Bridget + Paulo – Waterview, Monroe, CT Wedding

April 29th, 2009

I knew the first time I met Bridget and Paulo that they were one of those rare couples – the love just radiates between them. Saturday was an incredible day – sunny skies and 85 degrees. One of the most gorgeous April days we have ever witnessed. It was made even more perfect as Erik and I were able to witness the marriage of Bridget and Paulo.

I just had to post this last one – makes me smile every time I see it. Paulo accidentally got a bit of cake on Bridget’s nose when he was feeding her.

  5. Lisa S Says:

    The photos are FABULOUS! Jakie sat on Dad’s lap and looked at all of them over and over. I asked him which ones he liked the best and they were of the wedding. He, of course, commented on the “police officer” (doesn’t get the chauffeur thing) as his favorite picture. I love the one after the wedding with that fabulous light framing their faces. Brava and Bravo. You are an amazing team and the couples should be over the moon with their images.

    All of the engagement work is masterful and Jacob looks forward to more and more pictures on “Auntie Vicki’s Blog”. Yay!

    What a way to start out the season! I love that shot with her getting ready to go in the church… the classic car, the old-looking florist building in the background, it looks like a postcard. The shots in the field with the long grass and that amazing light are just gorgeous. Fabulous job as always!! :)

  8. Eileen Broderick Says:
