WEDDING AT THE ESTATE AT MORAINE FARM

In the beginning of August we traveled to the Boston MA area to photography Rori and Marcs amazing wedding at the Estate at Moraine Farm. What a gorgeous location! 

This image was taken at the end of the night. The building behind Rori and Marc is a Tea House. They actually had their ceremony on the opposite side. But they did a first look right in this spot. Isn't it beautiful?

For this image, we definitely had it a little more staged and artistic. It was super dark out. We had to add in back lighting as well as front lighting. Luckily, we still had a little blue in the sky.

We had Rori and Marc glance down. Pretty much to their brand new wedding bands! Pretty simple. Neal shot this really wide to incorporate the entire area. I really like how you can see a bit of Rori and Marc's reflections in the fountain. They actually stand out pretty clear. Then it slowly fades to the Tea House as you look to the bottom part of the fountain. 

I love it! Great location! Amazing couple!

Samoset Golf Course

Neal posted an image he took from Samoset Golf Course in Rockland Maine the other day on his Facebook page. It was so beautiful!

What Neal failed to mention is how he woke me up at 7:00am getting his camera ready. I had no idea he was planning on going out to the course in the morning. He got some great shots at sunset and through out the day. I couldn't believe he was going back out so early because he is not a morning person but he'll do anything to get a great shot! The curtains and doors were opening and closing. Once it was quiet, the door opened again. Neal had forgotten something he needed. Once he got where he needed to be for the shot he clicked the camera and noticed he left the battery in the hotel room. Luckily the lighting wasn't right so he got back just in time to get the shot. The sun peaked through the clouds for about 30 seconds. Neal got the shot and then the sun disappeared behind the clouds and then it started to rain.

Once he was done we both fell back asleep! When we both got up I said, "I hope you got a kick ass shot earlier!" He showed me what he took and I said he could wake me up any time to get images as amazing as that! I absolutely love the light house in the back ground and the couple walking out on the pier. Having the people in the image shows the scale of this place and makes you want to be there.

People do not always realize what it takes to get amazing images. They can happen at all hours of the day or night. And they can be in the best or worst of weather. Neal will take advantage of anything he can. I actually wouldn't mind this image in print!

ANNIVERSARY SHOOT AT THE CHIMNEY BLUFFS PART 2!

My image! This was one of the only shots I got to take on this adventure. I knew there was going to be alot involved with this shoot and I would mostly be assisting Neal. No problem!

I knew my opportunity had arrived when Neal needed to take a moment to find the perfect spot to put Vanessa and Anthony. I wanted to give them something a little different, knowing Neal's main focus were the Chimney Bluffs. (The Bluffs are a natural landscape along Lake Ontario. They are referred to as earthen spires).

The sun was still a little high in the sky for anything dramatic, but I could play with a silhouette! I had them pose on the opposite side of where the Bluffs were. They are almost framed in by the tall tress. The sun was pouring through and Lake Ontario was glowing. I asked Anthony to almost go in for a kiss and naturally Vanessa picked up her dress and leaned back, taking Anthony with her! Beautiful! And that was it! Neal was calling for us because he found "the spot". Haha. I was still very happy that I at least got one image for the couple!
