February 23, 2010 I still LOVE this photo of Julia and Andrew. It takes my breath away. And it shows their real personalities, which brings a flood of happy memories back from their wedding day.

I photographed Anita’s wedding at their private residence in Palos Verdes, CA this past summer. What’s extra-special is that I photographed her sister Suzy’s wedding in the same house a few months prior. Someday I hope to photograph Bijan’s wedding as well, but he probably has a few years since he just started college this year. All three siblings are extremely close, and a delight to know. You should see them gang dance with the rest of their family on the dance floor!
I’m still secretly hoping for a bridal session with both Anita and Suzy sometime this year. They inspire me.

I am so happy for Erica and Adam to have their little wedding book! This press-printed book measures 5×5, fits nicely in a bag or purse, and is just large enough to show off their wedding photos perfectly. Delightful!

January 12, 2010 It’s been difficult to get much work done since we moved out of the studio and away from Massachusetts, but things are slowly settling in for the final few steps for 2010 wedding projects.
One of my favorite items that has to sit in the “slow cooker” is a film project — after the roll is finished, I have to mail in the film and then WAIT to get the developed and scanned work back from my lab. In our digital culture, it’s a nice little pause in the worklflow that reminds me not everything is – or should be – instant.
Kristen and Fred worked a lot of portrait time into their wedding day, which was nice and sunny — we were able to get some charming, delightful analog images using film in holga cameras.
I especially love the “mistake” images from the holga 120 – I didn’t roll the film enough between frames so some of the frames overlap for a cool partial double exposure effect.
To see some more, check out the full set here. (online through 02/2010)

January 7, 2010 For a truly original idea, consider the interactive art project Shawn and Owen Fowler had loved ones participate in their Port Ludlow, WA wedding. A friend sketched a drawing of three flowers on a canvas and then drew a grid over it, dividing the picture into symmetrical squares – one for every guest attending. During the reception, they propped the canvas on an easel on a table with acrylic paints and brushes (all a wedding gift from the artist), and asked family and friends to each fill in one box, then sign the sides. “Guests loved it!” says Shawn. “And now we all have a really special painting on our living room wall.”

December 10, 2009 I’ve spent the last 10 hours printing discs and preparing packages. This weekend we’re packing up the office and closing up shop for the year.
Here’s an image from an engagement session in 2007. I think this photo actually changed the way I shoot – it was a breakthrough moment that taught me about light, shadows, and silhouettes (which became my signature shot in forthcoming years).
