Photography Challenge Week | Day Two | Manchester Street Photography and Self-Portraits
Today I wanted to take some self-portraits, but I wasn’t really getting what I wanted. It’s rather frustrating being on both sides of the camera, at the same time, but I still ended up with a few keepers. Then I wandered the streets of Manchester for a while and got a nice collection of street photos. I did spend much of today planning photoshoots for the rest of the week and I’m so excited to share those, so look out for more coming soon!
Photography Challenge Week | Day One | Hampton Beach Street Photography
I decided to challenge myself to completing, and sharing, one photography project everyday this week, and tonight I went for a walk with Ripley, and my camera, along Hampton Beach during a cloudy golden hour. For about an hour we wandered up the beach searching for interesting photo opportunities. I’ve gotta say, I’m really happy with this warm-up act and excited to share more throughout the week.
Mikayla and Stephen’s Autumn Wedding at Castleton in Windham, NH | Fall Wedding Photography
I knew that Mikayla and Stephen’s wedding was going to be a special day during their engagement session. They barely needed to warm-up to the camera and their passion was easy to capture. Even though it was rainy on their wedding day, their love continued to shine bright. Their wedding at Castleton Banquet & Conference Center remains one of my favorites of 2024, regardless of the weather.
Sunset Engagement Session on Wingaersheek Beach | Golden Hour Engagement Photography
Samantha and Nick’s engagement session was a few years ago now, but the sunset is still one of my favorites to look back on. We met at the gorgeous Wingaersheek Beach, in Gloucester, MA, and it was perfect location for their engagement photos. We wandered up and down the beach during golden hour taking fun and romantic photos, from climbing on rocks and sharing a bottle of champagne, to walking, hand-in-hand, towards a breathtaking sunset.
Senior Portraits at Crane Beach in Ipswich, MA | Golden Hour Beach Portraits
For this senior portrait session I headed to Crane Beach in Ipswich, MA. We met up on a gorgeous summer evening, just before golden hour, and we were lucky enough to have incredible light. Most beaches are perfect for senior portraits, but Crane Beach was exceptionally beautiful and we were able to get some incredible photos without walking too far from the car. I’ll definitely be returning for another photoshoot soon! Reach out to book your session today if you’re interested in a portrait or engagement session at Crane Beach.
Celebrating Dani’s Life | 10 Years of Love, Laughter, and Adventures
I adopted Dani in June of 2014, when she was only 12 weeks old, from the North East Animal Shelter, in Salem, MA. I walked down the aisle of kennels, passing by plenty of great dogs, but as I approached the last kennel my heart nearly skipped a beat. There she was. Sitting in the middle of her kennel, looking up at me, as though she had been waiting just for me. After signing some paperwork, we headed home and I officially began the best chapter of my life.
Sheridan and Shail’s Enchanting Autumn Wedding at Searles Chapel in Windham, NH
Sheridan and Shail’s enchanting wedding was special for many reasons, but I have a personal connection to their wedding because my wife and I got married at Searles Chapel in Windham, NH., as well. Ever since my wedding I had been hoping to photograph a wedding there myself, and that’s why I was so excited when they reached out. Searles Chapel is a quaint, yet breathtaking, place to get married. The chapel resembles a storybook castle and will make any wedding feel like a fairytale.
She Said “Yes!” | Proposal and Engagement Photography at Millennium Park in Boston
There’s something special about photographing a proposal. It’s like planning for the ultimate surprise. I had begun planning this proposal after Kenny and his future mother-in-law reached out. It was very important for them to have their proposal professionally photographed because it was something Jackie had expressed, many times, and Kenny listened. I arrived at Millennium Park, in Boston, about an hour early, with my wife Hannah, to scout out the area and identify the spot Kenny was planning on dropping to one knee. After exploring the park for some time, I got the text that they were parked and making their way to the bridge where he was going to propose. Kenny and I locked eyes as they passed, but Jackie had no idea her life was about to change. Once they reached the bridge, I readied my camera and watched as the magic happened before our eyes.
Fall Wedding Photography at Locke Falls Farm in Wonalancet, NH | Bride and Groom’s Intimate and Private Moments On Their Wedding Day | First Look, Private Vow Reading, and Golden Hour Portraits
Every wedding, whether it’s big or small, is full of love, not just for the couple getting married, but also from close family and friends, and they are all going to be fighting for the bride and groom’s attention the entire day. Even though your wedding day is supposed to be about the love you have for the person you’re marrying, they’ll most likely be the person you spend the least amount of time with on your special day. That’s why I always insist on my couples spending the most amount of time they can together and have those moments be truly special. There’s not a ton of time most wedding days, but there are some magical moments throughout the day that will give you that quality time with your bride or groom.
Incredible Fall Wedding at the Riverwalk Resort at Loon Mountain | Fall Wedding Photography in Lincoln, New Hampshire
There’s really nothing like a fall wedding, especially in New England. The auburn and golden trees create truly stunning backdrops and the crisp fall air makes everyone want to fall in love. Julie and Mike got married at The Riverwalk Resort at Loon Mountain and their special day was absolutely magical. With the gorgeous weather they were able to have their ceremony at the base of the mountain, with the famous fall foliage and the bright sun shining down on the happy couple.
