Fairmont Festivities

After enjoying the beautiful day in the Public Garden, Janette and Wes returned to the Fairmont Copley Plaza for relaxation followed by their wedding reception. And what a celebration it was… the bands’ tunes, Janette’s sisters speech with accompanying slideshow, and the dancing. Of course, I couldn’t stop with that, because we were also able to capture portraits at night on Copley Square and in front of the Boston Public Library. The final treat of the evening were streamers blown into the air drifting down on the couple. Really kind of amazing, actually. So step right into this fairy-tale wedding.

Their pup didn’t get to enjoy the festivities, but waited for them in their suite.

Family portrait.

This was potentially a dangerous cake moment. But fear not, all worked out just fine.

A steamy evening meant so crazy air and light.

Sammy & Co

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:41:17 +0000

Sammy is a super great young lady whose bat mitzvah we photographed this fall. This was so different from my bat mitzvah and so much fun. Not only did she showcase her knowledge and talent during the morning service at the synagogue, she performed two dance routines during the reception and gave a speech about her family and friends during the candlelighting ceremony. Sammy is definitively gifted- full of spark, energy, intelligence and thoughtfulness. We had a wonderful time working with her.

We started our day with family portraits before her bat mitzvah ceremony in Needham.

After the service, Sammy’s guests had lunch at the synagogue. Everyone reconvened that evening at the Blue Hill Country Club in Canton. A few more portraits before the reception….

The party got underway after a fabulous cocktail hour for the adults and mocktail hour for the kids. Then dancing, dancing and more dancing. Sammy’s brother kicked it all off.

Then Sammy made her grand entrance and did her first dance routine with these two professionals. Her theme for the evening was based on Tiffany and Co, so she surprised all of her guests by popping out of a huge Tiffany’s box. And then going right into the dance. Of course the song she danced to was Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend. She looked amazing.

The hora followed. Everyone in the family had a turn in the chair, but Sammy was first.

Sammy and her dad had a special dance all to themselves….

Well, almost. Some of Sammy’s friends busted in about half way through and they kicked it up a notch- this was planned, of course, but a surprise for the guests. Sammy did her second dance number during this portion of the evening.

The end of the evening came faster than anyone could say "Sammy & Company." But it was clear that all of the kids had a great time.
