Favorite Locations we have worked
Below is a list with a link to places I have worked over the last 17 years. A lot of these places have been worked at multiple times. If your location is not listed, it doesn't mean I can't shoot there, it just means we haven't been commissioned to do so.
Andover Country Club
(60 Canterbury Street Andover, Massachusetts 01810 (978)475-1263) is a golf and country club that has been around for 90 years. The clubhouse is a spacious 54,000 sq feet and holds up to 600 guests. The ballroom has floor-to-ceiling windows, and beautiful grounds to host your wedding. The country club is located 20 miles from Andover MA and is on an 18-course golf course. It sits on the former site of the old Chandler Farm which was open in 1925 which was off Lowell Street and River Road and Lincoln Street in Andover. The former owner of the land was William Wood and he was also the owner of the American Woolen Co. located in Lawrence, MA. It was the largest mill in the world and it employees 30,000 employees. The company created manufacturer and distribution of men's and women's worsted and woolen fabrics. Mr. Wood owned up to 60 wool mills in the country.The owner of what is now Andover Country Club is Yvon Cormier. Mr. Cormier is known throughout Andover Massachusetts for his philanthropy and his buildings. He is known for the charities he helps raise money for such as the Jimmy Fund, Mass General Hospital, Lazarus House, and the Andover Youth Center, Also know as the Cormier Youth Center. It was developed after a few young people in Andover lost their lives to suicide, and the town knew something needed to be done. They raised funds and built what is today the Andover Youth Center. It has been designed to help engage the young people of Andover. It has been around for 20 years now and is well known in the community. Its located at 40 Whittier Court Andover MA
Mr. Cormier expanded the Andover Country Club to include hotel rooms, a dining room, and a ballroom for events such as weddings and corporate meetings, and charity galas. Most recently the club has opened a tennis and basketball court, a sprinkler park for the kids as well as a pool. If that’s not enough there is even a playground for the kids.
It's the perfect venue to have family fly in and host a rehearsal dinner and wedding and day after breakfast!
Atlantic Inn; Block Island
(359 High St, New Shoreham, RI 02807) - The Inn is set up on a hill overlooking the island below. It's one of the best views on the island to host your wedding. The laid-back atmosphere is perfect for those searching for the destination wedding island feel! The porch has wicker chairs, and if you choose to host your even in the house or outside, there is a tent for you to be protected from the elements, should you need it! The Inn has full-service wedding planning with connections to Florist (such as La Bella Rose Flowers, Painted Rock Flowers) The venue has a vibe that is not found on the Islands.
The Inn has 21 rooms which are perfect for smaller weddings and the need for lodging. The Ferry can at times be tricky to get to and from the island. If it's too windy or bad weather, they shut the ferries down. This can be problematic if a vendor didn't anticipate that issues and leave a day or two before your event. Traveling the day OF the event is NOT recommended.
To get to Block Island, you need to take a ferry (or fly). The ferries leave from Pt. Judith in Rhode Island, Newport, Rhode Island, and Fall River Massachusetts. If you are coming from Long Island, you need to take Long Island and Block Island connect via Cross Sound Ferry from Orient Point and transfer to the Block Island Express in New London.
Should I take a car to Block Island?
It all depends on where you are going or staying. I have taken my car over so I can get to other parts of the island easier. Just know, if you are staying at one of the hotels right off the ferry, parking is hard to find. Some of the outskirt hotels and inns you can park at with no issue. Just know, there are plenty of cabs, and bikes and scooters to zip around this island.
How big is Block Island?
Block Island, is about 109 sq miles around, 6 miles long, and 3.5 miles wide. Its not a big island and you can probably explore the entire thing in a long weekend and leave having seen it all.
