baby camden portrait session

I had a holiday portrait session with the beautiful baby boy Camden. I believe it's important to photograph everyone when they're comfortable, relaxed, and in a good mood and this applies even more so to babies. About halfway through the morning photoshoot Camden decided he needed a little nap so we took a break and I played some acoustic guitar with his father Josh. Afterwards the little man was rearing to go.....

newlywed testimonial of andre blais photography

Here's a nice thank you note that I received, with all the e-mails and instant digital communications it's quite refreshing to receive a handwritten letter in the mail. It also makes me feel great to know that the pictures I take make people feel so happy....

Dear Andre,

Jay and I wanted to write and thank you for the incredible work you did during our entire wedding weekend. The pictures are AMAZING. Jay and I keep going through them, and our family and friends can't stop raving. You did a fabulous job!

We cannot say enough how comfortable you made us feel. We loved having you take all of the pictures and really enjoyed spending time with you. We are definitely referring everyone and anyone to you!

XOXO Love Abby & Jay

wedding at the kinney bungalow at sunset farm

I photographed the beautiful wedding of Deborah and Shawn, my final wedding for the year of 2009.

Deborah and Shawn came down from New York to be wed at Kinney Bungalow at Sunset Farm in Narragansett, RI. The groom Shawn is an experienced advertising photographer from NYC and I was honored to have been chosen to document his wedding day. It was also great to see all of the couple's friends and family also taking non-stop photos throughout the day. I'm used to the usual snapshots taking place alongside me, but it's refreshing to see people shooting with everything from vintage polaroids to the latest digital cameras.

Congratulations Deborah and Shawn, best wishes on your future together!!

new bedford whaling museum wedding photography

I spent the weekend photographing the gorgeous wedding of Abigail and Jason.

On the evening before the couple's big day I also photographed their rehearsal dinner at the Waterfront Grille, a nice restaurant that was a great fit for the couple's maritime themed wedding.

Abby and Jay were married at the historic Seaman's Bethel in New Bedford, MA. The Seaman's Bethel is actually the original "Whalemen's Chapel" of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. The chapel was originally constructed for the whalers of New Bedford to visit before setting sail.

Following the ceremony, we used the cobblestone roads and gaslight street lamps of the old town as backgrounds for some fun portraits. Afterward the celebration continued with their reception at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

Congratulations Abby and Jay!!!
