Tiffany and Colin's Winter E-Session

Spring is finally (ever so slowly) hitting over here in the Northeast, and that means engagement sessions will be starting. Since I've been behind, I wanted to share one of my favorite cold-weather sessions, to show that fun and great photos can be had even in less than ideal conditions.

Tiffany and Colin are getting married in June, and they wanted to do their session before the holidays last year. Normally, November has some mild days along with some cold days, but this last November was very cold...and on the day we did this session in the North End neighborhood of Boston, it was 30 degrees! But they were just fabulous, and we had a great deal of fun (oh, and that orange coat Tiffany wore...too cool).

Tiffany has already blogged a few of these photos (and more) on the Wedding Bee blog as Miss Toucan -- our favorites are mostly the same. :-)  I can't wait for the wedding!

Recommended Colleagues

From time to time, I like to talk about other people who also work at weddings and are instrumental in making the day very special.

Intermezzo Chamber Players are classical string music professionals who have extensive experience performing at ceremonies of all types. Carol Premack runs the group and is incredibly knowledgeable about how to arrange music for different ceremonies, and different parts of a given ceremony. You can see firsthand just how savvy she is on her blog -- the breadth of her knowledge and the range of music she plays is really impressive.

(Carol's son Jay Premack happens to be an outstanding Washington DC based photojournalist and wedding photographer, and I thank Jay for introducing me to Carol)

Rev. LisaAnn Donegan of Ceremonies From the Heart is ordained in interfaith practice, and like Carol, has a wide range of experience at a variety of ceremonies to draw upon. LisaAnn does plenty of weddings, but she also does other occasions such as baby namings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.

I often tell clients that I try not to follow a formula when I photograph their special day -- that I really strive to get at what makes their particular celebration special. I can say with confidence that Carol and LisaAnn do the same -- they have a very special and distinct way of relating to their clients, and they can adapt to any situation.  I feel privileged to be able to work with them whenever I can, and I recommend them both extremely highly!
