Being a wedding photographer for as long as I have, you cannot help but pick up on the things that make a good relationship and the things that make a great one. When thinking about what to write for Rob and Michaela’s Saphire Estate wedding, the first thing that comes to mind is humor. So, I decided to …

It’s been said time and time again that the best things come to those who wait. And while this old adage may be true with some things, most would argue that waiting out the weather in New England, especially on your wedding day, can be risky business. Well James and Monique are not most people. After one of the …

One of the great advantages of being a wedding photographer is getting to meet and work with really fun couples, like Eric and Caroline. Anyone I have photographed at a wedding will tell you I’m more than just a little on the fast side. This can lead to some interesting misinterpretations of the direction I’m giving my …

I really enjoy working with a couple who are themselves in the creative field. They really have a deep appreciation for what it takes to get some truly awe inspiring wedding photography. Take, for instance, Todd and Rachel. Rachel being a videographer understood not only what it means to get the shot, but was willing …

What better place to have the perfect wedding on the perfect day than at the incredible Saphire Estate in Sharon, MA? There are few weddings where everything comes together perfectly. One thing remains certain, the staff at Saphire Estate know how to make that happen. From getting ready to the last dance, Will and Lacal had the …
As the birth place of the nation, Massachusetts loves to celebrate the Fourth of July. It is also a great time to have a wedding. The weather in New England is warm and everyone is in the mood for a celebration. So for Steven and Kristina, the private beach at Lake Pearl in Wrentha, MA …

It was the eleventh hour before Dimitre and Jessica decided to move their outdoor wedding at the Saphire Estate inside. No one can blame them for wanting to hold off until the very last minute, especially with the beautiful courtyard the venue is so well known for. But the day started with a downpour, and the …

Every wedding has their hiccups. With as much time, care, and emotions invested in every wedding, sometimes these hiccups can be traumatic for a couple who only wants to share the prefect day with their perfect person. Having been a wedding photographer for almost 20 years now, I have learned that what is perceived as wedding day trauma often …

It makes my job as a photojournalistic wedding photographer much easier when working with a couple that is genuinely having a good time. This always shows through in the images I create. I’m going to come right out and say it: I love shooting at the Willowdale Estates in Topsfield, MA. There’s something interesting to …

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 …

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. As a photojournalistic wedding photographer, I’m use to expecting the unexpected, but with Mike and Serena’s Harrington Farm wedding in Princeton, MA, luck …
Wedding photography can be very unique from other fields of photography.

It is always friends and family who reveal …

What binds a couple? What is it that makes two people so completely compatible that they cannot imagine life without each other? The answers one commonly hears are the cliche core values, and of course trust, intimacy, and honesty. In the case of Mike and Sara, their mutual bond would be that of a post …

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 …
