day with anthony

I've been trying to find a little time to work on some personal projects and ideas that have been in my head for a while. I'm  a big fan of photojournalism and documenting moments in a person's life. Capturing moments of people without them knowing I'm there.  There is something so pure and innocence about a natural reaction or emotion.  The look on a groom's face as his bride enters the church, or the emotion of a bride's father as he sees his little girl in her wedding gown for the first time. The look of a mom as she cuddles her newborn. Moments that don't need posing, direction or instruction.

Well, for me, the most real subjecrs to photograph are kids. In this case my kid. My little boy Ant. I could have the camera 6 inches from his face and he acts like I'm not there. Did you ever try and pose a 2 year old? Don't! It's definitely a test of your patience to photograph an almost-2 year old throughout an entire day, but I couldn't ask for a cuter subject.

So here is my first attempt at a little photo story. Click the link below to check it out.

A Day in the Life of Anthony

Christina & Lee | Ocean House | Rhode Island | Wedding Photography

Well here is part 2...the wedding day, and what a day it was. Beautiful setting, perfect weather and most importantly amazing people. I've been so lucky since i started in this business to have some pretty awesome clients and Lee & Christina were a photographers dream. I knew the minute i met with the couple that this was going to be an incredible wedding weekend. Every wedding i shoot starts off with a little bit of butterflies in my stomach. Not for a lack of confidence or nervousness, but kind of an excitement and anticipation. For this wedding the anxiety was gone the minute I arrived. Lee and Christina were such gracious hosts and their families were just as gracious and outgoing! For this weekend i felt like part of their family and was welcomed with such politeness and kindness. I want to send a special thank you to Lee, Chirstina and their entire family for being such amazing people! I hope the images show (and i think they do) what true happiness and love is. Enjoy!!!
