The Barn at Gibbet Hill - Groton, Massachusetts

I recently shot a wedding with the supah wickedly cool Saucey Stacey Doyle for supah stylin studio of The Tirados. The ceremony was at The Barn at Gibbet Hill in Groton MA. I had a few firsts for this wedding. First was the bride and groom went directly to a pub they frequented in Lowell. Sweeeet! Second, as Stacey and I were scoping out the area for pictures and the possibilities of jumping this little fence and get some big scenery shoots with the bride and groom but, I happened to notice a letter electric meter. Yeah so, that means it’s electrified. No jumpin fences today. Oh well but, the story doesn’t end there. Once we completed shooting the group pictures several of the children decided to have a race to the fence. Yeah, I made sure I spoke up and said, “Hey, that’s electrified!” Well, the needless to say, one of the children was shocked but, that’s not all! We had a bridesmaid that had never heard of a electric fence. See pictures below! The father of the bride decided to show her the wonderous properties of electricity. Needless to say, she was shocked with the results..da du dunnn. The reception was totally off the hook. People were dancin, people were on other peoples shoulders, music was awesome and let’s just say spirits were high. It was a blast shootin with Stacey and our happy couple Laura & Brendan! Woot! Woot!

The Higgins House - Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Recently I shot the wedding of Stephanie and Matt’s at the Higgins House at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The Higgins house is an old Tudor style old school mansion. We had the ceremony on the grounds, the reception was tented and the dancing was indoors. The day was mostly sunny but, the weather changed and we had a bit of rain during the speeches. One of my favorite parts of the night was the dancing and some cool shoots that the couple captured at the end of the night. Also, the bride had a friend of the family with a sweet old convertible drive them to the ceremony. Well, just the FOB, bride, and MOH. Pretty Sweet!

Blackberry River Inn - Norfolk, Connecticut

I recently had the pleasure of capturing Kate and Chris’s wedding at the Blackberry River Inn in Norfolk Connecticut. The day was beautiful and the ride out in the Smart Fortwo was bitchin! The top was down and the sun was shining! I started out capturing the pre-ceremony details such as the dress, shoes, putting make up on and getting ready. We progressed to the ceremony which was held at the Inn. The reception was held in big’ol tent right next to the Inn. Kate and Chris had my heart in mind when they selected this location. It was full of great scenery, great 80’s music, and people full of flavor. It was obvious that the moto of the day was unbridled fun, excitement and good times!

Very AltF has hit the road www.veryaltf.com - Due in Boston Soon!

Those crazy cats at Alt F, Dalisa and John have hit the road in their ginormous RV. They are driving from Las Vegas to all points west… mostly. They have blogged every day of the trip on www.earth13.com but, I thought I’d buy domains that are more reflective of their true personalities www.jmcthervking.com and www.ladydollthervqueen.com

Their first stop is in Dallas at the studio of JVS and Anne. I so, so wished that I took up the offer to fly down and attend but, that dang time thing gets in the way a lot often. I saw a supah cool image that JVS took on the roof of the RV that the Cooper’s are driving. Great work Joseph! Get your butt in gear and host another seminar. I really want to attend again.

My quote of the day for the Coopers is “And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.” by Dr. Seuss.

Photographers! Don’t forget to sign up for the Very Alt F tour! They’ll be in town on August 7th. You can sign up here!
