Congratulations Todd and Kathryn!

Saturday's perfect weather brought a most beautiful wedding at the property at the end of Shore Street in Falmouth! With the colorful flowers by Merideth Fancy in Orleans, the perfect Sperry Tent and the gorgeous tresses of the bride were created by Jacki Norri of Wedding Tresses. The meal was flawless by The Casual Gourmet and my pal Lisa from Delicious Desserts provided the simple but elegantly delicious cake. The guests danced the night away to the sounds of Mike Dumas and The Hollywood Horns! It had been a while since I had seen Mike Dumas but they still rock!!! It was truly a wonderful evening and I am so thankful that this June was much drier than the downpours of 2006! Congrats Todd and Kathryn!!!

Smiles!!!

Happy Graduation Keegan

Well this was the week, Keegan graduated from Pre-school! The school have a very nice ceremony including the wearing of the cap and gown that you can see! Keegan will miss his pre-school but is so looking forward to Kindergarten in the Fall!

Congratulations Laurie and Larry!!!!

We had an AMAZING day with Laurie and Larry yesterday! The weather was perfect and no details were left out with this wedding! Laurie looked gorgeous and Larry was very handsome! All of the animals cooperated and cheered (or moo'd) them on during the ceremony! Laurie and her girls arrived in two different horse drawn carriages and the groomsmen walked the couple's dogs down the isle. Bear the dog was the ring bearer as Buzz the sheep looked on. The horses grazed in the fields as they said their vows. The guests then went into the oversized tent for music by Cheryl Park. There was dancing and a lot of fun all night long!
Here are just a few of the amazing images we created. Hope you enjoy!!!! Smiles and cheers!

Laurie and Larry's Engagement

Laurie and Larry are getting married at a ranch and wanted all of the animals that they love and take care of to be involved. These are images from their amazing engagement session at Sandy Neck with their stallions.

Check back later this weekend for a sneak peak at their wedding!

Today's Wedding

Today's wedding is one that I have been looking forward to. I look forward to all of the weddings I do, but this one guarantees to be different. I ask all my couples to fill out a wedding info sheet so I can learn names and see who will be involved in their wedding. When I received Laurie and Larry's sheet I saw that there was a different type of ring bearer. See for yourself!

Back in the Garden

Bug's eye view. Set the camera down on the ground with the lens towards the sky and with a cable release photographed the backside of these daisies and ferns.....it's a bug's life!
WINDY DAY!!! The wind shook the flowers most of the morning shooting. So why not see what it looks like with the slower shutter speed. If you look at it long enough it looks like a horse running....(or maybe it's late and my eyes are tired!!!)

Back for the teaching of class two at the Green Briar Nature Center. My students brought in some of the images that they took last week and we talked about them. They did a really great job! Today we talked about composition and space in a photo. It was very cold and winy but here is what I got between talking to the class.....Enjoy!

Mike and Allison at The Simsbury Inn

Just back from a great wedding in Connecticut at the Simsbury Inn . Mike and Allison celebrated in style with all of their friends and relatives at the inn. It seemed that there were more Cape people at this wedding than we see at Cape weddings! How Fun!

We took photos at the spot where Mike and Allison originally met; Suffield Academy. The grounds were just right for photography. Very New England and lovely.

The rain held off and the cloud cover made for beautiful lighting! We stayed the night at the inn and traveled back on Sunday in great weather. This part of Connecticut is just beautiful and I hope to get back and spend more time! To see the entire event go to http://www.pictage.com/ ! Cheers!

Captain Jack Sparrow?

Even though he has never seen any of the movies, Keegan is drawn to The Pirates of the Caribbean. It is amazing how just a little advertising that he sees, here and there, makes him aware of the merchandising blitz. He found this at the store last night and couldn't wait till Haloweeen! So when you visit, watch out for a sword wheeling 5 year old! You've been warned! Smiles!

Photographing Wildflowers at Green Briar

We had my first class that I am teaching about wildflower photography at the Green Briar Nature Center here in Sandwich today. I have four very enthusiastic students that came ready with their camera and tripods! We explored light and the quality of light today. We went from very sunny skies and the use of a diffuser and then to over cast sky that was ideal for our subjects. They all have their assignments and I am looking forward to seeing their work at our next class next week. Enjoy and Happy Spring!
