Every family, and every event is a little bit of a guessing game as I await what event or moment will unlock an emotional flood. For Pam and Steve, one of those moments was Steve dancing with his mother.

Wedding
Weddings are all about personalization. More and more these days, the cakes, donut bars, ice-cream and dessert aspects are a central point of a bride and grooms' presentation of their tastes and personalities.
On its own, I like the layers and complex nature of this image. I wanted to capture the unique and timeless feel of the venue (Waltham's museum of industry and innovation) while still capturing the important guests awaiting the ceremony. I find myself slowly looking through the many parts of this image.

Wedding days are about bringing people together. I loved seeing the unity that was born amongst the guests as they all helped to bring the chairs from the ceremony site into the tent with them.
I always *jokingly* tell my couples that I will be invading their personal space all day. I feel honored that so many people welcome me into their lives and the story of their love. Here, I felt getting just a little closer...and then a little more...really allows you to feel the laughter.
I felt like you could see the entirety of Daniella and Andrew's relationship within their first "dance". Built on teamwork and playfulness, it blew everyone away.
It takes a special type of human to embrace the plethora of unknowns while eloping. Heather and Matt thrived. This is them 2 days before their lakeside ceremony checking out one of the locations the hotel suggested for their vows.
Photography serves as a platform to remember forgotten moments and memories. As I roam through a wedding day I often find small details of which I know nothing about. But, the above image was taken on the wedding morning, before preparations had begun, and I like to think this image will take people back to the celebrations the night before the wedding, the buildup, the anticipation, and the laughter amongst friends.
Heather and Matt offered the incredible opportunity for my wife and I to document their private elopement in Chile. The above image was taken within their first few hours in Puerto Notales, sitting with their translator (required by law, as they both speak Spanish) awaiting their "interview" process with the city hall official who was conducting part 1 of their official marriage. Many days later (after eating breakfast, lunch and dinner with them) and a long hike, the below image captures their lakeside ceremony at Patagonia Camp. The same city official traveled the 2hrs north to finish the process, with enthusiastic hotel staff looking on. Out of our nearly month long journey, the most memorable part was the honor of bonding with these two unique and special humans, and bearing witness to their adventure. Many more images will pop up soon.
