Leah and Peter met us at South Shore Park, Boston Store bag stocked full of outfits, ready to go. I could tell I would like these guys right away… they were super chill and ready to go. These guys met playing E-bags… as in the video game version of the popular lawn game, bags… at an all girl punk band concert… at Y-Not 3. That is AWESOME! We chatted for a few minutes about life, Boston Store, and shopping. Leah and I agreed that while sweater weather is awesome… we were not quite ready for it yet. Then Peter laid down this gem: “Baby, when we get married, your Boston Store bag will always be full…” haha! Smooth and amazing! Simon and I were quick to comment: “And your bank account always empty…” After a quick chat we hurried on our way, because this time of year the light does not like to stick around for long… which I dislike… but the light we did get to play with was awesome.
Here are my favs from our shoot:

It is important to unplug. I have a very hard time doing this. One of my favorite unplugs of the year is our trip up to my in-laws cabin, up in Marinette, WI. It is easy to unplug up there… no tv, the phone doesn’t really work, so it gets turned off, no computers… just peace, light, plants, animals, a quirky little town, family, a camera and some film.
For the geeks. Voigtlander Bessa R3M with the CV Nokton 50mm 1.1 – Film is some really old Konica Minolta 400 VX

I had the chance to meet with a future wedding client a couple weeks ago at their future wedding venue… which just happens to be a boat. Really excited for this wedding, as I have never photographed a wedding on a boat before. New things are always exciting. The fog was amazing, the air was calm, the feeling in the air was refreshing and pure… and of course I couldn’t not make some photographs…

I picked up an old 1937 Retina II a while back, and just got around to testing it out. I love old cameras, the inner workings, the lenses. This camera is completely manual, meaning it has no batteries, no computers, nothing buy glass, metal and film.
I went down to the beach to test it out:
That last shot is me with the camera. You gotta do the obligatory self portrait in a mirror with the new camera 
Whats the oldest camera you have ever used?

Jeff and Crystal were married on Halloween at the Kenosha Theatre. It was dark, spooky, and fit the two of them like a glove. Which is why it was a lot of fun. I couldn’t wait to post this photo, so here it is, one of my favorites from the Halloween wedding…
More posts coming soon. The last weeks have been crazy. I hope to catch up with some blogging real soon, I have a lot of weddings to blog about.
