There is nothing more exciting than Clients who “get” us. Our style…our vision. The first time I met Erin she was telling me about this amazing location in Collinsville, and how we would love it. She was right – the location was perfect! Not just for our style, but for theirs as well. When we arrived on Saturday the sky was spitting rain, but as if it knew we were cursing it, the rain stopped and gave us perfect light, for our perfect couple, at the perfect location.

I had to start with this one – even though it was one of the last photos from the day, it is my favorite!

We love bridges – especially old, rustic bridges like this.

They are really just adorable.

This one makes me happy.

We found a nice spot on the river.

Erik got this shot on a foot bridge (and was standing, dangerously, on the wrong side to get this shot!)

We love this shot – Joy!

It was just one incredible spot after another. Red is my favorite color!

Um, yeah. PERFECT!

Notice Rob is matching – a blue shirt with red underneath. I love how the shape of his red shirt looks like a heart.

They both have incredibly blue eyes!

Erik captured this accidentally on-purpose out of focus shot. Love it!

They fit together so nicely.

We drove a little to the reservoir and these steps were just too cool.

After being out of breath from walking up those stairs, it was worth it to see the reservoir.

Erik’s ring shot!

Erin and Rob we had so much fun with you! Thanks for sharing in our vision and trusting us along the way ; ) We can’t wait for your wedding in a few months!

Sunday was a misty, dreary day, which as photographers excites us a bit! The light is soft and diffused, and is perfect for even, glowing skin. Although if it rains too much is poses a bit of a challenge. Thank goodness the mist settled by the time we met Tyler and Ken, but the gorgeous light was still there. Perfect. This was the first time we met Tyler and Ken in person, which can be part of the fun of working with a couple from out of town. They live in Los Angeles, and from our phone and e-mail conversations we knew we had a few things in common – born and raised in CT and transplanted to California, and we share a love of Metallica, which told me all I need to know!! It was that much cooler meeting Tyler and Ken in person – to see first hand how they are each other’s best friend, and how they make each other laugh like no other couple I have ever seen. I can honestly say that just watching Tyler and Ken interact made Erik and I feel so calm – like we just wanted to observe these two incredible people. Together.

We met up at The Cobb’s Mill Inn in Weston, CT. This was a special place for Tyler because it was where her parents were married. I think Weston is one of the coolest towns in CT. And I was fascinated by the fact that The Cobb’s Mill Inn is one of the oldest buildings in the country.

We started off by the waterfall out back.

And walked around to the other side. As soon we walked over we found ourselves surrounded by ducks who were expecting to be fed.

Love this one Erik shot.

And then their personalities came out! LOVE LOVE LOVE these next two!

Love how they look at each other.

Too cute!

LOVE this one – isn’t she gorgeous?

Love this ring shot too ; )

The ducks were hovering, so Tyler and Ken joined their pack.

Cracking each other up ; )

Bringing a bit of fierceness!

To the bar inside for a beer!

Thank you Tyler and Ken for flying out here and meeting us. We had SO much fun with you both – your closeness and laughter inspired us! We can’t wait for more laughter and (some tears) at your wedding!!

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik

Kara and Andrew drove up from Virginia to meet with us for their engagement session. The plan was to meet at Sasco Beach in Fairfield at 9am on Sunday. Yes, I said 9 am! I am certainly not a morning person and need a lot of coffee to wake up. But when we got to the beach and I saw Kara and Andrew’s big smiles, and their adoring glances at one another, I was wide awake with excitement. It was raining quite a bit, so we shot for about 10 minutes at the beach before moving on to find some place dry.

I really loved the red in their umbrella – a nice color pop on this otherwise dreary day.

There are those smiles and adoring glances I was talking about!

We headed to the Fairfield Train Station for some shelter. This is my favorite shot of the day, courtesy of Erik.

We make our couples walk a lot ; )

How cute are they?

Love this one!

We were walking all over town and stopping at things that interested Erik and I. This is our favorite kind of shoot – so much variety.

Possibly my favorite ring shot ever:

I realized after the fact that this particular wall in front of the Fairfield Theater Company has been featured by many local photographers before. I think we shot it differently, and of course we had one hot couple in front of the wall!

I love piggy back ; )

Moving along to a little country style!

We really like this window and the blue curtains. They matched.

Love this shot of Kara

And one final umbrella shot!

Kara and Andrew thank you SO much for spending the morning with us! Andrew Andrew Andrew ; ) I won’t forget it. We are really looking forward to seeing you at your wedding in a couple of months.

xoxo
Vicki + Erik
