Dorothy + Kevin – Riverview, Simsbury, CT Wedding (Part I)

July 22nd, 2009

Well we made it back from a relaxing vacation and we have been trying desperately to get back on track! We are getting caught up finally and I have been dying to get these images ready for the blog for a while. I have been stressing (for days) over narrowing down these images to a reasonable amount, and well, I just couldn’t bear to leave any more out. Dorothy and Kevin’s awesomeness could not be contained to one post – so I have broken it into two parts. Enjoy!

Church: Holy Cross Church, New Britain, CT
Venue: Riverview, Simsbury, CT
Cake: Mozzicato de Pasquale
Video: Video Images, North Haven, CT
DJ: Jock in the Box

Love this shot Erik captured. It reminds me of Italy for some reason. Maybe I need to go there to investigate ; )

Melissa + Travis – Collinsville, CT Engagement Session Photos

July 18th, 2009

Melissa + Travis = lots of laughs! They had Erik & I smiling all afternoon – even through the rain. Yeah, these two fit like peas and carrots for sure.

I was liking the “love” graffiti behind them on the bridge.

We had to jump a fence for these next few.

Another fav! The green algae on this lake was so intense because of the dim, rainy weather.

And the rain began.

Out of Town – July 5 – July 15, 2009

July 5th, 2009

Hi Everyone,

We wanted to let you know we will be out of town visiting our family in Placerville, CA, as well as visiting some friends in San Francisco from Sunday July 5th through Wednesday July 15th. We will be checking e-mail, but it may take a day or two to respond. Our cellular access will be limited as well. In any case, I hope the rain stays away for you all while we are away! Have a great 10 days!

And to remind you of where we are going…this was taken on our last visit in November near Lake Tahoe, CA.
