Stylish & Romantic Engagement Shoot

January 10th, 2012 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits, Weddings

I recently updated the portrait and interior galleries on my website and it reminded me that I had never posted this engagement shoot from the Fall. Jojo and Tom are getting married this August at the charming Alerin Barn in Vermont where they will deck it out in romantic/vintage/rustic goodness. As a preview, they wanted their engagement photos to have a similar feel so I location scouted throughout Bedford and we discussed props and this is what we came up with. Of course, It doesn’t hurt that Miss Jojo has great style and is completely gorgeous. (Tom you’re cute too!)

Congratulations Jojo and Tom. I’m looking forward to your wedding this Summer.

I shoot a lot of weddings throughout New England and get to see so many beautiful cakes, and more recently, a lot of cupcakes and whoopie pies, on my travels. Here’s a round up of a few of my favorite cakes and cupcakes for your sweet tooth. (I know it’s early in the New Year but we can at least look.)

Stylish Wedding in New London, NH

December 28th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Weddings

Of all the weddings I have photographed throughout New England, the grounds of the New London Historical Society are the most beautiful. They have a series of small historical store fronts, several gorgeous old barns and the most beautiful lawn and aging crab apple trees ever.

Sharing a few of my favorite moments from this fine wedding celebration. Congratulations Grace and Ryan! It was an immense joy to be a part of your amazing day.

Warm Holiday Sparkle

December 20th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Events, Inspiration, Interior Design, Weddings

There is a new (and fabulous!) wedding venue that recently opened called the River Mill at Dover Landing. It’s located in one of the mill buildings in downtown Dover, NH, which from what I can tell, seems to be a creative enclave sprinkled with engaged University students. This mill venue is super appealing because, heck yes, I fantasize about living in a loft, however unpractical they may be. The creators of River Mill did a fantastic job restoring the mill and keeping it simple so that patrons can deck it out to their liking. With exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, hanging industrial pendant lighting and wood flooring, it’s the only large capacity venue of it’s kind in the state.

Special thanks to Kate Parker Weddings for the understated and festive holiday decor.

Wed High Atop a Mountain

October 19th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Weddings

One of the best parts about being a wedding photographer is that each location is different. I’ve found myself on boats, on horse drawn carriages, in limos, and stopping traffic walking through downtown Boston. This wedding however, may take the wedding cake, so to speak. It was at the top of Mount Sunapee in northern New Hampshire, so yes indeed, we all got chair lifted up.

As you will see, another unique part of this celebration was that the bride and groom wore sashes for their formal photos before the ceremony. As the tradition goes, they didn’t want to see each other. They got them on Etsy in case your interested.

Congratulations Katie and Keith!

A New England Wedding in October

October 5th, 2011 by Tanya | 1 Comment | Filed in Weddings

Fall in New England is the best, minus the fact that it means Winter will be here soon. It’s the busiest season of the year for wedding photography (hint hint, book early!) The colors are lovely and the temperature is cool and dry. Heather and Adam were married on a dock overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee and had their reception at an old train station decked out with twinkling white lights and paper lanterns. Their colors were perfection for this time of year- brown, deep purple and orange.

Congratulations Heather and Adam!

The Right {Head} Shot

September 26th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits

Naomi visited the studio recently for an updated corporate head shot. She came prepared with an older head shot in hand saying she wasn’t crazy about the angle as in, “I like this side of my face better.” (I think we all have a preference.) A slight change in camera position, neck, chin and shoulders can accentuate certain planes of your face and bring out your best features.

With that, we tilted her head and chin and positioned her hair in various ways to best frame her face. In the end, we achieved a polished but friendly professional photo.

Congratulations, Naomi, for being selected as one of the top Realtors in New Hampshire!

Photo Editing- A Sneak Peek

September 20th, 2011 by Tanya | Comments Off | Filed in Portraits, Weddings

This wedding in New London, NH was exceptionally lovely with a gorgeous bride and groom and incredible style everywhere. I am still editing the images and will share them later, but here’s a sneak peek at my editing process. I tend to favor warmer tones over cooler ones, and I try to get them as bright and light as possible.

For today, I am thinking I like the color on the image directly below, but I always like to wait a few days to have another look. Fresh eyes, as they say.

Which do you like the best? Difficult to decide isn’t it?
