Just a few quick photos from 2009. A few days after Christmas I assisted Lisa on a night-time engagement shoot at La Salette’s Festival of Lights, Attleboro, MA. What a scene! What a couple! The groom-to-be proposed with a “will you marry me” tatoo on his inner arm. He stripped in the sub-freezing temps so we could photograph it. It is really beautiful. I love the typography, the curlicues and all the flourishes. I wonder if they will use the same on their invites? Anyway, in between holding off-camera lighting and coats, scouting out spots and directing pedestrian traffic, I sneaked in a few shots. These are more “in betweeners” – moments when they’re waiting for equipment to be set up, moments just after the main shutter’s been clicked.
See more of Lisa’s pics – and my mad lighting skillzzz – on Rock ‘n Roll Bride too!
So speaking of curlicues, I tinkered with a temporary wedding logo. A calligrapher is devising a new one, and if she follows my wishes it will be chock-freaking-full of gratuitous curlicues. You won’t be able to read the text, the cat will look like he’s sitting in a briar bush, it’ll be nothing but scrolls. Yeah! Hopefully she won’t listen to me. It’s been hard to hold back with the flourishes. I think it’s related to my ruffle kick of late. And my goal to wear more red lipstick and more heels in the new year.
the link to paperfinger is broken. I love her work! Excellent choice in hiring Bryn.
Hmm…I wondered at the extra curliness to the “S” in Snow in Logan’s latest post. What size shoes do you wear? I have a few pairs of heels that don’t work for me.
What a fabulous spot for engagement photos! The snow, the lights, and the meaning behind it all. Love the images! Not forced, just natural.
