Princeton and Newport

This weekend was great.  I started at the Harrington Farm in Princeton MA.  I haven't been there in about 5 years and I've been dyeing to get back there.  Thankfully, I'll be back again in just a matter of weeks.  It's an absolutely beautiful location set on a hill by Wachussett Mountain.  A quaint Inn type feel with a very new and modern reception room.  

Jessica and Steven were great.  We did their engagement session just a few weeks ago in Newburyport.  Actually, scroll down a bit and you can see some of those as well.  

And then, oh how cool is this!  Finally I have a wedding at Castle Hill in Newport RI.  I've done quite a few engagement sessions there, but never a wedding.  The grounds are just perfect. Celia and Kevin really got lucky with the weather too.  It was supposed to rain, but it held off the whole night.  It was an outdoor ceremony on this amazing overlook of the bay.  Celia had everything planned so well!  We got the formals done in record time and had at least 30 minutes just to take pictures of the two of them.  That's unheard of.  Between the beauty of the location, the overcast sky and a couple of secondary lighting tricks we got some stunning pictures.

Oh, and then just a funny side thing.  So while at Castlehill I thought I'd try to take a nice "Night Shot" of the tent lit up.  It was pitch dark and even with a really really delayed exposure on a tripod it just wasn't coming out.  It was just a big bright strip of light in the middle of darkness.  Then all of a sudden this guy came along to breakdown the ceremony chairs and happened to be driving by on a golf cart.  He didn't even know it, but he lit up the scene perfect.  I was so excited.  For that coockie reason I LOVE this shot.  It just looks so dramatic like you can pick out every blade of grass and every branch of the tree.
