Kristina & Paul

Kristina & Paul contacted me back in November of 2008. I’ll never forget meeting them at a Papa Gino’s in Gloucester, MA to discuss their wedding plans! Fast forward ten months and you have one of the best weddings that I have ever witnessed. I started the day a little different and went to the groom’s house first. I walked into a cute little house where the boys were running around trying to look as good as possible for the big day. There is nothing more manly than hearing a groomsman say “Come on dude fix my vest for me” haha… After mixing it up with the guys for a little while I headed over to the venue where Kristina was getting ready in the bridal suite on the top floor. I arrived a little bit early so I was able to knock out all of those important detail shots ahead of time which made it so much easier for me. When I arrived upstairs Kristina and her bridesmaids were having such a great time mixing it up together. I think one of the best images of the day was the shot of Kristina struggling to get her head into her wedding dress haha! The ceremony took place just outside the reception hall on a beautiful lawn just across the street from the ocean. I have worked with their JP before and he did such a good job just like the last time we worked together. After the ceremony we headed over to the ocean and got some great formals on the rocks underneath a beautiful partly cloudy sky! The lighting could not have been more perfect! The reception was incredible and I have never witnessed a group of 100+ people dance to every single song that the DJ pumped through his system. I am so happy for Kristina & Paul and I thank them so much for their kindness to me on the big day. I’m super excited for everybody to see these images!

Courtney & Michael

Courtney & Michael had a wonderful wedding filled with antique cars, a homemade slide show presentation, a great DJ, beautiful venue and so much more! They got married in Middletown, CT at the Pavilion at Crystal Lake. I started the day early as I headed down to CT from Boston to get checked in at my hotel and relax for a little while before heading over to Courtney's house. When I arrived at Courtney's parents house everyone was in a mad frenzy getting their make up done. After mixing it up with the bride a little bit I headed over to the newlyweds home to take some shots of the groom and his groomsmen. Sadly it started to rain just before the ceremony started which meant that they had to move it inside on the actual dance floor. I don't think the guests minded much since everyone had a great view of the ceremony from their table. After the ceremony we took some quick formals and tried to get as many outdoor pictures as we could before the sky turned black. The reception was beautiful and the DJ really kept the dance floor packed all night. I saw my friend Jennifer & Josh dancing away who's wedding I am shooting later this month! Really excited for their big day! I'm also excited for Courtney & Michael to see their pictures when they return home from their honeymoon! Wonderful wedding...

Virginia & Ralph

I'll never forget when Virginia first talked to me on the phone. She had me blushing with all of the compliments that she was giving me! When she got around to describing her plans for the big day I knew that this wedding was going to be something spectacular! Boy was I right! Virginia & Ralph got married on Sagamore Beach followed by a small and intimate reception under a tent at her sisters house. Every single one of her guests were so kind to me and really made me feel like family! You definitely weren't going to leave this wedding hungry as the caterer kept supplying everybody with plenty of food throughout the entire day. I really had such a great time being around Virginia & Ralph. She pretty much made it impossible for you not to smile when talking to her! I'm so excited for them to see their pictures and I wish them both the best of luck in the future! This is a wedding that I will never forget. :)

Rainy & Michael

This had to be the most original wedding I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Rainy & Michael contacted me back in October 2008 and I knew from the very beginning that this was going to be one awesome wedding! Rainy did such a good job with everything including the making of her own wedding dress! Their wedding featured everything from a dancing bridal party entrance into the church, a macaroni and cheese version of the unity candle, a breakfast buffet for dinner, live music, a cake made out of yarn and an almost naked dancing Canadian family member! You pretty much knew as soon as you walked into the church that you were going to have such a great time! Especially after being greeted by a pair of great security guards stationed at the front entrance (see the first picture above) I had such a great time at this wedding and I feel that the pictures really captured their personalities perfectly! I cannot wait to get the finished product out to the both of them. Stay tuned for more updates coming this week...

Caitlin & John

john5481@comcast.net (John LoConte) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:04:00 +0000

Usually when I'm shooting a wedding and that 8th or 9th hour comes along I can't wait to get in my car, walk in my apartment, roll on the living room floor with my dog, jump on the bed, kiss my wife goodnight and fall asleep. This time around things were a little bit different. I was actually so bummed when the wedding was over! I have only met Caitlin & John a total of three times but I have talked to Caitlin many times over the Internet. Facebook anyone?! Ever since we met for their engagement session I could not wait to shoot the big day! They got married at the Branford House in Groton, CT which is near the Mystic Seaport. GORGEOUS VENUE! It's basically a massive mansion with a beautiful lawn right on the ocean (overlooking Long Island Sound to be exact) Linette joined me on this adventure and took some amazing pictures! I just love it when she comes with me! :) We started the day at the Mystic Marriott where both Caitlin & John got ready in separate rooms. We then headed over to the Branford House where I basically had to jump out of the car while it was still rolling since we got a little bit lost on the way over and then on top of it hit some wonderful construction traffic on the main highway. The ceremony was beautiful! They even had a really great woman playing the harp off to the side which definitely added to the atmosphere. The reception was just as great and the DJ had everyone dancing the entire night away. I got to work with some really great vendors including: Mike Connolly DJ (A+) Inspiration In Motion Videography (A+) and Lynda from Details Wedding & Party Planning (A+) If you are in the CT area or even Massachusetts I highly recommend checking them out! I cannot wait to finish up these images for Caitlin and I'm excited that we are making three albums for her! I hope to see the both of them again in the future! Stay tuned for more updates...

Carolyn & Aaron

john5481@comcast.net (John LoConte) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:47:00 +0000

On Saturday the 15th I had the pleasure of shooting Carolyn & Aaron's wedding. They got married in Somerset, MA underneath a beautiful tent right by the water with 250 guests attending. I have never met Carolyn before the big day so I was anxious to finally meet her and get to know the both of them a little better. From the looks of the decorations I can tell that both families are big sports fans. Just about everything underneath the tent had to do with either the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics or the Bruins! The weather was perfect! A little on the humid side but cooled off perfectly once the sun started to go down. The food was terrific! You had your choice of a complete lobster or marinated steak tips. The DJ quickly got the party started after dinner and had just about everyone on the dance floor for the entire evening. It's definitely a workout when you are shooting a wedding with so many guests but I couldn't be happier with how the images turned out. Both families were wonderful to me and I can't thank them enough for their kindness. I'm excited for Carolyn & Aaron to see the final product once they return home from their honeymoon! Stay tuned for more posts coming up in the next few days...
