Sarah and Wael celebrated their union in one of their favorite places: Martha’s Vineyard. Their afternoon ceremony was held at the historic Whaling Church in Edgartown, and the reception was at Atria just down the street. I loved their favors — tulip bulbs wrapped in tulle, with wry quotes about marriage adorning the tags.
I was back at Mount Hope Farm on the 16th for Hermine and Mike’s wedding; the ceremony was a beautiful Armenian Apostolic service in Providence. At Mount Hope, guests were greeted with a sweeping view of the Mount Hope Bridge and by the beautiful reception flowers and details, all lovingly coordinated by Hermine. As the lovely sunset faded above the ocean, the lanterns in the tent swayed above the happy couple and their guests as they danced the night away…
Samantha and Neil’s love has deep roots — literally. They own a landscape design business, and they imbued their wedding with their love of the natural world. Mount Hope Farm was an ideal setting for their vows, with lovely open fields and mossy stone walls. The hazy afternoon sun set into a mellow and beautiful evening, perfectly suited to these newlyweds…
Elyse & Don met as performers in the comedy troupe ‘Improv Boston’. They’re very funny people, and they invited lots of past and present members of Improv Boston, so it was a very entertaining night at the Veronique Ballroom! Elyse & Don named their tables after favorite comedians, and their favors were fake moustaches, which were a big hit with the guests…
I was thrilled to learn that I recently earned top spots in two recent contests. A detail shot from a July wedding won 2nd place in the Details category of the WPJA Summer 2006 contest, and one of my favorite shots took the top spot in the AGWPJA summer contest.
I’m humbled and honored to be listed alongside people whose work I admire so greatly, some of the most talented people working in wedding photography today.
