April, 2008
I just wanted to give you a taste of some images I took this week, things are finally settling down and we kinda have a daily routine in place (and I use the term – kinda have a daily routine – very lightly). I am going to be doing a “studio” shoot with the kids this week so check back soon! All else is well at the homestead, we are just enjoying our new life and watching the kids grow everyday. We are truly blessed and very thankful!
Well I hit Elizabeth Park twice in one week with Engagement sessions and needless to say, they were both awesome! It’s amazing the difference 5 days makes with the flowers, Saturday there was 1 lonely tulip (see Pete & Diane post below) and Thursday the was hundreds.
Anyway, I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Lisa & Sirtaz for their e-session Thursday. Wow, that’s all I can say! I was supposed to be making them look good but I think they made me look good. Fun, willing and very spirited is how I would describe them, there wasn’t too much they wouldn’t do. A special thanks to Sirtaz for doing whatever I asked, he’s a trooper. The poor guy had 4 or 5 knee surgeries and was still willing to get down and dirty. As for Lisa, I can only imagine how gorgeous she will be in her wedding dress!
Wedding Date: 5/18/08 – Stay Tuned!
This was the only tulip in bloom in the entire garden, so of course, we had to take advantage!
I had a great time Saturday shooting Pete and Diane for their engagement session. This was the perfect prelude to their wedding at the Branford Mansion. Pete was great, such a ham and pretty much willing to do anything you ask. And as for the beautiful Diane, as the day went on her sarcastic character came out and made for an awesome shoot. I can already tell we are going to have fun shooting their wedding.
I can’t emphasize enough to present and future Brides and Grooms how important these engagement sessions are. Imagine paying thousands of dollars on a photographer to only stress out, wonder or hope that he or she will be personable or able on your wedding day. Not to mention for us, it’s priceless. Our job is to catch those natural moments as they happen and they are much easier to catch when you’ve already built a working relationship with the Bride and Groom. Don’t you think??
I think of my self on the job as 1/3 comedian, 1/3 Photographer and last but not least 1/3 psychologist. It always makes the couple more at ease and relaxed, which allows us to capture your first family heirloom naturally.
Attention all Brides and Grooms of mine, if you haven’t scheduled your e-shoot, please do so soon! I don’t have many dates left available until the fall.
that last photo of the two is so precious it takes my breathe away!
