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!

Pete and Diane Married At The Mansion!

A whole lot of spirits make a party right!
The ceiling inside the mansion.
I could not pass on the very cool teal rug,




How many hands does it take??

The beautiful bride Diane!!
Pete and his bro!




A really cool wide angle shot from Missy!

Well I found my new favorite place to shoot a wedding! The Branford House Mansion! This place had such a majestic feel and there were sooo many cool places to photograph. What a perfect day, not a cloud to be seen and the sky, an endless canvas of blue. Diane and Pete couldn't of picked a better day or place. Okay, the only thing that infringed on the day was my fault. As you can see in my profile image I have a shaved head. The only thing I needed to do was remember sunscreen! Did I? Of course not:(

Question of the day class- What do you get when you add a 1pm ceremony + 84 degree weather + 2 1/2 hours in the sun + no sun screen?

Answer: A really really bad sunburn on my head! Oooouch!

Diane and Pete are teachers so I'm sure they appreciate the equation.

Anyway, Missy and I had a blast with these guys! They were so laid back and fun to be around it almost seemed like we were just hanging out in stead of shooting a wedding. Diane is so adorable with her sweet smile and Pete, well he's a ham! This guy reminds me of myself with his sarcastic sense of humor. Which I'm sure Diane would have something to say about that.

Congratulations on a beautiful wedding, you guys were awesome!

Happy 5th Anniversary Babe!


Today 5 years ago my wife and I said I do and that's the last thing we've agreed on since! Just kidding, it wouldn't be me without a smart ass comment but that's why she loves me:) I can't tell you enough Erin how much you mean to me, you're my best friend and soulmate, I couldn't do it with out you! Now we have a beautiful family and all I want to do is grow old with you and watch Keegan and Aislinn grow up. I look forward to everyday with you and I just want you to know how deep my love is.

Thanks for sticking around and dealing with my craziness for the last 5 years,

Love Eric

Kelly & Matt's Gouveia Vineyards Love session












O.k, Kelly is a photographers dream! She has this naturally seductive look that just draws you right into her eyes. She said she watches America's Top Model on the regular so she knows exactly what to do. Hint Hint for all those who want "that look". Anyway, we had a great time on their e-shoot at Gouveia Vineyards in Wallingford capped off with a few glasses of wine and a plate of cheese and crackers that Matt and I swiped from the free sample table. The only bummer was they wouldn't let us into the vineyard which I can totally respect. But we had good wine, good cheese and good company, what more could you ask for anyway? Looking forward to your October Wedding guys!

Alls well from Cape Cod!

Just a quick hello, we just got back from Hyannis, Cape Cod. I had an awesome e-shoot with Caitlyn and Randy Friday and Saturday so we decided to turn it into a mini family vacation. I have tons of images to post including a wedding and another e-shoot so check back soon. I need to get some sleep, tomorrow I'll be shooting Melanie and Shawn up at Uconn for their engagement session.
