Some photos from one of the beautiful autumn days in October, at MIT’s Killian Court. This area is an elegant respite from the chaos of the Infinite Corridor, and used to be the front entrance for MIT back in the days when you had to take a boat over from Boston. It was also in this area Livia and Jeff somewhat awkwardly professed their mutual interest over blue chips and guacamole.

This was Livia’s third dress from the wedding day, her dancing dress. I’ve always been a fan of that greco-roman look so I was so happy she decided to do a post-wedding bridal session with me.

Livia the neuroscientist rocked her quipao on our bridal session on campus. MIT is where she and a certain astrophysicist met and fell in love.

Don’t you think these photos look like they belong in a fashion magazine with some cheesy name like “East meets West”??  The best part about all of these images is that not 20 feet from any point we were shooting, there was an MIT grad student, professor, or staff member working hard to solve the world’s problems while Livia was trying her best just to walk in the tight, slinky red dress.

Hahahaha

I photographed Jenny’s wedding in Pennsylvania in September. When she got back from her honeymoon, we did a lovely little bridal session at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline at the peak of the fall foliage.

I chose this image in particular because you can see my feet.

A sexy and artistic image from Livia’s bridal session at MIT this week.

YES!

Bonnie and Robert were married in Quincy on Thursday, October 1, 2009.

I am so excited – the red cape I commissioned from Kristen who is a crafty bride whose wedding I photographed on October 11 – is going to be getting some attention from Erie PA’s Terri, who is getting married over Thanksgiving. I’m looking forward to seeing the cape used in a real wedding context!

I’m also quite excited that I’ll be featuring some couture flower hair pieces by Boston’s own Tessa McKinley, who shows and sells her work at Cambridge’s Design Hive Market (next one is November 1).

Some funny shots of the assistants from our bridal shoot with Carol last year.

Eileen and Wouter had a Friday morning wedding, and had me join them for an hour after the reception for some afternoon photos in the Cambridge area.

Although I won’t be taking wedding commissions in the mainland US after 2009, I am still accepting commissions for bridal shoots like this one… pick some wonderful locations, think of a concept or theme if you want, and spend some time making art together.

Every time I look at these photos, I keep thinking OMYGOSHTHEY’RESOBEAUTIFUL and it’s because Eileen and Wouter are blissfully happy to be together. Their joy really overflows.

The “blue” images are from our stop at the WGBH building in Watertown. Ashley almost-Pizzuti and I scouted the area the day before the wedding on our way to the fancy Boston Magazine Weddings Issue launch party (I felt awkward at the party if you really want to know) and decided that would be a good place for photos. Oh boy, it sure was. Thanks to the accommodating communications director at ‘GBH who saw us shooting and rather than kicking us out like so many other establishments are wont to do, instead invited us to share photos for their membership to enjoy. How cool are you WGBH? You earned my lifelong support with that smooth move.

We went to one final location to get some fun photos at the end of our time together. These are from the “colosseum” that is the Harvard Stadium in Cambridge. I have driven past that place several times before, and even marked it into my GPS as a prime place for a bridal shoot… and here it is.
