Yesterday Erik and I were shooting an engagement session in NYC and we happened to come across Dave Matthews – I think he was filming a video. We watched him walk through this cross walk a few times, and snapped some pictures of course! I know some of our clients are fans – so enjoy ; )
This is my favorite ; )
I know this may offend some of you….but I HAD to post it!! He was joking around with his video crew.
A little while back a friend of mine, the super talented Robin DIni, told me that she was pregnant! Along with this exciting news came the concern that she may not be able to photograph Kate + Erick’s wedding in the fall. Robin asked me to step in for her (and the couple agreed), and I gladly obliged. I know Robin was bummed that her due date fell so close to their big day, and after meeting the couple I know why! These two are incredibly sweet, laid back, and SO in love. I am really excited for their wedding and honored I get to be a part of it – along with the amazing Julia of Salty Grapes Photography. We are going to have a blast!
This past weekend Robin, Julia and I met up with Kate and Erick at Carriage Stone Farm in Northford, CT. What a cool find by Robin!
Robin’s father drove this tractor over for our use ; )
Aren’t they too cute?
I love spring (even though it was more like summer with the 90 degree weather!)
Kate is so beautiful!
The sky was so blue.
I love this silhouette.
We had been told that one of the horses is a biter, although we weren’t sure which one. Therefore, Kate and Erick were slightly nervous about standing near this horse, but they did it anyway, and look pretty relaxed I think!
; )
We think this may be the horse that bites!
These stone blocks were calling to us.
This one makes me happy.
Relaxing in the warm sun.
I was really loving the texture and pattern of these blocks. And Kate and Erick are not so bad themselves ; )
Love it!
My favorite of the day – I love the reflection of the clouds in the window.
They are one awesome couple!
Thank you Robin for asking me to be a part of this and thank you Kate and Erick!! I had so much fun with you guys, and I am really excited to photograph your wedding along with Julia!!
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.

Bridget’s Bouquet was stunning!

Putting on the dress.

We love this shot of Bridget’s Mom putting on her garter. I love that Bridget’s dog is helping out too!
A portrait with her dogs.
Bridget was looking incredible!
And the dress was so perfect.

Erik captured this amazing shot of Bridget getting out of the car. This driver was so helpful and kind all day!
Bridget flashing Paulo her incredible smile while walking down the aisle.
Paulo was so excited!
Almost married!
Erik’s view of the kiss!
Husband + Wife (My view)
Off to Twin Brooks Park in Trumbull, CT for some portraits.
The light was killer!! I love this image that Erik captured.
We love this classic portrait with the car.
Working the reflection! This red tree made it almost feel like fall.
The light doesn’t get much better than this ; )
Some details at The Waterview:
Cake!
I totally cried during the first dance ; )
; )
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.
Bridget + Paulo thank you SO much for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day! We hope you have an amazing honeymoon in Hawaii and we can’t wait to see some pictures!
xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
