Cape Cod Weddings | Cape Moments

Cape Destination Weddings  |

We had the great pleasure of heading down to the Cape for an amazing wedding at Wequassett Resort and Golf Club in Chatham last weekend.  It was a bit on the chilly side, but not cold enough for Theresa and I to miss out on getting our beach time in.  We were truly spoiled while living in Monterey, CA.  The beach was about a mile from our house and we always made time to get a run in or a little r and r.  There is something almost romantic about having the ocean, the surf and the sand a part of your day to day life.  Somewhere in between a Hemingway novel and Jimmy Buffett.  Well, it's something to dream about....but for now take a look at a few photographs we made in between the wedding activities:  














Stay tuned for posts for the premier of the G+M Photobooth, and the fantastic wedding as well.

Boston Brain Tumor Ride 2011 | National Brain Tumor Society

Boston Brain Tumor Ride 2011  |  National Brain Tumor Society

For the second year in a row Theresa and I volunteered for the annual Boston Brain Tumor Ride put together by the National Brain Tumor Society.  It's been a decade since my Dad passed away from a very aggressive brain tumor, and my Mom's cancer has been in remission for a number of months now.  So you can see this organization and their mission to raise awareness and raise money to fight brain tumors is a cause we find truly significant.

We woke up early to severe rain, but by some miracle from the time we arrived at the ride in Waltham until the moment the last award was given out, it held off.  Spirits were high and all the generous people were out to have a good time for a great cause.  One of the teams, Team Bunny, had raised an amazing $250,000 in only 5 or so years.  Crazy impressive!  Please find more information about these causes here:

Stay tuned for the Fusion (stills + motion) Slide-show we're working on from the event.

Thanks again for having us play a small part, we're happy to do it!

Friends of Boston's Homeless | Beyond Shelter Gala | House of Blues

Friends of Boston's Homeless  |  Beyond Shelter Gala  |  House of Blues

4.28.2011

A few weeks ago, while working on the house (all Theresa and I do now) and listening to 92.5FM, I heard this ad for the Friends of Boston's Homeless Beyond Shelter annual gala.  Not knowing anything about the organization or what the gala was all about I contacted the events director and volunteered my photography services.  It sounded like a great cause, helping Boston's homeless not only get off the streets but to get lasting housing and jobs.  From their website they write, "One of the most effective solutions to homelessness is to help homeless individuals gain independence through education, employment, life skills development, and permanent housing."  It's an amazing cause and come to find out it's run by some truly giving, generous and amazing people as well.  I was very happy to donate my services for the evening to lend a small hand.  Find out more about the event on their website, but there was live music by Mango Blue, amazing food by dozens of Boston restaurants (see the complete list here), and a great raffle.  All raising money for the Friends of Boston's Homeless mission.  The House of Blues was packed!  Mayor Menino even came out and said a few words.  Please think about attending next year as it was more than worth the price of admission.  Now take a look:

You can see the lines of endless food samples, all donates by the generous restaurants.
Here's Rita Cary, one of the personalities on 92.5 FM The River tasting from Hamersley's Bistro.

Boston Red Sox | Birthday Surprise

So I'm not much of a huge 'hey look at me it's my birthday' type of person. But Theresa (who likes to celebrate her birthday 'month') talked me into doing something, but wouldn't tell me quite what. We had talked about getting a drink at the top of the Prudential building, you know something low key.  She held me in suspense until right at 5pm when I was heading out to the T.  I was giving her the 10th degree on what I should wear and she finally gave in and told me to get off at the Fenway T stop.  Sox game, yeah!  I don't know what it is about Fenway Park, but maybe it's that my Dad used to take our family to games every now and again when my brother and I were young.  You enter the building and are inundated with the aroma that just means baseball, this mix of foods and beer you wouldn't consume any other day.  But you let yourself go a little because being there is special, come on it's Fenway.  Then you climb a flight of stairs, which reveals the field, all the colors of the game, the Green Monster.  It definitely holds a place in the hearts of any real Bostonian.  Theresa then she surprised me again when she arranged to have some friends show up as well, pretty cool.  Of course I brought a camera to snap a few, take a look: 

I know I'm one lucky guy.  Thanks T!!
That's the Thriller dance, in case you were wondering.

















Happy Tuesday!
