Raina & Jeff’s Wedding
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009So I’ve gotta say I was a bit offended when the best man accused me of pandering, because I was wearing my Boston Red Sox cufflinks to the wedding. I’ll have you know that I’ve been a Sox fan since my college days up at Bentley in Waltham, MA! I figured that Raina & Jeff would think it was cool, but I certainly didn’t buy them just to impress a set of clients!
(kidding)
Anyway… You may notice a decidedly Fenway-centric theme running through this set. That is entirely intentional.
I think that two of the most meaningful images for me are the two shots up in the stairwell, taken just after the ceremony. Raina & Jeff had just run up there to stay out of side while the crowds subsided, and those photographs are unscripted and genuine. Another poignant moment occured during Raina’s sister’s toast: Raina’s expression listening to her sister speak is priceless.
As usual, thanks to Kristin Carolan for doing such an amazing job organizing and coordinating!

Jenny & Tim’s Wedding
Thursday, June 11th, 2009I was thrilled to photograph Jenny & Tim’s beautiful wedding this past Saturday. You couldn’t ask for a more friendly or sincere group of people. The feel of the wedding was simple, classic, and vintage. The intimate ceremony was held in Owen’s Chapel Church of Christ in Brentwood, erected back in the 1800′s, and the reception was at Traveler’s Rest Plantation. Tim is a photographer himself, and both he and Jenny had a specific vision for their wedding photography: classic & elegant photojournalism and editorial portraiture.
Kristin Carolan did a superb job coordinating all of the details, and all the other vendors did a great job as well!
Thanks for making me a part of your day guys! It was brutal trying to whittle this set down to this few images!
