Flowergirls

Okay, everyone knows that I just love Flowergirls!  Maybe it's because I was one in my uncle's wedding years ago and can still relate?  So what if I can remember the gorgeous red silk dress the maid of honor wore? And the real rose petals I carried? And my aunt's incredible tulle skirted dress like it was yesterday and yet I can't remember to return the movies I rented this weekend? 

There is something wonderful and magical being "The Flowergirl" and I just love watching them and of course taking a ridiculous amount of photographs of them too! What can I say??

One of my favorite models!

Just a little sneak peek at the baby and family session I did Saturday morning...she is such a little doll. :)

Connecticut Weddings

Mystic Boats

We have had such a wonderful, busy,and crazy year so far!  I have been informed by a few of my readers and some of my brides too that I haven't update the blog in a while.  I know, I know!  I think about it all the time, and then I swear I get writer's block when I go to start typing! LOL 

Well, we have been going full out getting the weddings edited and if you haven't checked in a while there are new slide shows!  So when you get a minute, check out these super fabulous weddings!

Amy & Joe at Crystal Peak

Cara & Kevin at St. Clement's Castle

Amanda & Stephen at Tunxis Plantation

Marilyn & Michael at Fisher's Island and the Seamen's Inne Boat Shed

Kasey Update!  Also wanted to let you know that Kasey's surgery was a success and she's been working hard at Physical Therapy so she can get back to shooting with me!  It was a pretty complicated procedure on her knee, but should be good as new after a while. :)

This is a pic of her the week before the surgery, shooting a wedding with camera in hand and brace on the leg! 

Kasey at Marilyn's Wedding

I've been having some fun quick wedding shoots with my friend Marie Tyler Wiley, a totally awesome Justice of the Peace. It seems that CT is a destination wedding spot now and I have met many fun couples from Texas, Alabama and Tennessee, it's been great! Although I have to say my southern twang from living down South for a few years growing up does come out when chatting with them and it even surprises me!  Did I really say "Y'all want to go over to those rocks?"   Yep! I did.

Okay... back to editing... Lori, I'm working on your wedding now! :)

Start Spreading the News....

Erin and Larry are married! 

I had some serious fun at the wedding Friday night at the Lake of Isles, it was great!  I'm going to post more, especially seeing that Erin told me that I haven't been keeping up on my blog! Too funny!  So more to come, but here's a little song and dance by the bride and groom when New York, New York was played... what a blast!
