Ricky & Jessica – Niantic Wedding

Friday, October 2, 2009 Posted in Wedding Photography

When I started days ago picking the pics for this post I had narrowed them down to ONLY 52 images. Needless to say, I have had a VERY hard time making decisions about which pics to put up. I just love so many images from this wedding! I’m very grateful to Taryn Allison for assisting me at this wedding. She had so many wonderful images I included some of hers in the post as well. She has a major creative vibe and I love seeing the way her eye captured the day.
I just love documenting weddings. It brings me back to when I was a photojournalist in the newspaper industry in NY. It was like being a fly on the wall – letting the events unfold in front of me and capturing them as they happen. Nothing forced, nothing posed. My favorite way to see things as a photographer. The images tell the story. And let me just say….these images are speaking to me! I’m going to let them do the talking about this absolutely beautiful day!

I love this series of cake pics:
Ricky is looking towards everyone – wondering what’s coming, he takes his first bite, thinks everything is fine – then Jessica smears it on his face. I love the look on her face after because she’s waiting to see if he retaliates!

At Last….

Thursday, August 13, 2009 Posted in Wedding Photography

I have known Ali since I first moved to Connecticut. She was the first friend that I made – she was the loving neighbor who came over to say “hi” and brought some cookies and flowers! We got to share being pregnant with our first children at the same time. She was a HUGE supporter of me when I started up my photography business, and still is. The one thing (but not the only thing!) I can tell you without a doubt is how GIVING of a person she is! Needless to say, I was more than happy when she asked me to be her wedding photographer. Of course, she just wanted me to take a few pics here and there and then have a nice time at the reception. I had a GREAT time on her wedding day and certainly took more than just a “few pics” like she asked.

We started the day out with some mimosas and a light lunch. Then Ali got ready and we headed to Wickham Park in Manchester to meet Aaron and do some Bride and Groom portraits before an evening wedding and reception at the Mill on The River in South Windsor. I just LOVE when the bride and groom decide to meet before the ceremony. It’s so intimate and romantic. They had a beautiful moment seeing each other for the first time and whispering in each other’s ear. (there’s me, wiping the tears in my eyes again!). The entire day exuded such LOVE and JOY that I don’t think I could wipe the smile off my face until long after I had left them. I had the HARDEST time narrowing down a few choices for this blog entry! So excuse the long post…..

I was thinking, it would be AWESOME to get this same shot on the day Abbey (Ali’s daughter) is getting ready for her own wedding!!

And I have to say… Shaun earned a game ball (his terminology, not mine) for the way he was all over the ceremony with his favorite 70-200mm lens!  These next few are all his.

Shelagh & Matt Wedding.. Mystic Seaport, Connecticut

Thursday, August 6, 2009 Posted in Wedding Photography

Matt & Shelah’s story began 15 months ago when they found each other (thank goodness for the digital age we live in!) and they found love! They had a beautiful wedding in Mystic Ct. followed by a wonderful reception at Mystic Seaport. The whole day was full of beautiful moments and the weather was perfect. I could go on and on but I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Shelagh had a STUNNING dress! It fit her like a glove

How many receptions do you go to and get candy? They put out an array of candies after dinner for their guests to enjoy – a selection of all their favorites and even had little bags for them to fill and take home. (Also, little side note, they ordered a guest book of their engagement pics for people to sign. And I must say, it turned out beautiful!)

Shelagh and her dad didn’t have a classic “Father/Daughter dance”. This was waaaay more fun

Luis & Susan's Wedding

Tuesday, July 21, 2009 Posted in Wedding Photography

Sue & Luis have a fairytale kind of love. The kind of fairytale you’d like to read over and over because it has such a happy ending. They had a beautiful wedding day. There were many tears (of joy!) and a very fun bridal party. And I just have to say that Susan had the most GORGEOUS wedding dress I’ve ever seen. (And I won’t spill the beans on what she paid for it…..but it was the best deal I’ve ever heard of!) And she looked stunning in it.

This moment choked me up…on the way to the church Sue’s mom reached over and kissed her on the hand

They had a Playbill – it had headshots of all the key people in the wedding and a description of them as well. So cool.

My favorite of the day – compliments of Shaun

They had an emotional first glance at each other.

Mike & Michelle's Wedding

Sunday, July 19, 2009 Posted in Wedding Photography

Michelle & Mike HAVE to be two of the most fun-lov’in people I’ve ever met. And I’m not the only one who feels this way – that’s for sure! They were surrounded by all their family and friends – and it was hard not to breathe in the love that was felt towards them by all. Their day couldn’t have been more perfect. They started the afternoon with a ceremony at St. Patrick’s Church in Farmington, then headed to Simsbury for a BEAUTIFUL tree ceremony, and then off to the Riverview for a PARTY!! (I don’t think I’ve ever been to a wedding where the dance floor was so FULL of people all night long!) I heard 3 of the most wonderful toasts. All of which made me tear up. (Very difficult to look through wet, teary eyes while taking pics!) Mike & Michelle were soo gracious and thoughtful towards us on THEIR wedding day. We are truly lucky to have been chosen to share their day with them. And (not naming any names) but I’m totally over the broken glass/spilled beer all over my pant leg. No worries, it’s all part of the fun :)

This necklace is a family heirloom from Ireland

I love this one! You can tell she’s so bored with the picture thing

It was adorable- Michelle’s dad was holding onto the back of her dress so it wouldn’t drag on the ground before they entered the church

Shaun caught Mike’s first glimpse of Michelle as she entered the church – I love the look on his face!

It was so sweet – at the end of the night Mike was rubbing Michelle’s tired feet.

Michelle told us when they went to the jewelers to get their wedding bands the jeweler told Mike he had “mitts” for hands – because his ring size was so big. Compared to hers, I’d say so.
