I am fortunate to work with some of the best clients and vendors in the world!  Stef and Bobby are no exception.  Just the other day I came home to discover a large box from Leather Craftsmen that contained Stef and Bobby’s new album.  I’m always excited to see boxes from Leather Craftsmen because their fantastic handmade albums are always flawless and I think they have a elegant & timeless look.  Not to mention, they make my work look fantastic!  I figured I would post some pictures of this album to give some inspiration to those of you that might be struggling to choose pictures for your album.

Stef and Bobby opted for a clean and simple design with no cover photo:

Stef, who works at Priscilla of Boston made a radiant bride!

This was a quick impromptu shot before the got off the trolley – I could not resist the light coming through the windows!

We were fortunate enough to be able to sneak on to a BEAUTIFUL yacht to get some couple shots.

I’m always impressed with the quality of the Leather Craftsmen albums.  This is a 3500 series in Euro Black.

I was fortunate enough to spend a few days last week in Las Vegas for the annual WPPI photography convention. For those of you who don’t know, WPPI is a professional organization specifically for Wedding and Portrait Photographers. While the trip is always exhausting – it’s totally worth it. The convention leaves me feeling pumped for the upcoming season. Each year I meet and share ideas with some of the best and nicest photographers in the world. What’s even better is that during the trade show I get to shop around for the latest products to offer my fantastic clients! I’ll be offering some great new options, so stay tuned!

Without a doubt, Laura and Joe have to be the gutsiest couple I have ever photographed.  Freezing temperatures and icy roads were no match for this couple who braved the elements multiple times to get the shot!  Their ceremony, in South Boston was beautiful and intimate setting, followed by a winter themed reception at the Langham Hotel in Boston.  I wanted to share a few images from the day.  Check out the slideshow at the end!

The Langham has these amazing wonderful windows!  So elegant!

Riding in style!

Laura coming out of the Jag.

A beautiful orthodox ceremony.  This was a quick stolen moment by my assistant Eric!

Again – you’ve got to love that ceiling!

A quick impromptu second dance together.

A great moment after the party was over – recapping the night.

Laura and Joe – I had such a wonderful time with the two of you.  Thanks for letting us share the day!

I have to share another blog with you – then I promise I’ll post my latest wedding.  I love sharing things that crack me up.  This is especially for the photographers out there.  I had the pleasure of taking a week-long lighting workshop back in 2007 at the Maine Media Workshops, taught by one of the most well-respected photographers in the business, Joe McNally.  Not only does he posses a wealth of photographic information, but he’s genuinely a nice guy with a  encyclopedia-like Rolodex of movie quotes in his brain… sounds like someone else I know.  (Coincidentally, if you’re looking for an EXCELLENT learning opportunity – a chance to work with one of the best, check out the workshops website)

Which leads me to my point….. Joe has an absolutely hysterical blog which is not to be missed by other photographers.  Check out his most recent post about a very special valentine gift.  Too funny

I wanted to share a quick link with all of my brides-to-be.  Liene Stevens of Blue Orchid Designs has a great blog with tons of helpful tips, suggestions and ideas for anyone who is planning a wedding.  Check it out when you have a chance!
