For those of you who knew Judge Joseph Ferrino, former presiding judge in East Boston District Court, you should take a look at these photos. I took these photos at Judge Ferrino’s Life Time Achievement award ceremony on October 9, 2009 at Lombardo’s in Randolph. The event was hosted by the Justinian Law Society of Massachusetts. There were a lot of other judges and political figures at the event as well, including MA State Sen. Anthony Petrocelli, MA Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo, the Mayor of Revere Thomas G. Ambrosino, and many more. Thank you Jerry Falbo and Mario Campano for the opportunity to capture an amazing event and to meet such an admirable man. You can check out the slide show below or visit the online gallery to order prints. http://beacon.zenfolio.com/judgeferrino

These photos are of Lindsay and Brandon’s beautiful wedding at the Emerson Inn in Rockport, MA.

Thank you Eileen and Clark Thompson for finding and hiring me. It was a pleasure and honor to take these photos.
