Katie & Eliad Old Greenwich Style

Introducing Katie and Eliad, two very cool and kind people. I had the pleasure of truckin down to Greenwich for the first time in my 22 years in CT to shoot their engagement session this past week. Needless to say, they were great to work with and fun to hang out with as well! Unfortunately we were pressed for time or more like daylight so we didn't hit the "real" Greenwich as Eliad put it, but it was great non the less. They were nice enough to invite my wife and I back down to give us the local access tour. After the shoot Eliad and Katie treated me to dinner at the Beach House Restaurant were Eliad and I enjoyed Blueberry Mojitos, good times man, good times!

All in all we had an awesome time, I'm looking forward to their wedding in June, it should be a blast! Can't wait guys, see ya soon!

Happy Mothers Day

I would like to take the time to say Happy Mothers Day to my mom, my wife, my Grandma, my wife's mom and all the beautiful moms of the world, you are greatly appreciated! I know from my experience, I could not do it by myself nor do I think any guy could. Moms have a way of making a family come together and making it all work. Moms have a patience that I can't explain. Just when things get too crazy it's always the soft reassuring voice of a mother that calms, makes sense of and restores order in life. I've said it before and I'll say it again, behind every good man is an even better women.

Moms, I love you!

Coming soon to a wedding near you!

Well now that e-shoot season is in full swing I'm trying to finish some business upgrades before the major part of my wedding season starts. First business at hand....name, brand & logo change. We will be officially changing from Visions Photography to Eric Foley Photography on Monday the 12th. As you can see above, this is our new logo, designed by the uber talented John Cottle from Cottle Multi-Media.. SWEET! A new website is also in the works (Livebooks) that will hopefully be done by July.

Anyway, I just had two e-shoots in as many days ranging from Greenwich to Mystic so I will be posting them ASAP! Both of these couples were awesome people and totally fun to hang out with!

Stay tuned!

Baby Aislinn / Keegan Update

I just wanted to give you a taste of some images I took this week, things are finally settling down and we kinda have a daily routine in place (and I use the term - kinda have a daily routine - very lightly). I am going to be doing a "studio" shoot with the kids this week so check back soon! All else is well at the homestead, we are just enjoying our new life and watching the kids grow everyday. We are truly blessed and very thankful!

The Bold And The Beautiful - "Engagement Edition" - Sirtaz & Lisa

Well I hit Elizabeth Park twice in one week with Engagement sessions and needless to say, they were both awesome! It's amazing the difference 5 days makes with the flowers, Saturday there was 1 lonely tulip (see Pete & Diane post below) and Thursday the was hundreds.

Anyway, I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Lisa & Sirtaz for their e-session Thursday. Wow, that's all I can say! I was supposed to be making them look good but I think they made me look good. Fun, willing and very spirited is how I would describe them, there wasn't too much they wouldn't do. A special thanks to Sirtaz for doing whatever I asked, he's a trooper. The poor guy had 4 or 5 knee surgeries and was still willing to get down and dirty. As for Lisa, I can only imagine how gorgeous she will be in her wedding dress!

Wedding Date: 5/18/08 - Stay Tuned!

Operation Engagement - Pete and Diane

This was the only tulip in bloom in the entire garden, so of course, we had to take advantage!


















I had a great time Saturday shooting Pete and Diane for their engagement session. This was the perfect prelude to their wedding at the Branford Mansion. Pete was great, such a ham and pretty much willing to do anything you ask. And as for the beautiful Diane, as the day went on her sarcastic character came out and made for an awesome shoot. I can already tell we are going to have fun shooting their wedding.

I can't emphasize enough to present and future Brides and Grooms how important these engagement sessions are. Imagine paying thousands of dollars on a photographer to only stress out, wonder or hope that he or she will be personable or able on your wedding day. Not to mention for us, it's priceless. Our job is to catch those natural moments as they happen and they are much easier to catch when you've already built a working relationship with the Bride and Groom. Don't you think??

I think of my self on the job as 1/3 comedian, 1/3 Photographer and last but not least 1/3 psychologist. It always makes the couple more at ease and relaxed, which allows us to capture your first family heirloom naturally.

Attention all Brides and Grooms of mine, if you haven't scheduled your e-shoot, please do so soon! I don't have many dates left available until the fall.
