There is something unique about a military wedding, and I really enjoy photographing them when I have an opportunity. I don’t know if it’s the refined military regalia, or working with people who know how to follow direction really well.

Being from New York and working in New England, I am no stranger to hockey.

After photographing her brother’s wedding, and her cousin’s wedding, it seemed a natural fit to photograph Sandra’s Villa wedding, too. I have always enjoyed working with this family in the past, so I was thrilled when she called and I could confirm I was available to work with them again. It was another hot day in July when …

Being a wedding photographer involves so much more than just photography. You have to juggle many, many things, all the while reducing stress, maintaining composure, AND nailing exposure. It is important, too, that you are able to adapt to the individual client, meeting their needs, expectations, and comfort. You are a director, not a dictator. So …

Outdoor weddings can be tricky to photograph. You’re dealing with nature on her terms and her time, with absolutely no room for negotiation. It’s part skill and part luck of the draw.
