EB & Ian
/
So part of my wedding package is the engagement shoot. This is time when we get to bond, know each other and have fun. I want to be more of a friend than of a photographer for your wedding day. I want you to be completely relaxed and unguarded and enjoy your wedding day. This is a few pictures of Ian & EB's engagement shoot a few weeks ago.

So if you're thinking about buying a lens or want to check out some cool equipment then head down to LB Wheaton. I stopped in and had no idea that I would be walking out with a super telephoto lens. Being able to hold it in my hands and experience it was enough to put me over the edge. Great experience at LB Wheaton.

So for this engagement shoot I thought we would shoot somewhere completely different, Green Hill Park in Worcester. I've only recently visited this park, seeing it from afar for my entire life. I was surprised to find it clean, spacious and welcoming. There is a small petting zoo, a Vietnam memorial, ponds, woods and picnic tables. We spent some time walking around and getting used to the process of having ones photo taken. Here's the photos. #engagement #wedding #greenhillpark #worcester #unitymike

Mike, camera, car, Europe, 2 weeks. What could go wrong.
Traveling alone everywhere I can via car in Europe. Exploring and taking photos. I'll be documenting as much as I can via Iphone, Canon 5d and regular uploads to my blog. 12 countries in under 2 weeks sounds pretty damn awesome to me for a vacation.

Sure, i've hiked Mt. Wachusett hundreds of times but it still doesn't get old. Trails are maintained and updated as well as the new road to the top which was laid this past year. The summit touts a new updated tower and base station as well as more spring cleaning i'm sure to come. Here's some of my photos from my past trip with Tommy G. Haran

Every once and awhile I'll create flyers for things, the studio I help out and sometimes myself. Here's some of my past work. Some of it i'm proud of and other stuff I cringe at.

Hitting up the streets of downtown Providence to explore new areas. A cold day in April lead us to good food and drink. Here are some of the photos I took.
Read MoreFire in Worcester, 43 Bowdoin St & 40 Williams
/
April 24th, 2014. Fire at Bowdoin Street and building behind house on Williams Street. I happened to be in my car with some equipment and headed over to get some photos. When I arrived and made my way around the area to various angles I could see that the Worcester Fire Department had the fire well under control. Police blocked off the streets and neighbors watched. A few residents from the building were in the area and we're easy to spot. I wish them the best and hope family and friends can help them out like I was helped with my apartment fire a few years ago.

/
The Maid of Honor has a very important role, to pour out all the nice things they could ever say in a 3-4 minute speech as well as tease the bride a bit. This is a companion blog to my Best Man Speech blog that i've posted previously. I hope you read and enjoy this. These are just a few pointers from the dozen or so weddings that I attend a year.

Read MoreThe Butterfly Place
/
What an awesome time for a photographer. Have you ever chased a butterfly or a very pretty moth (they exist). Today I didn't have to, they sat there and posed for me. Trying to shoot every single butterfly variant became a bit tedious but worth my time. I couldn't find a perfect lens to use for this adventure because I kept wanting to showcase different angles of this amazing location. I'll be back.

/
Government center is closed now (March 22nd, 2014), this is a final trip for me before the reopening in 2 years. Visited this MBTA location a day before it's closing with Michael Stepien, Stacy Bouley, Tom Haran. We had a run in with a MBTA employee who was not versed in the MBTA photography policy, I helped him out a bit using their own website.
You'll be able to see all the construction rearing to take place, little by little over the past few weeks and months they've been getting ready. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Read MoreMy favorite place to work.
/
It's hard working from home sometimes, instead I choose Starbucks. While i'm there I pay for the coffee, wifi usage and I have a time limit to work before I'm that creepy guy on his Facebook in the corner. I always tell my friends, peers, clients about my chosen work place.
Read MoreWord of mouth marketing
/
How do you advertise? I stick to word of mouth and Facebook. Do I make $200k a year, no. But am I shooting weddings and loving what I do. I'll always have people brag to me about how much money they spent on their marketing campaigns, online and print. I don't worry about that right now, for now word of mouth is amazing.

Out of all the toys my cat has, there is one that stands above all the rest. The $1 Ikea plush mice. This non-cat toy is in the kids section of Ikea and it's the only toy that my roommates dog doesn't tear up. The Boston Terrier that we co-habitat with treats these small plush mice like a baby, carrying it to her bed and cuddling.
Read MoreB.T's smokehouse
/
One of my favorite spots for brisket and pulled pork. It's worth the 25 minute trip from Worcester down the Mass Pike for this treat. I usually visit when I can bring a new comer so that I have an excuse to pig out (no pun intended). Make sure to get an order of fries and onion rings if you go, the carrot slaw is out of this world. B.T's will put your BBQ place to shame :).
Read MoreProject and the lack of.
/
I'm looking for new projects to do, maybe a 365 project or maybe just a 30 day project. It's hard to pick something and stick with it while theres so much out there to do. This is my kick in the butt to do something, I want to show you something interesting.
