My husband and I had the honor of being guests at the wedding of our two special friends, Christina and Clayton, this past Sunday. What an incredible day it was. Spring arrived just for them!! It took place at The College Club of Boston, on Commonwealth Ave. just a block from the Garden.
If you have not heard of, or been to this gorgeous gem of a venue, you must check it out! It is perfect for a small, intimate, yet elegant wedding ceremony and party. It is also a B&B! You will feel like you have stepped into a mid-18th century home and parlour. The walls are painted in pastel colors with beautiful trees and birds, the windows, the curtains, furniture, lighting, and the grand piano take you into another world.
Here are some of my favorite images of two very special people!
Christina looks spectacular!
The room set a beautiful mood for the intimate ceremony.
The happy couple posing for photographs by family and friends.
Surrounded by loving friends….
The groom’s cake! Clayton is a fabulous violist! If you are in need of one, hire him!
Everyone needs that picture!
I just loved Christina’s dress!
First dance…
This is the second bouquet toss, the first time it sailed all the way back to the man by the window!
….this time to a good friend and brides maid!
and finally, the real bouquet…. Christina did all the flowers herself!
It was a great day! Congratulations again to Christina and Clayton!

A favorite bouquet….
This one includes my favorite lily! June is a good time for these I think. She included Starfish ornaments – they were married by the seashore! Nice touch. Blush was the florist.
Other ideas:
You can make a homemade bouquet for a garden wedding. Sunflowers or what ever is seasonal can be spectacular. Whole Foods has a flower and bouquet service that I hear is “green” and very affordable.
Give away a packet of sunflower seeds (or whatever your bouquet features) in a tiny metal bucket for every guest! The bucket would have the guests name and table number on it. Neat idea!
Do any of you have a favorite florist that you are working with or clever idea about making your own? Please leave a comment so others can benefit. Thanks!

I am proud to be chosen again this year to receive the Bride’s Choice Award from the WeddingWire Network. This network recognizes vendors that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds (brides and grooms) through surveys and reviews.
If you are a bride or groom, check out the WeddingWire storefront. There are many wedding professionals, from florists, dress shops and planners that are great at what they do. You can read reviews from real customers to find what you need to finish planning your wedding day.
You can even make your own wedding website to keep family and friends informed. It is free and easy to set up. My clients are doing that and having a great time with it!

My wonderful clients, Pamela and Jason, who are getting married this July, just sent me their ‘Save the Date’ card and it is great! We had a cold day in December to shoot it, 20 degree weather! But they don’t even look cold here, do they? Great job and good fun! So here it is as promised!
Totally love this save the date concept! Thank's Pamela and Jason for letting me post it!
I need to credit the graphic designer on this project! Pam, leave it in a comment! Thanks.

I would like to share with you one reason why I love my job. Just a few weeks before Christmas, I received a call from a man named Tom asking me to created a few portraits as a surprise Christmas gift for his wife. The images were to include their two grown kids with the family dog, Bailey. We had a great session and I was very excited to hear how the surprise went. On Christmas morning I kept thinking about how the handful of clients that were surprising their loved ones that morning with portraits were doing!
The day after Christmas I found this letter in my email box. It was from Tom conveying the whole story of how it all went at his house Christmas morning!
_____________________________________________________________________
Hi Kim: Merry Christmas. I hope all your family arrived safely and that you had a wonderful day.
Well my wife was overwhelmed with the portraits. I framed the large 16×20 as well as the three 8×10’s. As she was opening her presents she opened one of the 8×10’s which included Bailey first. Her reaction was priceless; I haven’t seen tears of joy like that since I gave her a nice piece of jewelry a bunch of Christmas’s ago. And she thought that this one portrait was it. Then she opened another 8×10 of just Courtney and Greg, and was floored by how good it came out. Then I had her open the 16×20 that I framed in a very nice mahagony wood frame. To say she was blown away was an understatement. And she couldn’t get over how poised Bailey looked in the shots; it almost seemed as if she was a show dog air brushed into the picture.
Well, I can’t thank you enough for the photographs, and my wife Angela asked me to thank you from the bottom of her heart. These portraits made for a very special Christmas, and they will be proudly displayed on one of our main walls in the house. I am sure we will receive many compliments as friends and family see them, and I’ll be sure to recommend you to them.
Take care
Tom

To hear the whole story told by Tom was a gift for me! I almost felt like I was there!
Here are two of the portraits that I created for them.
I believe that the greatest part of my job as a photographer is preserving the memories of the families that I photograph. It is a moment in time, preserved for future generations.

Today Alexandria and Jason were married in the beautiful historic First Baptist Church in Storrs, Connecticut. This was the snowy wedding day that they had hoped for! All went well besides the weather – they both worked hard to pull off this intimate ceremony and dinner for close family and friends. They are both UConn students and Jason has planned a surprise honeymoon in snowy Vermont! I can’t wait to find out what wonderful destination he chose.
Here are a few images of the day.

I wish you all a very happy, peaceful and prosperous new year.
Enjoy your family and friends; and take time for yourselves as well, to reflect on your dreams and aspirations for 2010. I think it will be a wonderful year!
Thank you to all of you who touched my life in 2009. Because of you it was a very special year for me and my photography.
Stay tuned for my first wedding of 2010 on this Saturday January 2nd. It is happening right here in Storrs, Connecticut. I will post images next week!
Yours,
Kim

Meet my new friends and clients, Pamela and Jason. They drove all the way down from Massachusetts to meet me before the snow storm yesterday for a photo session in the freezing cold. Why? We shot for their totally awesome ’save the date’ card!
The card will have a bunch of ‘paparazzi style’ images of them and maybe I will post the end product here. In the mean time – here is one of my favorite images of them.
Can you guess where we shot this? Yes, in Connecticut; yes, just before the snow storm….humm
