Our studio opening celebrations were so much fun. We had a great mix of friends, clients and peers celebrate with us in our new space over the course of a couple of weeks. We were thrilled to have everyone over and just as excited to have completed hanging photographs in the main gallery.
For one of the parties, Abby Brennan of Peaches by Plums provided these amazing flowers.
I could not believe how beautiful they were and the aroma that filled the space was so sweet and inviting. I met Abby while visiting the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, where she works in the catering department. But floral and event design is her dream and passion. It certainly shows.
In order to make the event even more special, we decided to include a showing of our favorite images from the getting ready portion of the wedding day. The show was called "Anticipation." We plan on keeping it up for through the season. All of the photographes were black and white photojournalistic images; we used museum standard matting and simple black frames.
Through the rest of the gallery, we have hung our permanent collection. Some of our favorite photographs from weddings and portrait sessions. Below you see several canvas prints as well as a self-portrait metallic print.
I always love hosting a party because I really enjoy watching the people from different parts of my life intermingle.
Max missed out on all the partying, but he still gets to enjoy the space on a regular basis.
Our new space is between Watertown Square and Newton Corner, about 15 minutes from downtown Boston. Not only do we love the great space, but the location is absolutely perfect for us. We have found it relatively easy to get to Boston as well as points West, North and South. Hooray for convenience!
If you weren’t able to make it and would like to stop by, let us know. We would be happy to show you around.

In honor of the beginning of wedding season and because we are just crazy like that, we decided to give our blog a brand spankin’ new look. Make sure to check out all the ins and outs of this beta version.
The goal was to make the photos front and center and give you lots of ways to find what you are looking for. The first section allows you to catch a glimpse of our most recent posts. You can slide from the first to the second and so on. It is sort of like the front page of a newspaper. And since you can only see one post’s photo, headline and excerpt at a time in that section, the “Recent Work” section shows you the eight most recent lead photos, along with the most recent story on the right, and headlines from 5 prior posts. If you continue down even further, you will see our categories section. This highlights recent articles in our most viewed categories. At the bottom of the page, you can find a tag cloud amongst other ways to search for what you are looking for.
We hope you enjoy all the new features. Let us know if you have suggestions and ideas that would make the blog even easier to access. We would love to hear how we can make it even better. And most importantly, enjoy!

Totally awesome engagement session last weekend. Shelley and Andreas were an absolute blast to work with. When we started brainstorming ideas of where to do the shoot, Shelley and Andreas came up with the idea of Sacco’s Bowl Haven in Somerville. Hooray!!! It was a fabulous idea. Thank you both for thinking outside the box. Dave added the idea of Rosebud Diner and it was an all retro-chic day. Here’s a little sneak peak of the fun we had.

Dave and I were really fortunate to participate in the Gilded Bride event a couple of Sundays ago. This was definitely not your typical bridal show. Not only were there amazing vendors with truly unique products and services, but the set-up was very different from others we have been a part of. One of the things that made it special was the way the fashions were shown off. No runway for this crew. The “brides” and “grooms” mixed and mingled with the crowd. All of the dresses, tuxedos, accessories, and flowers were supplied by vendors at the shows. The looks were unique and exciting.
While I met with brides, grooms and their families, Dave did a mini-fashion session with the models. He had a lot of fun playing with a more fashion-editorial feel. There’s definitely a common thread of sexiness running through the images. Here’s a bit of eye-candy from the photo shoot:
We have so many people to thank for helping make this possible.
To start with, Ally from Polished Wardrobe Advising for sponsoring the event and inviting us to attend. Also thanks to Gilded Boston and the Algonquin Club for sponsoring the event.
A huge thanks to all of the vendors who put together the looks we featured above. They include:
Ties and shirts: 9Tailors
Tuxedos and suits: Evolution of Style
Dresses: Lily and Migs
Flowers: Carolyn Kegler Floral Designs
Hair: Daryl Christopher Salon and Day Spa
Make-up: Maria Capuano for Motives Cosmetics
Porsche: Classic Cars and Byways
And last, but definitely not least, the amazing models. We couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

The Harvard Club in dowtown Boston is a wonderful mix of old world elegance (deep rich woods and leathers) with a touch of modern (vibrant fabrics and large windows encompassing fabulous city views). Two of our friends are getting married there late summer/early fall and I think they have picked a great location.
When you first step off the elevator, you are greeted to a warm and welcoming lobby.
