Allison & Keith : Wedding at Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown, CT :: Slideshow!

Portraits of Allison and Keith were slowly headed toward disaster. Little did they know that they planned their special day on National Accident and Traffic Day. We should have arrived at the Wadsworth in minutes when it really took hours. So….no time for portraits of the couple together. Fast forward to mid-reception….

Eric: “Listen guys….we have no pictures of you two together. You realize that, right?”
Keith & Allison: “I know…let’s just do some ones outside in the dark….can we do that?”
Eric: “HELL YEAH!!!! Let’s do it!!!!”

What you see is the result of some night-time scrumptiousness, a lone video light, and all around hotness by Keith and Allison.

You guys rock and I wish you all the best in your new life together. Thanks so much to Megan LaBarbera for shooting this one with me.

Kerri & Shannon : Wedding at Le Chateau in South Salem, NY :: Sneak Peek!

Kerri and Shannon were absolutely amazing to work with this past weekend at their wedding at Le Chateau in South Salem, NY. It was a torrential downpour but that didn’t stop them from being up for anything and doing an amazing job with all of their portraits. Hope you guys are getting lots of sun in Mexico!

Kerri and Shannon had an awesome Raw Booth at their reception that needs a separate post all on its own! Stay tuned for that one in a few days!

Jennifer & Shaun : Wedding at Water’s Edge Resort in Westbrook, CT :: Slideshow!

Jennifer & Shaun’s wedding back in September was quite possibly the wettest day of the year. It was a torrential downpour but luckily the Water’s Edge Resort has plenty of awesome spots to shoot inside the venue. We only got yelled at about 5 times….”You can’t take pictures here!” But I usually get scolded at least 3 or 4 times per wedding anyway so no sweat….

We had an insane amount of time for portraits so these two have hundreds of shots to choose from…here are just a few of my faves….

I always show the bride and the girls getting dressed. This time Shaun and his brother get the spotlight!

Kelly & Chris : Wedding at Fox Hill Inn in Brookfield, CT : Sneak Peek!

I’ve been receiving anonymous death threats by many people because my “sneak peeks” don’t have enough images……my argument is….well, it is a peek, right?? Anyway, so I’ve been slowly but steadily increasing the number of images so Kelly & Chris get a gigantor (pronounced JI – GAN – TOR) sneak peek post from their AWESOME wedding on Saturday at the Fox Hill Inn in Brookfield, (my hometown) CT.

My wife and I actually had our reception at the Fox Hill….. six…… oops, I mean…three….no wait…..seven….no, ummm….. four…yeah, that’s it…four years ago. Chris didn’t shove Kelly’s head in the cake like I managed to do to my lovely bride at my reception but hey…….the maneuver if for the only for the really stupid brave :)

Enough about me, let’s talk about how AMAZING Kelly and Chris are! Kelly and her bridesmaids got ready at the home Kelly grew up in…

Dawn & Stefanos : Wedding at The Surf Club in New Rochelle, NY : Slideshow!

I absolutely loved spending the day with Dawn and Stefanos’ family and friends back in September. They had the most loving and outgoing family that I’ve ever had the pleasure to photograph and their reception at the Surf Club in New Rochelle was an absolute BLAST! And a huge thanks to Dawn’s Matron of Honor for stealing a lamb chop for my most favoritest ring shot ever!

So, the first thing I usually do when I walk into a wedding venue is spot the most OBVIOUS picture location and run as far as I can away from it. The last thing I want to do is take the same exact picture that every single other photographer has done in the same venue. But the guys at the Surf Club MADE ME take a picture of Dawn and Stefanos on their stair case in front of the chandelier. It was the funniest thing ever…I couldn’t NOT do it. They wouldn’t let me…. so…this shot is for them :)

Jackie & Drew : Wedding at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills :: Sneak Peek!

Jackie and Drew tore down The Barns on Saturday night (literally…the lights came down and everything!) I absolutely loved shooting at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills….the cool lighting, the great staff, the amazing food, and of course the location is absolutely gorgeous. Just our luck….the weather didn’t hold out in time for us to take some outdoor pictures there but we did get to take some outdoor shots at the Chapel. Buuuuuuut….there were the most amazing walk through tunnels that shielded us from the rain and provided the most amazing backdrop to some really intimate portraits.

A quick note to all of Jackie and Drew’s family and friends – leave a comment for Jackie and Drew so they have a chance to win a free canvas at the end of the wedding season. If they get the most comments then they win!

A big thanks to my lovely wife for kickin’ some serious arse workin’ the booth and to Danielle for second shooting.

And of course, were still able to grab some super-rad portraits of the couple in various nooks and crannies at the Amber Room and their Church.

Erica & Chris :: Wedding at Waterview in Monroe, CT : Sneak Peak!

Erica and Chris are definitely the funniest couple I know.

Their wedding reception at the Waterview in Monroe, CT was so much fun, their ceremony at the Meeting House Church in Newtown was really emotional, and the weather couldn’t be more perfect. Thanks for everything guys and enjoy your honeymoon in Cancun!!

Colleen & Scott :: Wedding at Waveny Mansion in New Canaan, CT : Slideshow!

Colleen & Scott’s love for each other is absolutely infectious. I have yet to photograph a couple with such an intense chemistry together, I mean they NEVER left each other’s side throughout their entire wedding day at the Waveny Mansion in New Canaan, CT. Even all the candids I shot of these two are just spilling with love and affection. Be sure to check out their sneak peak too!

The couple met each other before their ceremony for all their portraits and we had hours and hours of photos….every photographer’s dream! A message to all of my future couples: more time for portraits = AMAZING PICTURES!!! All the cool kids are meeting each other before their ceremony, come on, just do it!!

To all of Colleen and Scott’s friends and family – Don’t forget about the sweet Canvas Competition we have going. If everyone comments on their wedding than they have a chance at winning the contest! Click here for details.

I couldn’t decide which dress shot I like the best so you get both!

Susan & Mike:: Wedding at Elizabeth Park in Hartford, CT : Slideshow!

Susan and Mike had the coolest wedding ever at Elizabeth Park back in July. They kept their spirits up the entire time while watching the rain fall on their plans for an outdoor ceremony in the rose garden. What made their wedding 10 times cooler than ever, was the fact that they met each other before their ceremony for some intimate and private portraits together.

If you missed their sneak peak, be sure to check it out here.

A message to all of Susan and Mike’s friends and family: If Susan and Mike receive the most number of comments for their wedding than they win a FREE canvas of their favorite wedding image. View the details here. So don’t forget to leave a comment and wish them all the best in their new life together!


This next couple of pictures are from their first meeting. Wondering why the Pond House at Elizabeth Park looks so empty? Because I kicked everyone out!! You should have seen the look on everyone’s face when I told them “Peace Out!”

What do you get when you multiply awesomeness times a thousand? Jennifer and Shaun….duh. Know why they’re overloading the awesome scale? They met each other before their ceremony at the Water’s Edge and we had about 2.5 hours for pictures…..sweeeet. That and I got to hear Wrex N Effect at their reception….bringing it back to ’92 baby.

Dawn and Stefanos :: Wedding at The Surf Club in New Rochelle: Sneak Peak!

The last, but certainly not least, day of our weekend craziness consisted of the awsomeness that is Dawn and Stefanos.  This was, by far, THE most fun reception I’ve ever been to.  There wasn’t a single person in their seats the whole night – the partying was out of hand!  I can’t wait to finish up their slideshow but here are a few peaks to hold you over in the mean time…

Thanks again to Danielle for trekking all the way to New Rochelle to shoot this one with me – you rock!!
