dannette and charles recently tied the knot. they were a very entertaining couple and even had my second shooter and i on the dancefloor (there will be no photos posted of this!) the bride, like many, made it clear that she did not want cake in her face. at this wedding, the groom surprised us all with his own cake smash. what a good sport!
sam and abigail go together like peas and carrots. when i suggested to bring some personality to their engagement shoot they opted to bring along a frisbee and had fun playing a brief game in the park. abigail coordinated the outfits and the blue tied in very nice with the water and sky. i always recommend that my clients both gals and guys wear a matte translucent powder, like l’oreal translucide. it tends to reduce any shine due to sweat and oils on hot, humid days. i will be photographing sam and abigail’s upcoming wedding at the historic stan mansion.

“Heather is our wedding photographer and we instantly connected with her when we met her over the winter. I appreciate how responsive she was in responding to my initial email and flexible in meeting with her. She recently photographed our engagement shoot at the Lakefront, which is included in her wedding packages and she did a great job. Though we had a bit trouble find each other in the massive park, she did not appear frustrated and ensured that we got ample opportunity for pictures in. I liked how she kept us moving around during the photo shoot and made us feel comfortable while getting our picture taken (not something we do everyday). She provided us with our pictures online and on CD almost instantly and we were very pleased with the results. We look forward to our wedding photos in a couple months.”
andy and sara contacted me to photograph their upcoming beach wedding. we met this week for a shoot on the same elevated tracks that matt & karen suggested for their own shoot. i am a big fan of using atypical locations for engagement shoots. see you in a month andy and sara!
here is a wedding with a great couple from vermont. gretchen and dave were married at the follen community church in lexington. the ceremony was in an octagonal and even had readings from the little prince. here was ample natural light, lots of rich woodwork, and the benches were in a crescent-shape towards the altar. the reception was held at the lyman estate in waltham where the couple made great use of outdoor tented dining followed by dancing in the mansion. there were smaller break-out rooms which made this venue a unique and comfortable setting to photograph in. the location is a good example of a federal period country estate, and is part of historic new england.
I was recently hired by Míele USA for a freelance project. Miele is a high-end appliances manufacturer based in Germany that I gained familiarity with though photographing residential architecture for years. Every so often, leading manufacturers make small changes in both the product design and the way they show the product, and I was called upon to document these changes for the company. It was interesting to see the wide range of commercial and residential appliacnes that could be custom fitted for the client or architect.
pouring buckets aside, i got a personal tour of an old university while doing an engagement shoot. the couple had great backup ideas for locations that were significant to them in case of rain. we made use of some great architecture around campus. in just about a month, i will be photographing this couple’s wedding.
little julian came in for another studio shoot
the first shoot with julian was last year. as you can see, he’s a bit older:
i met charlotte back in november when she hired me to photograph her october 2009 wedding. she and her fiance mike made time in their travel schedules to meet for a shoot before their wedding. the hour was full of natural smiles as i followed them around their neighborhood. i’m excited to know that these photographs will most likely make their way around the globe for friends and family to view, since charlotte is originally from singapore.
