Dreaming of Maui

Monday, July 26, 2010 Posted in About Deborah 2 comments

So, it’s 11:oopm. Bedtime. And when I lay my head down on my pillow and fall asleep tonight, I’ll have sweet dreams of…. Maui! Yes, that’s right, this fall we’ll be traveling to tropical paradise, an absolute dream come true for me (Dave’s been twice, psh you should all stick your tongue out at him) I can’t stop thinking, daydreaming, and planning our trip and what it will be like. I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that we are going! And the things to do, it’s so hard to pick and choose, there are so many! And that doesn’t even include my scheduled sit-around-the-pool-and-do-nothing time!

So, I need your help. What would you do if you had the trip of a life time to Maui? If you’ve been, what do you recommend, what should we see, where should we go and most importantly, where should we eat. Leave your recommendations below and I’ll refer back to this post for planning!

This is from our trip to Key West, three years ago. Since I don’t have photos of Hawaii yet, this will have to do! Goodnight all!

Jessica and James Engagement | Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Monday, July 26, 2010 Posted in Engagement 4 comments

He makes her laugh, a lot! A smile is constantly on her face when she is around him. And she even brings out a smile or two from him, a guy who professes he doesn’t know how to smile. Jess and James just click and bring out the best in one another.

On Saturday we spent the afternoon walking around Portsmouth. Loving old houses and charm of an older city, Portsmouth was the perfect location for these two. We found alleyways, colonial homes, brick walls, old churches and even a garden. Portsmouth is a great little city and I always love shooting there.

We started out at a little cafe right in downtown Portsmouth.

Jess and James, I can’t wait for your October wedding, and I know you can’t either!

Donna Hardy - What a wonderful session. They are an adorable couple. Obviously, very much in love. Yes, I agree with them — you are THE BEST. The backgrounds you found were awesome — even the one with the bicycle made an interesting composition. October wedding – what an beautiful time of year. Donna.July 26, 2010 – 3:43 pm

Jessica and James | Sneak Peek

Saturday, July 24, 2010 Posted in Engagement 3 comments

For some reason, I always manage to post sneak peeks right before bedtime. So per usual, I don’t have much time to write, but I couldn’t go to bed without sharing this little nugget from today’s engagement session in Portsmouth. The rain held out (just for us don’t you know). I had a great time with these two, especially James, who kept Jessica laughing the entire time (oh and me too!) Enjoy!

Andrea and Cory Part II | Boothbay Harbor Wedding

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 Posted in Wedding 2 comments

Yesterday I posted the first half of Andrea and Cory’s Boothbay wedding, so I’ll pick up where I left off!

Following the ceremony it was on to the party! We started with formals at the chapel and then walked across the street to the ocean for some group portraits. There were unending places to take photos, it was hard for Spring and I to choose!

American gothic with smiles?

Guys, seriously could you be any more good looking?

The bridal party were real troopers, especially the girls, who climbed the rock formations in heals to get this shot. Thanks guys!!

This makes me smile.

Oh so romantic.

Following the formals we moved on to the party. Check out these simple, yet elegant place cards.

The Pepperclub Restaurant catered the wedding and had this really cool display using veggies:)

Following the introductions, Cory and Andrea moved right into their first dance to Breathless by Taylor Swift.

Spring’s view

Adorable father/daughter dance. Half way through they invited all dads and daughters to join them on the dance floor.

It was followed by an even more adorable mother/son dance.

This was my first time experiencing the Hora. It was so much fun!

I was fully enveloped in the circle and loved it! What a celebration!

The toasts were incredibly sweet.

Gangsta…

AWESOME dance/interpretation to Devil Went Down To Georgia.

We managed to sneak the couple away for a few portraits down by the water.

Another of Spring‘s view. I loved having her with me, we work really well together. * yes that’s the moon folks!

I also loved having her tallness with me after I managed to kick my shoe off the dock into the water. I’ll save that story and PHOTO for another post!

Cory and Andrea, I hope that you have a fantastic time in Italy. Make sure to take LOTS of pictures for me to swoon over when you return!

Andrea and Cory Part I | Boothbay Harbor Wedding

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 Posted in Wedding 2 comments

Elise, Andrea’s matron of honor and sister told this story to open up her toast. “When we were little, Andrea and I used to ride the bus together. One day I noticed a friend’s cat outside and saw it hobbling down the street. The cat only had three legs! I turned to Andrea as I laughed at the cat’s misfortune. However, when I turned to her, Andrea wasn’t laughing. ‘Elise’, she exclaimed, ‘That’s not funny! How would you feel if you only had three legs? You wouldn’t want anyone to be laughing at you!’” Elise went on to describe Andrea’s kindness and selflessness towards others; how she and Cory make a perfect pair and how much they love others and each other.

It’s true. Andrea and Cory are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Greeting you with smiles and hugs, they always find a way to make you feel welcomed and loved. What a joy it has been to get to know them over these past few months. They are the type of people you feel lucky just to know. They really are a special couple.

Their wedding day was a joyous celebration; a unique mixture of Cory’s Jewish and Andrea’s Catholic faith. More importantly it was a reflection of who they are; a day filled with love, family and good friends. Cory and Andrea, I am so grateful to have been able to be a part of your day.

Despite a few butterflies for Cory, both were more than relaxed on their wedding day. Andrea confidently and excitedly floated around the room with her girls while Cory ate a leisurely breakfast and chummed it up with his best men. What a way to start the day!

Cory got ready at a rented home right on the water, while Andrea and her girls dressed at the beautiful Hodgdon Island Inn where the wedding took place. *note to brides looking for a wedding location or anyone looking to get away for the weekend, check this place out! With a beautiful location right on the water, and the most hospitable owners, Pam and Richard, this Inn is almost close to perfection!*

Spring and I started with the handsome groom!

And the equally handsome groomsmen.

The beautiful Hodgdon Island Inn.

Andrea’s gorgeous bouquet. I just had to post more than one! Flowers thanks to Nature’s Way Greenery located in Limerick, Maine.

Andrea’s GORGEOUS dress from J.Crew

Ahhh I love a dress with pockets!

Andrea’s beautiful bridal party!

She is adorable!

I love Andrea’s matron of honor, Elise, in the background. She taken aback by Andrea’s beauty!

Absolutely stunning!

Andrea stepped out of the limo at the church, ALL smiles, bubbling over with happiness!

The beautiful Wilson Memorial Chapel, RIGHT on the water!

Married!

Make sure to stop by tomorrow for more of Andrea and Cory’s wedding! And don’t forget to leave them some love below!

Mary JO Burcham - What absolutely beautiful pictures! I was there and these pictures do total justice to an absolutely glorious day! The whole wedding party was gorgeous, the place beautiful!

Ahhh, Relaxation

Saturday, July 17, 2010 Posted in Personal, Wedding 2 comments

This weekend, Dave and I are up in Boothbay, ME to shoot the wedding of two of my favorite clients, Andrea and Cory. There wedding is tomorrow, so we decided to come up early to enjoy Maine. It’s been wonderful, minus the horrific traffic getting here. Everywhere you are surrounded by water and beauty. It really is unreal.

As we were walking down in Boothbay Harbor tonight, ice cream cone in hand, I welled up with thankfulness and joy. I turned to Dave and told him how blessed I felt to have time to spend together, to have a job that allows me to travel, and that have the opportunity to share those experience with him. Even though it’s just for one weekend, this gift of relaxation is just what we needed.

As we drove home back to the Hodgdon Inn where we are staying, we stopped to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the water. The water, the docks (where we will be shooting tomorrow YESSSS), the orange sky, it’s perfection.

Lora Ayers - oh how I love the eyelashes and eyeballs shots.July 29, 2010 – 1:31 pm

Donna Hardy - AHHHHH I feel relaxed just reading your blog. And I’ve booked the B&B in my favorites for future reference.

The excitement in Chicago the past 10 days is that the Magnificent Mile has been closed to traffic (not the sidewalks & stores) for the filming of the Transformers. Explosions and movie stars are in town. I understand they will be filming around Chicago through August — so the city will be a feature backdrop to the movie. XOXO Auntin D.July 18, 2010 – 3:07 pm

The Album Design

Monday, July 12, 2010 Posted in Business, Wedding 1 comment

So, I’ve been a blog stalker of Jamie Delaine for like, ever. And ever being a few years. I remember finding her and being astonished at how young but amazingly successful and talented she was. Oh and she’s super fun and has amazing fashion sense. I met her for all of five seconds at WPPI this year and like a blog stalker crazy person, snapped a photo with her and Melissa Jill. I thought I might pass out, how I love those two.

Fast forward a bit, to the present and I recently found out that creativity bug doesn’t just end with Jamie. Her brother, Brandon, is also super talented and has started a new design company, The Album Design. I knew immediately that I had to hire him to create a wedding album for my recent couple, Amy and Salim. Take a look below at their awesome album design. Simple and elegant. A perfect fit for this modern couple. (design courtesy of Brandon, pretty please don’t copy)

As Deborah Zoe Photo has continually grown over this past year, I’ve had to really look at my business from a global perspective. While, at times it is hard for me to release control over certain areas of my business, I know that it is necessary in order for my business to grow. This is a lesson that, many photographers (The Youngrens, Dane Sanders, Justin and Mary , and more) have shared as they have grown their businesses over the years. I am not a designer and I felt that album design was one of the things that I should outsource to a graphic designer. I want to offer the absolute best quality to my clients and felt that someone else with design talent could fit that role.

Enter, The Album Design. I couldn’t be happier with the decision I made to work with Brandon. His design sense is a perfect compliment to the look and feel of Deborah Zoe Photo. Photogs, if you are looking for a album designer (he also does post processing) contact him today!

So moral of the story? If there is one thing in your business that you feel comfortable handing control over, do it. Your business will thank you, your clients will thank you and most of all your sanity will thank you

Run, Run, As Fast As You Can…

Friday, July 9, 2010 Posted in 10 in 2010, About Deborah, Personal 1 comment

I’ve run five races in the past four months. To some of you this is a small accomplishment, I know who you are and envy your athletic prowress! But for me, it’s a different story. I’m not super athletic, even though I want to be, and I am inspired by those who are. So in January of this year, I made a list of ten goals that I wanted, no needed, to accomplish this year. Running was on that list.

I’ve never been a fan of running, in fact, as you can read on our family blog, running and I have been some what of enemies since I can remember….

My first memories of running are in gym class in elementary school. I think it was part of a physical fitness test and we were required to run around the school’s fields four times. That’s one whole mile. Now, I don’t think that I had ever run more than a dash here or there before. Ride my bike all over town, sure, but run, nah, wasn’t my thing. What I specifically remember about this task, besides the fact that I felt like I was going to die, was everyone else finishing before me. As they sat on the steps behind the school watching me die as I tried to finish, I thought to myself, “Running, I hate you!” And that was it. Running would not be a part of my life.

Fast forward to high school, where, in order to make the field hockey team you had to run a mile in 8 minutes. There was no way that I was not going to play field hockey without all my friends. In two months my 11 minute mile was reduced to 8. I made the team and over the next three months I lost 60lbs. It was a crazy time. I also was on the track team in high school. For a self described, non-runner, I have no idea why I tried out for the track team besides the fact that my best friend was doing the same. We were part of the weight team but don’t think that we didn’t run. In fact we’d often do the same workouts as the sprinters. I’m tired just thinking about it.

It was these workouts and my own hard work to run a mile in 8 minutes that I began to develop an appreciation for running, but certainly not a love.

So this year I wanted to really give running at try, to see if my love/hate relationship with running could develop into something more. I wouldn’t say that today that running and I truly love one another. I still find myself cursing my jog on a hot summer day through our hilly neighborhood. What I do have, is a deep respect for running, a desire to see where it can push me and a gratefulness for helping me grow. To top it off, I’ve lost 17 pounds, a lovely added bonus. The year isn’t over yet and I have one more race planned for the fall. Until then I’ll continue to train and hopefully push myself.

I know some of you are thinking why the heck are you even posting this on your blog? Well, the simple answer is because running has become a part of me. This blog is a place to share not only about Deborah Zoe Photo, but also about me. I thank you for sharing your life with me and I hope that I can continue to share mine with you. Have a great weekend!

Happy Independence Day!

Friday, July 2, 2010 Posted in About Deborah, Personal No comments

I really can’t believe that it’s July already. Can you? That’s the funny thing with time. No matter how you try to slow it down or stretch it out, it always seems to fly by, at rapid pace.

I have always loved the Fourth of July. The red, white and blue, the Patriotism, the bbqs, oooh the bbqs. I love summer and this holiday seems to be the best of summer all wrapped up in one day.

This year, I plan to fully enjoy myself relaxing with family and friends. No work for me this year. Which means, little internet access and no blog updating. I’ve been going at full tilt for the past few months and I am starting to feel the effects. I’m burnt out and need a break. So with this upcoming long weekend I am planning on doing just that. I’ll return next week, hopefully refreshed and ready to go!

I hope that you too can sit back, kick up your feet, and relax this weekend! Sometime life just calls for a little bit of nothing to do and a whole lot of time!

Here’s to the best Fourth of July Celebration around. The Boston Pops and their famous fireworks display. Here’s last year’s show, enjoy!

Work and a little bit of Vulnerability

Thursday, July 1, 2010 Posted in About Deborah, Personal No comments

It might be safe to say that I hide behind the camera. Ok, maybe not so much hide as become a different person. Some people would say that I am outgoing, bubbly, the happy-to-be-around-people type and this may be true. So, here’s the vulnerability part. There have been times, when my inner self just wanted to hide under a rock, away from people and interactions. Can you believe it? Do other people feel this way?

In this profession however, I have to be outgoing. I have to be that bubbly, calming, voice to my clients, giving them confidence in their photographer and satisfaction in their experience. So what get’s me from hiding under a rock to organizing a rambunctious bridal party?

My camera.

It’s funny how this simple piece of equipment can really help a person become someone else!

Thanks to my camera, I have grown considerably from a shy, little girl that I once knew. I have a confidence now, that before, I didn’t have. I have a deep love and appreciation for people that I had, at one time, never known. Growing up has been, for the most part, a beautiful process and photography has been a big part of that. My love for photography has helped me see the world in a completely new way. Importantly, it has helped me see myself, not as that shy little girl, but as a people loving, confident young woman. I owe a lot to photography.

Because, every post is better with photos, here are some taken by my good friend Spring during an engagement session in Newport, Rhode Island. Talk about GORGEOUS. Please ignore the crazy-just-got-my-hair-cut-wind-swept look! We we’re right on the ocean after all!

What A Difference A Year Makes!

Monday, June 28, 2010 Posted in Personal, Slideshows 2 comments

This past weekend marked the year anniversary since we closed on our house and moved in! It’s hard to believe how fast time goes by. So much happened this past year, but yet it seems like yesterday that we were closing on our home. And it’s truly become our home. I look forward to coming home everyday to my hubby and our cat. Sitting out on our deck for dinner at night, gardening, running around our neighborhood. We can say with assurance that buying this house has been one of the best decisions we have made as a married couple:)

When we first moved into the house, the previous owners has spent a lot of time fixing it up inside, but left MUCH to be desired in the front garden and the yard out back. I have never had a green thumb and had NO desire to acquire one. But my mother-in-law, who loves to garden, was immediately on the job. Bringing down plants from her garden in New Hampshire, we quickly replaced the weeds that filled the garden out front. From then on, I absolutely loved working in the garden.

At times, like this past week, I find myself torn between working, running and gardening. Gardening usually wins. Who knew, that this non domestic goddess would ever find joy in the garden? Thanks to my mother-in-law, I have.

So here’s a little slide show of before and after. What a difference a year makes!

Prescott Park Engagement | Emily and Jay

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 Posted in Engagement, Slideshows 4 comments

I’ve known Emily for a while now. Her sister Anna is one of my dearest friends and I feel a deep love for the entire Cole family. When I found out that Emily was engaged, I literally screamed at the computer screen while simultaneously commenting on her Facebook page using as many exclamation points as possible.

You can imagine my joy when she and her fiance approached me about photographing their October wedding. Um, heck ya! I couldn’t have been more excited and honored!

So on Saturday we headed to Prescott Park in Portsmouth for their engagement session. All I had to do was get the two of these two facing each other they did the rest. Laughing, hugging, kissing. These two truly love one another. What a joy it is to see them together!

Emil and Jay, I had a blast with you guys! I am so happy to be able to call you guys friends! I can’t wait until October!

Enjoy!

Church Landing at Mill Falls Wedding | Stephanie and Tom

Monday, June 21, 2010 Posted in Wedding 2 comments

I’ve been waiting patiently to post this:) As you may know this post is very special to me. This post is about Stephanie and Tom. Stephanie is my sister – in – law, but at heart, my sister. She married the man of her dreams a week ago, and I had the honor of standing with Tom’s sister and Steph’s very best friends as they said I do. It was truly a beautiful and wonderful day and I couldn’t be happier for the two of them!

Tom and Steph were married right on Lake Winnipesaukee at the BEAUTIFUL resort, Church Landing at Mill Falls. This place is AMAZING. If you are looking for a perfect vacation or that beautiful setting for a wedding LOOK HERE!

One of the best things about Stephanie’s wedding was that my good friend, Spring, was her photographer. Spring, graciously allowed me to be a photographing bridesmaid. Staying out of Spring’s, way I was able to document a day that was very special to our family. I’ll admit that at times, ok, a lot of times, it was REALLY hard to not be taking photos. But I did manage to sneak a few in there!

Stephanie and Tom, you are the best and I wish you a lifetime of laughter, love, happiness and joy together! I can’t wait to watch as your marriage grows from year to year!

So to start off the day, Stephanie opened a special wedding present from Tom: diamond earrings to match her engagement ring!

I loved her delicate hair.

She looked like old hollywood. She is beautiful.

The flowers were amazing.

This is actually one of my favorite wedding images to date. She looks radiant!

Stephanie and Tom decided to see each other before the ceremony and do a first look. It actually was perfection! Sitting on the balcony above where they had their first look, I snuck a few photos inI love Tom waiting for his bride!

These next few photos make me all teary eyed and warm inside. This is Dave, my husband, my love. And this is him dancing with his baby sister on her wedding day. These are beautiful memories!

Stephanie and Tom, I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon and I can’t wait to hang out with the new Caucis family soon!

Hartman’s Herb Farm Wedding | Amy and Salim

Wednesday, June 16, 2010 Posted in Wedding 6 comments

I am so excited to share the sweet and stylish wedding of Amy and Salim with you! These two sure have style and are unbelievably creative! To be honest, when I woke up on Saturday and saw rain in the forecast I got a little nervous. But I had no reason to worry. As soon as we arrived at the wedding location we were immediately greeted by soft paper lanterns, bright hues of yellow and accents of green and white. Everything was absolutely beautiful! No detail was overlooked. A photographer’s dream!

Amy and Salim, I am so honored to have been part of your special day. As a wedding photographer you are made privy to the intimate details and moments between two people on their wedding day. To see two people care for one another like Amy and Salim is truly special and makes me so grateful to be a wedding photographer.

Congratulation’s guys!

Ceremony/Reception Location: Hartman’s Herb Farm

Attire: JCrew, Steve Madden

Jewelry: Earrings created by Glamourpuss, necklace from Tiffany’s

Flowers: Amy and her sister did them!

Decorations: Amy, sister and friends created all the decorations! Paper hearts, Place Cards, Table Numbers.

Music: Amy was her own DJ!

Now onto the photos!

Hartman’s Herb Farm is such a special place, filled with little nooks, perfect for a wedding!

Check out the image on the left that my second shooter, my hubby!, took!When Amy and Salim first met, Salim asked Amy to suggest a book to him. She suggested A Sentimental Education, her favorite book, but told her he better buy his own copy because she wasn’t sharing! Ever since they have owned two copies of the book, sitting next to each other on the bookshelf. So for the wedding Amy decided that she would use her copy to decorate the hall and create a romantic touch! The hall was accented with sweet little hearts on the walls, tables, windows. I love when weddings have such intimate and meaningful details! Here is where she found the idea.

Do you see any resemblance?

Amy you are beautiful.

Married!

I told you that these two are sweet!

Amy’s beautiful necklace, a wedding present from Salim! Good job Salim!

The earrings her sister created… don’t you just LOVE all the special details?!

The beautiful and lovely Amy.

The ever daper, Salim.

Salim knows how to work the camera too!

Check out the ceremony bling!

Time to party!

I’ll end with the my favorite image of the day. Amy and Salim dancing the night away with her parents looking on:)

Come back tomorrow for a slide show of their day!
