Elise and Justin Married in Famington CT

Once again I did some second shooting for Eric of Raw Photo Design. Elise and Justin had a perfect wedding day. Great friends, wonderful fall weather...and of course each other!
My day started with the guys, and they were busy from the start. I don't want to insinuate that there was a lot of drinking going on...I'll let the pictures do the talking!

A big thank you to Chris the bartender....






Justin Looking to kool for skool!

I thought my ring shot should reflect what was going on throughout the day....:)

This is Jonah...the ring bearer, busting some moves. Wow was this kid tired...and so sweet about it!!!!!

Jonah and his mom being entirely too sweet!!!


This is Ella the flower girl with her mom...again too sweet!

Ummm...the party bus.....After the reception I was invited to go with Elise and Justin, and some friends to Mohegan Sun on a party bus. Now I'm always up for fun....BUT....I couldn't bring my big'ole camera into Mohegan....BUMMER.....So here are some shots of the party bus. I want to say a special thank you to my bus buddies Darin and John. We were all assigned a buddy when we all got off the bus because Mohegan is huge (yes even when you go with 25 people you can walk around for hours and never see someone you know) and we didn't want to lose anyone! John and Darin made sure I didn't get lost.

I also owe a HUGE "I'm an ass!" to Justin. On the way home him and I got into a debate about a quote from "Anchor Man"...after much research, I am sorry to say...I was way wrong. And I promised if I was wrong I would post it on my blog for everyone to see.....I was wrong, it's not Puma parts...It is for sure "Made from real panther parts."

I don't know why they put the bars on a party bus. Eveyone inevitably tries to do a back flip. It's like a moth to a flame!

I can't really say anything else about what Garret is doing in this picture.


Andy insisted that I take a picture with him and every person on the bus...Here's ONE. I have a ton....:)



Garret, Darin, Andy, and Justin......you guys are too kool for skool here too!

Trash The Dress in Manhattan NY!!!!

I was so excited to get a call from Eric of Raw Photo Design on Friday asking if I was interested in doing a Trash The Dress session in Manhattan! Are you kidding me????....DUHHHHH
Meet Ilene and Eric. They are the coolest couple ever. One of those couples that have serious chemistry. We started their session in Grand Central, and moved on to the subway, Central Park, and a few other spots around NYC! Thank you guys so much for Trashing The Dress!!!!


Here they are in Grand Central



And Eric and I taking fab subway shots as we watch for the po po!


Central Park......

"Lady in The Water"'ish????

Just a note on the editing....I tried a few different things on these, just playing around in photo shop and light room a bit...

Meridith and Kevin

Meet Meredith and Kevin. I had the pleasure of second shooting once again for Eric from Raw Photo Design. Meredith and Kevin are very good friends with Eric and his wife, so naturally this was an important wedding. I had no idea how much fun it was going to be!!!!
I had 8 groomsmen to contend with from the beginning (they put me on the roof of the church so I could get a better angle.......seriously what I won't do for a shot!) so needless to say things got a bit out of hand. Then there was crazy light on the gulf course, insane details at the reception, a live band, and a freakin photo booth....are you kidding me! It was the most fun I have ever had shooting a wedding! Thanks to everyone for hanging in there (Yes Rob, I know I was mean for a minute) as we navigated the day...and thanks Eric for the opportunity to shoot this fabulous wedding with you!



Here are the guys taking a travel break from the trolley in between the hotel and the church...hey when you gotta go...you gotta go!



Here they are at the church..being goofs!



Here is the shot from the roof....I'm still cleaning black gunk from my feet and elbows...but whatever...


This is Katie the flower girl, helping out with the bride's dress.
