Method

As a former professional photojournalist, Seth Kaye’s documentary photography is unobtrusive and unstaged, maintaining a respect for the reality and integrity of any wedding day.

Seth works in a narrative style, part of a philosophical and stylistic approach to photographing weddings where the photographer observes instead of directs, and where real moments are free from manipulation and interference.

Your wedding photos will be presented as an artistic photo essay, with moments throughout the day photographed without checklists or formulas, making the visual expression of your wedding day uniquely yours.

Alex & Aleks’ Wedding

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Alex and Aleks’ wedding in Amherst at Hampshire College’s Red Barn. It was a day filled with activity and a few nerves, but great weather and close friends and family made it a really special event. Here are some photos from throughout the day…

Another Cover

One of my photos was again chosen to grace the cover of the Wedding Day Sourcebook. This image was taken at Kate & Erik’s wedding ceremony at the Abbey Chapel at Mt. Holyoke College in South Hadley, MA. Here’s the cover next to the original image…wds-2009-05-for-wordpress

MassLive Ultimate Prom! Contest Photos

This year’s winner of the masslive.com Ultimate Prom! contest was Breanna, a senior at Westfield High, who took home a bundle of prizes including my services of documenting her prom experience. We started in the afternoon at the DiGrigoli Solon in West Springfield where Breanna got her nails and hair done, then we stopped by her parent’s house where she finished getting ready and posed for a few photos with everyone. That’s also where Jake, Breanna’s date, met up with us and we travelled to a friend’s house for more pictures and to pick up the double-decker bus that transported everyone to Chez Josef for the prom.

Below are some of my favorite photos from throughout the day, though if you’d like to see the entire photo essay you can so so over at masslive.com. Here are links to the individual galleries:

Channel 40 Prom! Contest Winner Story

The masslive.com Prom! Contest is over and the prom itself was last week. I’ll be posting links to the masslive galleries shortly, as well as posting some of my favorite images from the day here, but in the meantime here’s the story Channel 40 ran about Breanna, the contest’s winner. I’m in there if you look quickly; you can see my forehead, and they used my camera as a sound effect a few times.
