One of the coolest things about our jobs is that we get so many referrals from happy couples whose weddings and portraits we have shot. The best part is not only do our new couples have peace of mind that they are going to have an amazing experience with us, but also that we already have a connection before the first click of the shutter . Lindsay & Keith are no different, and were sent to us by our friends Kristin & Chris (who we love and adore!). We couldn’t have been happier the first time we met with them as they are not only a gorgeous couple, but also really great people to be around – sweet , funny and down to earth.

We spent the afternoon with them at Binney Park and Tod’s point in Greenwich, and the results are pretty beautiful! They were even ready and willing when we asked them to lie down in a giant bed of white sea shells for some of the shots – how great is that?

Lindsay & Keith, we can’t wait to see you both in less than a month and are truly excited to photograph your big day!

What’s better than a gorgeous afternoon spent with a fun, attractive couple at Weir Farm in Wilton, CT? Yellow balloons and shoes! Weir Farm is one of our favorite spots for portrait sessions, and it is easy to see why – beautiful glowy sunlight, grassy fields, stone walls and majestic oak trees. We had an absolute blast with Trista & Brian, and loved that she wanted to bring yellow balloons to the shoot as props, that matched her adorable yellow shoes perfectly . We loved how they interacted together – they were laughing and smiling the entire time.

One of the most memorable moments of the day was when Brian informed us that his smile looks the best if he says “whiskey!” at the same time, and we couldn’t agree more – it really did look perfect. While there may have been some very slight eye rolling by Trista when we were made privy to this information, it made both of them laugh every time we said “whiskey!”. So much so that we use the story from time to time to get our other couples to smile and laugh, even throwing in a rogue “whiskey!” later on in the day as a happy little surprise. Certainly better than “say cheese!” we think

Trista & Brian, you guys are a hot couple, and we can’t wait to see you both again on your wedding day for some more of the magic!

One of my favorite parts of being a “west coast transplant” in Connecticut is that I have the perfect tour guide in my wife Vicki. It is always fascinating to hear her stories about growing up and her experiences pertaining to the areas we visit, whether for pleasure or photo shoots (which are pretty much one and the same). And if you know Vicki, she loves to tell a good story if you give her half the chance .

How does this relate to our next blog post you might ask? Well for starters, the locations we photographed Pam & Frank have particular significance for Vicki and her family. Lighthouse Park is a stones throw away from where she used to spend weekends with her grandmother (who used to treat her with steak sandwiches even though she was on a fixed income), and Yale Campus has three giant, handcrafted wood doors that were built by her great grandfather. Pretty cool huh?

So when we followed Pam & Frank around for their really adorable engagement session, we were also surrounded by a little bit of history, and a whole lot of magic. Pam & Frank fit together like two peas in a pod, and it is hard not to become completely enamored with them if you spend even just a little bit of time with them. We had them climbing up walls, tiptoeing through ivy, and braving the cold water of the Sound to get our shots, and they were about as gracious as you could get throughout the entire shoot. We had the best time, and can’t wait to get together with them on their wedding day!

Pam & Frank, thanks for being so great to hang out with and photograph – see you guys soon!

xoxo,

Vicki + Erik
