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

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of stepping outside my wedding photography comfort zone to shoot a very lovely young lady’s bat mitzvah. Jessica celebrated this momentous occasion in great style with her closest friends and family at the beautiful Gibbet Hill in Groton, MA. What a great fortune to have a birthday during …

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.

Wedding photography can be very unique from other fields of photography.

It was especially gratifying, and a little serendipitous, to have met Marco and Stephanie, and ultimately photograph their wedding. Not only are they both alum of my alma mater, Merrimack College, but like me and my wife, they met while going to school there. I definitely had the advantage when it came down to who …

What inspires a photographer to take a shot? Aside from the technical aspects constantly consuming my thoughts as I shoot, the thing that I am always looking to capture, that motivates me to lift the camera and release the shutter, is emotion. As a wedding photographer, my subject is people. What separates people from other inanimate …

I always get excited about photographing Boston weddings. Don’t get me wrong. I get excited about ALL my weddings, but unlike other locations Boston always has something new to offer.

Weather: it’s either a photographer’s best friend or worst enemy. For Dan and Amy’s wedding day, it was the best possible of allies. After a week of rainy weather, the sun was out in all its glory. And thanks to a week’s worth of rain, everything seemed to finally be in bloom. Add in the fact …
