Recently I had the chance to photograph Barbie Tilman from Bumblebee weddings and her daughter along with some of her family members on the beach in Florida. It was so much fun that Chris and I will be traveling to Palm Beach over the weekend of February 19- 22 to do a limited amount of beach sessions. Please contact me if you are interested in a time slot. Here are just a few of my favorites:
Here is a collage of all our 2009 couples. It was a wonderful year with the BEST clients ever! We love what we do and I enjoyed looking over last year’s weddings and remembering each one! On to 2010.
Chris and I will begin this new year traveling to the Music City for the Digital Wedding Forum convention and the Imaging USA expo. Education is a very important part of owning a photography studio and we take the time and resources to make sure we are staying current on all the trends for 2010. We will also be traveling to Vegas (baby) for the annual Wedding and Portrait Photographers convention and attending Inspire Boston. Lots of learning is going on in this off season so we can be the best we can be this year. Chris is also in the process of building a super cool photobooth that will be available for all 2010 weddings and events, photos to come. 
Way back in October we photographed Jean and Brandon’s seaside wedding in the lovely town of Cape May, NJ. Jean and Brandon were guests at Erica and Gunner’s wedding here in Kennebunkport and when they asked us to come to Cape May to photograph their wedding we were so excited. Chris and I have never been to that area of New Jersey and it was really beautiful. The Congress Hall where the ceremony and reception took place was a grand historic hotel that was a perfect backdrop to their events. We arrived the day before and were able to capture their rehearsal on the lawn and attend their dinner that evening. Brandon has three children who were really fun and together with Jean they make a great family, we tried to take a lot of family shots of them together. We also met some wonderful people and enjoyed reconnecting with old friends Erica, Gunner and their new son. We were not able to stay for the entire weekend as we had to leave after their reception and travel directly to Martha’s Vineyard for Amrita and Steve’s wedding, which is blogged below. I chose a few to highlight here and there are many more on our website under destination weddings.
Amrita and Steve chose to get married on Martha’s Vineyard with just their immediate family and it was just incredible. Steve’s Aunt was the officiant which made it even more special. The Harborview Hotel was the perfect venue for such an intimate affair and had a great gazebo for the actual ceremony. I have actually added many more from this wedding to the destination section of our website, www.casmithphotography.com. It was hard to narrow down my favorites to those here because I loved so many of them.
We met Dave and Stephanie at the Wentworth by The Sea on a stormy day last month to do a few pre-wedding shots. They live in Southern California so it was really cold for them and it was rainy so we did most of the shoot inside the hotel. They will be having their wedding reception at the Wentworth in February, talk about cold! They were a great couple who were full of laughter and a genuine love for each other. We are excited to photograph their winter wedding. Here are a few favs:
When my friend Mary asked us to photograph Erica’s Bat Mitzvah in Portland last month we were very excited. It is amazing to watch someone you have known since they were little develop into a young woman. Erica had her service and party at the Bet Haam Temple in South Portland. The temple has recently undergone renovations and a large expansion which turned out beautiful. The design of the temple and social hall is really unique and made for some great photographic opportunities. I love that Erica had both sets of grandparents there as well as lots of Aunts and Uncles(that is one of her Uncle’s doing the mid air split). It was a wonderful celebration and we were happy to be there to capture it all! Here are a few favs:
One of my favorite clients was in this week for a portrait session. Jillian is four and a half and full of personality. We had a lot of fun playing around the studio.
