When a handsome couple in the airline industry cross paths, the sky is the limit.   Love, life and happiness, prepare for take off.  Despite my rugged exterior (those of you who know me, understand why that’s funny), I’m actually kind of a softy.  This makes me perfectly suited for such a touching wedding.   I was getting emotional editing the photos of the groom getting teary eyed.    This wedding was so cosmopolitan and stylish, but also tender and genuine.  It was such a pleasure to work with all of you.  Everyone was great. From the beginning of the day, at the Marriott Long Wharf in Boston, and well into the reception at The State Room (with unsurpassed views of the city), it was all totally grand and joyous.  Congratulations Jeannie and Scott, you’re a great couple and deserve everything under the sky!

Congrats to the young couple! They had a beautiful wedding recently at the Langham Hotel in Boston. We had fun taking some Annie Leibowitz/Vogue style group photos at Bond restaurant but my favorite is the cover photo. The bride was waiting in the bridal room just before the ceremony when I got the idea for this shot. With the groom just one door away, I figured it would be interesting to get a shot of them so close together… Fun stuff! Check out the video and feel free to let us know what you think. : )

Oh my G! Vera Wang, purple… The Renaissance, Waterfront… what else do I have to say.  Tiesha and Damien planned a memorable wedding with all the accoutrements.  Their refined style and taste was apparent, truly a thrill to photograph.  Props go out to Kaidi Grant who did a perfect job with the make-up,  Larry Hamilton of Patrice Vinci Salon who did the bride’s hair, Theresa Arsenault of Dogwood Floral Design who absolutely smashed it with her beautiful arrangements, and Paula L.  from The Icing on the Cake.   Earrings and bracelet: Alexis Bittar-Bloomingdales,  Shoes: Vera Wang Lavender Label, Invitations/Stationary: Rob Charlton -Goosefish Press, Clutch purse: Nordstroms, Favor/Trinket dish: Tanya Chin – Zinnia Designs.

I’m so happy to share this next wedding.  Nicole and Scott had such a great wedding recently at the Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy, MA.  The photos will go live tomorrow, Monday September 1st at 1pm!  Here’s a sneak peak!  Check us out on Facebook too  : )

OK, so I’m a little late posting this one… it’s from the Spring 2011 issue.   There will be more photos in the current issue too!  : )

Last weekend we (DiasPhoto.com) had 2 weddings on Saturday.  One was photographed by yours truly, the other by our Associate Photographer team!  Polina has been working with us for a few years now and is really doing great.   She’s creative, competent and easy to get along with… not to mention her photos rock.  We also started a new photographer Masao, he did a great job as well.  It was apparently such a beautiful wedding…. I wish I was there.   Granite Links in Quincy, a beautiful Greek Orthodox wedding…  a Lamborghini, what more can you ask for photographically!

I keep finding myself being drawn towards whimsical photos like the one below.  I thought that this idea was fun, unique… and my daughter happened to find a little feather that worked perfectly for the shot.  We had beautiful weather this sunny Saturday at Zukas Hilltop Barn.   The bride was enchanting, the groom was charming and as warm as the day.  Bold and fresh red roses adorned every corner.   Amidst all the other details like the horse drawn carriage, the chocolate fountain, delicious cake and the candy table, I believe it was truly a happy day for all.
