Amanda + Will – Fox Hill Inn, Brookfield, CT Wedding Photos

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Amanda and Will got married! They are both teachers, and they possess a charming and down to earth quality that is a pleasure to be around. We truly felt relaxed and comfortable around them, and their friends and family as well. It was such a special day and we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of it!

Venue: Fox HIll Inn, Brookfield, CT
Flowers: Bob Sabia, Irene’s Flower Shop
Ceremony Musician: Kathy Schiano, Millennium Music
DJ: Kirk Michaels, Sound Investment DJ Service

One of our favorite things about the Fox Hill Inn, is the abundance of mirrors! It made it very easy to showcase a wedding gown as beautiful as Amanda’s.

Christine + Thomas – Stamford Yacht Club, Stamford, CT Wedding Photos

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Hilarious. Gorgeous. Captivating. Passionate. These are just a few of the words we could use to describe Christine & Thomas on their wedding day. Erik and I arrived at Christine’s parent’s house Saturday afternoon, ready to have an amazing day. Our engagement session with these two was a blast, and the way that Christine and Thomas play off of each other is terrific. We weren’t disappointed to be sure, and it turned out that everyone – from their friends to their families, were as joyful and emotional as Christine and Thomas are. It was, in a word, awesome!

Venue: Stamford Yacht Club
Church: Notre Dame Church, Easton, CT
Flowers: Gary Z
Cake: Angelia Mia
Videographer: Light Mill Film Studios

Erin + Rob – Avon Old Farms Hotel, Avon CT Wedding

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

When I met Erin and her Mom way back when, Erin’s Mom shed a few tears while looking at our sample albums. I knew I wanted to shoot the wedding! Of course I love to think our work captures the emotion of a wedding day, and translates to it’s viewers, but I also know that a big part of why Mom was crying was because she was envisioning her beautiful daughter being in her wedding gown. I know I have said this before, but I am a super emotional person. I fall in love with all the couples (and their families) we are privileged to work with, and I cry at least once at every wedding. When I meet people as emotional as I am they instantly feel like family. Erin and Rob are both extraordinary people, with families as awesome as they are – warm, sensitive, intelligent and welcoming. Erik and I had such an amazing time capturing their perfect wedding day! Be prepared for copious tears of joy!!

Venue: Avon Old Farms Hotel, Avon, CT
Church: St Patrick’s Church, Collinsville, CT
Flowers: Lynn Levvesque, Bouquet Boutique, Unionville, CT
Cake: Classic Cakes, West Hartford, CT
