Carolyn & Drew Hartford, CT (The Bond)

Okay, so now I'm back on track from a whirlwind of weddings the last eight days that brought us to Hartford, New Haven twice then Stafford Springs only to end up in Southington. Thank God gas isn't $4 a gallon!

Enter Carolyn and Drew, the first of four. These two were awesome, Carolyn was beautiful and elegant and Drew, a true gentlemen. They chose City Hall for their pictures so having never been, I was super excited. I have always heard how beautiful it is and it didn't disappoint. It's almost sensory overload when you first step inside. Very over whelming to say the least.

Once we conquered City Hall, we headed over to one of my favorite reception sites, The Bond. The Bond fit Carolyn and Drew to a T and I think we did a great job of Capturing their beautiful day.

A special thanks to Missy Vandermause and Caitlyn Bouchard for shooting this one with me. You guys are awesome, seriously!


Some intense getting ready shots from the salon.

We made a quick stop by the hotel where the guys were hanging to grab a few shots. Here is one of Drew.
What an amazing dress, that's all I can say.
The Bride and her sister.
The bride and mom, now you know where the beauty comes from :)


St. Peter church in West Hartford was all about eye candy.
I love the intensity of this image.
You know I have to roll around the floor at least a couple times to get dirty. Anything for the shot.

On to City Hall!
Classic was the theme here. You couldn't help it.


This session turned out very romantic. I love this image.

On to the bond.

The best man had everyone cracking up, including me.
Get ready for some first dance love!





They ended the night with none other than "sweet Carolyn" Bah Bah Bah
Thank you again guys for letting us be a part of your beautiful wedding.

Mr. Foley, you are the man. these are insane! That dress shot is gorgeous. The groom by the window--awesome light and angle for that one. Love the vertical church shot with the cool ceiling. The image of the priest with the _____ (insert word for fancy cup here--chalace?! I should know this, I was raised Catholic!) And city hall? These are all magnificent! You always rock the dance floor shots, too. Can't wait to see you in action. =)

The city hall shots of the bride and groom are nothing but breathtaking!
AMAZING work as always eric. Each and every time I catch something new on here I'm just floored at your execution, your processing, your composition and your ability to catch these raw slices from time that are filled with emotion.
These clients must be just overflowing with happiness. Your work really conveys their love and brings us right into their special day.
Truly awesome!
Never stop shooting,
Broderick.
