engagement photos: romance, trees, & ice cream

Well, technically this was not an “engagement” shoot because these two are already married. They didn’t have a professional photographer at their wedding though, and missed out on the fun and romance of preserving newly-wed bliss. We had a lot of fun in the JP Arboretum, then took a walk down Centre street.

Hello web world! Wedding season sneaked up on me so fast I’ve fallen far behind in blogging. I vow to catch up! Starting with the most recent… Here’s last Saturday’s military wedding at the elegant Tupper Manor in Beverly.

I got to flex my graphic designer muscles recently by completing a logo design for a new custom interior design business, run by the lovely Christina Marie.

I often tell people that getting your picture taken is like getting a hair cut during a transition in life: it can bring out something new you’re feeling or becoming, and put it out there for the world to see and admire.

Portraits often hold foreshadowing of one’s life’s direction that we only recognize looking back years later!

In that vein, I photographed Jessica who just moved to Boston to start a new job. We had a shoot as multifaceted at the young lady herself!

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a high school yoga class. In collaboration with the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, Monument Mountain High School is offering yoga as part of their physical education curriculum, and Harvard researchers are studying the effects.
