Martha's Vineyard

We spent 3 days on Martha's Vineyard. Our first trip. We loved it. Thanks so much to our friends for letting us use your house - hope you liked the basket of goodies we left you.

The Wedding Slide Show

Below you will find afull length slide show of Ken & Kristen's wedding at the Aldrich Mansion in Warwick, Rhode Island. Tony Ormonde was the DJ, so it was fun to see him again. Plus, at long last I met Delia, the Sales & Marketing representative at Aldrich. We've talked on the phone for years, but never had a chance to meet.

Many thanks goes out to Sarah Weatherhead, who was my assistant on this day. She got some great shots, and was the photographer for all the bathtub photographs. She really clicked with the bride and bridesmaids. This is one of the reasons I like to have a seond shooter with me at weddings. Sometimes the gals make a stronger connection.

Enjoy the show. It was quite a wedding

Ken & Kristen's Wild Wedding

Emily had her boys!

Emily Cavaco, my assistant, photographer extraordonaire, Helicopter Pilot and now Super Mom, gave birth to two health baby boys last month. Her husband Mike is now back from Iraq to enjoy the little guys, and discover the wonder of fatherhood. Congratulations to both of you.

Best of the Knot 2007

I get back from a mini-vacation yesterday, and found this plaque in my mail box. It says I have been voted a 2007 Best of the Knot. Wow! that's so cool. But, what's really surprising, is that I had no idea this was going on. Typiucally, these things are promotional deals. You know, buy some ad space, then you get on the ballot, and surprise you've been chosen. But, I don't advertise in the Knot. So, I'm guessing, that I have some fans out there in Knot land. Thank you very much.

Stuck in Minneapolis

We are in the Minnesota airport, awaiting a new flight because ours was canceled due to the heavy rains yesterday. We are now booked on the 10 a.m. flight. My wife, son and I made the trip out here for her parent's 50th wedding anniversary.

The Family Reunion

This weekend we had 30 people in town and over to our house each night. It was the 100th anniversary of my grandfather's connection with his boyhood friend, Carl Bellwinkel in Dortmund, Germany. Over the last 100 years, there have been 23 visits of the Germans to the US, and 36 visits by our family to Germany. We have been together having a wonderful time. Lobster dinners, basketball tournaments, (my son Ben and I won - being tall really helps) great conversations, laughter, trips to Newport. We are all looking forward to another gathering in 2009, location under discussion, but possibly in Ithaca, Greece, where Theo is from orginally.

Fan Mail

This winter I was at Linden Place, in Bristol, Rhode Island. Last week, I received this Thank you from Wayne & Rebecca.

Ohio & Vermont on the Beach

The Meredith's were in town in Newport for vacation, and invited me to photograph the family on the beach.

Beach Portraits

The Flynn's were given a Photography Gift Certificate by Steve & Maren last Christmas. This week, we were on the Beach at Watch Hill. See the short slideshow for the results.
