Merinda and Ben were married in September on a perfect summer’s day in Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard. After getting into her beautiful dress – which her mother made! – Merinda hopped on her father’s boat and we puttered around Edgartown Harbor while Ben walked over from his hotel and waited for his bride-to-be on the docks. And that was their first look. So fun! The ceremony was on the grounds of Atria restaurant, under a great big tree. I just love Martha’s Vineyard. This was such a lovely wedding, and I’m so honored to have been a part of it.

Oh, at the beginning of this year I used Merinda and Ben as models when designing The Orange Parrott Collection, my hand-lettered Save-the-Dates printed by Parrott Design Studio. They were featured on several blogs, including Invitation Crush and Elements of Style. In case you thought they “looked” familiar :)

Ahaha this shoot was so fun! Charlie and Teddy are a pair of rascals in the form of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel + Poodle. Les Cavapoos! I really tried hard to get a photo of Charlie airborne, with his face in the frame, but it was impossible! He jumped too fast, he jumped too high! So all I got was hairy chestiness. All the running around and by the end of the shoot I was cavapooped. Ha ha!

Amy & Bill

I’m a little behind sharing this wedding, but I thought with the dreary Thursday we’re having, images of Amy and Bill’s wedding (which was held on a sweltering July day) would bring me back happy memories of summer. Ah.

Families from both sides met for the first time over Peking duck at China Pearl. The next day, Amy and Bill said their vows before a small group of family and friends at the Boston Public Garden. Lunch, cake, and an ice cream bar were served at the Hampshire House. Amy had her hair and makeup done by Noel McKinnon at the Gilded Lily, a bed-and-breakfast in the South End. And the bouquet, boutonnieres, and cake topper are made of clay!

Such a fun shoot with Hamish the Bernese Mountain Dog at his home in Jamaica Plain. He’s a sweet cuddly goofball! I just love this breed.
