Josh and Jennifer

Josh and Jennifer were married on February 16th at Cambridge Golf Club. They were an amazing couple and even braved the cold and what was left of the ice storm to take most of their photos outside. Since they were having an evening ceremony, they decided to see each other before the wedding. All Josh could say was WOW! Jennifer was a stunning bride and Josh was just stunned! My friend Matt tagged along as a 2nd photographer that day and got some great candids. Below are some of my favorite images from thier day from myself and Matt. You may visit Josh and Jennifer's website to view the rest of their wedding day images which will be online for the next 12 weeks.

The Wrong Side of the Camera

It seems that I have gotten so used to being behind the camera that I sometimes forget to get in front of it. I was needing a new picture for my website and my friend Matt volunteered to take them for me. Since Andrew was out of school on Monday, he got to tag along and be in some of the photos. He had a blast playing with my new D200. It took him about 5 minutes to burn up the batteries and nearly fill up a card. I had the shutter set on continuous, which means that once he found it, all we heard was cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-cl-ick! Anyway, here are some of my favorites from our session:

He finally figured out how it works!

They're Here....Finao Samples

I received my new Finao sample albums just before Super Bride Sunday and they were the big hit at my booth. These albums are included in the Contemporary Collection and the Premiere Collection as a 10x10 and 12x12, respectively. The leathers are so awesome to touch with so much texture and color...YUMMY!

So many colors...so little time!


Here is the 10x10 Contemporary Album in Sagebrush Lizard and Mauvelous Leathers:




Here is the 8x8 Parent Album in Bank Heist and Biker Chick leathers:




And finally, the 5x5 Parent Album in Ipanema:




Signature Art Album

Another new product that was introduced last year is the Signature Art Album. I apologize that I am just now getting around to posting images of it. This album is not included in any of the wedding packages but may be added to any package for an additional fee. This is a fine art book which is printed on matte finish fine art paper and is custom designed just for your wedding. It has a wrap around photo cover that matches the printing on the front of the book.



New Proof Magazine Covers

The company that makes my Proof Magazines just started offering photo covers. Beginning in November 2007, every wedding package will include a custom cover for their proof magazine.

Engagement Guest Book

Last summer we introduced our new Engagement Guest Book and it has been a big hit! Here are some pics of one of my new sample books just to refresh your memory. If you are planning to have an Engagement Session this Spring, book early so that I will have time to design your book.



New Parent Albums

I am excited to introduce our new line of Parent Albums. These have replaced the matted parent albums that I used to offer that included 4x5 or 5x7 prints. These new albums are very nice! They are a flush-mounted album with custom pages so that all the pictures remain upright. You really must see these to appreciate them. AND they come in more fabrics and colors that I could list! You can also order these with metallic prints or matte prints.

Here are all the colors/fabrics:

This is the 5x5 Album in Garbo w/metallic prints:



Here is the 8x8 Album in Mink w/matte prints:

Super Bride Sunday

This was my first appearance at Super Bride and I must say, WOW! I have never seen so many brides in one place. It was a great show and I talked to many potential clients and even booked a wedding the day after. I enjoyed meeting everyone and am hoping that my phone will be ringing off the hook in the coming weeks. My new Finao albums were a very hot item in my booth! I shared a booth with Cottonwood Center so if you are looking for a reception venue, check out their website.

Here are a couple of pics of my booth:
