Darren Pellegrino Photography Engagement: Juliano & Mellissa

Summer has arrived here in New England in full force. I was on my way to Juliano and Mellissa's engagement shoot in Charlestown at the Bunker Hill Monument Park. It was two hours before sunset and it looked like night time because of the dark clouds hovering over Boston. Then the rain came rolling in. Oddly enough as I pulled in front of the park it stopped and began to clear. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful evenings we've had this season not to mentioned working with a great couple who were so happy together. Juliano and Mellissa are getting married at the end of the month. The wedding is at the Commanders Mansion in Watertown. www.commandersmansion.com. Check out a few images from their engagement shoot.

Darren Pellegrino Photography Engagement: Evan & Stephanie

Evan and Stephanie chose a great spot for their engagement shoot. Chandler Hovey Park in Marblehead, MA. It was the same place that Evan proposed. It turned out to be a beautiful evening and the images came out great despite the strong breeze. They are having their wedding at Michaels Function Hall in Haverhill, MA in September. Have a look at a few of their engagement images!

Castello di Amorosa

Fresh back from California. Spent a few days in San Francisco and Napa Valley. Amazing! One of my favorite vineyards was Castello di Amorosa. www.castellodiamorosa.com. It's located between St. Helena and Calistoga. Great wines! Especially the dessert wines. One note about wedding photography, there are only 3 wineries in Napa Valley that have permits to have weddings. Can you believe that? It's a shame because there are so many beautiful venues. This is one of them but guess what? Not allowed. They opened in 2007. Here are a few images from our visit to Castello di Amorosa which means "the loving castle".

iPad Rocks!!!

Well, iPad arrived on schedule on April 3, 2010 and I have to say it's amazing! Since this is a photography blog and primarily a wedding photography blog at that, I just wanted to write a quick post on how iPad is fitting in to my business. First, just a quick note, you probably already notice that I've left off the article "the" before iPad. That's the way Apple is doing it so I thought I'd follow suit. I guess they think iPad should be referred to like a person. It's alive! Anyway, iPad is an amazing presentation tool. The screen is so sharp and crisp that I was stunned looking at my own portfolio all over again. I recently had my first opportunity to show it off to some potential clients and they loved it. If I'm not mistaken, with iPad in hand one of them said "These pictures are freakin awesome!" I can't wait to show it off again. I'm planning to show some sample slideshows as well as sample album pages to give my clients a taste of what their final product will look like. If you don't have iPad yet, I suggest you go and get one!

Best of 2009: My favorite Image

I took thousands of images in 2009. From weddings to portraits to travel and personal work. The thought of perusing thousands of images in search of my favorite was daunting. So that’s why I didn’t do it. It order to find my favorite one, I thought about one simple thing. Which image impacted me the most. I know this is a wedding photography blog but my favorite shot from 2009 was of my niece Scarlett. Oh, and because this is a wedding photography blog, I’ve also included 3 of my favorite wedding images from 2009. Enjoy!

Here are a few of my favorite wedding images!
