Eric has a passion for music. He brought along his guitar to showcase his skills and we're so happy he did. We love getting to know our seniors. Each one of them has a unique story, a unique personality and unique hobbies - which makes our job awesome. Every day we get to learn new things, meet new people and go experience new fun stuff.
Eric, it was a pleasure spending the afternoon with you. We know your talents will take you far in life. Enjoy every moment of your senior year in high school. All the best!

Purple was the connecting color through each stage of their wedding. From the bridesmaids dresses to the wine served at dinner. We started the day at at the Courtyard Mariott, where both Lisa and Kevin got ready with bridesmaids and ushers. With a little help from our taxi friend, we captured some awesome shots of Lisa and Kevin being whisked away to say "i do."
Lisa and Kevin chose to do two ceremonies to celebrate both of their different traditions. In honor of Kevin's family, it is customary to do a tea ceremony. Red symbolizes the color of success, loyalty, honor, fertility, passion, love and happiness. These are all ideal conditions for a happy marriage. We saw this color appear in the tea cups as well as the gifts presented to them. It was a beautiful sight. A traditional ceremony then took place in honor of Lisa. It started at dusk, with the sun setting in the background. Glowing candles illuminated the isle leading right up to Lisa and Kevin, where they officially became husband and wife. After their vows, we moved inside where dinner was served and friends and family danced the night away. Lisa and Kevin - your wedding was truly a special event. We are so thankful to be a part of it and we hope you enjoy this little preview of whats to come. Can't wait to have you visit to see the rest!

It took place at St. Clements Castle in Portland, CT - overlooking the beautiful rolling hills and Connecticut River.
Shane arrived at the castle in style with a luxury white-hot Maserati. He and all of his closest buddies were cracking us up with some of their dance moves pre-ceremony. While Shane got ready to sweep the girl of his dreams of her feet, Allison was upstairs clinking cocktails and sharing toasts with her best girlfriends and family. This duo cherishes their friends and family, it's evident in each of these photographs. Guests were groovin' on the dance floor way into the night, the festivities never ended. The food is always awesome at St. Clements Castle, and the cake by J Cakes tasted just as heavenly as it looked. Allison and Shane, thank you for choosing us to photograph one of the most special days in both of your lives - it was an honor.

Their crimson red accents popped up in the best of places; from Alicia's lipstick, to the bridesmaids dresses and flower arrangements. Speaking of flowers, Rosa's Florist did an exquisite job. The bouquets couldn't have illustrated autumn in New England any better.
The day started with Alicia and Sam getting ready at the beautiful Foxwoods Resort Casino. We love this venue because of its rich, colorful interior design - making for the perfect photo backdrops. We made our way down to the ceremony where our bride and groom tied the knot overlooking the beautiful Lake of Isles With tears of joy and blessings from friends and family, Alicia and Sam officially started their lives as husband and wife. Their reception party was loads of fun. DJ Sam lit up the room with gorgeous spotlights and played the best beats while everyone danced well into the night. Alicia and Sam are so in love with each other and it shows. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about if you look at the way they gaze into each others eyes in each of these photographs. You can feel their passion for one another and it's beautiful to watch. Alicia and Sam, we hope you enjoy this sneak peek and can't wait to have you into our studio to preview all your images. We are so thankful that you chose us to photograph your special day. We wish you the very best now and forever. xo A special thanks to each of the talented creatives that made this day possible...

Not only is she photogenic but she's also super talented. From the very beginning Maya knew she wanted to incorporate dancing in her point shoes, and we're so glad she did. She's been dancing since her toddler days and it's a big part of who she is. We love capturing people in their natural environments. It makes for heartfelt photography, don't you agree?
We styled Maya's wardrobe to coordinate with her colorful personality and Indian culture. The deep maroons and purples work perfect with her skin and this time of the year in New England. Autumn is in full effect with leaves magically changing to bright oranges and yellows, and gardens filled with different colored Dalias - making for the most perfect backdrops.

From her glamorous dress, ring and headpiece to his dapper tuxedo, each detail was delicately designed with royal treatment. Lake of Isles hosted the ceremony as well as the reception, adding regal charm to each backdrop.
The formal photographs are some of our favorites. We were going for a traditional stance, staggering bridesmaids and groomsmen in front of the grand fireplace. The outcome was just timeless. Lindsey and Matthew were bundles of fun, reminding us to dance at any opportunity. Their most important wish was that friends and family enjoyed the day as much as they did, and from beginning to end their wedding was a blast. With overflowing cocktails and tasty entrées guests partied long into the night, filling the room with an infectious energy. Not going to lie, we didn't want to leave. Lindsey & Matthew we wish you all the best as husband and wife. We thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day and cannot wait for you to visit the studio again to preview all your beautiful pictures.

Bursts of purple were found everywhere, from the amethyst bridesmaids dresses to the glimmering lights at their reception.
The Mr & Mrs vowed forever to each other overlooking the sparkling lake. After combining two jars of sand into one, they snuck away over the river and through the woods for some of my most favorite intimate shots as husband and wife. The food is always delectable at Lake of Isles, making it fun to photograph. The whole day was filled with wonderful people, celebrating a lifetime of happiness. It doesn't get much better than that! Congratulations Kari and Jonathan!!! Thanks for allowing us to photograph your special moments, we loved being a part of your big day.

Saying "I do" with your tootsies in the sand sounds like heaven, and every moment of this wedding was just that, blessed.
The day was personalized by Brianna and Kevin, and with the help of amazing friends and family it went off without a hitch. Brianna always dreamed of getting married on a beach, and with the sun shining and ocean waves as their backdrop, it couldn't have been any more perfect. Each detail was designed to fit their nautical theme, with a blue and pink color palette. Colorful beverages, endless amounts of candy, a spinning carousel, and an amazing bride & groom filled the party with lots fun. This was one of the most important days of Brianna and Kevin's life, and we hope you enjoy seeing all the special moments we captured. Bri and Kev, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be a part of your beautiful day. We had a blast and wish you the best future together.

It was the perfect location for Josh and Keeley, a very creative couple who enjoy the outdoors. The vintage charm was complimented by rustic details and the entire wedding was veiled in the prettiest, most colorful green palette I've seen in a while.
We love that Keeley & Josh decided to capture a "first look" before they said their vows. When Keeley tip toed up behind Josh, it seemed that even the little critters in the woods alongside me held their breath. After tying the knot under the trees and twinkling sun, they were swept away by their breathtaking set of wheels to celebrate. Later in the afternoon, they pitched tents and continued to dance the night away with family and friends. Keeley & Josh you have infectious personalities that made our work a real pleasure. Thank you for allowing us to photograph your special day and may you live happily ever after.
