It's been a busy early summer for me, doing wedding photography every weekend since Memorial Day. In spite of June's wet weather, I've enjoyed being there to document the happiness of the day. Below are some of my favorites:
In the photographs from top, the bride gets a kiss from her grandmother at the reception in Hanover, N.H.; the groom goes body surfing with a little help from his friends at a Boylston, Mass., reception; the couple shares a moment together before the ceremony in Woodstock, Vt.; the bride shows off a little piece of Montana she brought from home to her wedding in Franconia, N.H.; the couple laughs at the band's funny song while cutting the cake in Boylston, Mass.; the couple poses for a portrait in the ferns after their ceremony in Perkinsville, Vt.; energetic dancing takes place after dinner at a Quechee, Vt., reception; the couple poses for a portrait before their Quechee reception; along with everyone gathered at their Cambridge, Vt., reception, the couple sings a good-night song to their daughter; pedal tractors were popular with the younger set at the Cambridge reception; the flower girl walks to the ceremony in Lyndonville, Vt.
Since last October, I have been making portraits of subjects profiled in the series Upper Valley at Work. The project teaches young people there are various ways to make a living and shows them the routes to get there. Click here to learn more about the project run by Center for School Success and the Upper Valley Business and Education Partnership.
From top to bottom are profile subjects Jason Johns, a newspaper photographer at the Valley News, shown in downtown White River Junction, Vt.; Inn at Idlewood owners Alexandre Michel Bird and Marcy Marceau, photographed at their Sharon, Vt., restaurant with their children JAMR, 9, and TOJ, 6; Director Mary Ellen Otis with a few of her charges at the Orange County Parent Child Center in Chelsea, Vt.; Tip Top Pottery owner Amy Robb at her White River Junction, Vt., business; Hypertherm's Ron Aubin, who teaches classes at the company's lab space in Lebanon, N.H.; and Sean Ross, who is the Forestry Operations Manager for The Lyme Timber Company, photographed at Boston Lot Lake in West Lebanon, N.H.
Jennifer Megyesi brought chickens from her farm to our book signing at Cover to Cover Books on March 14 — they were a huge hit! Henry the Barred Rock rooster strutted around the store, greeting visitors. And a bantam hen was permissive in letting people pet her chicks. The bookstore says The Joy of Keeping Chickens has been very popular with their customers!
I've created a Facebook page for The Joy of Keeping Chickens book, following on the heels of the Web site I created for the book last week. Become a fan, post photos and stories of your own chickens to the page. Click here to "chick" it out!
The thermometer dipped below zero last night, which made for some interesting pictures this morning. Out in the yard, the chickens were hopping around on one foot, more happy to be in the warmth of their coop.
On Saturday, Dec. 6, we had a successful fund-raiser for the Morrill Memorial & Harris Library in Strafford. A three-hour reception was held that also included a bake and wreath sale to benefit the library. The majority of the 35 photographs from A Day in the Life of Strafford were bid upon and dozens of copies of the DVD slide show were sold to raise over $1,000 for the library.
Copies of the $15 DVD are for still for sale at the library and Coburn's General Store in South Strafford. Or click here to place an order online.
The event went well due to all of the volunteer and financial help we had. Click here to read more about the project.
