Something magical started happening last year and has been really abundant with my wedding clients this year and I'm almost nervous to jinx it by writing about it here but I just have to share. I have been contacted by the most amazing people to photograph their weddings in a much more intimate sense. While most of my weddings average around eight hour of coverage, starting in the morning and ending after dinner, I've now photographed six weddings in just one to four hours. And while I was at first scared of missing the getting ready moments and little details, I have found instead that I have had the most amazing time with these couples, focusing mainly on the bride and groom to capture their love and those amazing wedding day smiles and intimate moments. In a shorter time frame, I am often gifted {yes, gifted} a full hour or more with just the couple. I wish I could express in words how incredibly amazing having a full hour is on a wedding day. For Erika and Jose, I first met up with them to photograph their ceremony at Saint John Chrysosotom Parish in West Roxbury as well as portraits with their immediate family members and religious sponsors and then scooped them up to a pretty amazing hidden gem in West Roxbury, a lone fishing pier. I have driven by this pier several times and have been dreaming of photographing a couple there so when Erika and Jose told me the location of their church {just 1/2 mile down the road} I recommended that we go there. For a full hour, the couple laughed and danced and walked around and I was able to capture so much pure love. I finished the day at their dinner at BonCaldo Restaurant in Norwood, MA to grab some shots with their closest friends and family, and of course some of their rings on various fun props that were meaningful to the couple. These two were an absolute blessing to work with, always smiling, so kind, so genuine and so in love. I cannot wait for you to see all of these beautiful photographs of these two amazing people, now husband and wife.
