Kim and Rick had a beautiful Vermont wedding. Even a little rain didn’t slow things down.
A great wedding at All Saints Church and DiBurros in Haverhill MA. The rain held off and a good time was had by all.
A candle light ceremony at Bedford Foursquare church and a fine reception at Promises To Keep in Derry NH.
Another great wedding at the Executive Court in Manchester. Jenn and Pat did a great job. A great group of friends that always put on a great party. This is my third or fourth wedding with this group, they really keep me on my toes!
One more wonderful wedding at the Keene Country Club in Keene NH. It was threatening rain hours before but the skies cleared and the sun came back for some great shots.
Angela and Chris had a great day and perfect light for their wedding at Candia Woods Golf links in Candia NH.
…….every wedding should have a covered bridge!
These are some shots from Jennifer and Pats Engagement session. The wedding is in June and we all can’t wait, it promises to be a fun one!

You did my wedding five years ago; do you still have my negatives? Can I still do my album? My answer is always yes, of course we can. Then even after that it is still months or years before the next step happens. Perhaps it is because of money, maybe it is because after a year or more of planning brides and grooms are burnt out with wedding activities, maybe there is suddenly a new baby or house to deal with. It is very true that after the wedding life happens.
to order an album after the wedding.
This does make the package less expensive up front but it also makes the chance of never getting an album very real! Life happens and before you know it your first grader is asking to see where you got married. You have a CD…. someplace. The photos are on your laptop, the one in the closet that you haven’t used in two years because it had too many viruses. You had them online for a while but you lost the password or their time ran out years ago.
to share, view and copy images easier than ever before. They have also made all of us less careful and riskier in our storage of the most important images of our lives. Even without knowing it. It is so easy to take and save an image that we don’t give the long term safety of those images a second thought. Digital images are lost forever every day and it doesn’t take a house fire to do it.
without the proper back up and they are gone. We all easily forget what is online and where, and how to get to it. I fear that in ten to twenty years the call will be “My old CD doesn’t work in the new XYZ drive, how do I get to my wedding pictures to show my grand children?” Do you remember the 1.44 floppy disks or 8-track tapes… do you even know what they are?
and there is no telling where we will be in ten short years (and they get shorter all the time). The one thing that has stood the test of time is the book. Big, bulky, collecting dust on the shelf, they always work if the power goes out. Their OS doesn’t change. They don’t get viruses. And they are harder to lose. They do burn but hey, that is what the CD is for… the one you copied and gave to your mother… you did that too right?

So think carefully about getting an album as soon after the wedding as you can. The truth is that great photography is the only thing that you will have after the wedding is over. Centerpieces and cake toppers are gone, the DJ has packed up and left, the fancy catered meal and all the alcohol is… well….. you know where that went! The Tux is returned to the tux shop and the dress is off to the cleaners to be packed away forever.
If you chose a good photographer you have hundreds of photos. Now you need to put the same care into those as you did with all of the planning before the wedding. They are all that is left… except the rings of course!

It’s springtime (almost!) and wedding season again. Nothing like starting it off with a bang at one of the most picturesque locations in NH, the Mt Washington Hotel. Natasha and Vincente did a great job and had a wonderful time in the New Hampshire north country.
