one of the first things laura mentioned when she contacted me about photographing her wedding was her colors…pink and green. somehow she could tell that i loved pink and green…
laura, her family and joe all warned me that he only has one smile. a closed mouth smile and that was all i would get… apparently though he does have a bigger smile. you just need to lay him in some grass and stand over him with a camera in his face to get it!
you would never know it, but there were a gazillion gnats out while we were shooting…
laura and i both agreed we would not take pictures in a gazebo… but i don’t think this really counts as a gazebo. it was sort of an alterna-gazebo and therefore i could reason enough with myself to take a picture inside it.
our next stop was dunkin’ donuts… while laura and joe do both enjoy donuts and joe is a cop (sorry joe, i couldn’t resist), dunkin’ donuts actually has some sentimental value to them…
laura and joe started dating almost 12 years ago. sitting in a mcdonald’s parking lot (which eventually became a dunkin’ donuts), laura cleverly asked joe to go out with her. years later, he brought her back to that same mcdonald’s (errr… dunkin’ donuts) and cleverly reenacted that moment when he asked her to marry him…
this was a great mural… however, the staff did not want us taking pictures inside. i couldn’t help it and snuck a couple in…
maybe i should have persisted….i think if i got arrested while shooting an engagement session it would become clear to everyone how fanatical i really am about my work…
p.s. if my nutritionist is reading this, please know that i did not indulge in having a donut.
