Cathy, Ralph and Harley Davidsons

As a photographer, I'm always honored to be invited to document a wedding that I wouldn't otherwise be able to witness. It never gets old witnessing two people uniting through love. It's always new and you can feel the joy. All of this comes to mind when I reflect back on Cathy and Ralph's wedding from this summer. They were married by a friend out on the grounds of the Barn at Gibbet Hill. The overwhelming feeling I got from their ceremony was pure joy and happiness. Happiness that two people found each other.

Cathy and Ralph first met through their common interest, riding Harley Davidson motorcycles. They were acquaintances at first, and officially became a couple on a ride to Killington, Vermont back in July of 2006. Their engagement shoot in Newport last fall was a blast! They decided to bring their bikes which made perfect sense. Oh, and if I was giving out awards I'd have to give Cathy and Ralph the award for best dip of the season! You can check it out below...

Abby and Eric

Photographing Abby and Eric's wedding was like documenting a personal family member's wedding. I've had the pleasure of photographing Abby's sister's wedding along with a handful of their friends' weddings as well. It was great to celebrate with so many familiar people.

Abby and Eric decided to host their wedding on the south coast of Mass. where Abby's family spent their summers growing up. Fitting too, since Eric is an avid surfer -- everyone was right at home! Below are a few sample images from their wedding day. The cake topper says it all...

Lauren and Richard at the Seaport Hotel

This summer has been one of the wettest ones many of us can remember. However, I have to say that we've dodged the big storms at all the weddings in June and July. Lauren and Richard's celebration was no exception! Richard was beaming from ear to ear as we took prep photos. On one hand he was getting ready to tie the knot with his best friend and love of his life, and on the other, he was completely blown away that the rain had stopped!

Check out a few images below from their wedding (as always, you can click on any image to view it larger). You can also view their slideshow over to the right. Oh, and a big shout out to Lauren Pimental at the Seaport Hotel in Boston who made everything flow so well that day!
