Opening Day

March 16, 2009 – 12:29 pm

Saturday was opening day for my wedding season. The first one of the year always gives me butterflies in the stomach – is all my equipment really ready, have I forgotten anything, do I still remember how to shoot a wedding! It’s like being a kid and shooting your first wedding all over again.
Well, the equipment was fine, I was fine, the bride and groom…well they were nothing short of awesome. Judy and Darren were married in a small ceremony in Southern Massachusetts, followed a couple of hours later by a great reception. In between we stopped by a beach for photos.( they are really hardy souls – it may have been sunny but the wind was blowing and it was a very chilly New England not-quite-Spring day. After the beach we visited a couple of neat old New England buildings to shoot more before finally bowing to the temperature of the day.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day. 3-14-09 JUDY AND DARREN

Julie and Nick

March 12, 2009 – 8:45 pm

Today I photographed Julie and Nick Rost – Julie is about two weeks from giving birth to their first child – although Axel, their 4 month old puppy may well be considered their first child! Doing this photo session was probably a big leap for Dr. Nick ( he’s a remarkable chiropracter with an incredible gentle touch at Ken George and Associates of Stratham, (http://www.drkengeorge.com/healing_center.html). He’s a kind of shy guy who is way more comfortable in the background than being photographed. Julie, on the other hand, was so comfortable with the process you would have sworn she was a model! And Axel…well this dog is a photographer’s dream – and Dr. Nick took him out for a very long run before the photo shoot which I suspect helped to calm him as well.

So we played with the light in their home, added some sunshine with a gelled strobe and here’s some photos from the shoot – next, shooting the newborn. 3-12-09 NICK AND JULIE ROST
