This blog is a complement to my two other photography websites, but its function is quite different.  This is an interactive spot to explore, share, exhibit, research, critique, and generally hang out.  I´ll be posting frequently...everything from highlights of each photo shoot to cool things I find on the web to searching out the most divine teas in the world (I am a tea geek, actually I´m a geek in general...as you will soon find out).  So my point?  With this blog, you get the whole shebang...lock, stock and smoking 70-200 F2.8 (camera humor...lame, I know).  Thanks for stopping by, and let´s start chatting!

Details, Details, Details...Madeleines Daughter Bridal Shop

Monday, March 8th, 2010 at 7:04pm - Weddings

Yes, that´s right.  I´m writing an entire blog post about a single dress that I absolutely loved.  It belonged to Lauren who got married in January 2010 at The Wentworth By The Sea Hotel & Spa.  It was ultra glamorous and came from the exquisite Madeleine´s Daughter bridal boutique in Portsmouth.  That´s it.  Enjoy...

Ariel and Adam Wedding : 1 of 22

Ariel and Adam´s wedding day had all the elements of a beautiful Winter day...candlelight, warmth, snowflakes, romance.  Their palette was navy blue and warm ivory.  The entire soiree took place at The Red Barn in South Berwick Maine.  They even ran around outside in 15 degree weather for me!  And some as a result I took some of my favorite portraits of the season.  Joe Dionne of Dionne Entertainment kept the joint hopping with mostly a 1980´s vibe, as per requested from the bride and groom.  One of the funnest weddings I´ve ever been too!  They honeymooned in St Johns--can´t think of a more perfect spot.

Wanted to do something a little different for this year´s Bridal Expo at The Stage Neck Inn in York Maine.  The event is put on each year by The Greater York Region Chamber of Commerce.  My inspiration came from Pink Pearl Images in Toronto Ontario.  I hired artist Bear Kirkpatrick to build the booth, and he and Ali Goodwin graciously helped set it up.  It was a big hit! All my new albums were in full view and the colors hint at the design of my brand new studio in York Village.  Thanks to all the brides and vendors at the expo for stopping by!  Visit my wedding website Geneve Hoffman Photography for more info...

I styled this shoot for my daughter, my neice, and our friends while they were up here for vacation in July 2009.  It´s an idea for our new "Day in the LIfe" portrait series at Lumina: life. documented.  We are all tea fanatics, and the idea of this shoot came from a song I had heard by Frances England, a children´s singer/songwriter.  The whole shoot just popped into my head, and I decided to make it happen.  The shoot can be styled professionally so that all you have to do is have fun!  It´s about creating and documenting real memories with your family. We have a brand new studio in downtown York Village, Maine--swing by and see albums of these sessions and lots of other fun stuff.  Check our blog often for more inspiring ideas.  Life is about love, let us document it!  All floral design for Summer Tea Party by Kate Martin at Beautiful Days, and all stationary by Sara O´Brien at Griffin-vites.  See the entire slideshow here:  Tea Party Slideshow.  Thanks!
