Allison + Rob – The Candlewood Inn, Brookfield, CT Wedding

May 23rd, 2009

Allison & Rob are two warm, friendly, caring people that are blessed with great family and friends. It was a day we were greatly anticipating since their engagement session – Allison is a classic beauty with an extraordinary smile that we couldn’t wait to get back in front of the camera, and Rob is a handsome devil ;) And once again, it was supposed to rain, but Erik and I brought along our steadfast luck, and the day proceeded with nary a drop in sight. Without further adieu, let the day begin!

Venue: The Candlewood Inn, Brookfield, CT
Florist: Designs by Nancy, Danbury, CT

And her flowers were beautiful as well.

Mirrors, in case you didn’t know, are one of our favorite things to work with. Any chance we can get to incorporate them into a shot, we take, and this was no exception. Allison was so thoughtful she even helped out with her bridesmaids hair that day!

The Candlewood has such an amazing view over the lake, and the light from the setting sun made these shots even more dramatic.

    I forgot to mention this is now the second wedding that I have been to that you were shooting, and as predicted this time we were to get horible rain (i.e. Michele and Valon’s Wedding). Somehow you have the luck to push it away. I am passing your name to all my friends who are getting married. You all have some luck…
