Darcy and her long time fiance eloped at the Old Stone Church in West Boylston MA in March. They have been together for awhile and it was both their second marriages, so they wanted something small, simple and stress free. It was attended by them, the officiant and I. This is my first elopement, they had contacted me just a few days before the ceremony and I had the date available. Here are a couple of my favorite images from their elopement ceremony.
I am so excited to see my images published for the first time in print. Bride and Groom magazine published Tara and Matt’s wedding at Harding Allen Estate in the Nearby Nuptials section of the magazine. The latest spring issue just hit the newsstands, it came out on Wednesday, heard all about it, and finally picked up a copy last night! I know it isn’t a huge deal, but it feels really exciting!
We were also featured in an article on color blocking.

Alas, here is my 5th wedding in a row this winter/spring at the Publick House Historic Inn in Sturbridge, MA (4th just in 2012 so far, there will be a few more this summer as well). Next weekends wedding will bring about a change of venue as we are heading off to Cape Cod! Kimberly and Jason held their faith inspired wedding ceremony at the Federated Church of Sturbridge which is located across the street from Publick House. We all headed over to Paige Hall for the wedding reception. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.
Annie and Joe were married at the Publick House Historic Inn in Sturbridge, MA last month. They had a beautiful church ceremony at the Notre Dame Church in Southbridge, MA. Reception was held in Paige Hall. Another Publick House couple who really liked the Beatles. First dance was to “Something”, and the favors had a John Lennon/Paul McCartney quote attached. Love the custom converse sneakers. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.
Kaara and Sarah are getting married in October at Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge Ma, so they decided to have a holiday themed engagement session there in November. (I am a little behind on posting my engagement sessions for the fall/winter). They are having a “shot-gun” themed wedding ceremony on the steps in front of the Old Thompson Bank. I am really looking forward to their unique wedding in October. Here are a few of my favorite images from their session.

Kristie and Anthony were married at the Publick House Historic Inn located in Sturbridge, MA. Publick House is becoming a very popular wedding venue for a lot of my clients, particularly for a winter wedding. Since November I have photographed 4 weddings there. My next wedding in April is there as well. I don’t mind, as it is not too far from my house. All the festivities happened at The Publick House. Ceremony and Reception were held in Paige Hall, with the cocktail hour in the barn. Some of the vendors that helped create thier special day:
Wedding ceremony was Officiated by Justice of the Peace Arthur Tatro
Hair by Katie MacAlpine
Wedding dress was Private Label G from Party Dress Express
Floral design by Michelle Bernard
DJ- Men of Many Hats – Andy Gomes
Favors- personalized playing cards
Cake by Publick House bakery
Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.
Karen and Jack were married in January at The Publick House Historic Inn in Sturbridge, MA. (Many more weddings to blog from the Publick House), seems like a popular place to hold a winter themed wedding. Just got back from another one there today! The whole wedding was held there from getting ready to the ceremony and reception in Paige Hall. The Publick House kept up all their christmas decorations, with a gorgeous tree that the wedding ceremony was held in front of. Here are a couple of my favorite images of the day.
This antique cake topper was a family heirloom that has seen many generations of weddings in the brides family.
One of Karen’s bridesmaids had a slideshow created from family photographs of the two of them growing up. It brought out lots of laughs.
Here is an engagement session I photographed back at the end of October that I didn’t get a chance to blog about yet. Jason proposed to Rebecca on a trip to NYC to see the Lion King. He chose a spot in Central Park to propose to her, so they wanted their engagement photos to be in Central Park. I thought it was a great idea, so we headed down to NYC for the day to photograph their engagement session. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in July! Here are a couple of my favorite images from the day. The first image is the one they chose for the Ketubah. The last image is the location where he originally proposed to her, so we did a little mock proposal.
Kara and Aaron opted to have a first look before their indoor wedding ceremony due to a late November evening wedding. There are a variety of good reasons to have a first look. I wrote an article here. We were able to get all the family formals and couple portraits out of the way prior to the ceremony. The wedding ceremony was also held at Publick House in Paige Hall. Since we had all the formals taken care of, they were able to enjoy cocktail hour relaxing with their friends and family. Justice of the Peace Michael Backer performed the ceremony and DJ Dave Donato provided the music and entertainment for the wedding event. The beautiful floral arrangements were created by Michele Bernard. The bridal bouquet was a combination of all the bridesmaids flowers. Each bridesmaid had a different flower in her color scheme of pink and white, pink and white roses, hydrangeas, pink gerber daisies, white cali lilies and pink orchids. What a neat idea. The grooms black wedding band was also really unique, I believe they mentioned it was black titanium. The second shot of the groom during the first look was taken by my assistant Melissa Nykorchuk. Here are a few of my favorite photographs from the wedding day.
