Brewster Garden Wedding

OK, so it wasn't a real wedding I admit.  It was a fake wedding put on to help photographers who are trying to build up their portfolios and break into the wedding business.  Everyone has to start somewhere right?  Seriously, it takes a lot of guts to hire a photographer for your wedding if they don't have any wedding shots.  I don't care how good their portrait portfolios look!  Just my opinion. 

This past Saturday, I signed up with 6 other photographers to pose and shoot a model bride and groom at Brewster gardens in Plymouth Ma.  Since it was such a small group, we each got a chance to work with the models posing them and moving them to different locations around the park.  I might want to add that there was 2 "brides" and 1 "groom".   The "brides" had to share the "groom" which I thought a little comical. 

It was an absolutely beautiful day.  The park was gorgeous and the lighting was great!  When I got back to view the images, I was amazed at how comfortable the couples looked together.  Almost like they had known each other for years and just a few minutes.

Enjoy!

Eda, she just could not wait! / New Hampshire Newborn Photographer


Eda was due May 8th but just couldn't wait to come into the world.  She was born April 27th at 10:23am.  "Home-grown and organic" as her mother put it.: )  I arrived at Wentworth Douglas hospital in Dover at noon the very next day to photograph the beautiful new baby girl and her proud family.  It was wonderful meeting and photography baby Eda and her new mommy and daddy Damla and Tevfik.  Damla's mother Ayse was there, as well as both Tevfik's parents, Zeynep (mom) and Ali Riza (dad).  It is Ayse's 2nd grandchild, but Zeynep and Ali Riza are 1st timers.  I snapped shots as all the grandparent lovingly passed Eda around.  They were all speaking Turkish, but I could hear the love and excitement in their voices.  I also got to hold baby Eda.  Oh how I love the snugly soft smell of a newborn.  I swear its like a drug to me!  She is sooo sweet! <3<3  As I was getting ready to leave, I was showered in gifts from the family.  They were all so beautiful.  As soon as I got  home, I opened each one and photographed them.  What a wonderful family Eda was born into.  She is a very very lucky girl and I hope to keep in touch.
