Steve Nunes - I've been passionate about photography for a very long time....I was raised on photography, you see, my Dad has always been a great photographic artist; he introduced me to the art and shared his love for it with me. I was bitten by the photo bug at a really young age. I would stand on a footstool in Dad's home darkroom and watch the chemicals make the image appear on the paper. It was magic to me! For my twelfth Christmas, all I wanted was a 35mm camera....boy did I love that camera! Now, here's how the magic continued, when I would show my family and friends my work, I would look at their faces, and realized that my images could evoke an emotion, a chuckle, a smile, and even tears. To me that was powerful. I knew that photography and the preservation of a moment in a life was really important and special. As this "photo geek" continued through junior high school, and high school, I thought, could I possibly make a living doing something I truly love? It is all I've done for the past 29 years. All the moments and milestones, the babies, the families, and the weddings that I've captured with my lens have been a blessing. It's still magic to me.
Steve Henriques - Becoming a photographer was never an intention, but more of an accident for me. I was in Commercial Art with dreams of becoming a cartoonist or going into sign painting & design. My senior year is where it changed for me. While on the yearbook staff, I was asked to learn how to use a camera to help with the photography in and around the school. I have to say I wasn't happy with that because I enjoyed the layout and designing of the book. Boy did that change quickly. My love for photography grew in that year, and next thing I know, I am at the U.S. Navy School of Photography. The next few years were spent working in a Navy photo lab, learning all the ins, outs and what's of photography. I happened to work with a Master Photographer,Richard Ramsey, who mentored me and introduced me to the world of portrait and wedding photography. Upon my return home I ended up here at Imagemakers, where I worked for 17 years before becoming a partner 10 years ago. I come to work every day and get to work side by side with an outstanding photographer, and great friend of mine for over 27 years. I have a beautiful wife, and a great family. I have the pleasure of capturing some of the greatest moments in peoples lives and sharing my vision with them through my camera.

This blog post is a little late, it’s been a little crazy around here! Anyway…Congratulations to Kelly and Caleb, the new Mr.& Mrs. Piehl! This couple is in line for a lifetime of good luck…they say if it rains on your wedding day, you’ll have years of good luck. During the ceremony it came down heavy, but Kelly and Caleb never missed a beat nor did they let the weather influence their special day. Relaxed portraits of the bride and groom and their wedding party were done back at the Rodman Mansion ( Imagemakers home base), and then we were off to the New Bedford Country Club. We wish you both all the best! Click here to see their hi-lites slideshow. We always have a solid back-up plan for “Wedding Portraits” and “Formal Group Photography” if weather becomes an issue on your wedding day. The studio located at The Rodman Mansion in New Bedford, MA offers our couples beautiful locations for both indoor and outdoor photographs.
What a great evening it was for getting some great shots of Caroline at a new location we’re using for seniors. We walked around and found all kinds of locations to pick from. Thanks Caroline for letting us capture some fun images of you at Fort Tabor. We had a great time!
The Steve’s are back from the 2008 PPANE conference and competition. Both Steve Nunes and Steve Henriques are International Award Winning Photographers and had taken a few years hiatus from competing. Combined they received 5 first place BLUE ribbon awards in the portrait, wedding, and illustrative categories. The image entitled, “Hu-mannequin” received the Best in Show award in the illustrative category. An 8 pose high school SENIOR folio also received the Best of Show in the Teen/Senior category. They also attended several educationals and seminars while there. A great way to celebrate their 30th year in business!
A few images from this week’s engagement session of Danielle and Grant. A beautiful session on a really beautiful night at the beach. We will be photographing their wedding September 19, 2009. We hope they enjoyed the shoot as much as we did!
Congratulations to Michelle and Nelson (Mr. and Mrs. Linhares)! The weather cooperated just enough for us to get our outdoor formals done, we used the Rodman Mansion (Imagemakers studio location) and New Bedford’s historic district. Hawthorne Country Club’s main room looked really beautiful, thanks to the amazing work of Anna from The White Bouquet Florist. Click Here for your hi-lite slideshow.
