Congratulations to Lauren T, Melissa M, and Samantha L who all just won engagement sessions from yesterdays bridal show! Lauren has already called us to set up her session! We can’t wait to work with her and her fiancé this summer. Here are a few ideas for those of you who missed it. Looking for great ideas for your table?

Cape Cod Wedding Show :: Cape Cod Photo Booth

Tom — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:43:24 +0000

Well I have had a extremely busy January and was excited to get back in the grove of things this month. I traveled to 3 different conventions in the month of January going to wedding and portrait conventions all around the country. One of the coolest things I saw in my journeys was a photo booth at Mystic seminars. I loved it so much I bought one! We will be offering this new service to our Cape Cod weddings, high schools and partiers this spring and summer! Unlike traditional photo booths this system allows for you to incorporate more than a few friends but without really taking up that much more room. The images are yours to keep and prints are available online after your event. Call us for more details or to book your studio booth! 508.833.0080. Come by and see me and Amy at the Cape and Islands Bridal show at New Seabury this Sunday from 12-4. We will be giving away some pretty cool things (engagement sessions – Cape Cod photo booth coverages) and raising some money for a pretty good cause. Tickets can be purchased online here

Key West Wedding :: Marriott Beachside Hotel :: Phyllis + Jeremy

Tom — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 13:23:36 +0000

The last time I was photographing a wedding in Key West was 10.10.10 with Emily & Eric. Well I made it back this year for 11.11.11 maybe I should go ahead and book 12.12.12 hahaha! Phyllis and Jeremy won our Facebook contest early this year for their Key West wedding which worked out great since they where getting married the same week my family was on vacation there. One of my favorite spots in the world for a wedding is Key West. My couple was actually from New England and met while working the wedding scene themselves in Newport, RI. They had a simple outdoor ceremony at sunset overlooking tropical Key West waters in front of close family and friends. After the party and some Key Lime pie we cruised down to Duval street where there was a huge street festival for the power boat racers which where in town that weekend. So much fun and of course we had to end it with a shot at the Southernmost point in the USA!

Bahamas Wedding :: Pelican Bay Hotel :: Stephanie + Michael

Tom — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 03:32:24 +0000

So after a few weeks of 2nd shooting for my friend Dave Hansen here on Cape Cod and Scituate it was off to Florida for a couple of destination weddings. Did I mention I don’t really like to sit around too much. First up was Stephanie and Michael’s Grand Bahama wedding at the wonderful Pelican Bay Hotel. The rehearsal dinner was an island style bbq complete with conch fritters and Sands beer. We were a bit nervous about the weather on the day of the wedding but the rain held off at least long enough for us to get the majority of the images taken. Marva Munroe was one of the best planners I have worked with. If you are planning a destination wedding to this tropical location differently give her a ring. Congratulations to Stephanie + Michael I’ll see you in April!

Cape Cod Wedding :: Captain Linnell House :: Katie + Chris

Tom — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 01:46:23 +0000

My last Cape Cod wedding of the 2011 season was an absolute pleasure to photograph. It had been year’s since I had been at the Captain Linnell house in Orleans. With it’s proximity of Skaket Beach and it’s wonderful lush gardens makes this 1800′s sea captain’s mansion an ideal location for a wedding reception. Congratulations to Katie and Chris!! Chris thank you for your service to our country you will be in our thoughts and prayers this holiday season especially.

Cape Cod Wedding :: Lighthouse Inn :: Stephanie + Brenden

Tom — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 16:21:24 +0000

If you are looking for a place in the Mid-Cape area to hold a wedding on the water there are few better than the Lighthouse Inn. The lighthouse built in the 1850s severed as a beacon to seafarers for decades before being turned into an inn and later restaurant. Stephanie’s family had been vacationing near the west dennis beach location for years so it was only logical for her and Brenden to choose this historical location for their wedding venue. Congratulations to you both!

Tom — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 02:37:43 +0000

OMG talk about AMAZING crazy light. I hadn’t seen a sunset quite like this in a very long time. According to some of the staff at the newly renovated Sea Crest Beach Hotel this is a common occurrence. I like to think it’s all because of the our crazy beautiful clients we get nights like this. Congratulations to Jennifer and Mike…..two very lucky and very in love people.
