Awesomely cold. Or cold and awesome. Both descriptions completely fit Andrew and Marybeth's New Year's Eve wedding at the Wyndham Beacon Hill. We did though manage to brave the cold (strapless dress clad Marybeth especially!) for a few quick rooftop photos just after sunset that are the early favorite for "best sunset images of 2015". Couple that with their sunrise engagement shoot from this summer and you start to see a trend emerging. Then throw in some New Year's Eve party favors and reveling, and these two couldn't have kicked off our year in better style.

I thought I'd kick off this snowy week with an engagement shoot from a few weeks back when it was decidedly less wintery. A couple of days after Christmas I met up with Holly  and Zac (and Layla) in Providence for a few hours (and dog zooming). Check out some of my favorites below.

With one day to go in the year, I thought today was the perfect time for my favorite blog post of the year, my best photos from 2014 in weddings and engagements. Tomorrow night will mark my 34th wedding of the year,the most I've ever done (and don't worry Marybeth and Andrew, we're counting your photos toward the best of 2015).

This was another great year, my fifth photographing full time since leaving baseball in 2009 (which seems like way more than five years ago!), and I shot weddings from as far north as the Mount Washington Hotel and as far south as Newport. We also spent back-to-back June weekends in the Berkshires, and, for whatever reason, the most downtown Boston weddings I've ever done in a single year, including two at one of my favorite new (to me) venues, the Museum of Science. Throw in a Fenway Park wedding with a military veteran belgian malinois, a friend from umpire school's wedding and a flexing squirrel (you have to scroll for that one), and I'd call 2014 my best year yet. Thanks to all the great clients who made it possible!
