Hi everyone! It has been a while since we have blogged – this is the first post of 2010. We have many great things in the works and some big announcements to make soon. For now, Erik and I wanted to thank all of our amazing brides and grooms from 2009. We had an incredible year with you and feel so honored to have been a part of your wedding day! We also want to thank you for saying great things about us to WeddingWire, as we were recently selected to receive the WeddingWire 2010 Bride’s Choice Awardsâ„¢ for Photography.

From WeddingWire:

We are happy to announce that Victoria Souza Photography is among the very best Photographers within the WeddingWire Network, which includes WeddingWire and Martha Stewart Weddings.”

It has truly been an incredible year for us, and it is hard to believe that this is our last wedding of 2009. There have been so many amazing moments, shared with some of the greatest people we know, and we are very excited to end our wedding season with Julia and Tom! These two had Erik and I, and our good friend and fellow photographer Robert Norman who joined us for the day, laughing all day long. The humor and joy they share is incredibly infectious . It may have been a chilly November day, yet you wouldn’t know it by how incredible these two look together. The paper details at the reception, all designed by the talented Adrienne Craig of Admire Design, were some of the coolest and most original we have seen, and every other detail followed suit to perfection. It was simply, a fantastic day spent with awesome people.

Julia and Tom, we love you guys, and we feel blessed to know you and have had the chance to be with you on your wedding day. We are sure you brought the same laughter to those around you on your honeymoon (which we are sure was fabulous!), and we wish you the best not only for the upcoming holidays, but for all of your many years to come

xoxo,
Vicki and Erik

Kate and Rich’s wedding was incredible! From the beautiful Shrine of Saint Anne church, to the cool lines of the spiral staircase at Miss Porter’s School, culminating at the impressive Farmington Club, these two had a perfect day filled with joy and laughter. We love Rich’s sense of humor (take a look at the picture that begins their formal portraits to see what we mean), and Kate is sweet, and gorgeous, as well. Rich’s father / best man speech had us in stitches, and practically every person at the reception was on the dance floor throughout the night. It was an amazing day, and we left with smiles on our faces.

Kate and Rich, it was a pleasure to spend the day with the two of you, and your wonderful friends and families. We hope these images bring you as much joy and happiness as we had being there, taking them

xoxo,
Vicki and Erik
