Two weeks ago, Tricia and I finished up our winter wedding bonanza with Alison & Erik at the Red Lion.   Here’s some of my favorites -

After the fastest cermony I have ever seen, I was lucky to grab this one and only shot of the big kiss.

Alison and Erik braved the cold for these cool shots outside -


First dance -

Erik’s son was the best man and did a great job with his speech -



Big air -
Alison’s cousin played Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight, solo on the guitar.  It was unbelievable!! 

Who is that bald dude with the camera?
Best tip of the night from these two - plug your beer with your thumb while dancing to avoid embarrasing spillage and possible wipeouts.  Note to self.
Tricia just can’t resist the Cupid Shuffle -

Last week were very lucky to shoot another incredible winter wedding.  This time is was Sarah & Ryan.  As usual, Tricia was with the girls while they were made beautiful and I hung out with the guys while they were getting ready in Southie.  I felt like I was dropped in the middle of Good Will Hunting.  Lots to show, so here we go -

Yes, I had to post 2 shots of Sarah’s shoes.  I think the red soles are a dead give away to most women.



Don’t ask what’s going on here -

While the girls were having a civilized toast -
The guys were smoking some cigars and having a few drinks of their own -










The whole group was pretty tough braving the freezing temperatures -

We did our best to get some nice group shots in the warmth of the ballroom but there was some music playing and everyone had other ideas -


It was all fun and games until there was a major wardrobe malfunction -

Remember that 12+ inches of snow last Saturday?  Yeah, well it didn’t even phase Brenda and Dan.  In fact, I think the snow only added to the excitement of the day.  Here’s a bunch of my favorites -

This one might have taken over as my favorite groom portrait -












Those dance lessons really paid off -

I will be the first to admit I was nervous about this wedding.  I think it makes sense to be a little nervous about a winter wedding since there are so many more variables to think about than a summer wedding.  Throw in New Year’s Eve, snow, and a nervous bride – I was more than a little nervous.  But, all of that nervousness disappeared (as usual) when I had my camera in hand and I was pleasantly surprised to find Erica, our previously nervous bride, to be the picture of cool and calm while she was getting ready.  Rejuvenated, I left Tricia with Erica and went to hang out with the always relaxed Barry, to find him laughing and joking with his ushers.   Erica got her big wish on her wedding day – SNOW!!  A perfect, light coating of photo heaven.  After all was said and done, my worry was completely unfounded and this ended up being one of my favorite couples and weddings of the year! 

I absolutely LOVE the cufflinks Erica gave to Barry with photos of their parents on the inside.  So cool.
