recommended: dj

I just wanted to add a shout out here. I had the pleasure of meeting and working along side DJ Tommy Plante from Hard at Play this past Saturday night. He was wonderful to work with!

Not only was he friendly but he did a wonderful job of communicating with me to coordinate the various pieces of the reception, allowing me time for preparation and photographing. There was a great flow to the evening from the entrances to dances and toasts to the party. And of course, the music he played was great; I really wanted to dance the whole time!

sneak peak: Mary & Jim

Mary and Jim were married Saturday, May 21st at St. Patrick's Church in South Hadley with a reception at the Delaney House in Holyoke. They are such a fun couple, with a beautiful family. Despite a few clouds and rain drops, it was an amazing day. I'm editing through the images now and wanted to share a couple that have caught my eye so far.

guestbook design

Working with the photos from Sharleen & Chris's engagement session, I designed a guestbook with Sharleen's words on how they met and the unexpected proposal. Here are a couple of the layouts for a square book, starting with the cover.

wish upon a wedding

I just came across this great organization, Wish Upon a Wedding. They provide weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness and serious life-altering circumstances. I just signed up as a wish granter and hope I'm able to help someone who needs it make their dream wedding come true.

If you're a wedding vendor or can donate your time, airline miles or something else, you should check it out!

Sharleen & Chris

Here are a couple teasers from the engagement shoot with Sharleen and Chris last weekend in Rochester NY. I'm excited to go through the rest of the photos!
