Florida Keys wedding photography | Destination Wedding John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park Key Largo

Here in Boston, winter has officially set in upon us.  It's cold, and some might say a little on the miserable side. So on days like this, especially around the holidays, I tend to turn up the Jimmy Buffett holiday pandora station and day dream a little about perfect wedding days like this one below.  Close your eyes and imagine the Florida Keys, warm sun on your face and a tropical cocktail in your hand.  We had an amazing wedding weekend working with Kim and Dan and will likely never forgot it.  See what I mean below (and click on any image for a larger view).

Oh and in case you missed it a while back this wedding was featured in Weddings Illustrated here:

We chose this beautiful long dock for their romantic first meeting.

The intimate ceremony site at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.

Love this shot Theresa saw as Kim and her sister walked down the aisle.

We met up with Kim and Dan the day after the wedding and made a few more relaxed images at dusk.  And it was Theresa who was the brave one to get in the cold water with an underwater housing to make these super unique images.

Crane Estate Engagement Shoot | New England Engagement Photographers

Crane Estate Engagement Shoot | New England Engagement Photographers

Falls is the time for engagement shoots.  The temperature is a little more bearable (as in less sweating on camera), and of course the New England Foliage is king.  Now for the day I met up with Brenna and Stephen we didn't have the typical Fall day by any means.  It was much more like when we used to photograph in Monterey, CA on a daily basis. And what I mean by that is fog, fog and more fog.  The Crane Estate in Ipswich, MA was engulfed in fog, and I could tell they were a bit disappointed, but I was psyched.  Weather always play an uncontrollable element in every shoot and the fog simply added to the mood of the images.  We lucked out that halfway through the shoot the fog was burning off and we even had time to hit up the Crane beach.  Never a bad shoot when part of it involves going to the beach - yes please!  Take a look at a few of the favorites (and click on any thumbnail to see if larger).

Thanks again to Brenna and Stephen for a great morning and we're looking forward to shooting your wedding at the Renaissance Golf Club next year.

Tree Hunting Adventure | Hopestill Farm, Sherborn

Tree Hunting Adventure  |  Hopestill Farm, Sherborn, MA

Growing up in CA, Theresa and her family always used to go out to a tree farm and find the perfect tree and cut it themselves.  Kind of like that scene in Christmas Vacation but without the snow (they don't know snow in Sebastopol).  On the opposite end of the spectrum, growing up my family used to harvest our tree out of the attic and match up the appropriate branches with the spots on the pole.  Yes, slightly different traditions. Needless to say, we've taken up her family's method and always hunt down our perfect tree and cut it ourselves. It's a fun day out and helps to get us in the holiday spirit early.  Here's a few shots I made from the day (click on any of them to see a larger view):

I may have been distracted from the hunt because of all the cool looking birch trees.

Nothing caps off a day off like sugar cookies! Oh yeah.

Yes that is Theresa decorating with a tooth pick, extreme detail.

They were almost too good looking to eat, almost....

I also decorated some, but I decided to go with a more R-rated theme so probably not appropriate to post here.  They tasted just as good.
