One of our favorite places to photograph weddings in Connecticut happens to be at the Guilford Yacht Club, and we were delighted to find out when we met with Rebecca and Eddie that they were having their wedding there! They have such a wonderful, caring dynamic together which makes perfect sense as he is a doctor and she a nurse (right out of Grey’s Anatomy and totally adorable!), and we had some amazing opportunities to photograph them just as the sun was going down. Not only were they a blast to be with, but they had one of our favorite bridal parties ever. They pretty much had us cracking up from the time we got there to the last dances at the end of the night. We loved the hanging lanterns above the dance floor, and the blacks, whites and reds from the favors at the table to the beautiful flowers by A Floral Affair all tied together perfectly. We have a feeling that they are going to stay a totally hot and in love couple for quite a long time!

There was a big event on the east coast a little while back, something that a California boy like myself had never experienced (and still didn’t get to witness the true brunt of beside a downed tree in our backyard thank goodness), and had no idea what to expect. While Hurricane Irene never made as much of a mess as everyone was predicting, Vicki and I had a grand time distracting ourselves from the weather reports with the beautiful wedding of Jeannine and Wayne. They weren’t going to let mother nature get in the way of everything they had planned for their big day, and we couldn’t have been happier to spend the day photographing them! We even managed to go all the way through without any power outages, and had the opportunity for some quick portraits under umbrellas in between rain bursts. Jeannine looked to die for in her Paloma Blanca gown, and her Badgley Mischka shoes (like seriously hot), and Wayne accompanied her perfectly and looked dashing in his grey suit and blue & grey striped tie. While we may not have been able to see at times on a highway drive home that felt like taking the log flume ride at Disneyland while simultaneously going through a car wash, we wouldn’t haven chosen to spend the day any other way than cozily inside the Guilford Yacht Club with Jeanine & Wayne and all of their friends and family, watching one of the happiest days of their lives unfold. A total treat!

Jeannine & Wayne, thank you both for inviting us to be a part of your wedding, and we know that this is just the beginning of what is sure to be a long and happy life together

Our next couple, Jaimee and Erik contacted us to photograph their engagement session, and we were super pumped to hear that they wanted us to photograph them at Gouveia Vineyards in Wallingford. While we have never been there to taste wine, we have been there for photo shoots, and we absolutely love the location. In fact, this makes two posts in a row at vineyards – and we couldn’t have been happier to have them in front of our cameras in the evening sun with grapes hanging from the vines all around them . Vicki and I clicked with Jaimee and Erik right away, and we totally dug the chemistry they had – it made for some pretty hot photographs! We hope you enjoy looking at these pictures as much as we had taking them.

Jaimee + Erik, we loved spending the evening with you guys, and are pretty stoked you came to us for your engagement photos! Congratulations again on your engagement and upcoming wedding!

xoxo,
Erik & Vicki
