This weekend has been pretty crazy for my fiance and I. We just moved to Jefferies Point in East Boston. Our residential studio also came with us : ) We love the place and the neighborhood is a budding artist community. We’re still in the process of unpacking so email and phone responses are taking a little bit longer. . . so please bear with us. The office will be up and running shortly.
For those of you who may not know me personally, there have been many changes in my life recently. On top of moving, my fiance and I are also expecting a baby in mid September! I couldn’t be any happier. I’m a pretty emotional kind of guy, throw a baby into the mix and I’m a walking Jennifer Aniston movie. We’re also getting married in the fall of ’09. So for all of you couples planning a wedding with tons of other things going on. . . . I feel your pain. Drop me an email and we can commiserate : )

The first thing to know is that there is no right or wrong answer.
Every photographer will have different preferences.
Truth be told, the photograph is ultimately about you, so do what feels best.
Having that said, there are a few things that I would suggest to avoid and things to shoot for.
Do Wear:
-What you like to wear and what you feel good in, that’s the most important.
-Coordinating outfits are great.
-Accents and colors that compliment each other are the goal. If she is wearing a particular colored top, maybe his collared undershirt can accent that color. If he is wearing a certain color, maybe she can accent it with her accessories.
-Colors that you know work well on you.
-The feeling you want to convey; lighter shirts on top give the pictures a more casual and bright look. Darker shirts on top give the portraits a more serious and thoughtful feel.
Do Not Wear:
-All black or all white tops, it does not create much visual interest and can make for a tricky exposure
-Big logos
-Busy patterns that may overwhelm the photo, and distract attention from the two of you and your expressions
-Things that are too reflective, some eye make-ups that have glitter in them, and things that shimmer will also reflect the camera flash. They can be distracting and can look a little weird.
-Try not to wear the same exact outfit as the other
Hope that helps!

I’ve been searching for a good company to work with in regards to supplying a photo booth rental at weddings. I came across this company, PartyBooths.com I like them because the booth itself is the newest and classiest that I found. If you’re setting one of these up at your reception, you want to make sure it matches the decor of the venue and your wedding. Photographically I like this company for a few reasons, 1. the lighting is professional quality, not some little flash in regular photo booths, 2. the backgrounds can be your own, you can buy interesting patterns at a fabric store. I would love to see a Damask pattern in Camel or Burgundy, the options are endless. 3. They are less expensive than other companies that provide the same service. To see what the booth pictures actually look like click here. Photos courtesy of PartyBooths.com

Should women run the world? Well, if they did the way this cooperative household is, it might not be too bad. A place where support, creativity and respect rule. Boston has had it’s share of progressive women and this is today’s picture. Open and nourishing, honest and encouraging, this group of ladies take care of themselves (and know how to throw a good party!). Musicians and performers, artists and intellectuals, it was a pleasure to photograph them all. I hope you like the pictures : )
