All I can say is WOW! Sarah and Mark’s wedding was absolutely amazing at The Brass Heart Inn in Chocorua, New Hampshire. What a breathtaking location to have a wedding and what started as a rainy day turned into a perfect day for their wedding. The location and all the details truly reflected Sarah and Mark. I loved the fact that I got to sneak off with them right after the ceremony to get some beautiful portraits along the lake! I think they enjoyed those few minutes to reflect and just enjoy the moment before joining their guests to celebrate. Congratulations!! A **SLIDESHOW** of some of my favorites from the day.

Julie and Dave were so much fun to photograph! They said they weren’t comfortable in front of the camera or were used to “PDA” but they were awesome…I barely had to pose them at all. Fort Foster State Park in Kittery is a beautiful location and a secret gem that they shared with me. I just can’t wait for their wedding, 05.17.2008! Enjoy the **SLIDESHOW** of some of my favorites.

I had a blast photographing the Harry Potter Midnight Magic Party at the Barnes & Noble in Nashua, New Hampshire! I can’t believe how many people were there. They had activities for everyone from face painting to potion making to character look alike contests and everyone was having so much fun. They also had actors playing the characters from the books and they were absolutely amazing….kids were running around getting their autographs and the store did an amazing job with the logistical aspects, everything ran like clockwork. Around 10 pm they closed the store to everyone except the first 250 people in line and then we waited until the stroke of midnight. I wish I could have gotten a picture of everyone in the parking lot (which was closed to cars), but it was too dark, obviously its midnight! There were at least 1,500 people out there!!

Gilderoy Lockhart…if I remember correctly Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall are behind his cape.

T-shirts commemorating Harry Potter! Everyone was sad that this is the last book.

Severus Snape…

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd person in line. They were there at 6:30 in the morning to get in line!

Buying the first book! He said he was going to stay up all night to finish reading it:)

OK, I know the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has already been  released, but the last and final book Harry Potter and the Deathly Gallows is being released at midnight this Friday and I was hired by Barnes & Noble to photograph their Midnight Magic Party at their store in Nashua, New Hampshire!  I am so excited!!!  It’s going to be so much fun photographing people dressed up like the characters and all the activities.  Stay tuned for pictures:)

Becky and Mike had an amazing wedding day at the Westford Regency in Westford, Massachusetts yesterday.  I had the pleasure of photographing Becky & Mike’s engagement session last fall.  Since then Mike has lost almost 50 lbs! which is awesome!  They had one of their pictures from the e-session on display with a mat signing board and he looks like a completely different person.

What an amazing group of family and friends who were definitely there to celebrate with Becky and Mike. Everyone tore up the dance floor and had an amazing time, they even tried to pull me out on the dance floor:)  Check out their **SLIDESHOW** to see some of the action!

07.07.07 was THE biggest wedding day this year! It’s funny too, because Jenn and Tim booked me before I realized the significance of it! They had the most spectacular wedding at Dexter’s Inn in Sunapee, New Hamphire; the views were absolutely breathtaking. Family and friends enjoyed tennis, croquet, swimming and boating the entire weekend. The wedding day went off flawlessly thanks to Jenn and her mother Jan who planned the entire event and were even finishing up last touches the day of. Jenn made her own wedding cake which was beautiful and yummy:)  They had also been taking dancing lessons and had their first dance choreographed! The crowd loved it!!  The day was filled with lots of emotion, laughter and tears, which you can see in the **SLIDESHOW** Congratulations Jenn & Tim!

I LOVE this picture, her mom is trying so hard not to cry.

Escaping the rain, which started at the end of the ceremony.

The gorgeous wedding cake, made by Jenn.

The tears….

And the laughter…

Tasha and Ari had a wonderful wedding at Church Landing at Mills Falls in Meredith, New Hampshire.  They had an added surprise of fireworks over Lake Winnipesaukee, which were originally supposed to take place on July 4th but bad weather postponed them until the 5th….lucky for Tasha and Ari!  The day started off a little chaotic, lost keys, lost jewelry, but in  the end everything was found, the day was perfect, and their wedding was absolutely beautiful!  Enjoy the **SLIDESHOW** of some of my favorite images.

Wow, it’s been almost two weeks since my last blog entry and I have some catching up to do. Here’s a quick note on what’s been going on. My June 30th wedding, was a blast! Sophia and Andy have requested that I wait to blog their wedding though:(

Stay tuned for my postings over the next few days on:

• Tasha and Ari’s 07.05.07 wedding which had fireworks!
• Jenn and Tim’s lucky 07.07.07 wedding from yesterday which was filled with lots of emotion.

Hope everyone had a great July 4th!!
