Thrilled to be shooting with Jim today at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA). I've been to the MFA many times (as a visitor to see artwork), but never worked at it as a vendor. Truly humbling to be shooting footage in the same room where priceless paintings and sculptures adorn the walls and floors! And I love how one of the large halls was transformed from a quiet viewing gallery into a hopping dance floor with a hypnotic club-vibe!
So excited to share Ally and James' wedding highlight film. Amazing beachfront-resort venue, check. Gorgeous wall-to-wall blue sky, check. Magical fireworks to close out the night, check. Super fun couple with beautiful smiles, check and check!
Thanks to the Margate Resort for the warmth and hospitality. And huge thanks to Ally, James, and their families/friends for allowing us to capture the day. And now.... Ally and James' wedding highlight film!
Nothing says summer-fun like watching fireworks, especially when it is at a wedding! Congrats to Ally and James on their amazing wedding (and stunning fireworks display at the Margate Resort)!
There are so many amazing elements about Tori + Chris's big day. Super-fun wedding party, stunning backyard tent reception, ocean-front wedding ceremony, and oh yes, the happy smiles on Tori and Chris' faces as they delivered their thoughtfully composed vows to each other.
Congratulations to Tori and Chris on their amazing wedding day, and thank you for having us capture all your beautiful moments!
Wedding vows and ring exchanges... the final moments before being declared a married couple! So much planning, so much anticipation... and of course, so much fun to be sporting some new hardware (in the form of jewelry)!
We take great pride in the quality of our audio (as many professional filmmakers will tell you that "audio" is just as important as "video"). Both the officiant (Kelly) and the groom (Chris) were wearing small lavaliere mics on the lapels of their jackets to capture the ceremony and vows. There was also a small mic attached to the mic stand (which was used for the PA system for guests, not visible in the clip below). That's why you're able to hear Tori, Chris, and Kelly so clearly. And yes, it was quite windy that day, but we used special covers on the mics to minimize wind noise. A specialized audio recorder was also placed near the string trio to capture the musicians and applauses. Are we nuts about audio? Yeah, a bit. But we think the results speak for themselves (sorry for the bad joke)!
Here's a short clip from Tori + Chris wedding ceremony overlooking majestic Rye Harbor. I love how these two can hardly contain their excitement as they say "I do". More to come soon!
Tori + Chris - Wedding Vows and Ring Exchanges
Introducting Tori and Chris... two fun-loving people who are avid fans of superhero movies! So when I heard the Marvel Avengers theme song being played by a string trio at their ceremony (as part of their processional), I knew I had to create an epic wedding film teaser for them. More to come from their amazing wedding soon, but for now, enjoy this sneak peak into their wedding day.
Huge congrats to Jaclyn + James on their wedding at the historic Boston Park Plaza Hotel. Love their tophat-salute introductions and indoor fireworks! Enjoy their wedding highlight film!
It's so great to be able to capture dance recitals once again! I've been invited to work with various student dance groups at Boston College this year, and the performances have been spectacular! So much energy, such skill, it's amazing to these dancers in action. And yes, while COVID restrictions are starting to lift across Massachusetts, I'm still wearing a KN95 when I'm working in theaters (at least for the time being).
We had such a great time working with Jaclyn and James at their super elegant black-tie wedding. We still have a ton of footage to review, but here's a "teaser" film to see what's coming. Enjoy!
Congrats to Jackie and James on their "Great Gatsby themed" black-tie wedding over the weekend. We had a great time working with the couple and their friends/family at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.
As we're going through the hours of footage, I thought it might be fun to share a few freeze-frames from their wedding day! More to come soon!

We use macro lenses for every single wedding shoot, usually for wedding rings, jewelry, and other small detail shots that we want to make appear larger than life! But I recently decided to try out my macro lens on a lone sunflower that my daughter brought home one day, and the results are stunning!

Yup, it's fall again... one of my favorite times of the year. The changing of the leaves to their deep red and orange hues makes for some amazing imagery (and great backdrops for fall weddings and photo shoots)! Just took this picture (via drone) overlooking Burlington, MA. Happy autumn!
Fantastic time working with Jim Greene from Boston Wedding Films on a recent wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel Boston. Jim asked me to shoot 2nd camera for the day, and we had a blast capturing all the fun and love. Here's a link to the couple's highlight film! Enjoy!

Some cool images from a wedding we helped film at the Four Seasons Hotel Boston last weekend! Great couple and stunning decorations! Thrilled to capture the champagne toasting flutes wide-open with the Canon 50mm f/1.2L lens for some beautiful bokeh!
