Wedding Taj Hotel Boston Massachusetts

Thank you very much Sonal and Raja for choosing me to be your wedding photographer for your wedding in Boston. It was just amazing! Everyone was so nice and there was a never ending supply of opportunities to capture great images. This is one of the reasons I love photographing weddings in Boston and Massachusetts in general over the years: There are so many different types of cultures and nationalities. Having now photographed over a dozen Indian weddings in my career, I’m always excited to create images with such color and beauty. The wedding was held at the Taj Hotel in Boston, MA.

One of my favorite wedding vendors – beautiful invitations from TextStyle Designs

Mindy of TextStyle Designs has been a dear friend of mine for over ten years. And oh yeah, I photographed her wedding over ten years ago as well at the gorgeous Turner Hill in Ipswich Massachusetts. She always amazes me with the stunning invitations her and her design team create. I have been honored to photograph all of her work for her web site. If you want great invitations–wedding, party, or corporate–look no further. She is a true professional and a sweetheart.

I can get used to this. Again, my photography was featured in a magazine. This time, it was a national publication; Flower Magazine. The wedding was held at the wonderful Intercontinental Hotel in Boston. The AMAZING flowers were designed by the flower genius Marc Hall at Winston Flowers.

Wedding Rehearsal in Nantucket Massachusetts

Ashley and I had the privilege of photographing a wedding for a wonderful couple and their great families recently in Nantucket. There were so many killer images that the whole event deserves more than one post. Below are some of my favorite images from the rehearsal the night before the wedding. You would have thought that the rehearsal in the church was the real thing, based on the intense level of love everyone was feeling–and expressing. You can see by the images below that Stefanie and Serge were indeed made for each other. The wedding day post is next.

Wedding at the Hampshire House, Boston Massachusetts

What a great way to officially start off the wedding season. Ashley, my associate photographer, and I had an awesome time photographing Robin and Steve’s wedding this past weekend. They could not have been a nicer couple. As you can tell by the images of Robin above, she has an amazing personality and a great sense of humor (and oh yeah, she is beautiful too). Way to go Steve! The staff at the Hampshire Housein Boston did a fantastic job, hosting the reception. Have a great honeymoon you guys. Enjoy Jamaica!!!

Cool. A few of my images were featured in Nantucket Magazine.

One of the best poems I ever heard at a wedding

Donis — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 23:18:44 +0000

A couple of months ago, I photographed a wonderfully fun wedding for Haley + Andrew. Andrew is a filmmaker from NYC. I am always honored when another creative professional asks me to photograph such an important day in his or her life; it’s quite a compliment. They held their wedding at the beautiful Hamilton Hall in Salem, MA. As always, the manager at Hamilton Hall, Tricia, orchestrated everything perfectly. And the food was soooo good, thanks to Don and his team at Harvest Catering.

Oh yeah, the poem. One of the family members, Chris Henry, read this poem during the night. The guests in the room were nodding their heads and quietly saying, “Yes” under their breath. It was one of those moments that I will never forget. The poem is so simple and true. I felt it needed to be shared, with Chris’ permission, with as many people as possible. Upon asking Chris if I could post the poem on my blog, she informed me that it was her mother, Janet Henry, who had wrote it. Unfortunately, Chris’ mother lost her battle with breast cancer. She requested that anyone who should choose to use the poem in any way, please make a donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Wedding in Nantucket – Stefanie + Serge

Donis — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 23:02:38 +0000

It was the only Saturday in June of this year that it did not rain. Someone was looking out for Stefanie and Serge. First, I have to thank them for choosing me to be their professional wedding photographer for their wedding in Nantucket. It was as much as a vacation as it was a wedding to photograph for Ashley and I. In addition to Stafanie and Serge’s warm and gracious families, I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole Wheldan of Unique Nantucket, a wonderful event planner, and her stellar team of professionals. I made it a point to send her an email, after returning to the mainland, pointing out the fact that her and her team were so organized, calm, and in control; it made everything go so smoothly. Another person I met was Paul Loura, of Brick Park Entertainment. What a killer band!!! From the acoustic Dave Matthews songs to the crazy rock concert like finish, Paul and his band blew me away–and I’m a big music freak! Even after photographing the wedding for ten hours, I was still wired, so Ashley and I went to this really cool bar, The Chicken Box, and saw an amazing funk band, Miss Fairchild. The lead singer was like a white Prince, one of my favorite musicians.

Stef and Serge, thank you very much for having me and Ashley photograph your amazing wedding; it was one of the best weddings of the year!!! I look forward to creating a one of a kind book for both of you.

Wedding at the State Room, Boston Massachusetts

I had the privilege of photographing Linda and Mario’s wedding at the State Room in Boston. They are two of the most genuine people I have ever met, and you can see it in their eyes. Check out the images below to see what I mean. They are just so sincere and fun to be around. Thank you for choosing me to be your Boston wedding photographer. I really appreciate it.

Linda is stunning!

Waiting--prior to the ceremony, which was held at the Harvard Memorial Church.

This is great example of me just observing, being still, finger on the camera button, waiting for the best moment to capture the moment that illustrates all the joy and excitement of a wedding ceremony. After I take an image like this, the adrenaline just shoots through my body. So cool.

The State Room has added a back lit gallery to the entryway to the Great Room. Very cool! I was thrilled to see one of the images I took from Linda and Mario's engagement portrait session in Boston. Yeah, it's the one on the right.

Many times, I just never know if a groom is going to dip a bride during their first dance. You just have to be quick and have really good timing.
