CT Wedding Photographer Val Nanovsky

Hi folks,

Sarah & Scott’s engagement session was an epic one – in a number of ways. We had so many wonderful photo ops – waterfalls, parks, trails…  And along the way, I got to know two incredible people – with big hearts and passion for the outdoors and all kinds of cute pets. Wow, what can I say…

The last part of the photo shoot took a slightly different direction from what I traditionally do at e-sessions (outdoor/green, that is). Let me just say that there is nothing sexier in the world than an airplane.  …Well, there actually is, but that’s a different story :-) I always wanted to incorporate planes into my wedding photography and this time things lined up perfectly.

HUGE thanks to Mary Caravella and her husband for so graciously making things happen for us at the Skylark Airpark in Ellington/Somers. Kudos! Here’s what came out:

I am so so excited about Sarah and Scott and can’t wait for the wedding. You guys were awesome!

See you around,

- Val

Ever wondered about the connection between wedding photography and airplanes? Think of me and you would have a pretty valid answer.

I’ve been obsessed with planes ever since I was a little kid. I totally love them. My mom used to work near the airport and whenever I was with her at work I would sit and watch the planes taking off and landing for hours. After that I would paint them and impress everybody.

Then there’s my job. Every once in a while I do a destination wedding and simply can’t resist not to snap a couple of quick shots through the plane window or at the airport. I sometimes go to Bradley International and take the camera with me – just for fun. I’ve been taking airplane pictures for a really long time and have amassed a huge collection of airplane photographs, organized in categories, sub-categories and sub-sub categories.

Today is Airplane Day here at Valdo-Bloggo-Rama.

The topic is Airplane Window Photos and I am starting with the most casual airplane shots I have. There’s the window, the wing, sometimes the engines, and then there’s an endless plethora of shapes awash in color – but sometimes something as simple as that can look so powerful, right? I hope these photos touch you the same way they continue to touch me.  Dig in. Much more on this topic is coming your way pretty soon.
