This past week brought us to Castle Island in South Boston, where we had an engagement photo session with Kristi and Kyle. This is the home of Fort Independence, a historic site built in the early 1800’s. What could be a better metaphor for a strong, lasting relationship : ) There was a clear blue sky and a bright summer day, a perfect backdrop to set against their blue toned outfits. They’re truly a sweet, tender couple and a warm family that I’m pleased to work with. I’m currently uploading the photos to our online proofing site. Here is a little preview of my favorites from the day. For more historic, background info on Castle Island, click here.

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.

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.

Congrats to this young fellow who just received his black belt in Karate. Mom and Dad who have done such a great job as parents, said that Karate has given him much more confidence, discipline and athleticism. I was also able to get some great photos of his little brother. They’re both super cute kids! Here a just a few photos from the photo session.

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.

This week has been exceptionally busy and several days have passed since my last blog. The last photo shoot was at Piers Park in East Boston. The bride’s last name is Sweet, which is what inspired the title : ) The photo shoot went well. We were able to get the Candid Composition which is the term we coined that expresses the Dias Photography style. We pick the perfect background, light the couple perfectly…and then in between formal shots, we capture the Candid Composition. The last photo is a great example of what we strive for. If any of you are wondering who I am referring to as “we”, allow me to explain. Dias Photography consists of me, Edson, as the primary photographer and Teresa my fiance and office manager. Kelly is our talented associate photographer, see her work here. And last but not least, Melinda is our in house photo editor and Photoshop expert. Together we do all that we can to provide a wonderful experience for all of our clients, from before the wedding and beyond : )

Yay, this was fun! Yesterday I had a pregnancy photo session with Karen and Greg. Because they’re a fun couple and appreciate lighthearted humor, we decided to create Daddy Does Dishes! I also have to thank Greg for being a good sport and obliging my requests.

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.

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.
