Virginia Dreaming........

Well I'm back from Va. sad to say, It's my home away from home! After all, I did live there for 8 years and I haven't been back for 5. It was a great trip that brought us from the Blue Ridge to Colonial Williamsburg, a vacation well needed. Here's a handful of pics I thought were cool, time was limited but I took advantage of what I had!

John and I at his house overlooking the mountains. John had no idea we were coming, it's been 5 years since we've hung out ( needless to say, he was very surprised, thanks kim for keeping it hush, hush )! Since that time, he and his wife Kimberly have opened Cottle Multi-Media and now are my exclusive photo lab.

Colonial gardens and houses
All sorts of cool stuff to shoot, I could've spent a week just on one street!

Who would've thought that song Brick House was from the year 1607

Heading to Williamsburg!

Well the Blue ridge was awesome as expected, and now we are off to Williamsburg! We took a 3 mile hike up to Crabtree Falls which is a must see to anyone who can get down there. While we're in "the burg" we're going to Busch Gardens and Water Country, which should be lots of fun. I'll be posting images soon so stay tuned!

Off to Virginia!

We're going to spend a few days in the Blue Ridge Mountains to see John & Kimberly ( Cottle Multi-Media our photo lab) then off to Va Beach via Colonial Williamsburg. We used to live in Williamsburg for 7 years and haven't been back since we moved to CT. (5 Years). It should be an interesting journey! Check out the Williamsburg Inn, I used to be a chef there for 4 years! It was 5 star 5 diamond resort recreated to be in the times of the 1700's. It was an awesome job but the hours were crazy!

I'll be sure to blog while we're down there and take plenty of photos too!

I can hear John Denver singing country roads in my head already!

Chris & Erin's Beach Day

What can possibly be better than spending some time at the beach with your camera shooting an engagement session? The only thing that was missing was a cooler full of Sam!


My favorite, I love the grass!

ratatshmooie!!!!!!!

My wife and I attempted to take our 18 month old son to see Ratatouille yesterday and to no avail, we came up short. Well I guess it wasn't that bad. He lasted about 40 minutes. It would've been an hour but the stinking credits ran for 20 minutes :( He was really into the movie though, he even belly laughed through a few parts. The downfall was that he couldn't sit still. He wanted to run around the theater as he watched the movie screen. Anyway, we knew it was time to go when he dumped his juice all over my wife's leg and my ankle's. I guess we will be waiting a year or two before we try again, for now we'll have to settle for the DVD.

Insomnia!

This is what happens when I stay up too late! I probably won't like it when I wake up!

Ron & Melissa

These guys are a sweet couple from Middletown,Ct. Their love for each other was so strong and true, it had me missing my wife the whole day! I just wanted to hug somebody! I don't think I had to ask them to smile the whole day!

Jen & Mark

Here are a few images we took at Jen & Mark's wedding at Old Wethersfield's best kept secret........Keeney Memorial Cultural Center. As my wife would say "that place is soooooo cuuuuute". It was a fun place to shoot with endless opportunities!
