exchange the couple had a wedding sand ceremony. Kelsey, Anthony and their daughter Gabriela each had different colored sand and they took turns pouring it into one clear vessel, forming a layered effect. The wedding sand ceremony is a symbolic combination of the couple's lives into one mutually loving union.

The cocktail hour took place in the Tree Top Lounge and the wedding reception took place in the romantic Tree Top Room, one of Lake Pearl's most popular rooms for intimate weddings.

Wessagussett Yacht Club Wedding in Weymouth, MA | Meaghan and Adam

I recently had the honor of capturing Meaghan and Adam’s wedding photo’s on a beautiful afternoon in September.

We started the day off capturing a few stunning photographs of Meaghan and her bridal party getting ready.

Then it was on to Adam and his groomsmen, everyone was in such a great mood.

The couple decided to do a first look featured below and the atmosphere was perfect.

The ceremony was held at The Wessagussett Yacht Club in Weymouth, Ma about 20 minutes south of Boston, Ma.

Wessagussett Yacht Club is a member maintained; full service yacht club for both power boaters and sailors. It is located on the shore of North Weymouth at the mouth of the Weymouth Fore River adjacent to Wessagussett Beach. From the club members enjoy easy access to boating on the South Shore including Quincy Bay, Boston Harbor, Hingham Bay, World’s End and the Back and Fore Rivers.

It was beautiful and gave me so many opportunities for amazing pictures.

All of the staff were extremely attentive and made sure my assistant and I had everything we needed throughout the day.

There was so much love and laughter throughout the day. It was my pleasure to be a part of this joyous occasion.

Congratulations Meaghan and Adam!

Harvard Business School Engagement Session in Cambridge, MA | Julisa and Stephen

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Julisa and Stephen’s engagement photographs on a chilly rainy afternoon, but we had a great time doing it.

Julisa and Stephen recently got engaged.

This loving couple has been together for several years.

This couple was very easy to photograph and their location choice paired perfectly with their first look.

They both attended Harvard Business School, which is why having the shoot there was perfect.

We had a great time walking around the campus despite the weather. We even took some time to take some fun photos of Julisa being carried away by the wind in her umbrella.

Harvard is the oldest institution of higher education in the United States. This amazing school came to be in 1636. These are roughly 2400 staff members. 

Congratulation Julisa and Stephen
