After a lot of planning, endless computer hours and designing later, Altared Visions (my wedding collaboration with James of Undying Photography) has a website, cards, stickers, branding, social networking and two very tired but pleased employees.

Check out the new website at http://altaredvisions.com

Amazing couple, amazing location (The Whaling Museum in New Beford MA)…what more could we ask for? Here’s some favorites from John & Darlene’s big day! (Apologies for the brief post, I am plowing through a mile-long to-do list!)

Congrats you two!

Some favorites from Aime & Ryan’s wedding last month!

Set here.

I’ve known Kevin for some fuzzy amount of years that might not be so fuzzy if I ever saw him BEFORE ingesting a few too many at various dirty metal bars around New England. He’s good people and Michelle is as well. Michelle, however, hasn’t got the best luck. She lost her father weeks before the wedding and just a few days from the big day her gall bladder decided it needed to come out. I can remember yelling “oh come on!” into the ethos reading this all on Facebook. Give a girl a break!

But because Michelle is such a force of bloody nature, she march herself right down that aisle in her beautiful, handmade heels and married the man she loves, making him the luckiest slob in Worcester.
(Just kidding, buddy.) Not only did she walk down the aisle, she danced in those fancy heels all night and flew off to Hawaii for their honeymoon!

There were problems with the flowers, the cake melted, it rained…and it was still a great wedding full of laughs, good food and Rich Horror. Can’t beat it.

This is Jenna, I met her on…ready for this?…FRIENDSTER.

For the record, this is Michelle’s grandfather puttin’ the moves on Kevin’s nana. Hilarious.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is Rich Horror…classin’ up my blog.

And because the universe has a sense of humor, Kevin and Michelle got a beautiful wedding day rainbow.

…which was almost as colorful as they are. Almost.

Congratulations, guys! Have many, many, many happy years together. <3

Here’s a slideshow of some of my favorites from my first wedding of the season, Dave & Melissa’s!

My last wedding for 2009! I know Shelby from a knitting forum, so shooting her wedding was extra fun. She and Mark met on the internet and spent a lot of years not seeing each other in person very often…until now! We were crossing our fingers that Mark, who is from Wales, would get his visa in time for the wedding! It came just in time and we had some seriously beautiful foliage in New Hampshire as a backdrop for their beautiful wedding.

Here’s some favorites, flickr set here.

(This little munchkin was the ring bearer and just impossibly cute)

Congratulations Shelby & Mark!! You guys have a great story and I wish you the best in writing the rest of it!

I went utterly trigger happy at this wedding…with my camera, not a gun…so this one took a while! Chris and Darlene were married last month at Bittersweet Farms and they couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was beautiful out and their friends and family gave them quite a reception!

Here’s some favorites! Flickr set here.

Congratulations Chris and Darlene! Thanks for trusting me to capture your wedding day!

Pulled an all night-er finishing these up last night (and all of this morning), but dammit I wanted to catch up! Now I’m all caught up. Well, I’m not late for anything anyway. I still have another wedding and a roller derby to do this week!

Mara and David got married at Springstep dance studio and man, what a unique place! I had some giant orange walls to get around but all in all the warm glow of the orange and the diffused daylight from a floor to ceiling window did some nice things for the photos!

This family DANCES, too! Usually I’m done shooting reception dancing after a few songs, but these people really gave me something to work with! It was a great time!

Here’s some favorites. Flickr set here.

1 of 3 weddings down! Trying to catch up on work and stay on top of school has been crazy!! I have to do 2 shoots tomorrow for class, two family shoots coming up, 2 weddings to edit, one in November and the Providence Roller Derby championship bout to edit! Free time? What free time?

Colleen and Jeremy aren’t strangers to being shown off here, you might remember their engagement session back in the spring. They were the subjects of one of my favorite pictures I’ve taken:

Well, they finally tied the knot on September 12th, 2009. Here’s some favorites: [full set here]

Congratulations Colleen and Jeremy! You guys were so fun and I hope you have a long, happy marriage!
