I had the pleasure of shooting Jen and Chris’ wedding! It was actually funny how it all came to be! I was told by my friend Dave that he referred someone to me, but that they might be planning on having a family member go ahead and photograph the wedding. (that’s how I remember it anyway!) Then my friend/past client Kelly, who is a travel agent, had also referred me to Jen, when she met with her to plan her honeymoon. So Jen called and we met and enjoyed a long chat about how Chris and her met. I didn’t hear back for a while. The whole time I had no idea that Jen was the one that my friend Dave referred to me! So long story short…I am hanging out with Dave and his wife, Trish, and Trish says…”So,I guess you’ll be shooting Jen’s wedding in December! She said she met with you!” It wasn’t until then that I realized that Jen was the one Dave was originally talking about and to me, and also the one Kelly referred to me. Much like Jen and Chris… I guess we were meant to cross paths!
I am SO unbelievably honored to have been chosen to photograph Jen and Chris’ wedding day! Their day was anything but out of the ordinary, with a MAJOR snow storm in the forecast (they were calling for 2 feet of snow…not inches…FEET!!) Jen and Chris went on with the show and it ended up falling into place and made for a romantic, snowy evening! You couldn’t ask for anything more for these two! They are meant to be and as usual…love conquers ALL! Even 2 feet of snow! ;o)
The reception was held at Fox Hill Inn in Brookfield, Ct.
So here are my favorites…Enjoy!
We shot her dress at her Grandmother’s house next door!
FAB-U-LOUS shoes!!!
The ceremony was held at the O’Byrne Chapel at Manhattan College, where they both met! Very appropriate!
The man of the hour…Chris…
Minutes before heading down the aisle…
We had very little time to do the formals in actual light so we ended up shooting some indoors, not too mention it was about 19 degrees out! ;o)
So since we had very little light to work with…I got some moody pics with some off camera lighting and the frigid dark night rolling in…
back inside…for some cozy stuff!
Heading over to the reception I captured some details…
I had a few moments to have a little fun…
One of my favorite shots of the day…
the speeches were very funny, and emotional…
Then pretty much the snow set the scene for everyone to let loose and enjoy the moment! It was a seriously fun reception!
there was so much energy in the room.
and the last shot is just so Jen and Chris can remember it snowed on their wedding day 30 years from now!
Congrats to Jen and Chris…so happy it all fell into place for you both and I am happy you enjoyed your WARM honey moon!
Happy Saturday!
Next up on the blog is a NYC engagement shoot!
