Alessandra + John – Waterview, Monroe, CT Wedding Photos

Friday, December 9th, 2011

When you are meant to be with someone – your soul mate, your partner in life, the person you depend on when everything else fails – you just know from the onset and are willing to travel through any of life’s trials and tribulations to continue to be with that person. Even if you fell in love in high school, were separated from each other to build a career or work on a life goal, and worked through a long distance relationship until you could be united again. We love the story of Alessandra + John, and were touched to be a part of their unification after years of not being with each other every day. It proves that when something is just right, you are willing to go to any lengths to see that it comes to fruition. We have a lot of faith that these two are going to continue to be a hot item and grow in their lives together, and continue to bring smiles to the faces of everyone they surround themselves with. Because that is what life is really all about we think. Sharing love with those around you and not taking things too seriously :) . On their wedding day we were truly blessed to experience so many amazing moments and wonderful details. We fell in love with Alessandra’s wedding gown by Romona Keveza Legends and she looked simple incredible in it, accompanied by her beautifully flowing Toni Federici veil. We always love guys in bow ties, and John looked perfect – and was a handsome accompaniment to his beautiful bride. Part of what made the day so special was that Vicki and I photographed all of the family and the bride and groom on Alessandra’s parents property, and it was just about everything we could have asked for – ivy covered trees, stone fences and beautiful sunlit fields. It is the kind of backyard that we could have spent all day just photographing Alessandra + John. We can only hope that they are the type of couple to have a formal vow renewal, because we simply can’t wait to take pictures of them again (hint hint)!

Alessandra + John, the two of you are amazingly kind and caring, and treated Vicki and I like royalty. We thank you for inviting us to take pictures of moments that will be with you forever, and we are pretty stoked to think that you guys can now be a part of one another’s lives each and every day, in wedded bliss :)

Larissa + Gene – New Haven Lawn Club, New Haven, CT Wedding Photos

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

When we heard the news that our good friends Robert and Kathleen (who you can see in all of their maternity gloriousness that we had the pleasure of photographing here) were having a baby, we were totally excited for them, and thought it was just about the greatest thing ever! Baby Malachy was due to arrive right around the time of some of their weddings, and asked if we would be willing to step in for them and photograph Larissa & Gene’s wedding, one of their fantastic couples. We of course said yes, and after we had the chance to chat with them over the phone before their big day, we arrived to photograph them and all the goings on at the New Haven Lawn Club. We pretty much fell in love with both of them, their sense of style and their friends and family right away – Larissa is a stunner that has this vintage movie star quality about her, and Gene was the perfect compliment, suave and cool. We could definitely see why they were vowing to spend the rest of their days together as husband and wife. We had the opportunity to jaunt around the Lawn Club, as well at the Yale campus for some pretty sweet pictures of the two of them looking marvelous together, and then it was back for the ceremony and reception with beautiful floral arrangements and pops of peacock feathers from Candi’s Floral Creations. We especially loved Larissa & Gene’s table numbers, highlighting all of the live concerts they have experienced together (and we were a little jealous they got to see Sigur Ros, one of our favorite bands). We had the best time on their wedding day, and knowing we were able to help friends out at the same time, was a pretty win-win experience.

Larissa & Gene, we think you are both really cool, great people, and we hope the years to come continue to bring more incredible moments like we had the pleasure of photographing on your beautiful wedding day.
