“Get Here” – Allison & Michael are married at the BHH, Boston, Mass.
Oleta Adams sings her hit "Get Here" to a stunned audience.
It’s not every wedding that an international recording star is hired for a set but that just shows you the clout and right amount of lady luck that Allison and Michael have going for them–a true Boston power couple, these two know how to throw a party. Since I was obviously clued in ahead of time to the surprise so I could be ready, Allison, as a present to her guy, grabbed the mic and introduced American Soul and Jazz singer, Oleta Adams, to the gushing audience. Basically, if you know Anita Baker you know Oleta Adams but for those of you out there saying, who? Give her a listen right here:
I know you’ve heard that song but like myself many of you may have first heard Oleta Adams like this:
Pretty cool headliner for a wedding of musical and dance performances. Michael got it all rolling with a friend of his singing a song she wrote especially for them. It was just the three of them and me and Chris floating in the distance capturing the moment.
On the dock of the Harbor Hotel
It was a great night of dance and musical performances. Michael intimated to me that he’d like to really enjoy his day and asked that I limit the photos to mainly documentary style as we captured them in some great natural moments.
We all know what he's thinking.
Dancing the night away.
The day started out beautiful and just got better and better. The BHH staff took care of all the details and I was greatly assisted by my incredible senior associate photog, Chris Gagne, and Johnny-on-the-spot equipment lugger super tech, Mark Davis. My staff and all the others working that day made is so incredibly easy for me to do my job and I thank them one and all.
Finally–to a great couple who really know how to bring it all together!
Postcard perfect day!
