Clear blue skies, grass so green it hurt your eyes and the sailboats in the Sakonnet below. One of my favorite shots of their wonderful day, their last dance. Congratulations guys!<br />

And extremely happy to have booked the lovely Kerrie for her wedding next summer!Newport Imagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16786986796284704292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121622040253050391.post-82520257854788630582012-09-08T19:00:00.001-07:002012-09-19T06:03:48.937-07:00Had a great consultation with Kerrie and her Mom Sharon today. Aside from being a fun and pretty bride-to-be, it turns out there are several intersections with past weddings I have captured and it was great to relive those events and the people we both knew. This is so illustrative of the best part of wedding photography--it creates life-long linkages and friendships and the 6 degrees of separation lessen and lessen and lessen. Especially in Rhode Island!<br />
<br />
At any rate, I hope that Kerrie, Sean and I are able to work together on their July wedding...she will be both beautiful and so much fun.Newport Imagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16786986796284704292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121622040253050391.post-55712457328955185542012-09-05T18:09:00.000-07:002012-09-05T18:12:07.596-07:00Josie and AngelHad the great privilege of shooting a wonderful wedding last weekend with Jerry Coli, of DB Photo. Fantastic, totally Latin through-and-through day full of wonderful families and fun, outgoing friends. From the Getting Ready to the last salsa, it was a total delight. Josie was absolutely beautiful and we escaped a truly menacing thunderstorm in downtown Providence while we took the formals at Waterplace Park, with gondoliers and gondolas in the background. And talk about dancing! The Pearl Lounge was the perfect place for the Latin dancing and everyone got into it, from the Flower Girl to the Mother of the Bride (who was a fantastic salsa dancer). It was almost impossible to sit still...the music mix was that good. And for once, the men all danced! And oh, so well.<br />
<br />
Congratulations Josie and Angel--you are off to a great start in your life together. It was a blast to be part of the day!Newport Imagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16786986796284704292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121622040253050391.post-6747538410624096172012-08-25T21:04:00.002-07:002012-08-25T21:04:09.505-07:00Had the great pleasure of shooting a wonderful wedding at Whispering Pines today for bride Laura and groom Scott. Working with a terrific Rhode Island photographer, Jerry Coli, we covered this gorgeous location where the outdoor wedding occurred overlooking the lake--on a temperate and picture-perfect day. <div>

<div>
Every wedding is special--because each bride and groom and their families are unique--and each wedding day brings particular pleasures and memories. In this wedding, the sheer and obvious pleasure Laura took in each and every aspect of her big day were palpable. I thoroughly enjoyed myself...and so did all the guests. The photos will show it! </div>

This was not done without significant soul-searching, and great support by my wife and partner, but we are thrilled.<br />
<br />
Nothing gives me as much sheer pleasure as capturing people, beauty and emotion and providing it to those who cherish the memories these images bring. Weddings are the perfect place for such imagery and the coming year is filling with wonderful opportunities to do what I love.<br />
<br />
I promise this blog will be up to date! :v) In the meantime, here are some favs from Allie and Bobby's recent, beautiful and waaaaaaaaay fun wedding:<br />

The weather in Newport on this July 4th weekend was clear, blue and spectacular. The bridesmaid's wore Navy blue and the groomsmen were in khaki suits--including the first guy down the aisle, 1 year old Maxson, who made it all the way down the aisle under his own power!<br /><br />You could not put together a nicer group of friends and families and everyone had a wonderful time. Marissa was blonde and gorgeous and Jordan handsome and both so completely right for each other. OceanCliff did their usual great job and DJ Mark had everyone dancing through the afternoon. Then it was off to Goat Island for a 2 hour sunset cruise on the red-sailed Aurora. Newport harbor and the east passage were flawless in the sunshine and the party just kept getting better! What a privilege to be part of it all. Thanks guys!<br /><br />Photos coming as the post-processing gets accomplished...there are lots!<br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br /><p class='blogpress_location'>Location:<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Ochre%20Court,%20OceanCliff%20and%20the%20S/V%20Aurora&z=10'>Ochre Court, OceanCliff and the S/V Aurora</a></p>Newport Imagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16786986796284704292noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121622040253050391.post-13047022089510328102010-06-01T18:30:00.000-07:002010-06-01T18:42:21.269-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwDV9YMfTM4pwprkw4xa_XrK-hBt1FhSnPXjrU63rfHLIDfwZ8VAgaSuevrOTtunZSssEg5mRHQIDvrxt0DGRU5HuJj_RuDQXvX7YIrIYFGZ8alalfM9nItXH6iDuOAFvxPr5R2o8yfa8/s1600/Hashimoto-Fernandes+Email+Size-0273.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwDV9YMfTM4pwprkw4xa_XrK-hBt1FhSnPXjrU63rfHLIDfwZ8VAgaSuevrOTtunZSssEg5mRHQIDvrxt0DGRU5HuJj_RuDQXvX7YIrIYFGZ8alalfM9nItXH6iDuOAFvxPr5R2o8yfa8/s320/Hashimoto-Fernandes+Email+Size-0273.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477983069756349314" /></a>Well, the honeymoon has started, the families are returning home (all over the world!) and EVERYONE had a blast.

This evening, as I flew from Providence to Washington, I was reviewing my portfolio on the iPad. As we started the descent, my lovely seat-mate, Dawn, commented on the photos and asked if I did Senior portraits (Mai oui!). We quickly ran through this weekend's prom photos and she asked for my card. It proved to me yet again that this IS a different device--and a superb way of sharing imagery. Photographs just pop on the screen and you can leaf through them so intuitively it is better than either prints or a notebook computer. So Dawn, I hope to hear from you and enjoyed our chat thoroughly; Chris & Hadley, your prom was a blast!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1810.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1810.jpg' border='0' width='200' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1811.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1811.jpg' border='0' width='187' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1812.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1812.jpg' border='0' width='187' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1814.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1814.jpg' border='0' width='187' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1815.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1815.jpg' border='0' width='225' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1820.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1820.jpg' border='0' width='225' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1822.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1822.jpg' border='0' width='200' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1823.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1823.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='200' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/1826.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/05/17/s_1826.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='225' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br /><p class='blogpress_location'>Location:<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=27th%20St%20S,Arlington,United%20States%4038.848161%2C-77.052573&z=10'>27th St S,Arlington,United States</a></p>Newport Imagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16786986796284704292noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121622040253050391.post-35614381842491985972010-05-11T04:43:00.000-07:002010-05-11T04:43:00.329-07:00DetailsSo much goes into a wedding--and in most cases, every detail has been planned, labored over and executed with excruciating exactitude...and love, sometimes for years.

Whether guests or participants, they wear their hearts on their sleeves (and occasionally the cake, shrimp cocktail, fruit punch, etc.) and tell a marvelous story.

Today I am taking another small step in getting my online act together and posting my first video blog. I am gaining <i><b>immediate and huge</b></i> respect for those people that already do this so well (I'm particularly thinking of iJustine, the quintessential videoblogger...she just rocks). But I think this is a really great way to get myself out there, and share both thoughts and hopefully a little personality. Bear with me--it will get better! (I can hear someone out there saying "it can't get much worse...)<div><br /></div><div>This was filmed (well, digitized) deep within the massive Newport Image Studios, and you'll note my beloved iMac and indispensable Drobo behind me (after blogging fame arrives I will be hitting DataRobotics up to be a sponsor...) In future blogs I'll do a little studio tour (trust me, it will be quick) and talk about printers, cameras and lighting. But most of all, I want to talk about wedding and portrait photography and everything that goes in to it. So off we go, with the B-52's singing Love Shack in the background---fingers crossed that this uploads.</div><div><br /></div><div>Please send feedback--I can take the criticism! And I want to hear from you! </div><div><br /></div><div>Best wishes and crunchy nachos, Don</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx75YbX6Fos-HTODXWCwkQbdVRfv9CwUGwlD7uuRxb6zEKlPFM7ZS9wsW-L3L0CeGKM9K0S7XJvannL9n-vVA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Newport Imagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16786986796284704292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121622040253050391.post-7385248481930269512010-05-05T20:08:00.000-07:002010-05-05T20:09:55.070-07:00The Great Video Scheduling AdventureWell, working on getting Blogger to get the first video blog post up.
