Sandra & Kevin's Wedding

After what was a crazy roller coaster ride this week weather-wise, this weekend turned out to be absolutely beautiful. Just in time for Sandra & Kevin's wedding. They had a beautiful day. They are originally from the CT area but have been living on the west coast. They came all the way cross-country to get married out here.

Their wedding was in Simsbury and we shot the formal photography at the Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge. They were a fun group, my second shooter Sue and I had an great time capturing their special moments. Here are some of the photos from the day.

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.

Amanda & Brad's Engagement Session

The second engagement session that I had on Sunday brought me to the White Plains area of New York. Amanda & Brad decided to have their engagement photography session at Kensico Dam Plaza. This was truly a unique place, I had such a great time shooting pictures of this great couple. The dam along with the bright blue sky made a really nice back drop although I did keep thinking how much water was behind that massive dam. Towards the end of the session we drove up to the other side and walked down by the lake to get a couple more shots. Here are just some from this session, enjoy!!

Melinda & Erin's Engagement

On Sunday I had the awesome pleasure of working with two different couples for their engagement sessions. October is a beautiful month for photography because of the changing foliage and the beautiful fall tones so it is no wonder that so many couples take advantage of this time.

My first session was with Melinda & Erin who are actually getting married in January. They were looking for a nice location for their engagement session that would bring them into nature. We went to the Cascades in Fairfield where we walked through the woods and by the flowing water. Many people walk their dogs at the Cascades so it was a good thing that both Melinda and Erin are both avid dog (and cat) lovers. After capturing the photos at the Cascades we went over to nearby Lake Mohegan to get a couple more shots. Here are some of the pics from the day.

Arin & Christopher's Wedding

Yesterday was Arin & Christopher's wedding and boy did they have a beautiful day. The weather was gorgeous and the wedding was so nice. My second shooter Vicki spent the day shooting with me and we got some really nice shots.

I worked with Arin & Chris back on their engagement session in June which was incredibly fun. It was really nice to spend their wedding day with them. The wedding ceremony took place at Saint Augustine's Cathedral in Bridgeport and the Reception at the Stone Barn at the Whitney Farms Country Club in Monroe. The reception was certainly a fun party, especially when Arin decided to join in on the limbo. Arin & Chris were so happy and it really shows. Enjoy!!

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.
