Little Lane finally decided to come in late July, right in the middle of wedding season, in Del Rio Texas. Yes, late JULY in Del Rio, Texas which is right on the Mexican boarder! So as you can imagine it was really hot. We hit record highs the entire time I was there!</p> <p>I took some time to head down there to meet this little guy and we had his very own portrait session. It was so great to meet him while he was so little. I’m so glad I could take the time to see him while he was small. Here are some of my favorites from our session.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly3w4sUvbc1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly3wahk8zb1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly3wdjSmWm1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly3wjdOvXd1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly3wn7OQnY1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly3wsdZdxt1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>Kate and TJ, congratulations to you both!

Then we met up at the ceremony and reception at <a href="http://www.wallingfordtradition.com/">The Tradition Gold Club in Wallingford</a>.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7jo0L2v1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7jziWUp1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7k9k6111qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7kkJr951qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7kxZoAt1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7lddiV41qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7lqTIi41qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7m1G5lH1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7meG44N1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7mqx9xJ1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7ndHBjq1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>I love this picture Jared got of Christina and her dad right before she walked down the aisle.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7nq3DWk1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7p0YJyS1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7pdUyWq1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7pq1Ial1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7q5pgTn1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7qnO2Ib1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7r42aM31qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7ripsKK1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7rtJktz1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7s70OtS1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7sm5tHY1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7t4KkdN1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7tkS8Xx1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7tvP8ec1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7u97faP1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7umhW401qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>Love this detail of Vin’s dad’s car that Jared got below.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7v0DSer1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7w0YjxH1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7wdOXWn1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7wtmD1S1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7x65lpp1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7xlh6hl1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7y0ROzJ1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7yaYbzn1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7ypxnqE1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7zd9d0q1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl7zrku741qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltl807VBrq1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>This was the craziest break dancing I’ve ever seen!

Amanda and Matt are such a great couple and I loved getting to know them through their engagement session and their wedding. Unfortunately for me they live in California so chances of getting together with them after the wedding are slim. You might recognize Matt from his TV debut as the Ginja Ninja on Wipeout.  Oh and I can’t forget to mention that he WON!</p> <p>Sara from <a href="http://www.growingtreephotography.com/blog/">Growing Tree Photography</a> helped me out with this wedding. She did such a great job capturing so many wonderful moments during the day.</p> <p>Dana Nastri and Catie Bane of <a href="http://www.danabartone.com/">Dana Bartone and Company</a> did all the ladies hair and make up and they looked stunning! <a href="http://www.mikeconnolly.com/">Mike Connelley</a> kept everyone partying on the dance floor all night!</p> <p>Here are some of my favorites from the day!</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo2uU6Yw1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo33b0731qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo3c1YBA1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo3mds3M1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo3yiJF11qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo5d7WGR1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo5q8K8C1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo64KTjL1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo6ngpcw1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>Sara’s picture of Matt below.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo6yOzqL1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo7mWWEX1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo8mUV9o1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo95SJG11qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltbo9uxw181qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>These guys were so fun and were always looking for a laugh!

I had no idea what to expect when I got to where Kelly was getting ready other than a few things she had mentioned to me in our meeting. Kelly did not want a typical wedding dress and felt a white dress just didn’t seem right. She found the perfect dress that came all the way from England, hoop skirt and all!</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5dxi5wJm1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5dykS1Jc1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>We headed out to Elizabeth Park for the ceremony.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5dyuUMXe1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>Chad and his guys looked great with their hats on and they each had a great pocket watch that was a gift from Kelly and Chad!</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5dz6nZJx1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>I love this shot Jared got of Kelly so excited to walk down the rose garden path to meet Chad.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5dzi3xn31qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5dzx0ABe1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e0afhRy1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e0k9jhi1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e0yi8o61qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e1cI1F41qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e1plyBr1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e22C5kw1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>I just loved the rich color in her flowers, so different and beautiful.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e2gxcvG1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e2t8HIK1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e35qUGV1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e3gCCnd1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e3uDds71qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e46RxfI1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>We stopped at a cemetery near by for some quick pictures.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e4itFcD1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e4un9tl1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e58KNy61qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e5isYXe1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>Even the cake topper fit the theme of the day!</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e5uTVQZ1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls5e66iZUV1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>Kelly and Chad, thanks so much for having us at your wedding!

We started out on the Bridge of Flowers in Simsbury where Troy actually proposed.</p> <p>These two were so cute together! Troy had Sarah laughing the entire time.

So what better way to show that off than during their engagement session. We headed to Southbury Falls State Park on what felt like the hottest day of the summer. We were all ready to jump in the falls when the session was over! Here are my favorites from the shoot.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqcgwdduPQ1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqcgzmuaSd1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqcgzxAx3P1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch09ehO31qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch0j1uGK1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch0s4mVi1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch12Y0Z31qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch1b67Zi1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch1n1yW11qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch1xmPef1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch278bBR1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch2hJzMF1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch2uc34F1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqch35WATn1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>Erin and Alex, thanks so much for a fun time!</p>http://blog.halesstudio.com/post/9260346546http://blog.halesstudio.com/post/9260346546Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:37:37 -0400<p>Well here we are August 1st and I’m just now blogging some May weddings. Its been a very busy summer for us here at Hales Studio. BUT we’ve been loving every minute of this 2011 wedding season. We’ve had a TON of great couples and wonderful moments during their weddings and I couldn’t be happier with this season.</p> <p>So on to Brooke and Justin! Their wedding was held at <a href="http://www.lounsburyhouse.com/">The Lounsbury House</a> in Ridgefield, CT memorial day weekend and it was beautiful. Brooke and Justin are the sweetest couple and we couldn’t have been more happy shooting their wedding.

I’m so excited about this post because it’s for two people that I care about so deeply. My sister and I did everything together growing up and I couldn’t be happier to see her become a mother in a few weeks.</p> <p>I headed to Pennsylvania while Kate and TJ made it all the way from Texas for the weekend. (Notice the authentic cowboy boots!) We were busy with a baby shower but managed to squeeze in a photoshoot. The light is just so perfect in all of these images I couldn’t have been more happy with them. Hopefully I’ll be heading down to Texas for a newborn session in July!</p> <p>Here are my favorites from the day. Enjoy!</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ln7dzxHmwx1qaqao7.jpg"/></p> <p>We found this fence across the street from my Grandmother’s house.
