South Hadley Wedding

On Saturday, I was in three towns for Amy and Chris's wedding. We started in Easthampton, MA for some quick shots at the bride's parent's house. Then on to All Saints Episcopal Church in South Hadley. It was packed with guests—it was standing room only, and on what felt like the only hot day in June! After some formal photos at the church, we ended up at Oak Ridge Country Club in Feeding Hills.

So I'm working on a montage of photographs for Valley Women's Martial Arts' 30th Anniversary, scanning about 200 photos. Here's my favorite image from the batch:


The woman in red looks perfectly balanced and at ease—and yet ready to spring! And the woman in the upper right is not only a black belt, but also the poet laureate of Northampton. VWMA is an amazing dojo in Easthampton, MA. Owned and run by women, they hold classes in martial arts almost exclusively for women and girls. My nine-year-old has a yellow belt in their Powergirls class, and will soon be testing to add a blue stripe.
