We had the opportunity to capture a seaside wedding (in the fall!) a few weeks ago. Here's a short clip from Megan and Benjamin's First Look right along Plymouth Harbor! So much love and happiness (and amazing sunset lighting). Huge thanks to Jim for helping me with this event!
Wedding Film Teaser - Tom and Gerard | Canoe Club Ballroom (West Bridgewater, MA)
I'm a big fan of fall in New England. Crisp air, apple cider donuts, and of course, weddings! I'm thrilled that I could be part of Tom and Gerard's amazing day to capture all the fun (and yes, this couple knows how to have fun)! So many smiles, so much laughter, and so much love. Here's a sneak peek into their beautiful wedding. More to come soon!
Family Portraits at Mary Cummings Park
The fall season in New England creates such picturesque backdrops for family portraits. Here's a sample of our latest family photoshoot taken at Mary Cummings Park in Burlington, MA.
Indian Wedding
I had the pleasure of capturing a traditional Indian wedding this past weekend. From all the fanfare of the baratt procession to the lavish decorations to the delicious cuisine, the event was filled with so many smiles, laughs, and amazing moments! Thanks to Bob for asking me to 2nd shoot this event with him.
Overwhelmed with Thank You Messages!
We're used to receiving words of appreciation about our services, but I don't think I've ever received so many "thank you" notes from a group as I have just now. These notes were written by the students in one of our school performance videos, and I am truly humbled by these heartfelt messages. It makes me happy to read that my videos are so helpful and impactful to preserving their performance memories! Here's just a sample of the messages (ran out of space on my floor)!
Fogelberg Performing Arts Center (Burlington, MA)
I'm thrilled to be part of the musical theater fun, this time filming for Burlington High School's production of "Shrek the Musical" at the Fogelberg Performing Arts Center in Burlington, MA. Four cameras, five audio channels, and a super talented cast and crew to keep me going!
Runkle School
I'm thrilled to be filming for Runkle School, my alma mater from many years ago!
Boston College
Back at Boston College for the uber talented performances of Dance Organization of Boston College and Boston College Dance Ensemble! Love the energy!
Family Portraits at Wildwood Park
Beautiful afternoon for some family portrait fun at Wildwood Park!
Family Portraits at Mary Cummings Park
Fun morning of family portraits at Mary Cummings Park (Burlington, MA)! Love the smiles!!
Mitzvah at the MFA
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!

Wedding Fireworks (literally)! - Ally + James
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)!
Wedding Highlight Film - Tori + Chris
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 - Tori + Chris
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!
Wedding Film Teaser - Tori + Chris
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.
Wedding Highlight Film - Jaclyn + James at Boston Park Plaza Hotel
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!
Dance recitals are back!
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).
Wedding Teaser Film - Jaclyn + James at Boston Park Plaza
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!
Classy Boston Wedding
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!
