Remember that one time I went to Miami and second shot with Josh Behan? Josh is one of my favorite wedding photographers anywhere and seeing how he works and just getting to hang out with him for the weekend was a great pleasure. Getting to know Georgia and Eric and their families was also a […]
When I walked into Matt’s room at the Hotel Marlowe his dad asked if I was the rabbi. Maybe it was my beard. Or maybe he picked up on my Jewish ancestry. Or most likely he was just being funny. Everyone had a really fun and playful banter that day. Beth and Matt were such […]
Patrick and Chad traveled up from Virginia to marry in Massachusetts. They are looking forward to planning a party with friends and family back home but folded their ceremony and honeymoon into one for something more intimate, and less stressful, than the traditional wedding. Bearing witness to their commitment and getting to hang out with […]
Erin and Jason met at a Fall River city council meeting. They love their city, friends describe them as champions of the underdog and they are two of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. I experienced their kindness first hand, but over-hearing stories their friends told painted a descriptive picture of their generosity and compassion. […]
Two weeks ago The Wall Street Journal sent me to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital to visit with victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. I met Beth Roche who watched her daughter cross the finish line just before the first blast severely damaged her left leg. Beth is hoping she’ll be able to go home soon, but […]
I met Caitlin and Courtland for the first time at the engagement session. I’m always amazed how after a few hours two strangers feel much more like friends. Starting with drinks and ending with sore feet is a great way to get to know people. Visiting the locations significant to a college courtship also helps. […]
Tyler wasn’t sure if the new wedding ring would affect his guitar playing. He serenaded Kate at their reception and based on Kate’s happy tears I’m guessing it didn’t make much a difference. The sky was blue and there was a comfortable chill in the air that day. The distance between the church and their […]
Our nephew Jacobi is learning to spell. He definitely knows his letters. With a little help he was able to write everyone’s name at our Mother’s Day bar-b-que on Sunday. He was even able to write C-H-A-N-N-I-N-G. You can see it just below his toes. And his hand-writing is almost as good as mine.
Shannon told Jason she was going to make her own dress. She even had a busted-up decoy hanging in the closet. She would occasionally talk about how difficult it is to make your own gown, and in the mean time she had selected a beautiful (professionally-made) dress to surprise him with at the alter. But […]
Zev contacted me well in advance to invite Brooke and I to his and Maureen’s Mexico wedding. Zev is also a wedding photographer (a very talented one) and knows our calendars fill up quickly. He also specifically told me not to bring my camera. I appreciate the sentiment, but I promptly ignored him. However, I […]
