What a gorgeous couple!

I shot Lidiane and Derek's wedding on August 29, the weekend that a hurricane was passing by and I have to tell you, thank God for my good friend, second photographer/ assistant Andreia. Obviously we didn't go out side to take photos, well, at least not Lidiane and Derek. The Willowdale Estate in Topsfield is one of my favorite places, the facade is awesome, and the inside too. So we did get some outdoor shots, Andreia holding the umbrella for her and I, getting wet, and the bride and groom by the doors. It was totally worthed! This couple is so sooooo so sweet. She is dead gorgeous, did I mention that she is Brazilian :)

Anyways, I loved working with them, and with both of their families too, her mom was very emotional, and I did simpatize with her, I actually kind envision that my wedding would been as nice if my mom could had come then too. That made extra special for me, I was very happy for Lidiane, she was surrounded by her loved ones, including the ones from far back home.

The first picture bellow is when they saw each other for the first time. I had an amazing time, and inspite of the wheather, the wedding was perfect!
Congratulations Lidiane and Derek!!!

Laura and Alex - Hartmans Herb Farms - Western Mass photographer

I know I have been a very bad blogger, but between weddings, high school senior season, a few newborns, house renovation and also trying to enjoy a little bit of the summer, I haven't had a lot of free time. I love the wedding season, I get to meet so many nice couples and for sure I enjoy all of them for their uniqueness.

I recently shot Laura and Alex's wedding, they got married on a beautiful day, the lighting it was just fenomenal, kind of overcast but not really, just perfect! Also I love that Laura and Alex they gave me plenty of time and inspide of the changes on our original schedule, we still had a lot of time to do photos of everybody and a really good time with the bride and groom only.
The whole event took place at one of my favorite places, the Hartmans Herb Farms in Barre MA, if you don't know them, you must to take a trip and enjoy their beautiful gardens. As you can see bellow, good place for photos. Anyways, it was a fun, beautiful wedding. Thank you and Congratulations Laura and Alex!

Willowdale Estate Wedding - Photographer Topsfield MA, North Shore

This is a small preview of this past weekend wedding. It was one of the most amazing weddings I've done. The couple is sooo awesome, their family and bridal party was phenomenal to work with, and the Willondale Estate in Topsfield MA, is probably my favorite location for a wedding. There are so many great spots for photos, the place is beautiful and charming, and their staff is really nice and professional. It was a pleasure to work there. But above all this, I must say that the best part was the amount of time that the bride and groom planned for photos, they saw each other before the ceremony and had a private hour just the two of them, after the ceremony we had another hour for family, friends and bridal party, and then they joined their guests at the cocktail hour. It was the most perfect schedule a bride could give a photographer, especially in a place with so many photo opportunities. Thank you so much Eric and Shannon, it was an honor to photograph your special day!

Westminster Wedding after the Ice Storm - Wedding photographers

I have been so bad about blogging, I know...
I had a crazy good end of year and on the top of that I went to Brazil for 20 days to spend the holidays with my family. It was great to see everybody and recharge my batteries for this great new year.

Right before I left to my vacation, I shot this last wedding of 2008. What a challenge!!! The wedding was on the weekend after the Ice storm that hit Massachusetts. The church had normal power and it was a beautiful ceremony. I love te arquicteture of this place. The real hard work came afterwards, at the reception. There was no light whatsoever. All candle lit, very romantic actually but really, really hard to photograph, there were not enough light so the camera could catch something to focus on... what an experience. I'm really thrilled with the results!!!
Here are some of my favorites from that day.
