Laura and Steve....Happy New Years Wedding Part 1

Okay, so everything is slowly getting back to normal. Yes we are still living out of boxes and bags (which I can't tell you how crazy that drives me. Those who know me well know I am very particular about my stuff) but it's all coming together. As much as I thought buying a house in the winter was crazy, I couldn't imagine what it would have been like doing so in the middle of the wedding season.

Anyway, introducing one of the first couples of the new year, Laura and Steve! Two of the coolest cats I've met in a while. They had to be that cool because it was like 6 degrees at their wedding at the Pond House in West Hartford. We were running in and out of the Pond House in between shots just to stay warm. Needless to say, I think Laura made Steve, Craig and I look like wimps. She totally toughed it out while I was looking for every excuse to warm my bald head.

There where so many awesome shots we grabbed so I will post more later. And you know there is going to be more off camera flash :)

Another special thank you to Craig Freeman for shooting this one with me as well.



I used a custom white balance for the tungsten lighting on this one. Some times my 5D over compensates for the lighting but for this one I think it came out pretty cool.


It wasn't hard making Laura look beautiful. She pretty much took care of that naturally. I love this image, it reminds me of a European fashion magazine ad



Steve had such a great, natural smile. How in love are they!

I was Impressed with the Pond House decor. They had quite the winter spread.

Almost there!

Okay, so this whole moving/transition into the new house is for the birds! We are still staying at the in-laws place so we can straighten things out. Right now I have bathroom stuff in the basement, bedroom stuff in the kitchen and things that will eventually end up in the attic in my living room. So to say the least, we are still moving. On the brighter side, tomorrow night will be the first night we officially stay at our new house.

The cable is hooked up and the studio renovations are in the works! I will be completely up on line tomorrow and ready to handle business as usual! Can't wait!

Please Bare With Me :)

As some of you already know, my wife and I just bought a house in Unionville, CT. That being said, I am going to be without internet service until Thursday. I will be checking my email and blogging from my in-laws house until then. We moved during that ridiculous snow storm on Saturday so we pretty much just dumped everything in the new house.

I will tell you this, I don't plan on moving EVER AGAIN!!! And if I do, you better believe it will be in a house that we have built new. That means no painting and no fixing up before we move in. Oh yeah, and we are going to hire Mayflower movers too!

So please, as the title states, bare with me until then. BTW, the new house is also going to be the home of my new studio! It has a separate entrance, vaulted ceilings and it's completely enclosed. It's about a 12x20 space, I'll keep you all posted!

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!

Finally, after months of weddings (26 to be exact), e-shoots, kids, procrastination, technical difficulties and just a plain ole' lack of time, the new and improved Eric Foley Photography website is live!

I have to thank my wife Erin for dealing with me and supporting me (as she always does) while I stressed and stressed over the site since May. I am completely relieved and can now, hopefully, get some sleep. I'd also like to thank the Livebooks crew who did a great job on the site (especially Sherwin, Jericho and the rest of their awesome customer service team).

Kristen and Mike - Via Candace Jeffery

I got to hang out with one of my good friends Candace, from Candace Jeffery Photography last week. We hit up H-town for a crazy chilly e-shoot with Kristen and Mike. Here are a few images I grabbed. She also took a ton of shots of me in action so click here if you want to check them out.


Here is a shot I grabbed of Candace getting busy.
You could just see the love on their faces




I call this image "American Love" Notice the U.S. Flag?


I love this image with the texture accept for that damn yankee hat!


When I told them to jump in front of the bus they looked at me like I was crazy. Hey, at least it wasn't moving.

More crazy lights from Constitution Plaza.
