Deanna + Jose – Waterview, Monroe, CT Wedding
May 13th, 2009We love weddings. We are wedding photographers, so maybe you guessed that! I am an emotional person, and it generally doesn’t take too much to make me cry. I cry at every wedding we attend – at least once. At Deanna + Jose’s wedding I set a personal record for the amount of times I have cried at a wedding. It was a beautiful, emotion filled day, and Deanna and Jose have enough love and joy to share with everyone.
Venue: Waterview, Monroe, CT
DJ: Dougie Jam
Video: Marleen + Bill, Video Art Works Productions

Vicki & Erik…….I am speechless and crying all over again! The two of you are the most amazing and talented photographers, and truly capture the moments…….The pictures of my sisters wedding are priceless and I am sure that Jose and Deanna will have the same emotion years from now as they did the day that they were married. You managed to make my sister’s memories of the day absolutely stunning!
Thank you on behalf of the entire wedding party and the Mother of the Bride for the most amazing day, Erik and yourself made us feel so comfortable and allowed us all to show you both our true selves………….Fantastic Job!
Anyone can take a picture, but it truly takes a compassionate person(s) to shoot a photograph with meaning and presence………You both have that talent!

I seriously love the champagne shot – SO cool!! The picture at sunset is by far my favorite though – way to take advantage of the amazing light! I think the sky really plays into the romantic feel between them.
