Kim + Jeff | Mechanics Hall same day edit

It was really awesome to get to know Kim + Jeff and be part of their wedding. Amanda and I got to hang out with them at Armsby Abbey just a few weeks before the wedding and we knew right away that they were going to be a fun couple to work with. Amanda and Mike shot cinema along with me on their wedding day. They were married at Mechanics Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts - one of the world's great historic concert halls, ranked in the top 4 in North America. It was originally built in 1857 and restored in 1977 and an absolutely stunning building to be in, especially for a wedding!

We met Kim + Jeff through Addie + Dave, one of our awesome couples from last year. It was great to catch up with them as well. It was quite fitting given the venue that Kim and her bridesmaids got ready in the green room, and the ceremony on stage was something that was just incredible to experience. The party was amazing thanks a great group of guests and the Felix Brown Band who kept everyone on the dance floor all night and was absolutely one of my all time favorite bands. It was also really awesome to work with Jeff Newcum, an incredibly talented natural light photographer who was a lot of fun to work with. I'm always excited to work with photographers like Jeff who prefer to shoot with available light whenever possible. The florist was Jeff French of French Boquet Florist and they did a beautiful job with all the arrangements. That's a whole lot of Jeffs! (there was at least one guest named Jeff too!)

We filled in the band's break time with our same day edit presentation... enjoy!

Sperry Tents

A few weeks ago I headed a few hours north to a location near Castle in the Clouds in New Hampshire for a night to shoot a fusion promo piece for Sperry Tents Seacoast along with the incredibly talented Boston-area photographer Mark Davidson. Mark is he has an incredible eye for natural light, is really fun to work with, and most importantly his work is really outstanding.

This tent took the crew two full days to setup, if you look closely the ground slopes about 6' from one end of the tent to the other so the flooring had to be engineered specific to the location. The end result is something that is more like a meticulously constructed work of art then your ordinary tent. You can also see another Sperry tent in some of my films from The Willowdale Estate in the recent archives.

It was so cool to see this all come together. The team worked incredibly hard and despite how hard these guys work they all had a great attitude and made it fun. Enjoy...
