Rev.Dr.Peter Ives Day

These photographs are from the Farewell Sunday & Gala Celebration for Pastor Peter Ives and his wife Jenny Fleming-Ives. Peter is retiring this year after 21 years at First Churches of Northampton (combined Baptist ABC and Congregationalist UCC). The town celebrated by declaring June 13th Rev.Dr. Peter Ives day!

Peter is my minister and a wonderful person and friend to me, and my family. He will be greatly missed. I was the Youth Group leader at First Churches when his daughters were young and in it.... 21 years ago! WoW! Now they are grown with kids and careers of their own! Awesome!

BIG DEAL...BETTER DEALS!!

I'VE JUST REDUCED MY PRICES!!
Yes, call me crazy, but I want couples to have some memorable and nice photos,
without having to put out a second mortgage on the house...
... at least not with MY Photography Services.

Let me give you a rundown of what you'll get in my Basic Package for ONLY $1,150...
My personal pre- and post consultations.
These may take only a few minutes, or a few days, over the course of your prep time before your Big Day. I'd love to meet with my couples in person, where I get to introduce myself, show my wedding portfolio, and talk, in detail, what you have planned for that day.
With my Basic Package you get me shooting for 4 up to 8 hours... I want to shoot the whole day, your story, from preparation, to the last dance. I'm a photographic storyteller... it's what I love to do!
Afterwards, I download tons of digital images, edit them, tweak them, but NEVER alter them. I'm a documentary photographer, I don't like messing with the integrity of the moment.
But I also have a bachelor's degree in fine arts, so I will make some beautiful art photography pieces for you, with black & white, and color accented photographs.
You'll also receive 2 - 8"x10" enlargements of your choice, with many options, and other packages to choose from! I am your one-stop photography store, as well.
I usually meet with the married couple after the Day, to deliver the CD of high resolution photos, talk about the photos, making albums, etc.

I'm not just their photographer for the day, but hope to be their family photographer, their friend's wedding photographer, their kids' portrait photographer... there is a relationship that is made when a photographer shoots such an important day.
I feel honored if you would allow me to be YOUR wedding photographer, too!

A Seaside Wedding

This is what the bride and groom thought as a Trash-The-Dress session.
I felt it was a beautiful post-wedding portrait time of two lovers.
They were so great playing in the waves for me.

Casual Engagement Photos

At a friend's picnic I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph a friend and his new bride-to-be.
We took a short walk through the woods to a nice spot, and decided to take some nice relaxed portraits, just the two of them.
I feel these shots captured their down-to-earth attitude, and tender affection for each other.

Gay Pride March

May 1st was a beautiful day in downtown Northampton, Massachusetts.
I was there to document for myself the fun and color of the Gay Pride March.
It happens every year at this time.
This year was the biggest and bestest celebration to date.
I couldn't stop shooting I was swept up in the joy of diversity!

Art Photos

I used the camera of my iPhone to capture these little moments in time around myself.
It is so convenient to be artistic wherever I am.

Home Portraits

A few months ago a friend recently saw a Facebook post of mine.
I was offering to do family portraits.
He asked if I would shoot the newest member of his family...
... his family's rebuilt house on the coast of Maine.
Right now he and his family live in Africa, and will be back in the states soon.
He has not seen his new home, and wants photos of it before all the furniture moves in.

I went up on a chilly, rainy day a couple weekends ago.
What I thought would be a literal washout, ended in being a wonderful photo opportunity.
The overcast skies made the perfect ambient light to photograph a many-windowed, three-storied beauty of a structure... especially inside.
It's a beautiful modern home, filled with wonderful daylight and LOTS of color.

I'm looking forward to possibly spending a summer day visiting with them, and taking more photos...
...once it's lived-in, and filled with the family's personality.

But this weekend, the house had a personality all it's own.
