Happy 2012! We have been traveling quite a bit the past couple of months, and haven’t posted much on the blog lately. We have many posts to come – more press and a magazine publication, as well as a bunch of new work to share with you. We also have some big announcements coming this year…but first, we are so happy to find out that we won the WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards 2012!
This is the third year in a row. The award means that we are in the top 5% of wedding professionals nationwide. The winners are chosen soley by reviews from real Brides + Grooms. We want to thank everyone who posted a review and voted for us on the site.

When everything about the wedding day is said and done, the luggage is put away from the honeymoon, the thank you cards are in the mail, and the hum from everyday life begins to noisily drown out the buzz and excitement from all that preceded it, you might think that all would be left were the memories and the photographs. But not necessarily so! Sometimes all you need is an excuse to put the wedding gown back on, to wear the shoes you got from the honeymoon in Paris, and to get back in front of the camera for more pictures. Such is the case with Melissa & Brian, and their Wear It Again! session with us. When we heard that they wanted to hang out with us we jumped at the chance – we love the courtyards and magnificent architecture in New Haven in and around the Yale campus, and coupled with some of the shot ideas they had for us we knew we were going to have a blast. How great is it to have a bride sloshing around in a fountain in big rubber boots?

Melissa & Brian, we loved hanging out with you guys and hearing all about your honeymoon and getting the chance to make your ideas come to life (with so many more to come in your gallery!). Thanks for spending the evening with us

xoxo,
Vicki & Erik

Vicki and I have known Jessie & Sean for quite some time, having shot their engagement session (which you may have also seen in our sample leather guest book if you have met with us recently), and their wonderful wedding. The one person we hadn’t met yet is their adorable new addition to their family, Matthew! And what a cutie he is . Vicki and I had such a great time catching up with Jessie & Sean and their family, and taking pictures of Matthew rolling around naked (what’s better than a naked baby?). We loved that Sean had brought his fire fighter’s helmet and jacket to use as props (Sean is a firefighter with the Westport fire department), and Matthew loved chilling out on his Dad’s work clothes. We also couldn’t get enough of Jessie’s grandparents, and Jessie’s grandmother didn’t want to let Matthew go for any photos – we all love baby Matthew it seems!

Jessie & Sean, there wasn’t any doubt that the two of you would have such an adorable, happy baby, and we feel so privileged that we got to be the ones to take your photos!

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
