Congrats to Claudia and Hector on their upcoming wedding. Claudia and Hector recently moved to Charlotte and co-ordinating the engagement shoot was a little tough due to that. The good news is that it finally happened.
The location was Wickham park and Constitution plaza in downtown Hartford.
These are my favorite shots! You can view more at:

Rachna and Rob's wedding was truly a special one. They had a beautiful traditonal Hindu ceremony which was accompanied by a Catholic one.
This couple radiates such a positive energy when around them its just such a great feeling.
Here are some photos from their engagement and the wedding. Enjoy.
The last photo of the little girl who catched a bouquet is hilarious!
Wow, its been a long long time since I posted something on here. Its been ridiculously busy with the wedding season and the magazine. I promise I will post here more often... :)
Here, we have my most prized possession, The Panerai PAM 104. I absolutely love the Original Panerai Rubber strap so here it is outfitted as such. The leather straps are only taken out in winter. :)
I purchased this about 4 years ago after dreaming about it for the last 10 years!
This was a fun photoshoot. Below is the photoshoot of Kristoph who mind you is one of the top ballroom dancers and instructors in the US! What a great honor!
These came out fabulous!!
Good luck Kristoph!! Rock the media with these photos! :)

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.

I was honored to photograph this beautiful couple's engagement shoot which took place in the historic town of Essex, CT. Tedessa and Jeff, danced and laughed while I captured this extremely personal day for them. It was right after a heavy rainy night and the weather was absolutely beautiful. This is an early morning photoshoot!

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 - http://www.studiocontempo.com/marycate&steve/
These came out phenomenal!
