When we arrived at Pomperaug High School in Southbury, one of the things that struck Erik was how much it reminded him of the high school he went to in California, and the memories of running cross country. Stephanie and John have many fond memories of high school as well, since it was where they met for the first time (they say they didn’t feel a strong connection at the time, but we find that hard to believe as they are so playful and joyful together!), and and eventually fell in love We all had a great time together, laughing and relating, and most importantly we had the distinct pleasure of photographing these two being so adorable together. Seriously, how fun is it having the two of them stealing a kiss under the bleachers?

Steph and John, thank you for inviting us to capture the two of you at such a special place, and for reminding us that life is better when you are having fun with it By the way, we are totally split on the Lost season finale, and are so sad that it is all over!

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik

“What’s the most dramatic thing that has ever happened at a wedding you have shot?” was the question that Tom asked Erik while they were driving together on the way from The Inn at Norwalk toward Cranbury Park for Maria & Tom’s wedding. “Nothing too crazy or noteworthy” Erik replied. Little did they both know that the day had more in store for everyone than just a beautiful celebration shared with very special friends and family. Maria and Tom make us laugh and cry when we are around them. I think we were in a constant flux from laughter to tears throughout the entire day of their wedding, and it was such a wonderful feeling You can’t help but be enamored by these two, and the energy that each of them bring wherever they go is exponential when they are together. Oh, and they also just happen to look incredible when you photograph them, and make us love photography even more while doing it. For those that don’t know, Tom and Maria had the top third of a giant cedar tree snap off in the high winds at Cranbury Park during their ceremony and fall on half of the guests there. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. And even more amazing was that these two were able to still be so balanced between the joy of the celebration and the care that they showed for not only those hurt by the event, but for their friends and family there for them.

Ceremony & Reception: Cranbury Park, Norwalk, CT
Event Planner: Lindsey Maurath Fresh LiME Events
Catering / Tent: Fishtales Seafood Company
DJ: Justine Davis, NightStar DJ & Karaoke

Maria and Tom, we love you both very much, and will always remember your wedding day for all of the best reasons – just how awesome the two of you are, and what an absolute joy it is to be with you on one of the most magnificent days of your lives

xoxo,
Vicki and Erik

p.s. Tom, I think I cried more than you

Harkness Park is really one of our favorite locations to photograph, and we were excited to meet Marcia and Aaron there for their e-session. There are so many beautiful spots there, from the beach to Eolia Mansion. We had a lot of fun talking and discovering new, magical places to photograph them being so adorable Marcia and Aaron are such a perfect fit, and we loved hearing about how they met for the first time, as well as how they reconnected later and proceeded to fall madly in love. We seriously could have spent all day with these two, but they did have a long drive home, and we try not to hold our couples hostage for tooo long…

Marcia and Aaron, thanks again for choosing us to be your photographers, and for being so warm and full of all the great qualities that make getting to know you both so much fun. I knew we would have perfect weather and amazing light when we finally got together!! Thank you Aaron for all the great tips on posture and stretching, our backs haven’t felt this good in a long time!

xoxo,
Vicki and Erik
