On a beautiful sunny day, two people shared whispers and giggles on the alter as they promised to love each other until the end of time.  A love with laughter is one that is sure to last a long time!  With a twinkle in their eyes and a kiss in their hearts, they held hands and walked eagerly into this new chapter in their book of life.  What an honor we had to capture such a special day.  Thank you Kathleen and Kevin.  Here are some images from Kathleen and Kevin’s wedding day.

As I sat at my computer screen editing away and scheduling my life, I felt a sudden urge to make some changes.  As some may know, I was dealt an interesting and unique deck in life and becoming a wedding and portrait photographer was something that I stumbled upon by chance.  Or really by God’s grace as it has been one of the greatest blessings my life has seen.  I taught myself the ins and outs of the profession and through practice, research and more practice, got to where I was and was very very happy there.  But on this one day as I sat at the computer screen, I said to myself, “I want more.  More for me, more for my kids, and more for my clients.”  I decided in that instant to go back to college and complete my degree in art and photography.  A degree that had been hanging over my head for 12 years.  A degree that I feared my children would tell me that they would never get because I hadn’t.  A degree that would challenge my photography ideas and teach me new things to make me a better photographer for, well, you!  After 2 years of studying, I am pleased to say that I did it!  I just graduated this past May with my art degree and I feel so much better equipped to create art and beautiful images for all of the fantastic people who trust me to do just that.  In those 2 years, I dappled with many topics ranging from photojournalism, conceptual art, movement, and even travel to Italy!  I wanted to share some of my adventures with all of you.  Here is a very small sampling of what my experience taught me.  Enjoy!  It’s so good to be back!

Last night we had a chance to Photograph Melina & Alejandro’s Wedding!  The timeless ceremony took place at St. Augustine Church in Hartford, and the reception was held at the elegant Bond Ballroom overlooking downtown Hartford. Here is a sneak peak, with many more to come!  So excited to show you more!

We had the honor of working with the family when Deanne’s sister was married a few years back.  When we got the call for Deanne’s wedding, we were so excited to have the opportunity to work with this fun family again.  A day filled with love and emotions greeted Deanne and Dan for their wedding day.  The hustle and bustle of the morning melted away the second they saw each other as Deanne walked down the aisle with her Dad.  The day flowed so smoothly, perfectly choreographed and there was so much loving emotion right to the end.  Congrats Dee and Dan!  We are so happy for you two!
