As I snapped away I chanted. Shoulder to shoulder with like-minded brethren under a cloudy night’s sky I thought. I thought about what really matters. Was it important that I recognized this moment as our annual moment of rebirth or that it “occurs exactly when the axial tilt of a planet’s polar hemisphere is farthest away from the star that it [...]
I wanted to take opportunity to promote a wonderful cause that does so much good. I’ve been lucky enough to witness it first hand for the past 6 years and we are headed back this March to continue our partnership. The God’s Child Project is the NGO (non-governmental organization) that we work with for our Visual [...]
” A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!” -Oliver Wendell Holmes The busy of Life takes over us sometimes and blurs the evidence of our true existence. I’ve been searching for something elusive [...]
In ancient Sanskrit Asha means “hope”. While nothing in that ancient language quite captured it for me I felt Pablo Neruda felt it as I do. First in Spanish for me Love on her 40th and then translated for the rest: “Crepusculo marino, en medio de mi vida, las olas como uvas, la soledad del [...]
Last weekend I got engaged again for the first time. It was months in the planning: A trip to Chicago to see Oprah’s last studio show (thank you to our fab client Julie for the tix), a romantic getaway sans kids for the first time in 8 years (dog years at times), and a modest [...]
Asha is the room parent for my daughters classes at Cambridge Montessori School and I don’t know where she finds the time between all she does but one of her duties, so to speak, is to come up with an auction project to raise money for the school. A couple years ago we made this [...]
from Asha: I’ve recently realized that my husband’s workaholism (a new word I just made up) , and the being in three-places-at-the-same-time syndrome have rubbed off on me. Eleven years ago, when I met him, I did not have this much energy, and now, well, let’s just say, I can keep up with him no [...]
Gorgeous model-like bride + awesome late afternoon light from the thin December sun + Gagne more than ably positioning our gelled speedlight = very easy portrait session. Jenn rocked her late Grandmother’s coat for warmth and wow. I’m addicted to the gel these days for daylight shots. Too bad we couldn’t get them both out [...]
When Heather Vaughn from Simply U Events & Proposals called me to see if we’d do a surprise marriage proposal, I started begging her to let us do this. Yep, hiding in the bushes while the hero, Rob, orchestrates a picnic and a ring for our heroine, Tanya. They went to Parlee Farms in Tyngsboro, [...]
Many couples often ask what other types of photography I’m involved in. My first love in photography is documentary style. Working as a photojournalist at Boston Now and attending Glen Cooper’s Reportage field trips in Guatemala have helped craft me into the photographer I am today. This work has been a key factor in making my wedding work what it is today.

There is however another type of photography that inspires me and has had an impact on how I look at wedding photography. Its landscapes.
