Connie & Eric

It was a cold day on the beach, but Connie & Eric braved the elements.

Lovers Updated

I've just updated the Lovers section of my wedding photography website. I added some images from this year, and took out some old ones. Check it out click here

First Real Snowstorm of the Year

I've spent the morning shoveling out our driveway - ok, so I'm not done yet. I'm waiting for my feet to warm up, as well as re-enforcements, aka, my son to wake up.

Gift Certificates

As a special offer to those who read my blog. I'm offering Portrait Photo Session Gift certificates. They are normally $275, but only $175 between now and Dec 24. The certificates have a nice collage, and open to indicate who gave the gift. Maybe you know a family or couple who would like portraits taken on the beach, in their home. They can use the certificate anytime, and in addition to the session, they get 2 free 5x7 prints.

Let me know if you need a last minute gift. james@jameshazelwood.com

Southern New England Wedding Party

Lisa and I just got back from the annual Southern New England Wedding party at the Biltmore Hotel, in downtown Providence. It was fun to see all kinds of people, Nancy, Nell & Marie from Castle Hill, Devine Catering, Sayles Livingston florist, and of course, a bunch of photographers.

The new issue of the magazine features Sarah & Zack's wedding from last Fall. Which is also on the new chattybride.com blog. Click here to see their feature.

It's bridal magazine release season, and we've got some work coming out in others. I'll blog about them as we go.

Portraits of Kids

In 2000, Shanna and Ray called me to photograph their wedding, then this year, they called me for portraits of their three girls. Last year, I got a phone call on Dec 23rd from a guy in Colorado, who found me on the internet. he wanted a gift certificate for his daughter. I was in Middletown doing those portraits. My guess is Grandpa in Colorado is going to get pictures of his grandson and granddaughter.

Image Found

From a wedding this year. I missed this one, until Alexis selected it for her album. So I turned it to Black and White.

Love it. From a Greek orthodox ceremony, which are probably the most interesting of all the various Christian Wedding ceremonies, both to attend and to photograph.
