Diane + Joe. Everything about their wedding was a true joy to be a part of, and the day itself was about as iconic New Haven, Connecticut as you could get. The Omni Hotel where Diane got ready was a stone’s throw away from the Center Church on the Green, which was set across from the New Haven Green, and surrounded by city people enjoying the absolutely perfect late summer weather. It was an emotional ceremony to say the least, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when all was said and done! Not only did Diane and Joe look incredible together, their infatuation with one another, coupled with Diane’s elegance, and Joe’s striking presence made every shot we took of them give us pause to whisper to one another: “Wow! Are you seeing what I am seeing?”. It was pure magic at Lighthouse Point, followed by an action packed good time at Anthony’s Ocean View. We think we have the most fun / best jobs ever, and working with Diane & Joe certainly proves our point!

Diane + Joe, we love that you invited us to document all the wonderful happenings going on during your wedding day, and we spent the whole ride home unable to wait to begin looking through your photos . We are sure you had an amazing time in Maui and Kauai (a touch jealous by the way), and hope the buzz never wears off!

Erik + Vicki

The Waveny is our new favorite. And Erika + Tim are too!! More to come

Carmina + Anthony. Looking over these pictures as I write this brings a few things to mind. One, that they look incredible together. Two, that they both look totally at ease and awesome in front of the camera, even with bicyclists trying to run us over when we got to close too the bike lane on the Brooklyn Bridge, and with a constant stream of strangers gawking at these two in the spotlight. When we first met them, not only did we fall in love with them right away, we also loved the story of how Anthony proposed to Carmina. They were with their two friends, Cara & Brian, and Brian was the only one who knew Anthony was about to propose. Being a great friend, Brian tried to pull farther along the bridge to give Carmina & Anthony some privacy, and Anthony lagged behind to do the same. Both Carmina and Cara were telling their guys that they needed to slow down or hurry up. When Anthony finally had Carmina distracted with taking pictures of the Manhattan skyline, he dropped to one knee right as she turned back around, and the rest is history, as they say! So obviously we were really excited to head into the city and meet them at a place that has such deep emotional meaning for both of them. It was a really great evening spent together, and as we were leaving, Carmina busted out a dozen chocolate chip cookies that she had baked for us, as a thank you, along with a really sweet thank you card. Seriously, it made an amazing day that much better (and the cookies were delicious). Without further adieu, here are some of our favorites from the night.

Wow! What can we say? We absolutely adore you both, and you brought genuine emotions that shine through in each and every shot. Also, you can bake us cookies anytime Carmina! We cannot wait for your wedding, and are both really excited to hear about all of the plans for the big day!

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
