MARRIED: Emily & Ari

Emily & Ari's "getting ready" was something I'd never seen before. Everyone (bride, bridesmaids, groom, groomsmen, family) all hanging out together in the bridal suite ahead of time. A really cool idea, and set the relaxed fun tone for the entire day.


The fabulous wedding party. The bridesmaids all wore their own selection of little black dress, while the groomsmen wore khakiis with black Polo shirts.

MARRIED: Kyoko & Han

I knew when I pulled up to Kyoko's parents' home in West Hartford, and I saw the front yard filled with about 300 flowers, this was going to be a GORGEOUS wedding! and boy was I right. From beginning to end, the day was filled with beauty - not to mention family and fun!

Kyoko's makeup was done by Janice from Naomi's Studio & Salon





Could the flower girl BE any cuter?






The proud parents


The staircase and landing were beautiful and the perfect backdrop for a quick bridal portrait or two










I love a happy bride!












The Society Room - one of my favorite venues






On an average day, The Society Room is by far one of (if not THE) most beautiful venues around. But I have to give really LOUD shout outs to the following vendors who just dialed it up to 11 :) Jessica's Country Flowers for her breathtaking arrangements, Tony at AfterHoursDJ's who did an amazing job with the lighting and keeping the dancefloor full all night. And last but not least, my good friend Lynda from Details Weddings Planning who really pulled all the fabulous ideas/details together. It was also great to work with Fran Gagnon again who provided video for the day.

MARRIED: Michelle & Ryan

Michelle & Ryan's wedding was all about enjoying the day with eachother, family, friends, and beautiful surroundings.

The ceremony was held in the field at the top of the hill overlooking the farm.


Michelle & Ryan's dogs stuck around for a photo or two


I absolutely loved this stable - it is the most beautiful and CLEANEST I've ever seen




Michelle was a beautiful bride - and so laid back - love that!






Michelle's Dad is a hunter and the stuffed Moose, Deer, and especially this bear! created very cool candids during the cocktail hour in the great room.








Lindsay & Talia from Sixpence for you Shoe arranged all the amazing details for this wedding.
It was also great to work with the fabulous David Lammey (videographer). We had a sneezing contest at different times during the day and night. We felt like complete city slickers :)


No, this is not Dr. Phil giving the couple some advice. It's their family friend who sereneded them for their first dance :)

ENGAGED: Krista & Ray

I shot Krista & Ray's engagement photos in Madison. We only got to spend a little less than an hour together but I think we got a lot of variety thanks to all the wardrobe changes :) Looking forward to the wedding!
