Lindsay + Keith – The Society Room, Hartford, CT Wedding Photos

Wednesday, August 29th, 2012

The Society Room in Hartford is truly a spectacular place for a wedding ceremony and reception. With the iconic wooden doors that open into the unique ballroom with it’s ornately detailed ceiling accompanied by the bank vault, it is in a league of it’s own, and the perfect setting for Lindsay and Keith’s big day. We knew from their engagement session that they were going to bring the hotness, and they certainly didn’t disappoint! It was all so beautiful and elegant, not unlike the two of them :) .

Stephanie + Ryan – Waterview, Monroe, CT Wedding Photos

Friday, August 17th, 2012

We cry at weddings. Not in the blubbering, can’t-catch-your-breath kind of way (we still have to be able to see through the view finder after all), but in the choked up, misty eyed, heart swelling kind of way. Stephanie & Ryan’s wedding had no shortage of tears (both theirs and ours), and it makes for the moments that we live for. People sometimes say “I hope I don’t cry during the ceremony”, and when we tell them it makes for great photos they might give us quizzical looks. The emotional moments are the ones that will still resonate long after the wedding day has come and gone, and while they are the ones that we all might be a little embarrassed about when they are happening, it truly makes for great story telling – the kind that all of our grandchildren will instantly recognize and appreciate.

Clients + Friends

Thursday, August 16th, 2012

Vicki and I often get asked “So do you guys only shoot weddings?”. Our answer is that while weddings are our primary focus, and truly do keep us more than busy (a quick estimate of 40,000 delivered wedding photos per year), we enjoy all types of photography :) . One great thing about what we do is being able to chronicle the various stages in our couples lives through photography. People come to us as clients, and we end up being friends because of these shared experiences. Case in point, Amaris and Brendan who hired us to photograph their engagement, wedding, “wear it again“, and recently, family session. It gets us all misty to look back over four years ago and see where we started with them, all the way up to now with the newest addition to their family, Manny (who couldn’t be any more adorable and truly is the best of both his parents). It’s a great feeling to do what you love for your livelihood, all while getting to know great people better, and watching them thrive!
