These images were made at a local wedding in Providence, RI. I love dancing at every reception because it really shows the emotion of all the couples who get caught up in the emotion of the wedding day. People really let their guard down and some intimate moments present themselves. I step back and use my long lens so I’m not intrusive and people tend to forget I’m there and that’s when I’m happiest because as a wedding photojournalist I want to be invisible for ninety percent of the day.

This past week New Orleans faced down a hurricane. Luckily it hit way to the West and only as a Tropical Storm. My children, MacDonald and Molly had Monday off from school in case they needed to evacuate and the thought of them brought me back to August of 2005 when they evacuated to Houston. In 2005 I flew down and picked them up and brought them home to Massachusetts. Mac and Molly were lucky to have a place that was safe and known to them as their second “home”. After the kids retuned home I would stay extra days on each trip to pick them up so I could document what happened.
I like people to know me for more than a wedding photographer. My personal project page is located at Katrina Hangover

This past Tuesday I had the privilege of presenting to a wonderful group of wedding photographers at the Boston PUG ( Pictage User Group ) on Color Management Workflow at LensProToGo in Concord, MA. I’d like to thank everyone that attended. If you have any questions on setting up Photoshop, preparing prints for a color space, etc just e-mail away. You were a great audience with tons of quality questions! I’m refining the presentation and hoping to have something even more in-depth the next time it’s unveiled.
As a photographer I cannot post to my blog without at least one image. I have been working on a sample B&W matted album as I would like to offer this even though I know it won’t be a big seller. I love Fine Art B&W and hopefully some couples will as well. Maybe even as a second wedding album.
