Ali and Andrew – Partners for Life

Posted in Engagements

A few months back Ali and Andrew were guests at Linda and Jon’s wedding. I could tell right then and there that they were perfect for each other. A few months later, Andrew made it official and proposed to Ali in a slightly unconventional way. Right after Andrew ordered the ring online, he just couldn’t wait even another minute to propose…even though he didn’t have the ring in hand. So what did Andrew do? He walked out to Ali with his laptop and got down on one knee and proposed with the picture of the ring in tow. A truly modern proposal right? Andrew’s modern proposal was really quite fitting as they are also a very modern couple. The two of them have started their own health and wellness coaching business, Engin Coaching. So Ali and Andrew are real partners for life in every sense of the meaning.

For their engagement shoot they picked out the adorable Coolidge Corner area where they love to go see independent films at the vintage Coolidge Corner Theater. We had tons of fun stopping by their favorite local haunts. In the end I think the cool vibe of the Theater rubbed off on me while I was processing their images. My favorites from the day feel like screen grabs from a movie to me.

Kelli and Andi’s Elopement at the Samuel Sewall Inn

Posted in Weddings

I am always honored when a couple asks me to photograph their wedding. To be part of a couple’s incredibly special day is so amazing. Each and every wedding leaves a beautiful indelible mark on my memory. Usually I’m part of an army of wedding vendors along with friends and family that help to make the day. In the case of Kelli and Andi’s elopement at the Samuel Sewall Inn, it was the Justice of the Peace and me, and the intimacy of the ceremony made the experience even more special for me.

At first I was a bit nervous as it was the first same-sex wedding I would be covering and the girls had flown in from Colorado, so the first time I met them was the day of the ceremony. Any jitters I had quickly left upon meeting Andi and Kelli since they were so sweet and welcoming. They felt more like old friends than brand new clients. Susan Wilson officiated a touching ceremony in their room at the Samuel Sewall Inn, which the girls decorated with a lovely bouquet. Kelli could hardly contain her excitement during the ceremony, by the end she was bouncing in place in anticipation of their first kiss as a married couple. Their joy was palpable and I couldn’t hold back the tears. It was so wonderful to see a couple so genuinely thrilled to be married. I can still hear Kelli saying to Andi, “You are my wifey now! I have a WIFEY NOW!” Andi’s ear to ear smile was contagious. After the ceremony we went outside for a quick shoot in the surprisingly beautiful weather for early February. As we walked along the streets of Brookline we ran into several local residents that congratulated the girls on their marriage. This was a perfect end to a perfect day for Andi and Kelli. Congratulations girls! Thank you for giving me a day I will never forget!

There’s a real spark between them: Erica and Zach’s engagement shoot at the Museum of Science

Posted in Engagements

A few months ago wedding planner extraordinaire, Holly Fawcett of In the Pink Ink Events, mentioned to me that she had a sweet couple that she thought would mesh well with me. Was she ever right! I was so pumped when Erica and Zach choose Boston’s Museum of Science for their engagement shoot location to embrace their shared love of science and to avoid the colder temperatures Boston provides in the winter. Science museums are like second homes to me because I still love science and as a high school student one of my favorite past times was volunteering at my local children’s science museum. This was going to be a shoot to remember!

During my first meeting with Erica, she told me from the very first day she and Zach met in medical school, there was a real spark between them. In the museum’s theater of electricity we captured shots of more than a few sparks actually between them! But even when we left that exhibit, the electricity between the two of them as a couple was still palpable. Erica and Zach had such a natural chemistry together it made my job as easy as Pi.

Dancing with the Dancing Photographer: Webisode #3 Spins & Turns

Posted in Dance Moves, Tips

Happy New Year and Happy Wed-Dance-Day to you all! Over the years whenever a groom has confessed to me his worries about the first dance, the advice I always give them is the same: really all a girl wants is to be spun. I don’t know why we like it so much, but we REALLY do! If a guy can execute a few simple turns on the dance floor, he is golden! The genuine smiles that will come upon his bride’s face as a result will be priceless in the wedding pictures. This week Peter walks us through how to do four different types of spins and turns: 1) outside turn, 2) inside turn, 3) turn from cuddle position, and 4) roll out turn. For HD viewing, after clicking play, click on the 360p button and switch to 720pHD.


Getting these turns right may take some practice so be sure to try them out a few times before your big day. Ladies remember nice graceful hands and to let HIM lead you into the turns and don’t just start to spin on your own. This will make sure that BOTH of you look like you know what you are doing. Guys, before you spin her outside of the basic dance frame, make sure there is enough room for the move to ensure you aren’t bashing your bride into your wonderful wedding guests.
