P+K joins HBO, American Airlines & Marriott Hotels in documenting the World War II veterans “Honor flight”

Person + Killian Photography was humbled to take part in documenting the World War II veterans “Honor flight”, that departed Boston last week.

A distinguished group of World War II veterans had the chance to visit the World War II Memorial for the first time, as part of a national initiative to honor members of the military.

In all, 250 WWII veterans who served in the Pacific traveled to Washington, DC from across the country on “Honor Flights,” special trips arranged by The Honor Flight Network to bring veterans to the nation’s capitol in order to see the memorials that honor their service to our country. 

HBO, in partnership with American Airlines and Marriott Hotels & Resorts, sponsored these a special Honor Flights, timed to the premiere of The Pacific. The epic, 10-part miniseries is based on the true stories of WWII Marines who fought in the Pacific Theater.

Honor Flights departed March 10 from Boston, Chicago, Cleveland (serving veterans from the Akron-Canton area), New York and Orlando, with special send-off events at the gates in each city.

Thank you to all our World War II veterans and those who followed and continue to fight for our country every day.

Boston Youth Moves 2010 Gala Featuring Photographs by Person + Killian Photography

Last week Person + Killian Photography was asked by their good friend David Handy of Longwood Events to photograph all of the students at Boston Youth Moves for their upcoming Gala on March 6^th at the Westin Copley Place. 

Boston Youth Moves (BYM) is a non-profit pre-professional dance-training program for teens in the Greater Boston Area. The Mission of BYM is to encourage young people, through training in the art of dance, to explore their limitless potential.

The students were individually photographed and asked to provide a few words about what the organization has done for them. Each student will represent a table at the gala with their picture along with their quote.

Here are just a few of the images along with the invite to Swellegance 2010. This year, BYM will be honoring Tony Award winner and Broadway star, Tommy Tune.  For more information on the organization or to purchase tickets for this great event, visit Boston Youth Moves.

A special thank you to David for including P+K as part of this great event and to our associate Photographer Shane for doing this photoshoot!

A Wedding Proposal in Beantown - It's a YES!

Person + Killian Photography were beyond excited to have been contacted for the Labor Day Weekend proposal of Fred and CeCe. The groom to be, contacted us several weeks ago and said P+K were the ones he wanted to capture the moment to remember!

Just off the plane from their hometown of Dallas, TX, the couple hopped in a car from a nearby hotel and were dropped off at the Commonwealth Avenue Mall in the heart of Boston's Back Bay. CeCe, who had never been to Boston before was excited for what she thought was a walking tour of the city. What she was not expecting, was something much more memorable. On the beautiful Friday afternoon, the area was buzzing with people, providing the perfect space for P+K to remain inconspicuous while capturing the moment.

After the very vocal "YES!", we congratulated the couple and were able to spend a few minutes walking around the neighborhood with the glowing newly engaged. What a great moment. Thanks to Fred for reaching out to us for this once in a lifetime opportunity and congratulations again to the husband and wife to be!
