Dan and Jillian’s Wedding at Lake Pearl in Wrentham, MA
Wedding photography can be very unique from other fields of photography.

Just before the rains came Renaissance Golf Club Wedding in Haverhill, MA
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 …

Intimate Wedding at the Ames Free Library and Saphire Estate
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.

A Joyful Venezia Wedding in Boston, MA
Being a photographer, you really get use to experiencing the world through a different lens than others (pun shamelessly intended). You are the perpetual observer.

There is a delicate balance a creative wedding professional must maintain between experience and inspiration. Being familiar with where you are shooting, be it venue or location, can be comforting for the client as you work seemlessly in familiar surroundings.
