I love albums. I love them so much, but I do such a bad job at showing them off! Here’s a recent coffee table album that I made for the studio of Jeanne & Frank’s Cape Wedding at the Borsari Gallery. It’s different from our fashion albums in that it’s thinner (paper pages instead of matte board pages), and has photo covers instead of leather covers. Love it…

Covers are padded canvas and have photos on them

Here you can see the back of the album (top R), the front and back if you spread the album out (bottom R), the spine (bottom L), and a two page spread where the center crease is (top L, and a little peek of our studio in the background!)

A look into the album...

Christina and Steph’s wedding at the Mile Away Restaurant in Milford, NH was well-planned and well-executed… you see, Christina is an event planner, and Steph goes with the flow. A perfect match

I could blab on and on about the day, but honestly, I just want to cut to it and show you the photos already. So I’ll do that instead.

The details
Wedding Coordinator- Christina!
Hairstylist – Meg Fall Peta at Mirabella Salon in Bedford, NH.
Officiant – Fran Dupuis
Florist – Laura Corddry
Cake – The Mile Away Restaurant
Band/DJ – DJ Leah McFly

Check out Steph's custom chuck's with the wedding date on 'em!

To Jesse and me… 7 awesome years.

Every year I re-read the Pablo Neruda sonnet read at our wedding, and every year it means more.

Sonneto XVII

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

OMG- amazing morning… even though there was a threat of rain, we did Jen & Mike’s engagement photos in Wychmere Harbor, Lighthouse Beach, and downtown Chatham this morning!! More to come soon!!

You all know that I’m a self-professed nut about canvas. It’s sort of an obsession; I can’t help but order more and more. Well, I love when I convert someone else…

I recently sent a canvas to Alison & Lon… and these were the kind words I received shortly after from Alison:

“OMG its beauuutifulllll!!! I LOVE the colors ..and that happy husband of mine:) thank u sooo much, it really makes me happy just looking at it!!”

Sometimes it’s hard to pick what to hang on your walls after the wedding; life comes crashing back in so fast after the honeymoon. I’m so happy that this is a daily reminder to A&L of how awesome their wedding day was, and how happy they were (and are!)

We had the pleasure of traveling down to Cancun to photograph R.J and Cindi’s intimate destination wedding this past week.

You can always tell when things are busy around here if the blogging gets a little sparse… here are a couple of shoots I’m working on right now, with a few more to come soon…
