Allison & Bryan's Engagement Session

Yesterday Kathleen & I continued our fun weekend of shooting by spending time with Allison & Bryan for their engagement session. We photographed their session in downtown Fairfield and then went over to Sherwood Island State Park in Westport for some beach shots. It was so much fun photographing Allison & Bryan, here are some of the shots from the day. Also be sure to check back soon for some photos from the second engagement session we did yesterday. Happy Monday!!


Here is one of my favorite shots, the Amtrak Train was coming through while we were standing on the platform. I put a texture on this photo to give it a little something extra, I love how it feels.





I really love shooting against brick of any kind. I took this shot in the parking lot of the Fairfield Theater Company (FTC) right by the train station. A couple of months ago we had planned on shooting here for an engagement session, I am glad we finally did!


Another shot in front of one of the brick walls at the FTC, the colors are so much fun.




While walking around downtown we stopped at this GREAT coffee house called Las Vetas that Kathleen and I really like. It is one of those places that you don't see much anymore, so cozy and filled with furniture that doesn't match. It also has really great food and obviously coffee.


This coffee house is partly done in a Beatles' theme so when we saw the Imagine table we thought it would be a great place to photograph Allison & Bryan's hands and ring.



I really love the way Allison is looking at Bryan here, such a cute couple!


This is a shot that Kathleen took of me capturing Allison & Bryan in front of this really old movie theater.


Here is my shot.


It was low tide when we got to Sherwood Island which is so nice because there are so many colors and textures.



Long grass is awesome, and again the way that Allison & Bryan looked at each other was amazing.





Thank you Allison & Bryan for such a great time, we can't wait to spend your wedding day with you!!

Monique & Christopher's Wedding

Yesterday, it was a HOT day here in Connecticut but a perfect day for Monique & Christopher's Wedding!! They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the Grand Oak Villa in Oakville. Chris and Monique built this amazing wooden arbor for the ceremony. There were rose petals down the aisle and flower arrangements lining the white chairs. The bridemaids, the ring bearer and both Monique and Chris were wearing these really cool cowboy boots which made for some fun photos. We also took some couple shots of Monique and Chris in front of this lake where there were a couple of people jumping in off this huge rock. Also made for some really fun shots.

This wedding was also special for another reason, Kathleen (my wife and assistant) picked up a camera and grabbed a couple of shots. She captured a really great shot of the kiss from the side which I included below. Her shot is the second kiss shot, so be sure to check it out. I am so happy and proud to have Kathleen starting to shoot, she is really amazing!

We had such an awesome time, thank you to Monique & Chris for letting us be part of your day. Here are some of the photos!!


When we arrived at the house, I immediately saw Monique's vows written out, I just had to get a quick shot.


The dress shot only with available light hanging on the front door, the details on the dress were really beautiful.


Monique being walked down the aisle to her soon to be husband.




The rose petals down the aisle were really amazing.



I just had to capture a wide fisheye shot of the ceremony.


Such a great moment, Chris wiping the tears off of Monique's face during the vows.


My kiss shot.


Kathleen's kiss shot, so beautiful!!


Chris & Monique were nothing but smiles as they walked down the aisle after the ceremony.

A simple but great formal of the newlyweds, I love the green grass and the bright color of the wall, it works together so well.





Here is a fun formal of Chris and Monique, check out the people jumping off the rock into the lake.

During the first dance, the wedding party joined in and formed a circle around Monique & Chris right before they gave them a big group hug. Such a nice time!!

Today is Monique & Chris' Wedding Day!!

Today we are off to photograph Monique & Chris' Wedding day up at the Grand Oak Villa. It is going to be a hot one out there so make sure you stay cool. Check back in a couple days for photos from their day. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Album Spreads

Ok, so here are some of the album spreads from the recent wedding sample album that we put together. Danielle (among others) have been asking for us to put some spreads up, so here they are. Check back soon, we will be putting up some spreads from our Las Vegas Engagement Session.

Crazy Wedding Album!!

We just got in one crazy cool wedding album to add to our collection. We designed this as one of our wedding album samples. It is a Kambara 12x12 book with 26 spreads, it is huge which means a lot of full spread photos!! Here are a couple of photos of the album, check out the incredible detail of the leather, it is simply beautiful. If you would like to see more, come and flip through it at our studio!!

More Photos from Meredith & Reid's Wedding

We didn't have a wedding this weekend which gave me a chance to catch up on some other work and spend some time with family. I decided that since Meredith & Reid are very excited to get their photos, I would share a few more from their wedding last weekend. I hope you all enjoy!!
