Kathleen and Nick's Photodate with Mariah in Boston 11.28.08

Kathleen and Nick came to see me about their wedding a few weeks ago... I liked them right away and was so happy when they decided to include me in their plans. K & N are two busy and hard working people. Kathleen is in event planning so she is organized and efficient! When they came to visit me she told me she wanted to do their engagement photos right away so they could use them for holiday cards... no problem, I said... and here we are the day after Thanksgiving on our date!
P.S. It's a good thing I am not in these photos because I have completely over indulged in pie!



We met at Boston Common, Kathleen really liked the idea of the Frog Pond. I am sad to say that I didn't even know this existed! It's a super cute skating rink right in the middle of the common. We didn't do any skating (which Nick is really relieved about) but Kathleen did bring her skates which made for a nice wintery prop.







Ear muffs too!.. I think this scene is very "Charlie Brown Christmas."








Nick prefers the warmer activities like snuggling to skating...



Kathleen doesn't seem to mind the snuggling either...


Just in case you forgot where we are... this cart had a tshirt that said "Wicked Pissa" which I wanted to buy and then forgot to go back and get.



Next we headed over to North end... Kathleen really knows how to get around the city because she used to live near the Common... we actually ended up right near the Old North Church, where Melissa and I photographed Nicole and Brian's wedding last month. The funny thing is, I really wanted to get back to this particular street because when I was there in October I thought it was really cool- but didn't have much of a chance to look around...
I thought this alley was interesting...



Did I mention it was sprinkling the whole time we were shooting? K & N are troopers, and Kathleen had the right accessories!








This is my favorite shot of the day. Kathleen and Nick had their first date at this little restaurant. So romantic!









There was a really good smell wafting down the sidewalk toward us... turns out it was from this bakery. I don't know what these things are, but aren't the gorgeous?



The lady behind the counter looks less than thrilled about me and my camera.




Remember that show "Mad about You"? Maybe I am dating myself- anyway it was on in the Early 90's. At the beginning of the show they had all these cool Black and White photos of the two characters, Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt. The photos were of them doing ordinary things around NY, this photo reminds me of that...




Nick looks pretty happy to have scored these treats...




And then he treated me to a hot chocolate- how's that for a fun afternoon?







Thanks Guys! That was so fun, I'm really looking forward to the big day!

Angela and Gregg took the plunge! Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

So when we arrived and saw this dock, we had an idea. To our delight Angela and Gregg were totally down with it! We met the day after the wedding for this 'secret' photo session. Mostly it was a secret from her Mom(who bought the dress) but I think that even she will agree that these photos are worth sacrificing the dress for!



















There I am over on the right in the water up to my chest waiting for the action to start. Mariah got the shot from the back as they ran down the dock.










Here's the ramp up...







OK, so here it is! What I know Angela and Gregg have been dying to see! Scroll quickly to get the full effect...



























Here's Gregg pulling his mermaid out of the water...





Here I am wading in for my 'money shot' and there's Mariah waving after the last shot of the week :(





One last smooch.





Well, it was the best time ever and I sure am sad that it's over. I hope that everyone has enjoyed all of the wedding photos over the last two weeks. If you want to see the rest be sure to sign up on Pictage to get an email when they are ready.


Thanks for a fantastic destination wedding and overall good time!


-Trish and Mariah

The Snap! Photo Lounge Travels to the Dominican Republic!

Angela and Gregg really wanted to have the Photo Lounge at their wedding, and although we were not able to bring the regular set up, we were able to do a mini version and it was just as fun! Here are some of the highlights for the evening...

Angela and Gregg's Reception - Dominican Republic - Punta Cana Golf Club

So here we are, finally arriving at the reception. Does it seem like it's taking along time? We have so many great photos that it would be one gigantic blog post, so this seems a lot more manageable. Not to mention the fun that everyone must be having getting to see new photos every day! I must say that I feel like it will be so sad when there is no more Angela and Gregg to blog! Maybe they will have a baby right away and I can blog that...... Nor pressure Angela, just a thought. Anyway, enjoy today's installment!








These flowers on the tables were so amazing, obviously local.







Sweet little menu cards at each place setting.


Here's the view from the deck.



Nothing wrong with cocktails poolside AND beachside.



Table 10 is the best!



It was so pretty. The ceilings were SO high.





The big entrance, woo hoo.



The very romantic first dance.



A little dip for good luck.



A lovely toast by Gregg's brother Todd. He had some sweet stories about Gregg.



They laughed.




They cried.




The maid of honor telling about Gregg asking Angela out in college, numerous times.




Apparently the friends did not approve, but hopefully they do now!




The other best man telling Gregg stories, Gregg is looking a little nervous.




The Assumption crowd...it's in Wustaa!




Here's the yummy cupcake bonanza for dessert.




Angela and her Dad dancing.





They had like a 'real' DJ. We were thinking that is might be house music all night, but he played for the crowd, very fun!



Watch out! Crazy white man dance moves coming at cha!



Angela working it...



I think this is specific jump and bump move that these guys always do.



The ladies were sweaty dancers too!



I love this photo that Mariah got in the bar. I love her legs in the mirror and the girls trying to order two drinks.



Did I mention the heat...





This is Angela's friend who help with the hair during preparations. Apparently there was a hair snafu that needed some fixing!




End of the night smooching out on the front step. They had fun lights that changed the color of the front of the building all night.





Check back tomorrow for the Photo Lounge Photos. Also, click here to sign up on Pictage to see all the photos when they are ready.
