Shoes… jewelry… Coventry Lake… water, canoe, sunset glamor, sassy, sexy…   … Jilian  … Jeremy.

OMG, what a blast this engagement session was! We had so many cool ideas, and a schedule that was pretty packed, but I have to say we totally nailed it, and Jil & Jeremy, you guys sparkled so beautifully – all the way from A to Z. I am looking at these images now and I am having a hard time picking my own favorites. I am so excited, and I am so looking forward to the wedding!

Wickham Park in Manchester is an absolutely beautiful place – all year round. Summer though, imho, is the time when it truly shines. Stacy and Russ made such a great choice with it for their e-session. And shine, it did! What a wonderful setting it turned into for some of the most sincere and charming photos I have taken!

Speaking of sincerity and charm, I have photographed so many couples. Every single one – truly beautiful – in their own way. But I have rarely seen the spontaneity Stacy and Russ had. Everything happened so naturally, entirely by itself, and it just flowed, and flowed, and flowed. Giggly, serious, goofy, tender,  romantic – you got it Val! Add to that the two wonderful little treasures they have, and you get the perfect recipe for cuteness. What can I say…

S & R, you guys are so blessed! I am so so happy for you, can’t wait for the wedding in the fall! Congratulations!

See you around,

Hey there everyone,

I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog front lately, but I am back – with a bang! :) A number of really cool shoots are on their way to the blog, including this one, so stay tuned! Without a further ado, let’s move on to the stars of the show today – Mari & Ben.

Wow, what an amazing engagement session we had! We started at a local park in Stratford, CT – with an blooming rose garden – all in red (which I totally LOVE!), a beautiful arbor, and a gorgeous stone throne. Boy, that was such fun! We then moved on to West Haven to explore one of the local beaches and have fun on the grass, climb on trees, rocks, and chill out.

Mari was absolutely fantastic in her red dress, and I am going to have to say, I secretly fell in love with Ben’s watch…. pssst, don’t tell anyone! But although clothes and accessories are beautiful things to talk about, this session was about something else, and that was the celebration of Mari and Ben’s love and their future life together. And what a celebration that was! You guys look absolutely fabulous together – and I am so so happy – and honored(!) – to be your wedding photographer. This was such a beautiful start, and I can’t wait for the wedding!

See you there,
