Yohana + Pat – New Canaan, CT Wedding Photos

August 24th, 2009

Erik and I had so much fun with Yohana and Pat on their wedding day. They were married in a beautiful church, surrounded by their amazing family and friends. Many of Yohana’s family members traveled from her home of Venezuela, and I got to practice my spanish. Well, I think I said one or two words – “Aqui” was a big hit during family photos ; ) Seriously though, the reception was held at a friend’s home and everything was perfect. Especially Yohana + Pat.

Church: St Aloysius Roman Catholic Church, New Canaan, CT
Venue: Private Residence, New Canaan, CT
DJ: Steve Schneider, Music by Design

Yohana wore an incredible Carolina Herrera Gown, and these gorgeous Stuart Weitzman shoes!

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

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
