Lindsay & Ryan - Society Room, Hartford, CT

The last wedding of the season - and boy was it one to remember. Lindsay and Ryan were married at the First Congregational Church in Granby, CT. We then headed to Bushnell Park and the capitol building to shoot some "formals". Little did I know that everyone had their jumping shoes on … and the guys had on their argyles!

The reception was at the Society Room in Hartford. This was my first time shooting there, but I'd love to go back. The coolest part, I thought, was the fact that Lindsay and Ryan had a table with a cigar roller from Connecticut Cigar Company rolling hand-made cigars for all the guests. Nice touch.

I want to give a special thanks to my good friend Kristin from Picture Everything for shooting with me. She is a remarkable talent. She's responsible for the barber shop photos and the idea for the rings on the Twizzlers. Thank you - thank you!

Congratulations guys. And thank you for a really good time.

Claire & Peter - Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, Brooklyn, New York

A Halloween wedding that was anything but scary. In fact, the fall foliage created such a peaceful backdrop for outdoor photos it was hard to believe there might be ghouls and goblins running amuck.  Claire and Peter were so much fun to work with and had permanent smiles the entire evening.  And kudos to Claire - the first bride I've ever met who made her own dress!

The ceremony and reception took place at the Palm House in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens - Brooklyn, New York and was officiated by Carissa Templeton of Two-In-Love Ceremonies.  It was great to work with such a group of professionals to help the night run so smoothly.

Jillian & Craig - Fox Hill Inn, Brookfield, CT

It poured!  It rained cats and dogs! Animals lined up in pairs in front of the church! But how cool was it? Jill and Craig - you guys were the best sports to go out and stop traffic so we could shoot in the deluge. Best of luck to you both.

Thanks to Dave Field for this image and for second shooting with me that day.  Check out more of his work at www.strawberryrd.com.

Laurie & Ryan - St. Clements Castle, Portland, CT

It was the perfect day to be wed by the Connecticut River. St. Clements Castle provided the perfect venue for Laurie and Ryan who looked like they were the king and queen of the place.  Congratulations guys.
