I know I’ve said this a few times already but honestly I still can’t believe it. Every time I go to a wedding it amazes how nice everyone is. I swear I hadn’t even introduced myself to Derek’s Groomsmen before they were already offering me a seat and a beer as they hung outside on this sweltering Saturday afternoon. I knew right away we’d get along. Its probably a name thing!! The whole family laughed and jeered Derek all afternoon as he prepared for his wedding. I guess it helps that his brothers had already been through this before. They are the type of family you can tell how very tight knit and loving they are the moment you step in the door.

Regatta Place Wedding: Art and Kate
Newport RI is a place that I honestly can’t say I had ever visited before I started getting into wedding photography. Living in Boston for the better part of 12 years now and the fact that Newport is only an hour and a half you would think I would have been more. Its such a beautiful area. I can’t even count how many times I’ve visited Providence but never Newport. If you’ve never been you HAVE to visit. It’s awesome!
For this wedding the groomsmen and brides maids were getting ready in the fabulous Villa One Twenty which is a boutique hotel they had rented. Per usual protocol I was with the guy as they got ready while Molly was with the ladies.
On to the photos!!!
Publick House Inn Wedding : Mark and Julie
Being a second shooter, whenever I arrive at a wedding with Molly I never know what to expect. The schedule is already planned out and the details are formalized. I’m expected to show up, meet the couple (usually the groom first) on the biggest day of their life and be ready to shove a camera directly in their face. This day was no different than any other. I arrive on location and run into Molly who is on her way into the venue – The Publick House Inn in Sturbridge, MA. We met the guys at the bar and head our separate ways. Myself with the groom and Molly with the bride.
This particular day was the first time I’ve hung out with the groom alone. Usually all the groomsmen are hanging around “preparing” for wedding (read: consuming adult beverages and torturing the groom as much as possible). This time I hung out with Mark for an hour and a half before the wedding.
Atlantic Beach Club Wedding – Meghan & Lou
Another wedding second shooting for Molly of Molly Annes Photo’s. This time we were shooting Meghan & Lou wedding on a perfect day at the Atlantic Beach Club in Newport, RI. Per usual I was with the guys in the hotel room as they got ready while Molly was with the girls. We then headed to the venue to get some group shots on the beach before the ceremony and reception.
I guess I can say from now on I know I’m going to be at a fun wedding when there is a dance party on the floor as soon as the wedding party introductions are over. There were so many incredible pictures from this wedding it was almost impossible to narrow it down for the purposes of a blog. That’s why this wedding happened a month ago and I’m just getting around to blogging it now.
Westford Inn Wedding Photography – Julie and Steve
Another weekend, another wedding. Again second shooting for Molly of  Molly Anne Photography. Molly blogged the best of the picture here.  I met Steve at his parents house in Waltham after a quick drive through tour of my alma mater, Bentley College. Its really crazy how much things can change in just a few years. I shot some photo’s of Steve and the groomsmen around Steve’s house as they prepared before heading over to the ceremony at the Westford United Methodist Church. After the ceremony we went to a wonderful location in the middle of a field to take some bridal party pictures before heading to the reception at the Westford Inn. Congrats Steve and Julie!!
Tupper Manor Wedding Photography – Mark & Nicole
Kicking off the 2012 wedding season with my first blog post! The wedding was located at Tupper Manor in Beverly, MA. I was second shooting for the fabulous Molly of Molly Anne Photography. We shot this venue last year together so we were both fairly familiar with it at this point. They do a fantastic job there and can setup the venue in a variety of different layouts depending on what the client desires. As per normal protocol, I was with the guys in the pool room while Molly worked with the ladies as they prepared. We then came together for the first look followed by some set group and individual shots before the ceremony and reception.
Chris and Sara Elizabeth Park Wedding
Here are the rest of the blog images from Chris and Sarah’s Elizabeth Park Wedding where I was second shooting for the fabulous Molly Anne again. I spent most of my morning shooting the guys while Molly covered the ladies as they got ready at the brides house. This was such a fun wedding!! and to say that the rose garden was anything less than spectacular would be an understatement. It was such an incredible place to shoot.
Chris and Sara – Elizabeth Park
More photos coming but this was one of my favorites of the night. All afternoon it looked like it was going to rain but the storm held off and the weather ended up being lovely. This is 2 photos composed together which was necessary to capture the detail in both the sky and the couple without the sky being blown out or the couple appearing completely dark.
10-01-11 Brianne and James – Tupper Manor
A few days ago I was lucky to have the opportunity to be an assistant shooter for the extremely talented Molly of Molly Anne Photography. I had originally emailed Molly about my interest in breaking into wedding photography with a few questions about how to get started. She immediately emailed me back saying that I could come be an assistant shooter at a wedding she had coming up at the Tupper Manor in Beverly, MA just to gain some experience. The wedding was absolutely wonderful and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer couple to be given the opportunity to shoot!!
