Katelyn and Thomas - Boston Harbor Hotel wedding

Katelyn and Thomas' wedding at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Absolutely adorable couple, wonderful company of family of friends and a beautiful mid-summer day. A recipe for great photographs! :-)

How strange to photograph two weddings within 3 weeks from each other at the Boston Harbor Hotel! Looking back at the images, it's another proof that every couple is different and every wedding is always, always different. In fact, with different lighting conditions that day, the fact that I was just recently there didn't really help. It's a big wedding photography myth that it's better to have a photographer that knows the location. What's better is to have a photographer that understands the light and is capable to adopt to changes in light conditions immediately.

Massachusetts: Equality for All

Unprecedented, progressive, or just "keeping-up-with-times" kind of new law - same-sex couples who live outside Massachusetts can now marry in our state. Click on a link for a full article - Massachusetts lets out-of-state gay couples marry from Associated Press.

Yes, no matter where you live, come to Boston and get married! Oh, and don't forget to book a good photographer while at it, he, he. It's no secret, most wedding vendors are very much looking forward to increased business (Repeal of out-of-state same-sex marriage ban seen as a win for business). There are a few exceptions, of course, like wedding gown shops or traditional-style wedding venues. But, as far as we know it, it's a great time to be a wedding photographer in Massachusetts! Cheers to all the married couples to be - same-sex or opposite sex!

Oh, and often overlooked, also signed into law a first-in-the nation measure allowing all married couples to receive Medicaid benefits, even though federal law does not recognize same-sex marriages (Read about it here - Massachusetts: Same-Sex Couples From Other States May Now Marry ). Now dig that, yo, Texas! :-)
