Brian and I are often asked “Where is the most beautiful place you’ve ever shot a wedding?”

Well after this weekend, we have a new answer!

Cape Cod, Massachusetts!

Brian and I have never been to Boston or the Cape, so when it came time to shoot Christine and Patrick’s wedding, we decided to tack on a couple extra days and enjoy the area. Wow…Cape Cod took our breath away!

The shingled homes with colored shutters, the quaint town of Chatham with stores named after the Mayflower, the quiet sea, the cute restaurants…it was amazing! You may be thinking, ‘Why aren’t you showing us pictures of all THIS?’

The answer is kind of fun! Sony overnighted their new Alpha 900 SLR to us. This camera is unreal and will blow photographers away. Just for starters, the camera is 24.6 mega pixels and shoots lighting fast! The Alpha 900 has not been released to the market yet, and I think we may be the first wedding photographers to ever shoot a wedding with it. Shooting the Cape Cod wedding with the 900 was so exciting. But the deal is we had to promise Sony we would not show any 900 images until the end of October (when the Alpha 900 releases to the market), so you’ll have to bear with us. Promise, it’s worth the wait! 🙂

For now, here are a few of our favorite shots taken with the Sony A700. These images are just a taste of how wonderful this wedding was! Notice the subtle blue hues. The color of blue in Cape Cod’s light is so different than the blue hues in the Pacific Northwest or Southern CA. It’s a soft, washed blue that is ever so subtle but in the light surrounding you.

The sun was setting when we took these shots, and I decided not to brighten them up in Photoshop because the low light lends to how intimate this couple was–how deeply they connected at the slightest touch of the other.

I don’t know if it makes sense, but can you see the undertones of the soft blue in these images? It’s so subtle, and yet it changed every thing for me and Brian.

Here is Brian’s favorite “blue hued” example. This one was photoshopped a bit. Brian caught me having fun on the dance floor with the guests. You would have put your dancing shoes on too if you heard the band they had! And yes, I can still take great pictures while dancing. 🙂

Congrats Christine and Patrick! We hope you have a wonderful honeymoon! It was a complete gift to document your wedding.
