Kristen & Jack Engagement

Updates have been slow as we were lost shopping for the holidays. :)

Hope everyone had a great holiday and we are looking forward to ringing in the new year with more frequent blog updates.

Below is the last engagement shoot for 2007. Jack and Kristen are veterans of the wedding scene specifically in the music arena! Their wedding is watched by quite a few magazines as they have been in this scene for a very very long time! so naturally the expectations are way up there. No pressure Jack and Kristen! Really! :)

The photoshoot took place at a vineyard in Wallingford.

Mary-Cate & Steve Wedding - 9.21.2007

Mary-Cate and Steve got married at the Goodwin Hotel in Hartford, Connecticut.
As a wedding photojournalist, I am one of the few people who actually really feels the tension and stress before the Bride and Groom's vows. The stress actually is always in the air but let me tell you about this particular wedding. There was none. I walked in to Mary-Cate's sisters house where she was getting ready in Glastonbury. As soon as I walk in, it was probably one of the most calmest places I have ever been to for photography. It was sooo quiet!! I started snapping some photos here and there and eventually made my way into the Bride's room where she was getting ready and to my surprise, Mary-Cate goes "Oh, you are here. Good!" Thats about all she said with no nervousness about the big day and then the photoshoot started which came out fantastic...see below!
Steve and Missy are a very easy going and extremely calm couple and it truly shows in these photos.
I know its difficult for the bride and groom to listen to other people on the big day but being relaxed and calm brings out the best photos of them..period!
Here is an example of what being relaxed results in and it is amazing -
