Congrats Sylvia and Silvio!!!

What a FUN wedding! I just knew this wedding would be so fun from the moment I met Sylvia and her Mom Angela. They were so passionate about the Portuguese/Italian wedding that they were planning that I was looking forward to it all year! Well, the wedding took place on Saturday and it was absolutely amazing and filled with more fun than I had ever imagined. From reunions that took place with people from across the globe, to the 236 guest count, dancing all night long (and I mean all night as in 10 hours of dancing!), to meals after meals from seafood to chicken to roast pig to clams and even lobster and a full venetian table, this party was rockin the house! Sylvia and Silvio were so easy to work with and they just beamed the whole day. It was truly an honor and privilege to work with such a fantastic group. Thank you for your hospitality and for choosing us to capture such a special day!

Kylah and Mike ~ Engagement fun

Last Tuesday I had so much fun shooting Kylah and Mike for their engagement shoot. We went to Hartford's Bushnell park and also scooted over to the train station for a few pictures. Mike is from Brooklyn and the couple plans to eventually move there so we had to include some pics using the NY sign at the station. They really rocked the shoot and were totally digging the model thing! Mike has a yellow corvette just like his Dad did at his age so we totally used that too. We even got to go into the water fountain!!! Sooo fun!

These really Are the Sweetest days

Summer days are filled with fun...when you actually have time to enjoy them! These past few weeks I've been so caught up in a tight schedule between the 2 kids home with me for summer vacation, weddings, more weddings and the terrible house cleaning that lurks in every corner and makes you feel guilty about doing anything else. When hubby came home after work he so sweetly offered to take the kids out to the park so I could work. I accepted the offer without a second thought and got straight to work. About an hour later I hear the door swing open slamming against the wall, "MAMA" shouts Zack. "Mama, mama, mama, where are you?" "I'm on the computer," I call back. He comes racing in like an elephant about to fall through the floor and hands me half of an old Easter eggshell filled with clover. "I got this for you," he says. I just hugged him for a long time and realized just how sweet these days really are...

Julie & Chris - מזל טוב‎ (Mazal Tov!)

I was privaledged to have the opportunity to spend the day with Julie and Chris at Julie's parents gorgeous home in Roxbury which is where the wedding took place. The love that filled these two families was just unmatched and it was very clear how Julie and Chris learned their art of absolute unconditional love. The most amazing part of the day's festivities was the exchange of kind words and memories of the couple. This took place in so many forms from the many toasts, to the childhood songs sang throughout the reception and even the handmade quilted huppa that each guest personalized with a square of their own designing. The location itself overlooked sooo far, I can't even tell you. It was just breathtaking. Roxbury was the town that the couple met in while Julie rode horses at Chris' parents horse farm. It was love at first sight and they've been together ever since. Their love for animals is only the first thing that brought them together and will continue to bring them adventures! Chris is attending veterinary school in Australia so the couple is moving there in 2 weeks and Julie is very excited to join her new husband on this voyage. Their wedding cake was themed after their love of animals and the fireworks closed the evening just perfectly for a 4th of July weekend wedding! Congratulations Julie and Chris!
