Elissa & Sirtaz Tie the Knot!














Below, one of many great shots from Missy!








Below, experimenting and having fun with back lighting on the first dance.




Wow, I can't tell how much fun we had at Elissa & Sirtaz's Wedding, these guys were AWESOME! This wedding was packed with great places to shoot and two very unique ceremonies. First we started at Elissa's bridal suite to shoot the getting ready images, then we had the honor of shooting in St. Josephs Cathedral in Hartford and then we capped it off with a traditional Korean ceremony at the reception site. I posted about 24 of my favorite images which only touch the surface of great images from this wedding. I would be up all night if I was going to post them all!

This wedding was also exciting because it was my first with my new team shooter Missy Vandermause. She did an AWESOME job, I know we are going to kick @$$ together for at least 7 weddings this year. Missy is pregnant so she will only shoot with me until June:(

As you can see, this is one seriously beautiful couple. I could have photographed them all day. They had a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding! Congratulations guys and best wishes!

Carly & Jim Rockin The Blue Back













Carly, Jim and I hung out and did the Elizabeth Park/Blue Back Square combo e-shoot last week. It was my fifth e-session there this year! The great thing about these two areas is there are all sorts of nooks and crannies to photograph, every time I go, I find a new spot. Carly and Jim where all smiles. I had to tell them to be serious a few times just so I could get a shot of them not laughing. The one moment that sticks out is when I asked Jim to tell me one of Carly's bad habits. I ask all my couples this because it is usually hilarious, especially if it embarrasses them. Well it didn't work, Jim plead the fifth. I don't know, It could've had something to do with those evil eyes Carly was giving him. Anyway, can't wait for the big day guys, we should have an awesome time!

Beautiful Weather = Sunday Wedding!

I'm off to photograph Elissa and Sirtaz's wedding this morning at the amazing St. Joseph Cathedral in Hartford. This is one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. I can't wait! I know the way I shoot it will be challenging not to shoot 500+ images just in the church. Anyway, we have an awesome couple to shoot so it should be a blast! Wish me well:)

Kinga & JJ.....The Harkness - Mystic Connection


















I forgot to post this image last night, of course I said it was my favorite and it wasn't even posted:)

What more can I say? Not to take anything away from other E-shoots but this may have been the funnest one yet! Kinga and JJ absolutely ROCKED their E-session. I can't tell you how sweet this couple was, you would have to witness it for your self. First we hit Harkness Memorial (my #1 fav place to go in CT, thanks to my wife Erin for introducing me a few years back) where I really got to know K & J. It was the perfect place to start, there is something about the energy of the grounds that is simply mesmerizing, you can't help but fall in love with the place.

After we covered about only 25% of the park we made our way to my 2nd fav place in CT, Mystic. Home of the famous Mystic Pizza, famous for the self titled movie staring Julia Roberts. This town to me, is the definition of New England. This place is a photographers dream, I could've photographed Kinga & JJ all weekend! I would have to say one of my favorite images is the one of them kissing in the middle of the road. It took us about ten minutes to get that shot (traffic) so it made it all the more worth it. All said and done, with this experience with these guys I know we are going to have an awesome day photographing their wedding. Can't wait!!
