What brothers do...

Play hopscotch. Go for a wagon ride. Throw rocks in the puddle.

You know.

Boy stuff.

Jill and Bob

I have to commend this couple (esp. Jill)... because they know how to "work the camera!"

I giggle as I type this entry because I love the fact that Jill had the confidence to do whatever she liked in the photographs-- and was quite open to suggestions! The fact that they were both so flexible and patient- gave them great photographs! Jill didn't mind moving around/sitting around in her dress even if it got just a tad dirty! (It also helped that they took photos before the ceremony, to give more time to spend with their guests.)
I will also say to couples that although you may have a very specific timeline you plan to follow for your day, it may not go as you thought. In this case, Jill and Bob left alot of time for photos.. and even though they were running late, the time they allocated was perfect!

The choice of ceremony and reception location was absolutely superb :-)
Ceremony & Reception- St. Clements Castle

Here's just a few samples of their day.
Special thanks to Jake Bergmeier for helping with their wedding!!

Here are Jill and Bob seeing each other for the first time!

I have to thank Jake for this photo pose-- and Bob for "working it"...

I love this picture because it truly reflects how much fun the guests were having!

And last but not least... the bride and groom tearing up the dance floor!

Robin & Brad

Robin and Brad (such a sweet couple) got married this past weekend... and I have to say, well,

I had a blast! I love the fact that we were able to get a few sunset shots (one of my favs above).  I love the fact we were able to get some urban shots in New Haven.. and then some greenery near the water :-)

Church: Christ Church

Reception: Aramantes

Here's a small sample of their day...  I hope you enjoy!

I just happen to capture one of the bridesmaids taking a picture of Robin's hair.. as I was scanning the makeup stand..

I love lilies....

Robin wanted to get a shot of her veil flowing in the wind... 

I thought this was cute because she was trying to get the veil going...  :-)

Robin waiting on the side entrance.. love the lighting on this one....

And a picture of Brad's sweet dance moves with his wife ;-)

Special thanks to Christa for helping to ROCK this wedding!!

April (no showers)....

We were very fortunate to have a day with just overcast.. it looked like rain!

I'm so glad we didn't cancel... since a cloudy day can be a photographer's best friend :-)

For these couples-- I think we had a couple of great engagement sessions... these photos were taken at Elizabeth Park.
