Vicki + Erik in NYC!

April 21st, 2009

As photographers Erik and I have very few images of ourselves – especially together. The last photos we have together is from our Wedding Day. You may remember a little while back the session we did with Robert & Kathleen Photographers down in West Palm Beach, FL. Well it was our turn! For those of you who really know us also know that Erik and I don’t like being on the other side of the camera that much. It was an awesome experience though – Rob and Kathleen are great friends of ours, and there is no one else we would rather have taking our pictures ; ) Here is a sneak peek from our session in NYC. Be sure to check out their blog to see the rest!


Thanks again Rob & Kathleen! We are so happy with the images, and we had such a great time with you both!!

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik

Meaghan + Karthik – Shelton, CT Engagement Session photos

April 19th, 2009

When we met with Karthik for the first time a few months back and he explained how they got engaged, our mouths dropped. It is, by far, the coolest proposal story we have ever heard. I won’t do it justice by repeating it in full here, but let’s just say it was a very well prepared and executed day-long scavenger hunt. Karthik sent Meaghan from one place to the next with elaborate clues, concluding with his proposal. And of course, Meaghan said yes! They drove down from Boston to meet us at one of our favorite location in Shelton, CT. The rain stopped just as we started to shoot!

Love the perspective in this one.

Meaghan and Karthik thank you so much for driving down and hanging out with us! We had so much fun with you both – you cracked us up the whole time, and made us love our job even more. Looking forward to your wedding!

PS I kept all the images in color for you ; )

Laura + Justin – Boston, MA Engagement Session Photos

April 13th, 2009

Spring finally arrived and Erik and I took a trip to beautiful Boston, MA to spend the afternoon with our new friends! Laura and Justin told us that one of the reasons why they chose us as their wedding photographers is that they felt like they were hanging out with old friends the night of our initial meeting. We certainly felt the same way, and we felt like we picked up where we left off – the fun continued walking around the Boston Common and beyond. Justin is friendly and funny, and works more / sleeps less than I do. He certainly twitters more than anyone I know ; ) Laura is sweet and down-to-earth, and although she claims she is not photogenic, we beg to differ! Here are some of our favorite images from our afternoon together.

First blooms of spring.

We walked down the street a bit to find some fun spots and take advantage of some of Boston’s architecture.

It happens every time – when we first meet up with a couple they tell us how uncomfortable they are in front of the camera. I think they look comfortable ; )
