We love to travel for weddings, and since Boston is one of our favorite cities, it wasn’t too difficult for Scott to convince us to make our way out there for their beautiful fall wedding. These two live in Brooklyn, where we went for their engagement photos, but they made the trip back to their former home of Boston for their wedding at Glen Magna Farms.

When you first meet Colleen and Scott, they seem like a very nice, unassuming, cute couple. That’s until you hear their ridiculous list of accomplishments. In addition to being talented runners they have built schools in Africa, run a lot of marathons ( for fun-we still don’t get it),  Colleen has worked with Teach for America, and Scott is a successful lawyer. These two really embrace everything in life and most of all, are so in tune with each other as they go through their many adventures. Even though we only met via phone we knew right away they were a Scott K kinda couple.

Their wedding day was overcast, but it didn’t lighten the mood one bit. Glen Magna was awesome with waiting on the weather, they didn’t make the call until an hour before the ceremony, and the rain held off just long enough for them to have a gorgeous outdoor ceremony. We did get a little rain during their After Dark session, but that just added to the mood Without further ado,here are some of our favorites from the day!

I love this set from their First Look – so much joy on their faces!

Time to rock their Romantic Session!

Glen Magna had SO many cool places to shoot.

I just loved these old trees:

The set walking down this path is probably our favorite of the day.

The Facebook Teaser, for those who didn’t see it the first time!

Nothing is quite as romantic as a dip…

Time for the bridal party! Scott had a couple of groomswomen who knew how to work it for the camera.

The bridesmaids were such a blast too!

Time for the ceremony! I loved this sundial in the garden where they held the ceremony.

After the ceremony, we moved into the main house for the reception, which was beautiful and  thankfully a little drier. Thanks to Debbie for grabbing these details while we were grabbing a few extra family formals!

Cupcakes for the guests, and one GIANT cupcake for them to cut!

The Ahi tuna was so pretty I just had to post a picture of it.

It really is a gorgeous place to have a wedding:

Time for the first dance!

Of course, if you’ve been following this blog, you know that we have to finish up with our signature After Dark Session!

The rain came out to play while we were out there, but I love the look it gave the images.

Love, love, love this next one.

And a nice little intimate moment to finish it off.

Colleen and Scott, thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of the day and letting us capture the start of your lives together. We wish you the best of luck and we totally want to hear about all your future adventures!

Welcome back to the second half Kim and Jesse’s awesome engagement session in Northampton, MA! We continue here with some more awesome treats for your eyeballs. After hanging out at the candy store you saw in the last post, we wandered around the rest of Downtown Northampton and ended up in what was quite possibly the coolest bar we’ve been in in a LONG time. It’s actually an old train tunnel that has been converted into a bar. An empty, really cool bar is always awesome for a few cool shots. Kim and Jesse were game for anything and they got some amazing shots because of it!

The best thing about Kim and Jesse’s session was not only getting to see new locations and hang out with them but we also got to learn more about them. Kim used to go to Sweetie’s with her dad and we loved hearing about the time they spent there together. We also got to see the place where they got engaged. Additionally, we also learned some new lingo –  did you know that Northampton is referred to as “NoHo” by the locals? We didn’t before, but we certainly do now! Not to mention that Lisa got to try out incorporating “wicked” into her everyday lingo. Overall, it was a pretty amazing session and we hope you enjoy it!

We shot a wedding here at the Hotel Northampton last year, and really love the place!

Of course, we had to move across the street and shoot in front of the Calvin. So many cool shows at this place, and it’s so big a part of downtown NoHo.

Love, love, love this next one:

Coming soon – Kim and Jesse as Husband and Wife:

These doors were just begging to be photographed, and of course, we happened to have a hot couple we could put in front of them. Couldn’t resist!

Of course, we can’t do an e-shoot without the signature ring shot:

A little lovin’ in the median:

We ran across a gritty brick alley, and knew we had to get a shot there!

Then it was off to the bar to finish off the session. This place was empty because it was still early, but it was wicked cool (as they say in MA) – an old train tunnel turned into a bar? Yes please.

This next one was the facebook teaser. You should have seen it right after their session. Wait, you didn’t? That means you didn’t like our page yet. Wanna go fix that?

We hope you all enjoyed the session, and we can’t wait till their wedding next year! Kim and Jesse, thanks so much for showing us your world, we can’t wait to meet your friends and family and spend your wedding day with you!

Good morning everyone! We have another HOT blog post  for you all to check out this morning, this time featuring Kim and Jesse. The pictures are definitely hot, but the day was even hotter. The rain and thunderstorms were on their way and threatening, but Kim called us to see if we could head out there a little early to get the session done before the storm hit. We got done just in time! We met at Forest Park in Springfield, MA. These two will be having their wedding there the Barney Carriage House next June.We wanted to save the parts of the park near the carriage house for their wedding photos, so we got in the car and drove around the absolutely HUGE park and found a few cool places to start the session.  Kim and Jesse have been together since high school and they are incredibly in sync with each other, and this  definitely helps when you are shooting an engagement session! They were a little nervous but they pulled out their inner models and had a great time during the shoot.

We discovered a cute little rose garden in Forest Park, so of course we had to take some pictures there? We got a little romantic on a bench (well, they did, not us so much). Their outfits were adorable and worked well with the park. Can you believe that he was the one who picked out their outfits? You can’t help but love a guy who is a good dresser! Kim and Jesse definitely epitomized the idea of coordinating but not matching outfits. Big props to Jesse, who is a firefighter and worked a 24 hour shift the night before the session and props to Kim for keeping him laughing.

Kim and Jesse -Thank you for putting up with all of our ideas and being so fun to shoot. We have loved getting to know you and we are so looking forward to your wedding day. We know you two will have a gorgeous wedding (perhaps there will be a detour to the firehouse? A photographer can always dream, right?) and we can’t wait to be a part of it. We hope everyone enjoys part 1, and check back soon for part 2 and the rest of the Northampton part of the session!

Lisa thinks that Jesse has the most perfect hair ever.

A few different views of the same scene. A gorgeous intimate moment:

A romantic black and white kiss:

And a killer scenic shot. This one belongs on a BIG canvas:

Nothing like a romantic stroll through the park:

After we finished up in the park, we drove up to Northampton, or NoHo as the locals call it. It’s absolutely one of our favorite cities with its amazing restaurants as well as music and arts scenes, and it was a blast to shoot there. We started off at a cool little candy shop that Kim used to visit when she was younger. With a name like Sweetie’s, we just had to shoot there for an e-shoot.

We decided a prop was in order:

A “sweet” way to show off the bling. No pun intended. OK, maybe it was…..

Check back soon for part 2, and some more fun from Northampton!

Another weekend and another wedding slideshow and gallery posted for your enjoyment! We can’t wait for you to enjoy some photos of Angela and Ian’s awesome wedding in Northampton, MA. We love Northampton, it’s a really fun city with a really vibrant downtown, not to mention that it also has our closest Trader Joe’s! Angela and Ian had a beautiful family oriented wedding at the First Churches in Northampton with some amazing light. After the ceremony, we headed outside for some fun with the bridesmaids and groomsmen and then just the bride and groom alone. We then headed to the Hotel Northampton for the party. Their friends and family definitely know how to dance and have a good time. Angie and Ian, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day. We know this is just the beginning of your wonderful life together and we wish you all the best!

Check out this slideshow, and don’t forget to turn up the volume and watch this in full screen! Check the link at the end of the video to see the gallery of all their photos.

Sarah and Travis are currently over at our place with some of their family and their wedding party for some cupcakes and drinks while they see the premier of their wedding photos, so we are also finally able to show them to all of you! These two got married at the end of August in Williamstown, MA. Since Sarah works at Williams College, they were able to get married at the Thompson Memorial Chapel, which was one of the most amazing churches we have ever shot in. Their wedding was really beautiful and colorful and it was a joy to photograph. We got to make a pit stop at the Clark Art Institute, which is an amazing art museum in Williamstown that you have to check out if you are in the area. It made for a wonderful backdrop for their portraits.  Their reception was at the WIlliams Inn in Williamstown, just steps from the chapel. The wedding reception was a blast, and we got to hang out with some truly amazing people. Travis and Sarah have gotten to be friends of ours through this process, and getting to hang out with their amazing wedding party and families was just the icing on the cake.


Now that Sarah and Travis are viewing their photos at the very moment this post is being published, we are happy to premier them for you as well. Check out this slideshow (watch it in full screen and turn up your sound!) and then follow the link afterwards to see the full gallery of photos. We hope you all enjoy these!

For those of you who are just joining us, you may want to check the last post to see the first half of Angie and Ian’s Northampton, MA wedding. We join them now following their beautiful wedding and our photo session with them and their bridal party in downtown Northampton. Now we’ll get to the part of the wedding that al the guests always look forward to the most, the reception!

Angie and Ian planned an amazing reception at the Hotel Northampton, which is a beautiful historic hotel in the heart of downtown. Everyone had an amazing time and DJ Dan Cavanaugh made sure the dance floor was packed for the entire night. I’m not sure we have ever seen a dance floor this packed for this long – it was incredible! We are really excited to be able to show you just how much fun this reception was. Check it out!

Angie and Ian got one of our Engagement Guestbooks. We love it when our clients show off their engagement photos like this! We design a beautiful book containing their engagement photos  with plenty of white space for their friends and family to leave them words of love and happiness – and unlike those old, traditional lined guestbooks, these make a great coffee table keepsake.

The Hotel Northampton Ballroom:

I love a great black and white.

A great reaction to a toast:

The little guy’s expression here is absolutely priceless!

We took them out for a few minutes for their After Dark Session in front of the Calvin Theater. These are some of our favorite shots!

You may remember this one from their teaser post. Love it!

After that, it was back in to the party!

This expression says it all:

And yes, they did really pick up the bride and groom.

Congratulations Angie and Ian – we wish you a lifetime of happiness! Stay tuned for lots of exciting stuff coming soon on the blog, including the rest of Angie and Ian’s images!

These two are so perfect for each other. We knew it from the moment we met them. They knew it about each other from their Freshman year of college at WPI in Worcester, MA, where they met. Everyone else knew about it too. It all came together on a gorgeous fall afternoon in Northampton, MA. They got married at the amazing First Churches in Northampton, with their reception at the Hotel Northampton just down the road. It provided the perfect backdrop for this incredible couple.

It’s very rare that we have ever seen a church as beautiful as this one, and it was a real pleasure to shoot in. It was also an interesting backdrop to observe the groom sprinting back in just before the ceremony with the wedding license he almost forgot! Ian is a pretty speedy guy so no harm done. We then got to witness a beautiful ceremony and then got to wander around downtown Northampton getting some awesome photos for these two. Check out these images, and check back wednesday at 5 pm for the second half – their awesome reception!

Some of the vendors featured in this post -

Hair and Makeup – The Spa at Stoney Brook

Ceremony Music – Classical Guitar Unlimited

This was such a gorgeous church!

We just loved this shot of the ring bearer. So cute!

After that, it was off for a little photo session outside!

This is normally our SIgnature Shot from our engagement sessions, but here, we are doing it again, with a little extra hardware on her finger!

Yes, I’m making a goofy face here, and it may look a little strange, but just wait for the result:

This is what I got out of that hunched over pose I was making to get the shot:

… and then it was off to the Hotel Northampton:

Stay tuned for the second half of their wedding blog. We can’t wait to show you the reception images starting at 5 pm this wednesday!

Angie and Ian had a beautiful wedding this past weekend in Northampton, MA with their ceremony at the beautiful First Churches and the reception at the Hotel Northampton. It was a beautiful ceremony and a really fun reception – we can’t wait to share all the details with you. For now, however, we’re going to give you a little teaser shot from their After Dark Session. Check it out, and check back soon for their wedding previews!

Unfortunately, the “Cal” part of the sign on the Calvin Theater was burned out, but it still made for a great shot!

Welcome back everyone to the second half of the preview for Sarah and Travis’ wedding last week in Williamstown, MA. Yesterday you got to see all the amazing details and the gorgeous ceremony. Today you’ll get to see some of our favorite shots from their formals and their romantics session at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, and their awesome reception at the Williams Inn. Also, don’t forget about our signature After Dark Session – these two really rocked that, and you’ll see a couple of images here from that as well. We had so much fun at this wedding, and it was really all because of the people. After having hung out with them over the past months, we are really lucky to count both Sarah and Travis as friends, and their families and friends treated us not just like friends, but like family during this entire wedding, from their rehearsal dinner (which will be coming soon on the blog) until the end of their reception, and even inviting us to the breakfast the next day! We really count ourselves lucky to have been able to be a part of this amazing event. We really had a blast and are excited to share some more of our favorite images with you.

We don’t normally post much from our family formals sessions, but the guys really showed some attitude for this shot, so we have to show it off!

I love the expression on their faces here.

This is such a simple pose, but the emotion here is so powerful:

It was such a hot afternoon, but Sarah still managed to have an absolutely radiant smile.

Just gorgeous.

Some awesome individual portraits of our bride and groom:

Just look at those eyes. Travis is a lucky man

After that session, it was off to the Williams Inn for their reception. I just love their expressions in this shot from their first dance. Travis’ dad sang an incredible rendition of “What a Wonderful World” – if I hadn’t seen him singing it, I could have sworn it was Louis Armstrong himself!

Amazing. LOVE this one.

A totally packed dance floor following the dollar dance. Just look at the Maid of Honor’s face as she eyes her take

This party was really hopping all night long. Can you tell that this group loved to dance?

Our Maid of Honor owning the dance floor.

These two were keeping up with the younger folks all night long. I hope Lisa and I will still be like this years down the line!

Can you feel the passion in this one?

There really are no words…

These next two shots are from our After Dark Session. You probably saw one of them in the sneak peek. We only borrow the Bride and Groom for five of ten minutes from their reception, but we always get some AMAZING images.

And of course, some fist pumping to end the night!

We hope you all enjoyed these previews, and we can’t wait to show you the rest of these images once we get them done. Keep checking back here for more stuff from our latest weddings, and don’t forget to leave Trav and Sarah some love in the comments section below!

Sarah and Travis should be returning from their amazing tropical honeymoon today, and we want them to get the same chance as everyone else to see them, so we’ve been sitting on these photos for a little while, but we’re so excited to finally be able to show them to you!  Sarah works for Williams College in Williamstown, MA, and because of that, they got to have their ceremony in the Thompson Memorial Chapel on the Williams campus – it was an amazing setting for a truly amazing couple. For this first half of their wedding preview, we’re going to show you some of our favorite shots from the pre-wedding and the amazing ceremony. Tomorrow we’ll show you the best from their romantics session at the Clark Art Institute and the reception at the Williams Inn. We hope you enjoy these, and please leave the happy couple some love in the comments section below.

The bride’s beautiful Maggie Sottero dress:

Lisa is getting to be a master of these detail shots -

And of course, Lisa’s always fabulous shoe shot:

I was off at Travis’ parents house with the boys getting ready. Here’s Tony, the groom’s brother and the Best Man

Travis just had to get shot on his motorcycle while he was rocking the tux. Check out the attitude.

Everyone always has to have the classic Reservoir Dogs shot. These guys showed a lot of love to the camera.

Ever wonder why you need two photographers when you select a wedding package? While I was with the guys during their prep, Lisa was with the girls getting awesome shots like this:

Sarah and Travis rented a trolley to drive the wedding party around town, and it made for a great bridal arrival at the chapel.

Doesn’t she look amazing?

The Thompson Memorial Chapel at Williams College is really a sight to behold. It’s hard to find a more beautiful church in which to hold a wedding.

Amazing.

I am in LOVE with the light coming through the window here.

Here’s Travis looking thoughtful just before the ceremony. One of my favorite shots from the entire wedding. You can’t plan light like this.

Here’s Travis a few minutes later, looking at his gorgeous bride for the first time.

And this was his amazing view…

Check back tomorrow for more from their formals, romantics, and their awesome reception!
