Rachael. I think I just might have managed to commit the unique spelling to memory. Rachael and Peter wanted a low key, non-traditional wedding. Their number one priority: getting married. And while I’d like to think number two on the list of importance was the photography, I have a sneaking suspicion the quality of the wine out ranked me ever so slightly.  That is not to say that these two weren’t committed to getting good photos. In fact, they were a dream client  in so far as they gave me AMPLE time to get a variety of shots in many of the beautiful locations on Prouts Neck.

Photographing Rachael and Peter was a ton of fun. These two are naturally funny and charming and like to have a good laugh. And they are so into each other that it didn’t take too much direction from me to get them to relax and act naturally. For me a traditional, “safe” portrait is necessary but it’s not the one the makes me smile or tear up or laugh out loud. I love the images where there’s a true emotion, action, reaction, expression. These two gave me all that and more. Their wedding may not have featured the usual elements of a more traditional wedding — there was no dancing or large bridal party or elaborate floral centerpieces — but there was no shortage of poignant (or hilarious) moments for me to capture.

Special thanks to Rachael and Peter for having me at their wedding. I immensely enjoyed getting to know them and their friends and family. I also especially loved the HUGE slice of carrot cake they insisted I have — even with the raisins it was ridiculously good.

You can see a few highlights from the day below. Please check out the slideshow to see a more complete view of the day. I’ve also done a book design for them which you can see here.
