Leanne and Pat's Reservoir Love!!

The lady walking by was giving me this weird look as she passed me lying on the ground but L&P didn't flinch! Hey, anything to get the shot....... right?





Okay, so I'm playing serious catch-up with my blog posting here! June has been absolutely crazy! I've had 14 shoots this month alone so I've got plenty of images ready to roll. I am going to post a session a day for the rest of the week excluding Thursday and Saturday (weddings) so don't blink, you might miss something.

Anyway, back to the couple at hand. Leanne, Pat and myself ventured into the West Hartford Reservoir to do their love session (a.k.a e-shoot). I've been there plenty of times with the fam and friends but this was my first shoot there. There are some awesome trails and winding paths that are split with some cool little streams and of course, the reservoir. There are also these bunker looking hubs if you will, that I was excited to shoot in because they had a very grungy look that I loved. Leanne and Pat were total troopers, they climbed a rock wall to get on the roof of one of the buildings (the last image) to get a great shot. Like I do on all my e-shoots, I had a great time! Thanks guys for coming out, see ya at the wedding!

Jocelyn & Pete = Oh So Sweet!

How hot is Jocelyn!!!






I had the pleasure of hanging out with two friends of mine, Jocelyn and Pete, to shoot their engagement session at Harkness Memorial Park. Jocelyn is a photographers dream! She loves photography and appreciates the art so it's so easy to photograph her (and Pete too:) because she knows exactly what to do. As you can see in the shot with the Buddha, Pete is a jokester and has a hard time keeping a straight face. When it comes to Pete, you never know what he's going to do next, my kinda guy!

These two are the sweetest couple and it shows in the way they look at each other. They get married in July at The Riverview in Simsbury, I can't wait, I know we are going to have a great time!

New Look - Same Great Taste!

Finally! After being hounded by 100 photographers or so I updated my blog with a new improved look. You will notice the images are now ginormous compared to before. I think it gives a better impact on the feel of the images, I also changed the color scheme to match my logo.

I have to give a shout to Dave and Kim Baxter from Ohana Photography in Cali and Danielle Fuller from Beyond The Lens Photography in Cornwall, CT for helping me figure out the html code on the blog.

Kinga & JJ's Forever Love!

One of Missy's fabulous shots of the day!






These two might be the most genuinely cute couples I've ever met! Kinga is so sweet with her smile that can light up the darkest room and JJ has this debonair presence that is impossible to miss. We had a beautiful day that started in my home town of "Hard Hittin" New Britain at Holy Cross Church, then onto Elizabeth Park and then finally ending at the Crown Plaza Cromwell. There was loads of Polish tradition at this wedding which is always refreshing to see in contrast to most non-church weddings that I shoot. I find it intriguing to witness how other cultures join in their lives together, there is always something new to learn! Kinga and JJ, I wish you both well and I enjoyed being a part of your special day.

Jen & Ted Hartford Style!

Meet Jen and Ted! Jen is best friends with Melanie (the post right below this one) so I decided to post them together. Jen was totally hot! And I don't say that just because they picked the hottest day of the year for their e-shoot, 95 degrees. She was rockin "the look" as I refer to it. It is kinda like the female version of Blue Steel from Zoolander. Ted was debonair and was totally chilled out as well. I had a blast shooting them and look forward to a rockin wedding!








Can you say HOT COUPLE!
The place where they met!

Melanie & Shawn Go Huskies!

Looking through the back of my 50mm 1.2 zoomed in!





Meet Shawn and Melanie, two Uconn grads that met in college and fell in love. I got the extended tour of the campus, which is beautiful to say the least and got to see all the parts that I missed when I was there. O.K so I failed to mention I didn't actually go to school there, but my friends did!I used to party with the best of them every Thursday thru Saturday rockin the towers and the jungle (exit 68 in the house!). Of course being true blue huskies, Mel and Shawn had some stories of thier own.

These two were so kind and willing to do just about anything. Shawn was great, he actually liked being photographed (some of you guys out there don't) and had some great ideas for photos as well. Melanie seemed innocent at first then we got the diva to come out..Very Hot! There was much fun to be and we heavily indulged! Thanks guys, can't wait for the wedding!

Caitlyn and Randy - Cape Cod Dreaming!

What a sweet and Beautiful family!
Awww, Mack Daddy Randy showing some love!





This shot is tittled "Tornado Face"

Gotta love Hyannis Harbor!

The best fish 'n' chips and steamers on the Cape!

When I first met Caitlyn and Randy we hit it off right away. Caitlyn told me her nostalgic stories and adventures living up at the Cape and asked if we could do the E-Shoot there. Well after living up at the Cape for two summers and having the time of my life (with my then girlfriend turned wife of course) I could hardly resist! And Randy, well like my self, he is a big Philadelphia Eagles fan. Cu'mon are you serious? You couldn't write a better movie script!

Anyway, these two were so fun to be around we actually shot for two days. The weather was an issue so I wanted to make sure we spent enough time getting the great images they deserved. If you frequent the Cape you know two days is nowhere near enough time! I could spend months!

The Cape is a special place for my wife and I and it's great to see another couple share their love in such a beautiful place! I miss it dearly and I'm glad we did their E-Shoot there. I'm sure these images will give me goosebumps every time I see them!
