Wedding Day Sprinkles in Connecticut

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

jude-and-phil-wedding-slideshow0021-web1Hey there…….I do believe that these are signs of “the-lucky-I-do-er’s”…..a few sprinkles on your wedding day, something borrowed, something blue and a penny in your shoe. I somehow talked Jude and Phillip into striking a few poses on their amazingly beautiful property and the location for their ceremony  last week and party. The ceremony was very sweet, Phillips daughters “first-man” toast brought tears to my eyes  and the party…well…it just rocked. I loved every minute, the food, the guests and Jude’s  killer  sense of taste and style with …well……I’d have to say just about everything…… made for a great shoot. I am so happy for the lucky  and fun couple.

Congratulations!!  xoxoxo

Madly in love….

The “Money” Wedding Shoot…shooting with the Canon 5D

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

kristen-shootingMe (above) photographing Laura and Derek’s wedding  last weekend at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown, New York. Us….photographer industry insiders call this shot the “money” shot. It is a MUST….all this works really well when you have a great day, an awesome looking smiling/ happy couple…and a super fast Canon…that fires a zillion frames a second!..

Oh and being able to walk, talk, direct,  shoot and chew gum backwards…is a plus!

walking-down-the-isleLaura and Derek (above) are they cute or what? Not only that they said the sweetest words during their ceremony to each other that I have ever heard. No a dry eye in the place…wow…talk about romantic!! Love that! It is also such a sight and blessing to see two people totally suited for each other on their wedding day about to start their life together.

Wishing you both the best forever!  xoxoxo

I Love Shooting Still Lifes…

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

kristen-webMe (above) Yes….I love shooting still life images at a wedding…..love shooting them…period. I guess…I have an eye for details and I find myself drawn to them, arranging them, making them happen just about everywhere.  I look at it as part of the wedding day story. I love objects and things…and go mad for beautiful flowers, shoes, jewelry, art, houses, fabrics, silver, china, glasses……etc…need I go on? I like it up close and personal! I love stuff!!
