Something to help with all this heat…A snowy winter wedding image published in Brides Connecticut Magazine’s Fall/Winter 2011 Issue! Thanks to Lauren Matthews and the staff at Brides Connecticut for the opportunity to be included in this coming issue of their inspirational wedding publication! And of course… Yay for Jen and Chris..who were the newlyweds who ventured into freezing temperatures so I could fulfill my creative itch in grabbing this fun shot of them outside the Fox Hill during the start of a winter storm during their December 2009 wedding at The Fox Hill Inn in Brookfield, CT. There were threats of 18 inches of snow to fall on the day of their wedding, and the weather held off until later in the evening during their reception, which made a truly intimate and cozy affair, and also made for this shot…
I wanted them to remember the snow falling on their wedding day and was about to leave for the evening, when I stepped outside and had that gut instinct t that I NEEDED to grab this shot so they can always remember the snow. LOVED that they were up for it and LOVED the image even more! Thanks to Jen and Chris for taking the few minutes away from their guests to make it happen!
Here’s the article!
Happy Tuesday All!

It is always so much fun and such a pleasure to have been featured on Style Me Pretty’s blog, where you can find loads and loads of great DIY inspiration for all your wedding details. Last September, I photographed Amanda and Kyle’s vineyard wedding up in Stonington, Connecticut at the Saltwater Farm Vineyard. What a beautiful venue and I am happy to say I will be back there again very soon to photograph another wedding! It was a beautiful and fun day working with the industries leading vendors and I it was such a pleasure working with not only Amanda and Kyle, but also the lovely ladies from Sixpence For Your Shoe, Talia and Lindsay, dd Nickel for make up and hair and of course The White Dress by the Shore, where Amanda got all her bridesmaids dresses and wedding gown.
More weddings to come!
Happy Tuesday!

Last night I attended the Grace Ormonde Book Signing for Connecticut’s swankiest vendors in the wedding industry and chatted with Beth Chapman, who is the owner of The White Dress By The Shore in Clinton Connecticut! I have always recommended The White Dress to my clients who have not yet found the perfect wedding gown for themselves, mainly because I knew the dresses offered there were top of the line gowns, and the boutique itself brings on a whole new level of experience! I now can say even more good things about The White Dress after meeting Beth, which was such a pleasure! In talking with Beth I found out that one of my 2009 couples, Lauran and Carlos, are the Featured Wedding at The White Dress right now. You should take the time to check it out as well as browse their website! I am positive you won’t be disappointed!
Hope all is well with everyone! Have LOTS to share coming up on the blog including another newborn session, a handful of BEAUTIFUL weddings, and much more! ;o) Stay tuned!
Happy Tuesday!

When I spoke with Lauran and Carlos during their details appointment a couple weeks before their wedding I knew it was going to be a blast to photograph, and the details seemed like something only one could imagine. The energy and thought that they both incorporated into their day, along with Lauran’s parent’s BEAUTIFUL county farm house nestled in a quaint Connecticut town, where the ceremony and reception took place, was just picture perfect. Lauran had mentioned at the meeting how she was working for a very talented florist, Elisabeth Zemetis, of Blush Floral Design, and that Blush Floral would be creating all the arrangements for her wedding day. I knew deep down, in my detail infatuated heart, that they wouldn’t be anything less then spectacular! Well, sure enough, I was right. As soon as I spotted Lauran’s bouquet on the dining room table my heart started pumping and I was on overdrive clicking my shutter like a crazy woman (not really crazy, but more like seriously excited). I think I might remember a few beads of sweat as well.
In a nutshell, the fabulous Elisabeth from Blush Floral, along with my photography, as well as other equally talented and dedicated CT vendors work , has been featured on the Style Me Pretty home page today and I am super excited for her, as she truly deserves the recognition. Her work is outstanding and classy. I only hope that someday very soon we can work together again!
So check out Lauran and Carlos’ wedding on the Style Me Pretty blog today and get inspired with some vintage details! If you haven’t yet seen their wedding and you are looking for some vintage, rustic and country-ish inspiration for your wedding details, you can check out more pics of their wedding here.
Hope you all enjoy your beautiful **almost** spring like Monday!
