Jessica + Sean – Waterview, Monroe, CT Wedding
May 6th, 2009We have been looking forward to Jessie + Sean’s wedding since we first met them. You may remember them from their engagement session back in January. Jessie’s joy and laughter emanate from her stronger than anyone I have ever met. She was full of smiles and laughter for her entire wedding day. Sean is warm and genuine, and an honest to goodness gentleman. Together they are a force to be reckoned with. What God has joined together let no man put asunder.
Chapel: Our Lady of the Rosary Monroe, CT
Venue: Waterview, Monroe, CT
DJ: Kirk Michaels, Sound Investment DJ Service
Flowers: Flowers By Danielle Monroe, CT
This is how the guys get ready. Erik captured this killer shot! Sean is wielding one of his brothers pellet guns. He was feeling a bit James Bond in his tux.
Last minute tie straightening.
Jessie’s gown!
Putting on makeup.
Shoes.
Jessie is amazingly beautiful!
I love this shot with Jessie’s mom.
I told you – non stop smiles!
Arriving at the chapel.
Some details.
Walking down the aisle with her Grandfather.
Erik’s view – the chapel form above. You can see me standing on the left with my veil.
More of those smiles – about to be married!
Jessie’s mom and stepfather.
I love this moment! This is my favorite part of the ceremony. Pretty sure I was crying here.
We were waiting to get back into the chapel for some portraits with the Bishop…isn’t that light amazing?
Married and blissful!
Erik captured this moment in the limo. This is not posed folks. They are THAT into each other!
Off to the reception – some details.
The newlyweds.
Love it!
; )
We went back into the bridal suite for a few images on the couch.
The bouquet.
First dance.
Erik captured this amazing shot during the first dance. They finished with a perfect dip!
Sean’s heirloom ring – all of the men in his family are given one when they turn 21. It has the family’s crest on it.
Cutting the cake!
The bouquet toss.
Jessie and Sean thank you SO much for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day. I can’t tell you how special it was for us! Thank you to your families and friends for being so welcoming and treating us like part of the family. We wish you both all the joy in the world (although i suspect you have that already ; )
xoxo,
Vicki + Erik

Great job Vicki & Erik. These photos look really great. I really like the ceremony shots specifically the tight ones of her parents, and the priest blessing them. Nice job guys!!

you RARELY see a brides dress that covers the shoulders in such an-old school-cool way—REALLY a nice change I must say!…why does the groom have a pistol?

Beautiful images. The one of her from above when you were waiting for photos with the Bishop – GORGEOUS! I Love that her dress was so different! Beautiful job you two

So cool! Awesome job! I love how you caught their personalities so well: I love “Married and Blissful” That’s such a Jessie moment.
The thing that keeps going through my head is: “I don’t remember everything looking so cool that day!”
You guys really did great.

Outstanding! You have captured the more than just a moment, but the emotions as well. The photographs are as unforgettable as the day itself. Your eye for the details is what makes your work so powerful. I can’t wait to see the finished album.

My favorites are all the shots that capture all their emotions – the laughing outside the church, the moment in the limo, the dip – really shows how crazy they are about one another. Great job, as always!!

Thank you so much Vicki and Erik. Photos were absolutely beautiful. But then again, when you have two beautiful subjects, it’s not hard to have such beautiful photos. You did a great job. Jess and Sean had such faith in you that none of us were worried about the outcome. So glad you were there to share the day. You have definetly captured memories to last forever.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart
