Smolak Farms Engagement

June 29, 2009

We recently had this e-session (engagement session) at Smolak Farms in North Andover, MA. I also learned that they do weddings there as well. If you’re getting married and are looking for a cute, country farm style wedding, you should definitely take peak at their website. Another thing to consider in choosing your venue is the wedding coordinator. I met Sarrah (the wedding coordinator), she showed me around the farm, was very friendly and surely would be great to work with. I was happy with the photography and the choices of unique photo options, hopefully you’ll enjoy the photos as well.

These photos are from a dress fitting that I photographed last week at Lillian’s Fashions and Bridal in Norwell, MA. They have various styles of dresses from designers such as Paloma Blanca, Pronovias, Jasmine Couture, Anjolique, Maggie Sottero, Watters and Watters, Mikaella and more. They are also having a special promotion, if you purchase your bridal gown in the month of June you’ll receive 10% off and a Free veil. Check out their website for more information.

The world gets a little smaller day by day…. wedding by wedding. The commitment, devotion and marriage of two people is pure beauty. It is enormously fulfilling to see people from different cultures, religions and backgrounds loving and laughing together. This Indian-American wedding took place at the Sri Lakshmi Hindu Temple, in Ashland, MA. It was followed a by a beautiful reception at the Newton Marriott. Kelly, our associate photographer shot all of these images, as I was photographing the images from the blog post below. She did an amazing job and continues to amaze me. We have various wedding photography packages between the two of us. For more info check out our website and click on info.

 

In Bold Country

June 16, 2009

Congrats to this young couple who had a beautiful wedding last week at the Berkley, MA Congregational Church, followed by a reception at Bittersweet Farms in Westport, MA. The wedding was elegant-country with a bold flare. Instead of a traditional cake, they opted for these tasty wedding cupcakes, which are rapidly growing in popularity. They were fun, and I was happy to work with such a cute couple. I hope you enjoy the photography.

Last week brought us to Christopher Columbus Park near the North End in Boston for an engagement session. The couple was really fun and had the great idea to get a few shots with baseball hats on of their favorite teams. I then come to find out that he’s from New York and is a Yankee fan. She’s a hometown girl and of course a Sox fan… how could she not be : ) Red Sox and Yankee fans can live together in harmony! They have a great wedding planned at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, I’m sure it will be beautifully elegant. If you’re planning on getting married near the Fanueil Hall area, whether it be at The Boston Harbor Hotel, The Millennium Boston or The Marriott Long Wharf, they are all withing walking distance of Christopher Columbus Park where this e-session was photographed. I love this photo session, if you like them also and are interested in getting your engagement photos taken… check us out DiasPhoto.com

After my last e-session at Christopher Columbus Park in the North End (which I will post shortly), I was able to get a few photos of my friends family. These were all impromptu portraits but still made me smile. If you’re getting married anywhere near the North End, you may want to consider having photos taken at here, take a peek.
