Joel: Portraits of a Bagman

Spent Monday morning with uber-exclusive handbag maker Joel Storella over at my favorite studio making some images for his new website. I always really enjoy the challenge of working with other creative professionals, and Joel was no exception. Being able to collaborate with someone who sees and creates the way Joel does just helps to push the images that much further – there’s certainly no room for “good enough.” The above image will be part of the welcoming page to his site, but for his bio shot, he wanted something a bit more dramatic. I can do dramatic.

His new site, JoelStorella.com will go live soon, and thanks to Maureen for introducing us. And if you want one of his bags? Start saving your pennies, some of Joel’s bags are made of alligator and ostrich and can cost up to $15k.

Nadia & Joel: Married – New England Aquarium

Last weekend I had the pleasure of shoot Nadia and Joel’s wedding at the New England Aquarium. Truth be told, I’ve been looking forward to this wedding since we shot their engagement photos last winter, I mean, how many weddings have sea lions barking in the background during the ceremony? Or sharks…oh yeah, I’ll get to the sharks in a minute.

OK, let me back up for a bit. We started the day with Nadia at their hotel before heading to the aquarium.

Then we headed over to the aquarium for some more photos and the ceremony.

Pat & Kate: Engaged Idylwilde Farms, Acton

"new england wedding photographer"

When I first met Pat and Kate at his family’s Idylwilde Farms in Acton (also about 5-minutes from where I’m moving in a few weeks, so I’ll be a frequent farm visitor), Kate casually mentioned that they’d been engaged for 2-weeks (and their wedding is in October). When we got together for their sunrise engagement shoot on the farm on Friday, I asked Kate how they met, and her answer summed up why I have the best job in the world.

“Well, I’ve been in love with him since I was 14 – even though he didn’t know I existed.”

Now how is that a story you just don’t want to be a part of telling?

Friday started with an alarm that went off at 4:15 a.m. (and ended with Jess and I picking out our new puppy) and in between, Kate and Pat and I made a few pictures.
