SLS Brickell Miami wedding There is a Yiddish saying which means “rain is good luck” and for Alexandra and Greggory Schapiro, their wedding day at the SLS Brickell Miami Wedding Venue truly received a blessing from the skies as the perfect prelude to a lifetime of rainbows. As their wedding planner Melissa Davis aptly expressed when she created the Schapiro wedding’s slogan: “When it Rains, It Shines,” and as this Miami wedding photographer will affirm, the bride and groom truly sparkled. When guests entered the recently opened SLS Brickell wedding venue, it became apparent why Ali and Gregg chose to celebrate their special day there. Modern and sophisticated, it truly epitomized the energy of this downtown Miami couple while adding to the grandness of the occasion with details such as floating candles at the magical pool deck and a Chuppah draped in white orchids. Indeed, orchids wer ...

Angela and Ryan's Commander's mansion wedding Angela and Ryan's Commander's mansion wedding took place in Watertown, Massachusets in September 2017. Commander's mansion is a unique historical location, and nowadays it's one of the most stunning Boston wedding venues. Angela and Ryan met ten years ago in June of 2008, and shortly after, they found themselves swirling in a classic summer camp romance -- a tale of the head lifeguard flirting with the camp secretary (and not being asked back the following year!). Hailing from the same hometown, nurturing their budding relationship proved geographically convenient, especially after realizing they attended universities that were twenty minutes away from each other in Western MA. Even from day one, Angela always felt that she had known Ryan forever. They continued to date for another eight years, going on adventures, collecting pets, and atte ...

Chatham family photographer As a Chatham family photographer, I want to share with you Chatham beach family photos for Hailey, Christian, and little Jack who traveled a long way from Seattle to Cape Cod, MA.

Belle Mer wedding Jacki and Michael's Belle Mer wedding happened on the 9th of September at one of the best wedding venues in Newport. Looking through their  photos, you can see that this day was perfect - good weather, great people, laughter, fun, and Love! Michael and Jacquelyn met in Israel in December 2010 on an organized, family tour group. Jacquelyn was with her entire extended family, and Michael was on the trip as well with his grandmother, aunt, uncle, and two cousins. It was not loved at first sight, in fact, at first, they really didn't like each other as Michael's first words to Jacquelyn were "shh" when she was being too loud on the tour bus. However, as time passed and they had the opportunity to speak to each other, they realized we had a lot in common. They attended the same summer camp for the same two summers, Michael grew up in the same town as her cousins and they a ...

Today, my blog post dedicated to Suzanne and Scott's Edgartown Harbor View Hotel wedding on Martha's Vineyard, which I took part in taking pictures at the beginning of June this year. With the guys, I met in the winter when they hired me to take their MV e-session. After they had received the photos, they decided that it was me who would be the wedding photographer at their wedding on Martha's Vineyard. Edgartown Harbor View Hotel is one of the best places for a coastal wedding on Martha's Vineyard. A very calm and quiet place. Very convenient for small family weddings in a narrow circle of family and friends. Well, the view of the marina and the Edgartown Lighthouse is an iconic picture for coastal New England. By the way, the view is beautiful as in a bright sunny day and overcast. I even like it more when the sky is above the lighthouse with clouds, instead of the bright sun. ...
