Its been a CRAZY summer and my poor blog has been neglected! I am trying to play catch up!

I couldn’t help but put this sneak peek out to share with everyone today of a great engagement session I did earlier this summer. Yes, there is a horse and yes, it was a ton of fun! The light was just amazing and what a beautiful evening it was. I can’t wait to share the rest with you but for now this will have to do.

More lovely pictures to come, I promise!

A few weeks ago I posted a sneak peek of Lauren and Bill’s Engagement Shoot at Buttonwood Farm. The sunflowers are probably all gone now, so I am very glad that we could squeeze in an engagement session! I had never been here before this year and it was worth the drive. It was absolutely gorgeous!

I just love this image so much. Its my new favorite!

I love how the sunflowers follow the sun. So crazy!

We actually had finished shooting for the night when I saw this amazing sunset and made them pose a little longer for me. I just couldn’t pass up that sunset with a camera close by!

Thanks Lauren and Bill for a fun night at a beautiful location. I can’t wait for your wedding!

A few weeks ago I had the honor of photographing Sara and Amnon’s wedding for Danielle Fuller of Beyond the Lens Photography. This was such a great wedding with great people. Sara and Amnon decided to do a “First Look.” I’ve never seen a better face than the one Amnon made right before turning around to see Sara. It was priceless.

Sara had the longest train I’ve ever seen! It must have been 7 feet long. I just love this shot of the wind taking it and showing off how long it is.

Many thanks to the groomsman below as my trusty hand model for this shot.

I usually don’t eat the desserts at weddings but I couldn’t resist with this dessert table! The cookies were amazing!

Sara had a smile on her face all day long. Even at the end of the night when she must have been exhausted she was still smiling and so sweet.

Thanks Sara and Amnon for a great time. Congratulations and best wishes to you both!

Nashira and Chris were married on one of my favorite summer holidays, July 4th! This day was a hot one! I was glad to be shooting again for Danielle Fuller of Beyond the Lens Photography. You can check out her blog post from this wedding here.

Once again I got to spend some time with the guys getting ready before the ceremony.

I just loved these pink flowers! I couldn’t get over how beautiful they were.

More of their fun details!

Nashira and Chris cut their cake outside and had sparklers for everyone. What a fun idea to incorporate into a July 4th wedding!

The kids were having a blast helping me get these cool shots below.

Nashira and Chris, congratulations to you both. I had such a great time spending July 4th with you both!

This summer has been so crazy! I’m sure that all my photographer friends can relate. As I’m getting ready to leave for a wedding in Pennsylvania I just wanted to put up this one image. On Monday night I went to Buttonwood Farm for an engagement shoot. It was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t help but share this picture with you all. If you get the chance to head out there this week its worth the drive. And the sunflowers are sold to help support Make-A-Wish! What a great reason to head out there.

I can’t wait to put more up later! Enjoy!

Ah, yet another great wedding assisting for Carla Ten Eyck. I’m starting to get a little spoiled with all these great weddings and amazing details. Erin and Joe were no exception. I think you will agree.

I just love this picture of Erin getting her dress on. So lovely.

Erin showing off her blue suede shoes!

This was the first of many weddings this summer with hydrangeas. They are one of my favorites and I couldn’t help but take a few pictures of them. Just gorgeous! I also love the little dove that Erin put on all the flowers for her girls. So sweet.

I love this picture of Erin and her dad. She was so happy when she saw Joe, it was truly wonderful to see them together.

More of their lovely details.

Congratulations Erin and Joe! I had a wonderful time with Carla and Mike at your wedding. Thank you for allowing us to spend the day with you. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Earlier this month Jared and I spent some time with Sarah and Andrew our 10/10/10 couple. We had such a great time with them. They were so fun and up for anything. It was the strangest day weather wise but we made it work despite the rain.

We started at this cute little ice cream shop in Wethersfield. What’s an engagement shoot without a little ice cream?

I just love this picture that Jared got of the two of them.

Next we went to the cove in Wethersfield. You can see the clouds coming in this shot before it started to rain.

A little rainy sunset.

Andrew kept Sarah laughing the entire time!

Sarah and Andrew, thank you so much for a great time! We are so happy for you both. Jared and I can’t wait for your wedding!

Last month I assisted for Carla Ten Eyck at Alicia and Jack’s wedding in Hartford. They were so much fun and up for anything. After their first look Carla took us to the Carousel in downtown Hartford. The colors were amazing and matched their wedding, personalities and styles to a T!

The bridal party were such great sports that day to ride the carousel!

After a few rides on the carousel and walking up the ninety six steps to the top of the Soldiers and Sailors Arch in Hartford Carla had Jack spin Alicia! I thought we might see her breakfast but she held it down.

Alicia taking a break after the carousel ride, spinning and up and down the arch (in heals!). All this and she hadn’t even walked down the aisle yet!

The cutest little flower girl watching over the balcony as she waits for the ceremony to start. So CUTE!

Alicia taking a breather before walking down the aisle.

Congratulations Alicia and Jack! I had a GREAT time at your wedding and I wish you both all the best.

I had such a great time with Sarah and Andrew last week at their engagement shoot in Wethersfield, CT. I just had to share these two photos with you all!

Once again I had the best time with Danielle Fuller of Beyond the Lens Photography as her second photographer at Matt and Renee’s wedding.

While Danielle gets all the details of Renee getting ready, I’m with the guys capturing all their exciting details! I loved the green color that Renee picked out for them. I changed up one of my favorite shots of the bride with her flowers by having the groom hold them before the ceremony.

Before the ceremony I had some time to get the guys outside of the church. I just love how calm and collected Matt looks in this picture.

Here are some more gorgeous details! Can you tell they are my favorite?!

Matt’s brother, the best man, made the cake for them. I even got to try a little of it and it was fantastic!

Croquet and boccie ball games were great for the guests, especially the little ones!

I love these photos of Renee and her dad dancing. They are just so sweet.

Congratulations Matt and Renee!
