Waterfront Views....

Congratulations Megan & Seth!

They had simply gorgeous weather on a Saturday. (July has been a great month for weather so far!) I had met Megan & Seth just one year ago during their engagement session-- they seriously are just a cute, fun couple! They had their engagement session right by the water... and their reception would be no different (The Hartford Jaycees Boathouse). What a great venue.... so cozy and quaint.... great views.... and, with the reception... being from NJ myself and growing up in the 80's.. I loved the music! ;-)

Here are just a quick few samples of their day-- I couldn't decide which ones to post (there's a few of Seth looking at Megan in admiration, the formal group shots at City Hall (one of my favs is looking down at them), wide angle shot of the two of them looking up in City Hall, Boathouse formals with friends by the water, the "sock" shot, oh, and Megan... I caught you somewhere you weren't suppose to be!! LOL!! No worries, it's not bad!! LOL!! -- so I just grabbed a few to post ;-)

Enjoy!

A gorgeous, gorgeous day....

Congratulations Pam & Scott!

The Log Cabin in Holyoke, MA has beautiful views to the mountains- and when the ceremony is outdoors in gorgeous weather, pictures come out spectacular! Pam & Scott had beautiful July weather -- the guests were able to mingle outside in the courtyard area under the baby blue skies!! Pam & Scott were so great with taking photos "if I saw a shot!"-- yes, on this beautiful day like that it happened a few times ;-) I loved the swing at the front of the Log Cabin where we took a few beautiful (and fun) pictures!! Spot color really worked nicely on a few photos for this event since the blue skies simply stood out :-)

They shared something so beautiful...

Congratulations Carolina & Tom!

Another emotional wedding. I am in such awe how so many weddings can differ-- from the dress, to the location-- but most importantly, the meaning. This wedding had tears of happiness and sadness (I have to remember to keep some tissues with me!)

I had to show some pictures of the bride touching up her makeup-- one of the things I encourage the bride and groom to do is to live in the moment of their day. Some of the most beautiful pictures are captured by the simplest things :-) Her dress was simply gorgeous-- I couldn't resist putting in a shot of her dress flowing as she danced. I also felt a little artsy and wanted to give them a different type of portrait. I overexposed the shot and then saturated the colors to give it a more of a contrast.

They just kept smiling....

Congratulations Christine & Ben!

I have to admit.. this is the first couple that would turn their heads to look at me taking pictures!! LOL!! Christine and Ben are a cute, energetic couple (fyi- Ben takes pictures himself!) who just had lots of fun on their day! I had to search for a few "photojournalistic" photos to post since they always smiled at the camera!! :-)
