Longmeadow Wedding

Saturday I was in Longmeadow, MA for Kristen and Greg's wedding. They were married at St. Mary's Church and had their reception at the Longmeadow Country Club. I'll post some stills when I get them uploaded.

I like shooting at St. Mary's. The long center aisle and the balcony give a lot of options for covering the procession and recessional. The Country Club has a lot of beautiful spots for outdoor photos, and the main house is broken up into several rooms for cocktails and dinner, with an outside tented patio for dancing.

Assonet Wedding

On Thursday, I was at Independence Harbor in Assonet for Ruth and Ryan's wedding. I hadn't been there before, and the facilities were so well maintained that I though it was brand-new. I was surprised later to read on their website that it's been in operation since 1976!

We were all lucky, as rain never really threatened. I'll post some video stills soon.

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.

Williamstown Wedding

On Saturday, I was in Williamstown, MA for Jess and Michael's wedding. They are both Williams College alums, and were married at the Williams College Chapel. The reception was just up the street at the Williams Inn.

We had great weather and were able to do some shots in some of their favorite places around campus.

Linden Hill School

The last two days, I've been in Northfield, MA, taping the end of year ceremonies at Linden Hill School. I believe this is my fifth year taping there. Thursday night is their awards night, where they hand out sports and academic awards. Friday morning is Prize Day, graduation for their 9th graders who are moving on to high school.

From their website: Founded in 1961, Linden Hill School is the nation’s oldest junior boarding school for language based learning differences. Linden Hill’s highly individualized approach to crafting a learning remediation program for each student has gained Linden Hill an international reputation as a leader in language-based learning remediation for middle school boys.

Lenox Wedding

On Sunday, I was in Lenox for Arian and Aaron's wedding. They were married at Cranwell Resort on a beautiful May day. The ceremony was outdoors on the beautiful lawn. Everything was so enjoyable, from the ketubah signing to the reception toasts. There wasn't a moment where people weren't smiling and laughing.

The Cranwell staff, under the direction of Samantha Talora, was superb, as usual!

Bat Mitzvah

On Saturday, I was in Florence, MA taping Izzy's Bat Mitzvah. The service was at Beit Ahavah (they use the Florence Congregational Church), and the reception was at the Log Cabin in Holyoke.
