Jessica + Sean – Waterview, Monroe, CT Wedding

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

We have been looking forward to Jessie + Sean’s wedding since we first met them. You may remember them from their engagement session back in January. Jessie’s joy and laughter emanate from her stronger than anyone I have ever met. She was full of smiles and laughter for her entire wedding day. Sean is warm and genuine, and an honest to goodness gentleman. Together they are a force to be reckoned with. What God has joined together let no man put asunder.

Chapel: Our Lady of the Rosary Monroe, CT
Venue: Waterview, Monroe, CT
DJ: Kirk Michaels, Sound Investment DJ Service
Flowers: Flowers By Danielle Monroe, CT

This is how the guys get ready. Erik captured this killer shot! Sean is wielding one of his brothers pellet guns. He was feeling a bit James Bond in his tux.

Bridget + Paulo – Waterview, Monroe, CT Wedding

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I knew the first time I met Bridget and Paulo that they were one of those rare couples – the love just radiates between them. Saturday was an incredible day – sunny skies and 85 degrees. One of the most gorgeous April days we have ever witnessed. It was made even more perfect as Erik and I were able to witness the marriage of Bridget and Paulo.

Church: St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, Bridgeport, CT
Venue: Waterview, Monroe, CT
Videography: Star Quality Video
DJ: Music in Motion

Bridget’s Bouquet was stunning!

I just had to post this last one – makes me smile every time I see it. Paulo accidentally got a bit of cake on Bridget’s nose when he was feeding her.
