Jess and Brian- The Riverview- Simsbury, CT

It was a perfect summer day for a wedding and Jess and Brian lucked out. The chose a beautiful location to have the ceremony and reception, the picture perfect Riverview in Simsbury. The location which was my home away from home this summer, never disappoints and here are some favorites to prove it!

Jess's stunning gown.

Meet Brian, the handsome groom...
And Jess the beautiful Bride.

Their beautiful rings and flowers.

Like I said, the ceremony was right on site and they did a wonderful job decorating!

The first kiss. The Whole bridal party. They were a blast, everyone was great and so easy to get a long with and so easy going!

B and the Boys.

Another great one of Jess The happy couple... and they really were, they were so much fun the entire day and I had a blast shooting them!

Their first dance. I simply love the moment they were having!

Jess and Brian- sorry in the delay in posting this, and of course this is nothing new to you but better late than never! You guys were awesome, your whole group of friends, and family were just wonderful. I had a great time and I know all your guests did too! Wishing you a happy first holiday season together!

Christmas Came Early this year...

Well for those of you who don't know or who haven't heard, I have been a little slow and a little behind on my postings but all for good reasons, I assure you! Meet my beautiful (sure I'm a little biased) son, Michael Stephen...

There are some really great stories about him that I'd like to share, first off his name. Of course we love his name, (which is why we chose it!) but the reason behind it is why we love it.... It basically stems from the 2 most amazing men in my life, and what better way than to be named after both of them?! First off, Michael is my husbands name and a name that runs in their family and as much as we thought about it being a Jr., we felt it was important to honor yet another amazing man in our lives, my father, Stephen.
Secondly he was born on November 8th, which is also my oldest sisters birthday, so she and Michael will always have a special bond as they get to share their special day together!

So far being a mom is just the greatest feeling in the world and I wouldn't change it for anything! I am so in love with my son and with my husband and couldn't be a happier girl! I am blessed with a great baby and an amazing job that lets me stay home during the week and watch him, and take photos of him :)

I hope you find my son a good enough excuse for the delays in posting! I truly had all the events done before his arrival just couldn't find a free hand or minute to post after his arrival, so now that he is five weeks old, I'm starting to get things down in how to really multi task and be a mom and a business owner at once!

More pictures and stories to come!

I will of course appologize for what I'm sure is to come... ENDLESS photos of my baby but I'll try and keep it to old some keepers! These photos here were taken at 3 weeks, but I didn't post anything as I wasn't sure what I was putting in his birth announcement/holiday card, so now that is designed it was safe to post :)

Allesandra & Dan's Wedding

It was a beautiful summer day back in August when Dan and Allesandra tied the knot. I started the day Allesandra's house to get the girls getting ready. I love this shot below, her gown was stunning and I love the way the sun is coming in through the window...

I love the way her dress looks in this photo!

And this is Dan pre-ceremony,just hanging with his dad and the boys...

I love this moment where A & her dad are walking down to meet Dan at the end of the aisle.
Here is the whole bridal party after the ceremony. What a great group of people they were too, we had such a blast taking the formal photos and it was so great to see so many of these people and I went to high school with them, and hadn't seen so many of them since then!

And here are some favorites of the happy couple...

The reception was at the Farmington Club in Farmington, and was such a blast. People danced and ate all night long and everyone had such a good time. Don't forget to check out all their photos on the online ordering part of my site!

A&D- It was so great to see you and be a part of your special day. I had so much fun working with you and seeing all of your friends and family. It truly was a joy to watch your families interact together, as they get along so well, people only hope their families and in laws get along as well as yours does, it really was so nice to see! Wishing you all the best!

June 25, 2010- Erica & Mike

Well as you can tell it's been a while since I've updated my wedding stuff, but it's finally time that I did so! It was a busy summer, so bear with me while I keep you up to date on all the great events that I photographed.
On June 25th I was honored to photograph a wedding of 2 amazing people, and families. I started out at Erica's parents house where she and the girls prepped for the big day.

She looks absolutely stunning!

I Love the photos of Erica and her dad walking down the aisle, and I know they do too. It was such an amazing day and so special for both of them.

This next photo is right after the ceremony and was such a great moment between father and daughter. It was so sweet to watch them, and you couldn't help but feel the love and emotion they were sharing.

What a fun bridal party, they were a blast to work with.

And of course the happy couple. They really do make such a great pair and seemed so happy on such a perfect day.

The reception took place at the Aqua Turf where the great toasts, dances, and fun continued all night.

Although it was several months ago now, and a lot has changed since then, I hope you guys look back on this day as a day you will never forget, as it was a blast for everyone. Wishing you all the best! Enjoy.

Meet the "C" Family

Last weekend, I went down to Branford to photograph the 'C' Family. Their property was picture perfect and just awesome to shoot at! It turns out we have more in common than we thought. We have a mutual friend who recommended me to them, and it turns out I knew A, as she is a midwife at the practice, so now I'm just looking forward to her meeting my new family... in the delivery room :) Wishful thinking anyway! Anyway, check out their beautiful family and perfect little boy!!!

The 'C' Family"E" was SUCH a good boy, he was full of smiles
Look at this happy grin!

He was laughing so hard he kept falling over, it was hysterical.

'E' found Mommies belly with his baby brother, who he'll get to meet in February!

A & D- It was awesome to come to your place and photograph your family. There are so many adorable pictures of "E" I can't stand how cute he is, I'm sure the next one will be just as good! Enjoy.
