Sharon and Jay - Candlewood Inn, Brookfield, CT

MJ's Thriller. Custom-dyed Chuck Taylors. Blueberries. Air flute? The details of this wedding were awesome and it certainly had no lack of dance moves. I have to say, Sharon rocked that dance floor. And while Jay did a pretty good job keeping up, his new bride was bustin' moves the entire night. Had to be the shoes…..

We started the day at Adam Broderick Salon in Southbury, Connecticut where Sharon was getting her hair and makeup done. Along the way we met some new friends as the staff there was remarkable. I suggest asking for Blu if you need a makeup artist who knows her stuff and is charming along the way. As you can see below, Sharon's makeup was very natural but popped in the camera.

We then headed over to The Candlewood Inn in Brookfield, Connecticut for the ceremony and reception. Shooting the Chuck's and the heals were a must and Sharon rocked that as well. A natural on the dance floor, and in front of the camera, she proved worthy of the cover of her bridal magazine (look closely at the first shot. Yes that's her on the cover!).

As I was shooting the girls in the bridal suite, Neil Landino (my 2nd photog for the day) was hard at work shooting the guys by the docks. The coolest part of this group was the 2 groomsgirls (sorry guys). A first in my book, they showed the guys how it was done and looked great standing by Jay's side.

So, thank you guys for a really great time. Looking forward to spending some time together off the clock!

Erin and Nicole - Harkness State Park, Waterford, CT

The fog was like something out of a John Carpenter movie. It came in, went out and repeated. But it was the best backdrop we could have asked for and we used it to our advantage.

I first met Erin and Nicole at Harkness State Park in Waterford, Connecticut for their engagement shoot and we hit it off immediately. We hit the ground running trying to beat the weather. Not only did we battle the fog, but rain drops scattered the area as well. It proved to be perfect as the sun would break through every so often, but there was just enough rain to keep the crowds to a minimum. It was as if we had the place to ourselves.

Emmy & Pablo - The Meadowlands, Darien, CT

I first met Emmy and Pablo on the day of their engagement shoot. The chemistry was awesome and we had a really good time walking around the Williamsburg, NY waterfront.

3 weeks later, the wedding day proved to be more of the same. They exchanged vows at the Meadowlands in Darien, CT. The scene felt like a quaint backyard wedding with families from two different countries coming together as one.

Ally & Dave - Black Rock Yacht Club - Bridgeport, CT

I have to admit that my favorite part about Ally and Dave's wedding had to be the British accents. I'm a sucker for them. And there were certainly plenty to go around as Dave's family came from across the pond to attend his marriage to Ally.

The ceremony and reception took place at the Black Rock Yacht Club in Bridgeport Connecticut. The sun was shining (brightly) and the sea gulls were singing "here comes the bride." OK, exaggeration, but you can picture it right? The docks made for a great place for formals and shots of the bride and groom. So as the sun started to sink, we headed out for a few quick pics to capture the perfect light.

Cheers mates!!!
