1 Comment on EMILY & CARLOS – WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT NINE ZERO HOTEL BOSTON

I had been looking forward to shooting Emily and Carlos’ wedding day for sometime. Actually it was since I met them for the first time to discuss the photography for their big day. The hotel Nine Zero in Boston is a wonderful venue and offers a stunning array of places to shoot portraits. This was one of the reasons, but the main reason was because Emily and Carlos were such great people and I had been really looking forward to seeing them for their Boston wedding day, especially after we had shot their Beacon Hill engagement session a month or so earlier.

They had the perfect day planned out. A nice early afternoon start meant that they were able to relax into their day and spend a bit of time with their immediate families before the ceremony and getting ready.

I started the day shooting with Emily and her family to capture some stunning getting ready shots of her and also to shot some of them all together before she headed downstairs to her and Carlos ceremony. I think that you’ll all agree Emily looked absolutely gorgeous in her dress and that we got some wonderful shots of her and her parents and brother.

Carlos was already waiting downstairs when I met with him on the day and was looking perfectly dapper with his smart tux and wonderful orchid boutonnière. We had the chance to capture some great portraits of him and his brother Cesar, before they went to the front of the ceremony room to wait for Emily. The Nine Zero hotel offers a really great place to get married in Boston. Apart from its perfect location close to the heart of the city, it has a great space for getting people together to celebrate. On top of that all the staff there were great to work with and very accommodating.

Their ceremony was great and Emily and Carlos were both very emotional which had everyone else going as well. Carol Merletti did a wonderful job of officiating the wedding and was a real pleasure to work with as well and I hope to shoot more weddings where she is officiating in the near future.

The party was great and it was a wonderful atmosphere. I did borrow Emily and Carlos a couple of times from the dancing and celebrations to grab a few more shots of them before the end of the night. There was one shot in particular that we had had in mind and that was to work in the “Beantown Pub” sign, just next door to Nine Zero into a wedding photo or two. You can’t get much more of a Boston wedding photograph than under a Beantown sign.

WAYSIDE INN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT – SUDBURY MA

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date May 10, 2012

This was not actually planned out as an engagement shoot, nor was it the ideal conditions for one either, with the rain starting to come down pretty heavy. When I met with Sarah and Nick to talk about their wedding photography at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury MA, they said at the end of the brief meeting we had, that they had not really had their photos taken together before. I couldn’t help it, I had to get them at least a couple of shots.

BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS — WAYSIDE INN ENGAGEMENT SESSION

I don’t normally bring my equipment with me when I go to meet couples for the first time. I’m also a Boston event photographer and on this day I happened to be shooting later that afternoon at an event at Gore Place in Waltham and so I had some of it with me. As I said the conditions weren’t great, but popping up the umbrella and shooting for literally a couple of minutes in the rain we got them some photos with each other. These are just a few Sarah and Nick’s favorites.

Despite the weather these guys had a great smiles on the go and The Wayside in and that surrounding area are really great fun to shoot it.

Looking forward to catching up with these guys later in the Fall.

MIT ENGAGEMENT SESSION – CAMBRIDGE MA

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date May 1, 2012

A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to help out and shoot with a fellow wedding photographer here in Boston. Sam Liang of Ze Liang Photography was shooting Rebecca and Mark’s engagement session at MIT and then down by the Charles River at the MIT boathouse just on Memorial Drive. I came along to help out with reflectors, lighting and to get an extra couple of shots as well.

MIT ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY CAMBRIDGE — MIT ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Boston as a city, I have found to have a fantastic local, and even not so local, community of photographers, willing to share and help each other out at almost a moments notice. The great thing about this is knowing that you are surrounded by a very good network of professionals who are able to help out when needed.

MIT ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS — MIT ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Rebecca and Mark were having their wedding day, the following weekend (again photographed by Sam) and they looked just great together in the grounds of the MIT campus. The wonderful buildings and the early evening light provide a classic setting for a Boston engagement shoot. The large pillars of the main MIT building gave a perfect backdrop and fantastic control over the lighting conditions. MIT is a really great location for engagement photos.

We finished off the MIT engagement shoot down by the water, with the familiar Boston skyline in the background and surrounded by the sailboats at the MIT boathouse. The jetty here gave a low vantage point onto the water and with the light now dipping below the tree line behind us and casting a warm glow over our couple. The evening provides some of the best lighting and these locations really capture it very well.

Sam did a great job capturing their MIT engagement photos and you can check these out and some more of his work at Ze Liang Photography.

ROCKPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION – ASHLEY & JOHN

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date April 6, 2012

Ashley and John are getting married in Rockport at Halibut Point State Park in September this year. We met up at the end of last month, to visit a few of the locations and do a Rockport engagement session as well, while they were both up from Long Island to sort out some more of the details for the day.

ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER ROCKPORT MA — ROCKPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION

The town of Rockport is a wonderful place in itself and Halibut Point States Park is a truly beautiful location to have their ceremony. Only a short drive from Rockport town center, this State park is site to an old quarry right next to the ocean and beach. They are going to have a ceremony over looking both, in late fall and I can’t wait to work with them both again for that.

ROCKPORT ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS — ROCKPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION

We started of at the entrance to the park, at an old out building. This provided a great backdrop to get going and definitely gave it that New England feel. After shooting here we quickly moved on into the park, as the number of locations on offer were fantastic.

I have shot e-sessions in Rockport before and every time I come back here I like the place more and more. Being a Massachusetts wedding photographer I offer coverage throughout New England, although find that most of the time, I shoot in and around Boston. I always relish the chance to get out of the city and to the coast and this day was a really great one to be by the sea.

WEDDING AND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER ROCKPORT MA — ROCKPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION

We made a looped trip around the quarry and took the chance of popping down to the beach as well; giving us a great variety to the look and feel of their New England engagement photography.

ENGAGEMENT SHOOT ROCKPORT MA — ROCKPORT ENGAGEMENT SESSION

I don’t think that you can come to Rockport for an engagement or your wedding photography and not try to get the famous red lobster house in at least some of the shots. Once we were in town we grabbed a cup of coffee, because although the sun was shining it was a little colder than it looked, and then headed straight there. Ashley and John were a real pleasure to work with and I’m looking forward to getting back to Rockport in the Fall for their wedding day.

My First year as a Boston wedding photographer and locations I would like to photograph

Post author By Roberto Farren
Post date February 25, 2012

It has been over a year now that I have been photographing here in the USA and just over a year and a half that I have been living here in Boston with my wonderful wife, Erin. After a settling period of getting my head around the move from the UK, I threw all of my efforts at making my dream of becoming a successful wedding photographer here in Boston a reality.

Last year was a really big year, filled with all the ups and downs that come with a move to a new country, the excitement of new things and the missing of those that are more familiar. Some days I felt I could have packed it all in and headed home, and others the exact opposite. Failing my US driving test the first time round (yes it is actually possible, even having driven for years) was definitely one of those low days, while sitting up in the White Mountains in New Hampshire camping with Erin and cooking the evening meal over a camp fire felt the exact difference.

So now that I have started to establish myself here in Boston and already having worked with some absolutely fabulous couples, I’m even more excited for this year and all those that I am going to get to work with.

Being one of the many Boston wedding photographers, I’m always looking at locations that would make for fantastic photo opportunities. While location is only a small part of what makes a great photo – light being of the utmost importance – I still have a list of places where I would love to photograph engagement sessions or weddings.

I would love to offer the chance for couples that would like to have their Boston engagement photos taken at a location off my hit list an extra 10X15 print on top of the other sizes that are included in the package. Even if you aren’t getting married, but would love some engagement style photos taken with yourself and your partner, then please get in touch.

So where are they then?

Walden Pond – Lincoln MA. A fantastic location with some really great settings and wonderful evening light covering the eastern side of the pond.
The deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum – Lincoln MA. A wonderful location that I have only visited the once, and am hoping to get back to soon. Wonderful sculptures placed in a beautifully landscaped setting.
The North End – Boston MA. I loved this part of town from my first visit to watch some of the Italian football (I still can’t bring myself to call it soccer) games from the World Cup in 2010. It has a great charm about the place and would make for some stunning Boston engagement shots.
Bunker Hill – Boston MA. Views over looking the city and water front access. You don’t get much more Boston monumental than this.
The Harbor Islands – Boston MA. After a trip out there last summer, I noted a number of places that would make for some really great Boston engagement session photos.

This is obviously just a small list of places in and around Boston that would make for some great engagement photos and as I am going through and writing these down, 20 others are popping into my head. If you or someone that you know is looking to have their engagement photos taken, then please pass along this post and let them know or get in touch to sort a session out, I would love to work with you to capture your photos.

I hope all of you who are planning your Boston or New England wedding day are having fun and enjoying the whole process. It’s won’t be too long before this summer rolls round and I can’t wait to start shooting with all of the couples that I have booked with.

If you are interested in booking me as your Boston wedding photographer then don’t hesitate to get in touch, I would love to hear from you. Drop me a line from the contact page on the website and we can get going that way.

All the best for your 2012 plans!

WINTER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN MASSACHUSETTS

4 Comments on WINTER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN MASSACHUSETTS

I had met Nicole and Shane back in the spring of 2011 when I was just getting settled living here in Boston MA after moving from London. We had taken their engagement photos in the Public Gardens in Boston and you can take a look at those photos earlier in the blog. We had a great time then and afterwards I had the honor of being asked by them both if I was available to photograph their MA wedding day in January of 2012.

For a January day in New England the weather was turning out to be very nice indeed. I had prepared myself for freezing cold temperatures and feet of snow but was instead presented with 63F, the sun shining and not even a breeze in the air. This was a perfect day for Nicole and Shane’s day and a great day for me as a wedding photographer in MA to be presented with these conditions at this time of year. It meant that we would be able to shoot outside for longer before we all lost feeling in our fingers and toes.

BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHES MA — MA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

I started off with Nicole and her bridal party and immediate family at the hotel just down the road from the Church in Randolph MA. I had the chance to meet the rest of the girls and capture the wedding preparations for Nicole and the rest of the bridesmaids. The little children their were awesome to work with and they gave me such a great reception, running up to me and giving me a hug even though I had never met them. I knew we would get some great photos with them throughout the day.

Nicole looked stunning in her dress as did the rest of her party. With her mum adding the final touches, I knew that we were going to get her some really great photos before the ceremony started. We had little while before leaving for the church and as well as capturing those un-staged moments in gave me the chance to work with some great light that was coming through the window.

MA BOSTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY — MA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

After capturing these shots of Nicole, it was time to get over to the Church in Randolph to capture Nicole’s arrival there.

: MA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Being new to the region this wedding gave me the chance as a Boston wedding photographer to shoot in a new location. The First Baptist Church in Randolph is a great building and provided the perfect backdrop for Nicole and Shane’s big day. It was a beautiful ceremony and you could tell that this was a very special group of friends and family attending.

After a wonderful wedding ceremony we made the most of the unseasonably warm weather and move outside the church for the group shots. The guys were looking very dapper and Shane was looking just as smart as the day I had first met with him and Nicole back last Spring. They were all really great fun to work with.

Nicole and Shane had a wonderful reception planned and I’m sure that they had the day that they had exactly planned spending their MA wedding day in the company of great friends and family.

Landscape photography in frozen Wells, ME.

Winter Landscapes Maine

I had wanted to get out yesterday morning to get a shot at Wells Harbor, ME, that I had had in mind for a little while. With the snow covering the ground I was hoping that we would get a nice sunrise to compliment the foreground but yesterday it was lacking a little something in the sky. This morning wasn’t as colourful as I had hoped but decided that it was time to brave the cold and see if the shot would work.

I had photographed a wedding in MA last weekend and during the day the temperature had risen as high as 68F and it felt like a spring day. This morning leaving the house at 06:30 it decidedly did not feel like a spring day, with the thermometer in the car registering a rather fresh -1F and the breeze making it feel a little colder, I knew that I wasn’t going to be lasting too long.

This first shot was taken just behind Lords restaurant next to the harbor, with the marsh steaming in the background.

The next shot was taken on the drive back and again was an image that I have been waiting to capture. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a little more colour into the sky and this may be worth another visit.
