Jessica and Steve were married at St. Mary's, Nantucket with their reception at Nantucket Historical Association's Hadwyn House and Whaling Museum. Jessica got ready at her family's home on Fair Street and the light was so rich and wonderful that the feeling in their home was warm and calm.

Kristin and Pete were married on Nantucket at The Congregational Church and The Galley. In between the ceremony and reception we had some time to go around the island for pictures. The top one is in the bird sanctuary and the bridal party was at Brant Point. I found an old dictionary in the groom's house for the ring shot.

Joe McNally is basically my idol. He is one of the most accomplished, talented and creative photographers on the planet right now and I spent the day with him learning lighting. There is a time in everyone's career when you feel the need to grow and move on and that was the impetus for attending this program. Watching Joe for the day and working on lighting with my group was exhausting and worthwhile to say the least. It opened up my world photographically and began the thinking process all over again. Thanks Joe!

The top photo is Joe working with a model at the end of the day and the bottom one is my shot with my model in the kitchen using the window light as my main light and an SB900 as a fill off to the right of the subject.

Courtney and Billy were married at The Chanler in Newport despite the looming tropical storm Hanna. Not only are they the most gorgeous couple, but their wedding was out of this world. With the Rafanelli Events team, Winston Flowers and all the other wonderful vendors this wedding was spectacular.
