Stephanie and Joe's Wedding |Springfield, MA Wedding Photographer

People ask me if I do weddings. The answer is yes, but I have a few requirements. First I am a natural light photographer and as of now my flash and I do not have a great relationship so I try to limit myself to weddings that are outside or in well lit situations, I feel that is best for both me and the bride. The second requirement is that I need laid back brides :)

Stephanie and Joe fit perfectly into my requirements. If you watched the weather at all this week you know that the weather today was touch and go- they were very close to having the wedding inside and I was going to have to get to know my flash a little better. Luckily Mother Nature gave the first blessing to this marriage and the forecast changed overnight!

One of my favorite things about weddings are the details:
first a beautiful location, The Delany House...

next a cool cupcake wedding cake, courtesy of the bride's brother I believe...

at every place setting there was a little box just like this, I am told they contained chocolate. I am proud to tell you that I didn't rip into them before everyone arrived...

Of course my favorite details of the wedding are the two primary people, the groom...

and the bride...

two cute bridesmaids don't hurt either...


Anyone that knows me, knows that this is one of my favorite pictures at every wedding, the groom's face when he sees his beautiful bride coming down the aisle...


And I think this is the groom's favorite moment- the kiss!


Every groom needs some guys to make sure he makes it down the aisle and Joe had a quite a crowd- aren't they good sports?

Not to be left out Stephanie was surrounded by her own great group.

Stephanie's daughter was her maid of honor and she did a great job!

But my most FAVORITE part about photographing a wedding is that I get to take pictures of people that are truly happy. And nothing is more beautiful than a happy person...


don't you agree??

Every time I photograph a wedding I am truly grateful that this couple has welcomed me into their circle for their special day. I always wish that my pictures can do their day justice. Thank you Stephanie and Joe- best wishes!
