"I loved you first: but afterwards your love"
Poca favilla gran fiamma seconda. – Dante
Ogni altra cosa, ogni pensier va fore,
E sol ivi con voi rimansi amore. – Petrarca
I loved you first: but afterwards your love
Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier song
As drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.
Which owes the other most? my love was long,
And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;
I loved and guessed at you, you construed me
And loved me for what might or might not be –
Nay, weights and measures do us both a wrong.
For verily love knows not ‘mine’ or ‘thine;’
With separate ‘I’ and ‘thou’ free love has done,
For one is both and both are one in love:
Rich love knows nought of ‘thine that is not mine;’
Both have the strength and both the length thereof,
Both of us, of the love which makes us one.
Yahaira & Derrick Chery
To my dear and loving husband
A Poem By Anne Bradstreet.
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay.
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
Gloria and Sergey Cruise the Boston Harbor
No secrets here, Gloria is my cousin and now Sergey is too! Shooting a family member or a friends wedding may seem crazy to some wedding photographers out there, but honestly, I love it! Im able to get shots that I wouldn't be able to in an ordinary scenario. You may see photos of me sprinkled in here and there (shot by Video Guy Extraordinaire Marco Corrado), but most of the shots (as it should be) are of the beautiful newlyweds! This wedding took place on the Odyssey in Boston Harbor...and without further adieu...
To kick things off... Here is a photo from their engagement shoot we did last year at Minuteman National Park.
I've seen a lot of wedding dresses in my day... I think this one was my favorite.
My Uncle and I.
Lovely view of Boston Harbor from the Marriott Long Wharf Hotel.

John & Lauren's snowball fight
Just as the weather is getting warmer I wanted to remind everybody about snow and how fun it is! John Lauren and myself walked around the Boston Commons this past March. Snow was thrown, fun was had!. Looking forward to shooting their wedding in October!
