Pamela & Mike

What a year its been for me. After graduating with a degree in photojournalism in 2004, it didn't take long for friends and family to start asking me to shoot their weddings. Competent with a camera and gear, I obliged and found that I really enjoyed this type of photography. Last year was my first shooting weddings professionally. I did about a half dozen weddings to supplement my income from my newspaper job. This year I doubled my bookings and worked really hard to get to a new level with my photography. Overall I think I made great strides, but with every wedding there are things I wish I would have done differently.

Last Saturday was my final wedding for 2007. Kudos to the bride and groom for braving the weather for portraits outside. We were getting the remnants of Hurricane Noel so the winds were something else. It was also November in New England so the weather wasn't exactly warm. I feel like I ended on a good note with some things to carry forth for next year.

I'd love to hear feedback from you all.

From now on, it'll probably be random photos of portraits and my life :)

Lara & Josh's Wedding

Wow. I can't believe it's been a month since I last updated this. Sorry about that! After a crazy summer and early fall of weddings, October was pretty calm. I shot Josh and Lara's Wedding last Saturday. It Poured (with a capital P) the entire day. It was the first time I wasn't able to take any shots outside. We made it work though. Josh and Lara didn't let Mother Nature dampened their spirits and it turned out to be a great day.

Congratulations you two! I hope you're having an awesome time in Hawaii.

Brian & Cristina

I had the pleasure of shooting Brian and Cristina's wedding last Saturday. It was a blast! The bride (as you'll see below) had a smile plastered on her face the entire day. The groom wasn't into getting his picture taken as much as I wanted, but few are :) Nevertheless, I had a great time and I think they'll be happy with the results!

Nash Wedding

Natalie and I shot our last wedding together for 2007 yesterday :( I can't tell you how nice it has been to shoot together. She is one of the only people I know who I can talk to about PhotoShop actions and lighting with for hours. Literally hours. It's probably a good thing that she's so far away because if she was in Connecticut I'd never get anything done!

The wedding yesterday was a real blast (except for the bride and groom's Rolls Royce breaking down and then having to make their grand entrance to their wedding in Nat's Toyota Matrix). Julie and Ben are a case where opposites attract perfectly. The day was lovely and both the bride and groom seemed to be walking on clouds the entire day.

Rosie @ Elizabeth Park

Rosemary turned 1! This past weekend mom, dad, daughter, and I packed up and traveled to Hartford for a photo session. She was in such a great mood and the lighting was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better shoot.
