Michelle & Eric!

This was my last wedding of the wedding season. I still have 2 more in late November, but Michelle and Eric ended the long line of weddings for this year. And what a way to cap it off! I met Michelle and her wedding party at the Brass City Barber Shop for a very relaxed morning of hair and makeup. We were able to get some pictures done before the ceremony. Then there was a first for me... a ceremony in the dark! It wasn't really planned that way, but the sun was down, my strobes were out, and the ceremony started! I then had to do the family, wedding party, and Michelle and Eric's photo in the dark as well. I'm always worried about what my clients think about when we do things differently, but Michelle and Eric loved the night time shots! A big thanks to Cynthia Brown for assisting me and getting my lights situated while I shot!

Here are a whole bunch of images, some of which are my favorite ones this year!

From outside shooting in through the reflection of the glass.




She really couldn't have been happier!

There were 4 bridesmaids cameras sitting on the table. The challenge was getting them all to turn on and stay on, then take the shot before the screens went out.

My assistant Greg got tickets to the 600th Monday Night Football game last night. Also in attendance was Greg's friend Brian (who's wedding I shot) and my cousin Billy from Boston. I had never been to the new Gillette Stadium before so I was looking forward to the game, eating some overpriced food, sitting back and enjoying... oh wait... no sitting! Standing room only tickets! It's not as bad as you might think. We watched from around the 50 yard line most of the game. Greg and I took a walk around one half of the stadium for some pictures.

The long walk to the stadium. I was hoping for a great shot of the stadium, but it's blocked by all the shopping centers. It's a paved paradise.


Hello to you too Teddy Bruschi!

This is a standing room only view. Typically looking between a few people.


Then it was off to wander around the stadium.

Good game, good game... I really took this shot to see what camera gear the pro shooters had.
