Christine has this wonderful aura about her. She reminds me of the hay-day of motion pictures when actors and actresses had a curtain, oh, “Je ne sais quoi” about them. She posses the grace and style of Audrey Hepburn, who happens to be my favorite actress. All throughout her wedding I couldn’t help but to think I was caught in a scene my “Fair Lady”. Christine and Matt got married at West Roxbury, Mass amongst family and friends and once again the day was sunny and warm. Christine got ready at her mom’s home with all her girls including two pints sized ones; her nieces. This particular day, the light was angelic and gave softness to every room of the house. It was this softness that helped me capture her special day. After all the preparations, the brides and her group hurried to get married at “Holy Name Church” a local church nearby. The church was spectacular and further added to the spirit of the day. Soon afterwards, Father Peter Grover announced the news that they were wed and off to the ” Spring Valley Country Club” we all went. The highlight of the day was the beautiful “Sweet” light we found as the evening was closing. It was with this light I captured Christine and Matt. The flowers came from “Annabelle Floral Design”. Her most glorious make-up came from “Grace M Quintal”  Enjoy.

…….So on June 4, 2010 Alejandro Theodore Ortiz was born. I guess I will have a new company mascot running around my studio. Despite the fact he was upside down, right side up-Breech baby, Alex came in to the world bright eyed and bushy tailed. He weighed in at 7 Lbs. 4 Ozs. and measured 20.5 inches.

These are some of the little faces of Valerie’s and John’s wedding. They were cute as a button and were not shy in front of the camera. The vintage bow tie reminded me of an long gone era. It reminded me of the era of my favorite historical character Theodore Roosevelt, the 43rd president of our country. Although he was the youngest president he was not without experience. He took measure to protect our country’s most beautiful places by making them our national parks. This young ring bearer had the same heart and soul as Teddy. At the wedding he did not hesitate to show his bullish side by being the little man of the show. Here’s to you Mr. President….BULLY.

“There is an innocence within me that already knows how to trust my Higher Power, to cherish life while holding it lightly, to live fully and simply in the present moment. I will allow that part of myself to come forward and nourish me as I continue on this journey.”
(from Courage to Change: One Day at a Time in Al-Anon II, page 82)

One of the many wonderful “little people” I meet at many of the weddings I cover.
