Deja & Jeremy's Slideshow

I was going through some things and realized that I never made a slideshow for Deja & Jeremy in which we photographed out in Malibu in March. So although a little late, here is Deja & Jeremy's slideshow. Enjoy!

Melissa & Matthew's Malibu Engagement Slideshow

I am a little slideshow happy today, two in one hour, not too bad. Here is Melissa & Matthew's slideshow from their engagement session in Malibu.

Katie & Jeff's Vegas Engagement Slideshow

I have been SO backed up, but I am very happy to be getting caught up on all of our projects and albums and so on. I know I haven't blogged in a couple of days and for that I apologize :). Here is Katie & Jeff's Slideshow from their engagement session in Vegas. HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!

Destinations Destinations Destinations

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to take a second to let you all know about some new and really awesome things that I will be offering right away!! So here we go: As appealing as a destination wedding is, it's not always something that is possible for every couple. For couples that would like to get married at home but still have that destination feel, we have several new and very exciting options:

Destination Engagement Sessions
Take me with you to your favorite place to create some great memories and incredible images. Use the images to add something different to your wedding reception decor or to have a one-of-a-kind engagement album. For samples, check out our recent Las Vegas & Malibu engagement sessions.

Destination Bridal Sessions
This is perfect for brides that want those glamorous magazine images, but don't want to cut into the schedule of the wedding day itself. In these laid back sessions, time restraints won't hold you back. You can put on your wedding gown prior to the big day and go to some place special for you. You could even put on a different gown to have a completely different look.

If you choose to do a bridal session after the wedding day, some daring brides might enjoy a "trash the dress" session. In those sessions you could go to the beach, jump in a pool, run in a field, roll around in mud and get as messy as you want with no worries. For samples see our New York City bridal session, and our Malibu, Califormia session (where a bride actually did jump into the pool!). These sessions are a blast!

Honeymoon Sessions
Too often couples come home from their honeymoon and realize that they only have a handful of pictures with both of them in it, usually taken by a passerby. Why not have me meet you there? In this one-day session I can capture the two of you laid back, relaxing in paradise. Bring a casual white dress and flips flops or whatever you would like. What better way to end your wedding album or to simply capture some awesome photos from your honeymoon?

So what are you waiting for? Give me a call or shoot me and e-mail and let's go take some incredible photos at some amazing places. Oh and of course if you are interested in a destination wedding we do that too!!

Additional Melissa & Matthew Engagement Photos from Malibu

I have been using tonight to catch up on some more of my blogging. So here a few more photos from Melissa & Matthew's engagement session in Malibu. What a great time I had shooting on the west coast.

And again Happy Easter!!

More Photos of Deja & Jeremy in Malibu

So we are back from Vegas and California and the weather was definitely much better out there. I wanted to remember how nice it was so I decided to share some additional photos from Deja & Jeremy's day. Enjoy!!

Melissa & Matthew's Pacific Coast Engagement Session

On Saturday while in California I also got to photography Matthew & Melissa's Engagement session. They both live in San Diego but are getting married in Connecticut. Since we were going to be out in California anyways it made sense that I photograph their engagement session while there. We went to a couple place along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. The weather was really nice, just a little windy. Kathleen & I had a great time with them. Here are some of the photos from their session.

A Malibu Wedding at a Hollywood TV House!!

Yesterday Kathleen & I flew out to CA to photograph an awesome wedding formal session in Malibu. I had the incredible pleasure of photographing the session at a house that is used for Hollywood TV shows. It is an absouteley beautiful spanish style house with an infiniti pool in the back and balcony's galore. We had full access to the entire house and grounds. Deja & Jeremy were awesome to work with. Jeremy actually does Television production work and Deja has played parts in such shows as "CSI Miami" among others.

Here are just a few photos from the session, I will post many more when we get to CT. Be sure to take a look at the last one, it's a fun one. I hope you enjoy, I am off to my WPPI sessions. Talk to you all soon!!

Katie & Jeff's Vegas Engagement (...a little preview)

Today Kathleen & I spent the morning with Katie & Jeff so I could photograph their engagement session. Jeff, Katie and I all went to the same highschool so it was fun meeting up with them. Never in highschool did we have any idea that I would be photographing their wedding. Pretty cool!! Anyways, Kathleen and I are out here for WPPI and Katie and Jeff just happen to be Vegas fanatics so it is the perfect place for their engagement photos.. We started off the day at the Neon Museum Boneyard (where all the Vegas signs go after they are no longer used). They have these great signs dating back 40 years. It was certainly a pleasure to photograph there and all of us had a ton of fun!! I am so thankful that are project request to shoot there got approved. We also went to the Vegas Welcome Sign as well as various places along the strip.

Here are just a few from this morning, I will have many more when we get back to CT. ENJOY!!

Vegas & Southern California Here We Come!! (3/13 - 3/19)

I just wanted to drop you all a quick note (for those of you who don't know) that Kathleen and I are going out to Vegas for the annual WPPI Convention. Before WPPI starts I will be photographing Jeff & Katie's engagement session all around Vegas and then heading out to Southern CA to shoot a wedding formal session and then Matt & Melissa's engagement session afterwards . I will make sure I post some photos as soon as I get a chance.

Anyways we are heading out tomorrow (Thursday 3/13) and returning on (Wednesday 3/19). I will be returning all e-mails and voicemails when we return. I hope everyone has a great week and weekend. Remember if you are going to be out in Vegas, give me a call and we can meet up!!

Valarie & Patrick's Engagement Session

Today I got to photograph Valarie & Patrick for their engagement session. It has always been very important to me to help make a couple's engagement and wedding very special. One way that I do that is to go on location for their engagement session to the place or places that the couple chooses.

Valarie & Patrick chose to go to Patrick's old high school in Vermont, Vermont Academy. This high school campus is absolutely beautiful and the mix of sun and colorful fall foliage made for a fantastic backdrop for their pictures. It was truly worth the drive. Patrick and Valarie spent their very second date at the academy on the ski jump that they have on the grounds, needless to say this was a very special place to both of them.

I had a great time photographing and getting to know Patrick and Valarie. Here are some of the shots from the day.

Monique & Chris' Engagement Session

It has certainly been a very busy weekend, but that being said it has been incredibly fun as well!! I had 3 engagement sessions and one wedding. My first engagement session was on Friday with Monique and Chris. They chose to go to Bushkill Falls in PA for their session. They have spent a lot of time at the falls and it has become a place that is very special to them.

While making the drive out to PA, it rained like I had not seen before. I thought for sure that we were going to have to re-schedule their photo shoot for a drier day. As soon as I got off the exit, like magic the clouds went away and the sun came out. It was great!! I spent a few hours with Monique and Chris hiking the trail that lead us through the falls and catching some great shots of the two of them. We walked or should I say climbed over 1200 stairs. What a workout. It was so great to get to know Monique and Chris better and good to see such a cool place. Here are some of the photos from their day.
