Something new to try!

We've all seen the traditional bridal workouts offered for getting "in shape" for the big day, but I've come across something that is truly different. How about learning Swordsmanship?  How cool is that!  It's an intense aerobic workout using a wooden sword with lots of focus on core and upper body too.  Send me a note if you want to know where the classes are!!

Bridezilla

I have bragging rights.

Not once, in all the years that I've been shooting weddings have I ever had a Bridezilla. Not kidding. Not one. Ever. So when I thought about this post, I tried to find a cool picture of 'Bridezilla" and I couldn't even find that. :)

But I did find lots of stuff about the show, which I've never watched... I don't think I want to... and this hysterical picture of an actual wedding cake that someone had. (Oh, and I will say it wasn't one of my brides that had it either!!)

Blogging...!

I set a goal that I would blog every day for 10 days.... I made it a week, I think... and then there was the weekend, and shooting a wonderful wedding and then I didn't get back to it for a couple days...you know how it is, but I'm going to try again!  Wish me luck!

and sometimes it rains...

Last weekend Joan and Ron got married, they came all the way from Texas!  Such a great couple and honestly, Joan could not have cared less what the weather was like.  But it did rain and we really wanted to try and get some outside shots at the Mystic Seaport. So in the rain and in the dark, juggling umbrellas and watching for puddles, off we went!  Here's one shot that I really like, even though I've played with it a little (gotta love Photoshop for something like this).  :)

Amber's Wedding and "Is that really Bruce?"!

Tomorrow I have the privilege of photographing my friend's daughter's wedding at Connecticut College!  Her mom and I have been friends for a long time and is the events planner at the college, so cool!  This is going to be such fun!  Oh, I should add that my daughter is an alumni of the school and got married there a few years ago too, it's such a gorgeous campus and Harkness Chapel is one of my favorite places. Okay, gotta get the gear ready!  :) 

And before I forget.... no, that's not Bruce, although everyone is writing and asking if it is!  Do you really think he would have frogs on his monitor??  LOL   Another game tonight!  GO SOX!!

Poor Bruce!

Bruce was doing some work around the house and came down with the worst case of poison ivy ever!  So no picture on this post, obviously... but send him some love if ya can!

Such a cool idea!

I've been editing another gorgeous wedding and will have a new slide show posted soon but I came across this photo and I remember taking it because I thought it was just the coolest thing!  I don't know about you, but I've got a fountain like this, that is loaded with sentimental value, but I can't see running it and I don't want to pack it away either. This was just an awesome idea and thought I'd share it with you!
