Wedding at Granite Links

August 25, 2008






A warm summer breeze wafts across the top of the hill. The beautiful Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy, MA is where this wedding took place. This venue is particularly interesting because of its view of Boston in the distance. The bride and groom had their formal photos taken before the wedding. For couples who don’t mind changing tradition a bit, this has a lot of benefit. They were able to spend the greater part of their reception mingling with guests and enjoying themselves. The couple had very discerning taste, which was apparent by the vendors they chose, all of which were among the best in Boston. The band tore the house down. The Pulse of Boston did a great job with the music. The food which was absolutely delicious, was provided by Gourmet Caterers; I’m a big fan of food station-style dinners. Guests are able to walk about freely while getting their meal, and it creates more opportunities for conversation. They didn’t have a wedding cake, instead they had cupcakes which were provided by Babycakes. I didn’t get a chance to try them, but I’m sure they were delicious, as was everything else! Also, check out the bouquet which the bride made herself.

Katie and Bob

Congrats! Another fun couple gets married! Katie and Bob had such an easy low stress wedding, it was a pleasure to work with them. Definitely a fun bunch. Katie chose a pretty yellow theme for her wedding. The wedding took place at The Canoe Club in West Bridgewater, for more info click here.

New Logo

August 18, 2008

Many thanks go out to Michaela, the graphic designer who made the new logo. After lots of back and forth, she worked out exactly what I was looking for-and was super easy to work with. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. We also just finished our email newsletter, which will be released this Wednesday. It’ll be chock full of the latest ideas and photos from current weddings. We will also be having our own Featured Weddings section where you can see photos of our favorite weddings.

I’ve just updated the website with a new slideshow. Often people will ask, “What is your style” and what can you expect from Dias Photography? We coined the term Candid Composition, to more clearly describe what we do. A balanced approach is our goal. A balance between artistic, photo-journalistic and formal portraiture is important. At every event, we will find the best location considering the background, lighting and comfort for the people being photographed. We use the best, most natural looking methods to light the subjects. Then, in between formal pictures, is when the magic happens. When you’re talking to each other, smiling naturally, laughing and unaware of he camera, is when the Candid Composition is captured.

What Camera Are We Using?

August 10, 2008


Hands down, the best wedding photography camera on the planet! The new Nikon D3 is here. We’ve recently purchased the latest and greatest camera from Nikon. This camera offers me, as well as my clients, a couple of things. In addition to unbelievable clarity and the ability to make large prints, its ability to shoot in low light situations is an unprecedented leap in the history of photography. Read the specs here.


The rain this past Sunday held out just long enough for us to get this engagement session in. The skyline view from Piers Park in East Boston is probably the best in the city. It’s a nice place to photograph because the park allows for a natural background and the awesome skyline shot. Liz and Matt were totally great, a warm couple and a pleasure to work with.

Nuptials in Newport

July 27, 2008






Congrats to Denise and Chris who had a beautiful wedding last night at The Chanler in Newport, RI. The food was gourmet and the orchids were stunning. Harper Floral did a great job with the flowers. Cake by Cappuccino’s Bakery in Middleton, RI. Check back for more amazing sites from the wedding as we thoroughly go through the photos.


Back to San Francisco to be exact, which is where this photo was taken, only about 4 years ago. We will be in CA for 9 days, returning on Monday the 21st. I will be answering emails and phone calls, just on a less frequent basis.

303 Cafe

July 11, 2008



This morning I worked on some photos for 303 Cafe in East Boston. Located on Sumner St., it’s one of our favorite spots to go to for food and drink. They always have interesting new dishes on the menu, as well as tasty beers for the hop-and-barley connoisseurs. A great vibe, matched with the right foods and even nicer people. If you’re near East Boston, check them out. See their menu here.
