Ryan and Caitlin were married at the Rockport Art Association in Rockport, MA. The gallery offered a unique space to showcase their love in front of family and friends, and Rockport was an amazing backdrop for their bridal photos.

The first blooms of spring were falling, but nestled amidst a copse of cherry trees on Castle Island, Calvin and Rachel sat for their portrait session.

Sarah and Tom were married at the Brewster Ladies' Library in Brewster MA, bringing together family and friends by the sea. Where once women waited their husbands' return from the sea, a couple came together in matrimony.

Hidden among the trees in the bustle of Somerville, sits an old powder house. With the Fall leaves just changing, I met with Liza and Seneca for their engagement session before their June 2012 wedding.

Ryan and Caitlin met at work in Charlestown. Under the gas lamps and amidst the charming streets, the couple dated and fell in love. They will be married in Rockport in May of 2012.

In the company of their closest friends and family (and their dogs), John and Nicole exchanged their vows on the beautiful little island of Nantucket on May 7, 2011. Although legally married the night before, no ceremony is truly complete until that joy and love is shared with the people closest to you.

A cool breeze swept over the Chatham beach as Jason and Kim exchanged their vows to one another and their families. Amidst the white sand and the rolling dunes, their two little families became one in a short, informal ceremony.

Dan and Jolie were married at the Brookmeadow Country Club in Canton, MA. A great couple, they put a lot into making their wedding something special, not just for themselves but for their friends and family. The wedding brought in elements from both couple's traditions, blending them in a unique celebration of their love.

On a beautiful summer day in July, Larry and Teresa were married at the Wheaton College chapel in Norton, Massachusetts. Their celebration was joined by family and friends, a reception followed at Benjamin's in Taunton, Massachusetts.

Ernie and Lisa were a fantastic couple, and their wedding was a lot of fun to shoot. I hope next year is full of weddings just like it (though I suspect there was a certain magic here that will be hard to recreate).The couple were married in an outdoor ceremony at the Canoe Club in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, with a reception that followed in the club's ballroom.

Sarah and Ron were married on June 26, at the home of the bride's grandmother in Middleboro, Massachusetts. The couple were joined in celebration by friends and family from all over. Though the weather was hot, the dance floor was busy and the day was beautiful.

As the day began the world was covered in a mixture of snow and mist, but inside the air was warm and bright with the sound of a wedding in Northampton, MA.

What's that bumping in the night? All the ghouls, ghasts and gangsters were out haunting on Halloween night, a little too old for trick or treating but too young to spend the night in. For all your moments and memories.

Although New England weather conspired against a beautiful outdoor ceremony, it was still a beautiful day inside as friends and family gathered to celebrate their love. The ducks quacked happily outside as people shared laughter, pie and a lot of good cheer in spite of the dreary weather.

It's been a busy year for Katie and Ed Garrahy. Ed had promised his father a lakeside wedding but found love on the wrong coast and married in February, the compromise was to hold a reception for friends and family at the lake house in Connecticut. It was a chance for some to meet the bride and her immediate family, for friends to reunite and for everyone to coo over the latest addition.

It had been a good fifteen years since the Boyce's had last gotten together at their Hull home for a family photo and a lot had changed since then. The kids had gone away to college and then after graduating came back, only to go away again and for their mother's birthday they decided to give a little bit of themselves.

David and Sarah married on Saturday, September 5 in an intimate and beautiful ceremony at the Daniel Webster Inn in Sandwich (intimate save for a group of Japanese tourists that stopped to watch). Although the wedding was marked by some personal tragedy, the joy of two people joining their lives together was palpable.

Paul and Cassandra had already done the sensible thing and eloped a few weeks earlier, but there was clamor from their friends and family for an actual wedding. So they booked a hall near home, decorated it beautifully and brought those family and friends together to celebrate their union, dodge a bit of rain and have a great time in Connecticut.

I met up with Larry and Teresa at their Attleboro home and thought (not seeing any shotguns around) that it must be love or some ill-founded fear of deportation. We also shot n a nearby park, occassionally stopping lest Larry be embarassed by running into a former student.

Stephanie and Jon at Water Place Park in Providence, Rhode Island.

Their story is a common one, she was a stunning woman and he was loud and obnoxious. They met in a bar in Bristol almost a year-and-a-half ago and as Josh descibed it he's been the house guest that never left. They were a great couple with some fun ideas and were very willing to walk around Water Place Park in Providence in spite of all the heat. I do wish them the best of luck.

The National Marine Life Center is raising money for a state-of-the-art marine hospital right on the Cape Cod Canal in Buzzards Bay. Every year they throw the Mermaid Ball, both to celebrate their work and raise money to keep the mission alive. The ball is hosted at Mass Maritime and hosts pirates, mermaids, a wonderful dinner, live music as well as auctions and raffles.

I met up with the couple around the Durfee Conservatory at their alma mater, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in August of 2009.

Bobby and Gretchen were married in a beautiful home ceremony in front of God, family and friends on August 8, 2009. The couple honeymooned in Niagra Falls.

Matt Williams and Reilly Dunn were married on July 11 in front of friends and family at St. Mary's church in Blacksburg, Virginia. The couple met in high school and began dating their senior year, and though they may have been often apart over the past seven years they were always spiritually and emotionally together. A reception followed at the Farmhouse in Christiansburg. The couple honeymooned in San Francisco.
