OK. This one is pretty self explanatory. Have a little fun on the big day. I say this from the point of the photographer as I think you’re frame of mind really comes through in your images. Everyone talks about having your own style and that is what sets you apart from everyone else, but how about your fame of mind? Weddings are a joyous occasion and you may have hear the song “Electric Slide” for the past four weekends, but you need to keep in mind that the guests have not heard it in quite some time and that this is a unique and special event to them so it should be unique and special to you as well. I try to look at each couple, their families, and friends as a way to connect with people I might never have met. I think it should be easy to wake up on a Saturday morning with a smile and I’m always looking to give 110% to the client and to have some fun while doing it.

This photography was made during the full mass wedding ceremony in Providence, Rhode Island at  St Peter & Paul Cathedral when they asked the bride and groom to go around and make a show of friendship. Andrea was going from bridesmaid to bridesmaid and on the end was her flower girl and I was able to grab this with my long lens. I love the sense of motion and the colors that really accentuate the mood of the photograph.

Over the 4th I shot a wedding for a close friend who grew up with me in Maine and went to Maine Maritime with me. He was married at his home on Bailey Island in Maine. It was a great wedding with the ceremony taking place on a schooner in the harbor and the reception taking place under this huge tent on the water with lobsters galore. It was a great time and I’m glad I shot this as their wedding present. What a unique day for two special people.
