Holly + Matt – Heritage Hotel, Southbury, CT Wedding Photos

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Vicki and I never know what kind of cool things to expect when we photograph a wedding (and we have photographed a lot and have seen some really cool things), so we go into the experience with a readiness to be blown away by the beauty of life and everything that surrounds us throughout a day such as the marriage of Holly + Matt. And everyone in the room was totally taken off guard when Matt opened his gift from Holly while he was getting ready and pulled out a Paul McCartney signed copy of Abbey Road – probably the coolest gift we have ever seen a bride give her groom, but to be expected from Holly, who is not just totally gorgeous and sweet, but incredibly thoughtful as well. They had seen Paul McCartney recently, and it was just the coolest thing ever to see Matt’s face light up, with me and Matt’s brother gawking (while I took photos of course). I grew up listening to the Beatles (my Dad saw them at Candlestick Park when he was a teenager) from a cassette player with my sister, singing along to Penny Lane and imagining ourselves there while we listened. I had mentioned how thoughtful Holly is, and she most certainly is – having brought us flowers for driving down to photograph them at their sweet engagement session in Dobbs Ferry, NY. And we also mentioned that she looked gorgeous, and she totally did in her Romona Keveza wedding gown from Kleinfeld, with her beautiful bouquet that was a replica of the bouquet her mom had at her wedding (with a little modernization). And Matt looked handsome as well, matching Holly perfectly not only in appearance but in genuine warmth and the way he just radiates happiness to those around him. It was a day to expect the unexpected, a day where everything came together perfectly, and at the center of it all were Holly & Matt.

Luisa + John – Harkness Park, Waterford, CT Engagement Session Photos

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Vicki and I had a smashing time with Luisa & John at their engagement session in the gorgeous Harkness Park, and they look absolutely incredible together. We loved that they brought different outfits (and that they were excited about getting into the water at the beach!), and they also brought a complete willingness to relax and be themselves in front of cameras, and the results we think, speak for themselves ;)
