Tips, Wedding
I wish I could call all these wedding issues, “quirky little pet peeves of a photographic artist”, but the truth is they are just things nobody ever thinks about except those of us deep in the mix of it all. Over 615 Weddings later, I’ve compiled a list of things which I can say generally […]

A ceremony that opened with a toast, a friend who surprised everyone as officiant, flamingos on a private island and a pool jump in full wedding attire.
Engagement
We recently got the chance to create some magic of our own at one of Connecticut’s all-time favorite State Parks, (Eolia Mansion at Harkness Park). Not only was the light at this sunset shoot magical and “Golden”, but Kate & Chris’ Golden-Doodle was just as perfect as the rest of their engagement se

Check out Krystal and Joe’s vintage wedding at the ever classic Palace Theater in Waterbury, CT. From the use of grandma’s antique mirror to the brittle early century newspapers; Krystal left no detail untouched. You have to see the love of these two reflected throughout their whole theme. Ugh.

This past April we had the distinct privilege of shooting Heather and Josh’s wedding in the Dominican Republic at the Royalton Punta Cana. The week long festivities and nearly 180 guests made this a vacation and celebration for everyone to remember.
Wedding
Anytime I have the opportunity to photograph a military member’s wedding, I take it as one of the highest privileges I get to perform. What if both the bride and the groom serve? Well…. lets just say twice as nice is not nearly enough gratitude.
Engagement
Ah… the beauty that is New York. From the skyscrapers to the subways. I love so many parts about photographing an engagement session in Manhattan. Grand Central Station is perhaps the most iconic location in my opinion. When I see this building, I immediately see a vintage photograph, perhaps of a b

Jen and Drew’s Wedding at the Liberty House Restaurant was nothing short of spectacular. What was more amazing the grand firework display overlooking the Manhattan Skyline or the gourmet donut station?
Engagement
The mansion at Harkness Memorial Park is named Eolia Mansion. Eolia’ is actually named for the island home of the Greek god of winds. Perhaps when the Harkness’ bought the property and planned to build, it might have been really windy there in Waterford. Diana and Brian were looking for a diverse la

I had no idea. All the times I’ve been to Block Island for engagement or wedding photos; I’ve travelled via the ferry. The long… slow… ferry… Don’t get me wrong, it is a perfectly good way to get there, but now that I’ve flown there… things will forever be different. Wow. The ONLY way to […]
