Well, it’s unofficially the end of summer. We’ve had 8 fantastic weddings in 2010- and we’re looking forward to 12 more in the fall and winter!

Why I love this photo: Marshfield Engagement Shoot
I love this photo for a bunch of reasons, and the biggest is because Andrea & Corey were super nervous about having their photo taken and here they look so relaxed. (Engagement shoots are a great idea if you’re not a fan of having your photo taken. By the end, both Andrea & Corey agreed that they felt better about the idea of us coming and stalking them on their wedding day!)
I also love the light. Different times of day yield different colors of light, and here, right before sunset, is really beautiful golden/pink sunlight.
I love how they’re posed. They were looking at me for a straight-on shot (and that must be why they’re laughing- I’m pretty funny! haha), and Jesse snagged this shot from the side. They’re not “camera-aware” and it looks so natural. This is why it’s great to have two photographers- they now have one shot of them looking at the camera, and one shot of them laughing from the side.
I love the exposure. When taking photos, Jesse and I shoot in all manual mode. We like to have complete control over how the photo’s going to look. Jesse had the option of shooting with a flash and the sky would have been blue and everything would have been darker. But I love this more… it’s light, it’s airy and summery… it’s a fun, warm, “artsy” photo. In short, Jesse is a genius.

Liberty Hotel Engagement
Umm, how hot are Mandi and Jay? I think this photo gives a huge hint about how awesome their Halloween wedding will be…
I think this looks so gothic. It's so different and awesome!
There are worse things than rain
In honor of the 40 days of flooding we’ve had lately (ok, I might be a bit dramatic with that), I’ve been remembering rainy day weddings. Before I got married, having rain on my wedding day seemed like the worst thing ever. It actually rained the entire week of my wedding except Friday, the big day. So by the time Friday had rolled around, I was getting used to the idea.
If you’re having a Boston wedding, especially in September, there are some good chances of it raining on at least one Saturday. And that Saturday might be yours 
A really good perk of rainy or overcast days is that the sun isn’t so bright- and there are less shadows to contend with while photographing. Notice how perfectly everyone is lit in the photos below.
Jesse and I guarantee that you will have awesome wedding photos even if it’s a deluge. In fact, if you’re game, we’ll still go outside! Here’s some proof:
Adam and Erin got married in Scituate because of it's beautiful sea-side location. No worries- we bring umbrellas!
Kristen and Matt got married during a hurricane! So Jesse held the umbrella above them and I got in close. At least during rainy wedding days, the sky looks amazing.
This is the quintessential rain photo for us- Jesse held the umbrella, ran out of the shot while I took the photo, then ran back in. And Kristen and Matt still got that amazing shot of the country location that they loved!
Heather and Dave were troopers with the umbrella, and they stayed outside long enough for a break in the rain so we got some non-umbrella shots too.
Rain couldn't make Michelle and Craig stop smiling for one second! While it was torrential, we still got them leaving the church... and their formals were taken on the porch of the Pine Hills Golf Club, not a shabby plan b.
Sarah and Mike planned an amazing outside ceremony at Elm Bank in Wellesley and weren't about to let rain ruin it. I think the umbrellas add a cool colorful vibe here!
after standing outside for the ceremony what was another half hour for portraits? Elm Bank is so gorgeous that Sarah & Mike were determined to use the grounds!
Jack & Jes: Details from the Langham Hotel Wedding
Hi all! I don’t often do posts just about details, but I couldn’t resist with Jack & Jes’s black and white vintage wedding. Jack and Jes are both artists (in fact, you can see some of Jack’s work here: http://www.myartspace.com/jackohearn/) and while I am sure they had lots of creative ideas for the wedding, they chose a very simple black and white pallet. This way, their elegant details complemented the Langham Hotel, which in and of itself is unique and full of style.

the invitations had a pale green to complement the black and white theme
Jes had an amazing hair piece from sib designs
they also had a unique guestbook idea: little cards and a drawer to put them in
I love the hobnail black glass vase!
the light green hydrangea adds just a touch of color to the all white flowers

Classic beauty, romance, and a whole lotta fun!
Where? Harrington Farm in Princeton, MA

I love this little detail and how it shows off Jes's dress
the Langham is such a unique space. They were inside, but literally surrounded by windows
the room for the cocktail hour. The ceiling was amazing, and we loved the photos of historical figures on the walls.
There were all these delicate details... I can't post them all, but they were stunning. Vintage-y and classy
this is the "guest book" table... guest wrote notes and put them in the drawer.
the decor in the room matched their style completely
Aren't the flowers elegant?! Jes couldn't say enough wonderful things about Megan at The Singing Flower
the facade of the Langham at dusk
I love Jes's face in this one. Don't worry, they were nice to each other and only a little mess was made 
Seriously?!
I love when couples have a chance to actually dance together (outside the first dance, of course). Jes and Jack totally partied.
Patrick really gets the party going... he and Jack worked together on the playlist so they got exactly what music they wanted!
We don't do a ton of garter/bouquet action anymore, but every once in a while we see something hysterical like this.
Boston Boudoir- K’s studio shoot
I was excited for this boudoir shoot for a few reasons: One, K is the best friend of S, who I shot before her wedding a few months ago. And S was one of the nicest people ever! Secondly, this was my first shoot in my new studio! We worked really hard to get the space “boudoir ready” and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out.
I think that everyone who comes to the studio needs to bring a hot pink outfit for our lime green couch.
