When Karen + Mike told us they were planning on getting married, we were extremely excited, and very happy for the both of them – Karen & Mike are good friends of ours, and we were honored and flattered that they were thinking about doing a quick portrait session (which by the way you have to be on a very special short list for ) with us as well as having us shoot their upcoming wedding . It was way too much fun hanging out with them, talking about what’s new in our lives, and laughing a whole lot. These two are totally in love, and it was pretty impossible not to get caught up in the warm fuzzies while we were taking their pictures!

Karen & Mike, we are so enamored with you guys, and simply cannot wait to have you over for coffee and talk about all of the fabulous details of your wedding next year!

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik

When two people who are so deeply in love that every moment they share together in front of our cameras gives us the best kind of goosebumps, we are reminded why we love our jobs so very much. And we mean job in the loosest way possible, because what we get to do day in and day out is essentially renew our vows, be present for some of the best parties around, and oh by the way, take some pictures while we are at it! We can’t begin to say enough great things about how much we love Michelle and Tyler. They are such beautiful people, inside and out, and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. We absolutely LOVED their engagement session in Kent Falls, and we got a really good idea about how much fun we were going to have being with them on their wedding day . And it was a sweet day! From Michelle’s Manolo Blahnik’s (we have already established Vicki’s obsession with shoes, so I won’t say anything further), to her incredible wedding gown and gorgeous Flowers by Danielle, the stage was set for magic. Tyler was looking pretty studly himself (even when holding Michelle’s flowers we might add!), and the Waterview looked absolutely magnificent with the falls leaves just starting to show on the hills surrounding it. In case you will be wondering in the photos below about how we managed to sneak their rings into a fishbowl, and why there was even a fish there to begin with, all we can say is that we asked Michelle if she trusted us with their rings, and she said “Absolutely!” As for the fish itself, you just had to be there, but we over heard a little something about “Petco”, and Tyler making a new home for a goldfish, in his stomach, on a bet .

Ceremony: St. Joseph’s Church, Brookfield, CT
Reception: Waterview, Monroe, CT
Flowers: Flowers by Danielle
DJ and Lighting: CT Party Pros

Michelle and Tyler, you guys had an incredible day, and we were so happy that we got to be on hand to photograph it all. I especially liked the chocolate fountain, and it’s pretty safe to say that if you have been reading our blog at all in the past year, you know what Vicki was going on and on about on the way home. That and the goldfish, and quite possibly about the photo right above

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
