I shot Tony’s sister’s wedding a couple years ago. So when Caitrin and Tony came to see me about their wedding I was so excited to get to have the opportunity to be part of another one of their family’s most memorable moments in life. Tony and Caitrin are a great couple and a lot of fun! They got married at the Saybrook Point Inn in Old Saybrook CT. It was a beautiful day! Here are a bunch of my favorites from the day!!!
Her dress was simple and elegant…LOVED it!
the flowers:
Tony and his sister I photographed a couple years ago, Jolene!
rings…
walkin’ the aisle!
they poured sand in a bottle together instead of the usual unity candle…
I LOVE shooting details!
first dance…
a traditional toast made for Tony’s late father, who was with them that night in spirit!
I am so happy for Tony and Caitrin and the rest of the Piscetello family!
Happy Thursday!

Someone has asked me about my off camera lighting set up that I use for receptions so this post is about just that!
First off, I by no means can take any credit in thinking up the idea…as it is something that I had researched from other’s blogs and talked about with some local photographers from time and time again. Finally I am putting it to use. I originally noticed the lighting on Jessica Claire’s blog last year and she had posted a whole entry on how she sets it up…so to alleviate you the pain of researching it yourself in her older posts…I will just relay what I do in this post…
You will need 2 Pocket Wizards…yes there are cheaper versions out there…but seriously, if you go cheap you get cheap and when you are working a wedding where clients are paying you, you need the good stuff! So Pocket Wizards are reliable and just down right cool.
Then you will need a second flash (always good to have backup!) and set the flash to manual…
I use an Impact lightstand with an extra small Photoflex Soft Box on it to diffuse the light. (can buy it as a kit at BandH for pretty cheap…the pocket wizards are what you want to spend the mula on though)
I set it up by the DJ or Band so it is out of the way but in a good spot for me…and I shoot away! You have to play with it a little before getting used to it…but it is always good to experiment and try out new stuff when you have some more relaxed time at the reception…The result is some very nice directional lighting, rim lighting, and of course, some flair too!
Good luck!!!
The final result…
Happy Thursday!
