Sarah and Derek hired me for their 2012 destination wedding in Newport at Belle Mer. Since I was hired over the phone, I had the pleasure of meeting them for the first time just recently. Working with them in the North End and waterfront was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about them as a couple. It’s always nice walking around my old neighborhood and seeing how it has transformed since the Big Dig. The night was quite warm and we even made a quick stop for refreshments.

I can’t wait to document the story of their Belle Mer wedding!

Heather & Mark aren’t afraid of the dark. Before they traveled to the city from Michigan, they looked into hiring a professional photographer for a shoot for their anniversary. They had planned to arrive late into the city and I suggested a night time shoot since I love how the colors turn out in low light especially when I opt to not use a flash. There are certainly challenges when shooting with available light at night but the results are always unique.

I had met Eynat and Ryan earlier this year when they were putting together details for their autumn Seaport Hotel wedding. During our meeting, I saw that they had a notably great connection together. When they decided to hire me as their wedding photographer, I was beyond thrilled because they seemed like such a cool couple. We met one night for a shoot in a neighborhood that both they had lived in together and I had lived in at various points over the last 10 or so years. We showed each other bits of “our” neighborhood that were significant and personal as we walked down the narrow and compact streets famed for shops and aromas that mimic life in a European village. We met at their old apartment’s red door in North Square and strolled through the streets. We stopped for laughs and stopped tThey sipped a shared bottle of root beer through red and white paper straws at the Prado, stopped for a moment at one of the wharfs, and went for a splash at the new Greenway. Part of me feels like I crashed the perfect date!
