I had an amazing opportunity to photograph an Indian wedding this past week end and it really opened my eyes to the fact that traditional western style weddings can be pretty boring when it comes to color at least! Sonjia and Mo are a beautiful couple here in Boston, with long historial roots back to India via the US and Canada. What a party. Please enjoy the images, taken Saturday at the Taj on Arlington Street.
Thanks to Sonjia and Mo along with Kelly and Susan who got me the job, and KC who helped out when I wasn’t taking a header on Arlington Street.

July 2, 2009 - 1:18 pmSonia - Justin - you are, in a word, amazing - thank you for making a special day even more special. Mohit and I cannot express how much your time, effort and spirit (oh yes and high tolerance of post-tumble pain) means to us, and how it shows in these beautiful photos of a wonderful day for all.
July 1, 2009 - 7:36 pmadmin - Thanks Susan ... it was a ton of fun!
July 1, 2009 - 5:02 pmSusan Young - Wow. These are fantastic.
Have spent the last few days together with old friends on the Vineyard. It’s been cold and wet, with wind to chill you to the bone, but the warmth of friendship has really made everyone cozy.
Yesterday was also the graduation of good friend and fellow photographer Stephanie Mitchell. Stephanie and I have worked together for close to 15 years now, first at The Boston Herald and now at Harvard. These are some photos from an intimate celebration held in her honor, toasting her Master’s Degree.
Inspired by recent posts at www.troutpreadator.com I stopped by the local fly shop today looking for native trout. Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) are the only trout native to much of the eastern United States. They are arguably the most beautiful freshwater fish, and they are amazing. Andy, Melissa and Miles of Concord Outfitters were spot on with their directions and thoughts on the chance of finding some native brookies close to home.
Here is the little Brook I bushwhacked my to and where I eventually found some wild fun.
and one of the amazing, colorful, lively and wonderful brookie’s I encountered.
Walking the boys this morning at Mt. Gilboa Park, I came across old friends I hadn’t seen in a year or so. Pink Lady Slippers,Cypripedium acaule, which are wild orchids. They pop up every year at this time and for me is a symbol of spring really arriving. They remain for a month or so and the qielty disapear again, but it’s always fun to see them.

Just got back from a great three day trip with good friend Marc Barbeau to the Gunpowder River in central Maryland. We were based out of Backwater Anglers in Monkton, MD, a beautiful fly shop
The Gunpowder is a small river teeming with wild brown trout, salmo trutta. Most of the fish we caught were in the 8 - 9 inch range, and a few in the 12 - 13 inch. All these fish were colorful beyond belief, and fought hard all the way to hand or net.
Trout Madness 2009, spring edition, has come to an end but the planning stages for fall have only just begun.
Had a chance last week-end to spend some time in Georgia after being invited down to shoot a lovely wedding in St. Simon Island. I’m going to try and put some photos up here, but wanted to get this first one up right away. I met Katie while shooting for her boss, Congresswoman Niki Tsongas during her election campaign a couple of years back. You can see a slide show of that work on my website, www.justinide.com.
I’ll put some more up later, but here is Katie putting on her veil right before the wedding began.
