J+G E-Pics at Wingaersheek Beach Share

Seriously, a foot of snow on the ground and it keeps on falling.  If you are dreaming of warmer weather, than take a moment to escape by viewing these pictures from J+G's engagement session.

We had a fantastic time Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester.  It was late summer and we wanted to enjoy every second knowing that the summer was drawing to a close.

J&G are a very playful couple!  They had a wonderful time often forgetting we were photographing them.

She has the best smile!

Back to school I go.... Share

I had the great honor of being asked to participate in a panel discussion on "Launching Your Creative Career" at Boston University's Center for Digital Imaging Arts (CDIA) this week. In attendance were over 80 current students and recent graduates from the Photography, Digital Filmmaking, 3D Animation, Graphic & Web Design, and Audio Production.

Joining me on the panel, was an amazing group of dynamic and talented group of professionals, all alumns from the various programs: Anthony Marquette, Rory Fitz-Gerald, Kat-Alix Gaudreau, Shauna McNamara, Cody Signore, and Benjamin Greenspan.

It was enthralling to hear the panel share their experiences and recent projects, many have been working on the "The Surrogates" a Sci-Fi thriller starring Bruce Willis. Did you know that in 2008, there were 8 major motion pictures filmed in the greater Boston area? We are becoming know as Hollywood East.

Then the evening switched to networking, giving students a chance to meet fellow students from other programs and chat with the presenters. It was exciting to meet so many photography students and to see their enthusiasm for their art. For a moment, I wished I could go back to school and be immersed in the creative environment that CDIA creates. I would love to take Filmmaking.

Kudos to Bruce Jaranian with CDIA for organizing this amazing event.

J+D at Veronique and the Old South Church Share

J+D began 2009 surrounded with love and laughter at their wedding in the first days of January. It was an international affair with guests traveling from Europe and South America to celebrate with them.

 

The ceremony has held in the intimate Gordon Chapel in the Old South Church which created a cozy atmosphere despite the bitter cold outside.

 

Then off to their reception at Ballroom Veronique in Brookline. Jen was an absolute sweetheart and was willing to brave the frigid temperatures for some outside photographs. We love the warm glow illuminating from the windows.

 

The Club Room at Ballroom Veronique features Tudor architecture and hand carved details in the wooden paneling.

 

A bird's eye view of the guests enjoying their dinner. The food is always spectacular at Veronique and the sister properties: The State Room and Belle Mer.

 

Jen's Dad beamed throughout his dance with his girl! Actually, he was beaming the entire day!

 

Jen was absolutely stunning that evening. This picture is reminiscent of 1940's Hollywood glamor.

 

Stealing a few private moments on the staircase.

 

Jen and Dan, thank you for the great honor of photographing your wedding! We enjoyed each and every moment. - Karen & Chris

redux ii - photography by Lou Jones Share

If you love photography, then you must see the current exhibit by Boston based photographer Lou Jones. He is an award winning photographer whose photographs have been exhibited in the Smithsonian and Corcoran Galleries in Washington DC, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SOMA) and the Fogg and De Cordova Museums in Massachusetts.

He's a Nikon "Legend Behind the Lens" their highest distinction among photographers. His three successful books all have a unifying theme of social consciousness. And did I mention that he photographed twelve successive Olympic Games.

To say Lou knows photography is an understatement. Chris and I are honored to call him teacher, mentor and friend. The exhibit runs through February 28th at Gallery at the Piano Factory in Boston.
