Wedding ::: 05.15.10 ::: Silas W. Robbins House, Wethersfield, CT

Yes! I am still here! :) And blogging away! I promise!

Last month, I worked with the lovely Eileen Broderick of e. broderick photography for a wedding at the Silas W. Robbins House in Wethersfield, CT. It was a stunningly recently restored Victorian bed & breakfast. If anyone local to the area needs a mini-weekend break away from life, this is the place to go! You step back in time as you cross the threshold. John & Shireen Aforismo, the innkeepers, did an incredible job.

Alan and Patty had an gorgeous day, and I was so honored to be a part of it. I've got so much catching up to do, I'll just share my absolute favorites!







Patty, about to be walked down the aisle by her son! So sweet.




How cute?!


This particular moment had be stifling my giggles... the ringbearer had a Tiffany box strapped to a little antique toy car. He was zooming it around, entertaining himself for quite a while! Great idea! So when the priest went to take the rings, he chuckled when he saw what he was taking... "Oh! And they come with a nifty car too!"


Of course, after the ceremony, everyone had bubbles to blow, and I seriously could have photographed everyone trying to get them to work all.day.long. They were so silly and a great group. Who doesn't love bubbles?!










Patty's Matron of Honor wore such a pretty shade of pink that looked so lovely against her flowers.


Love love love...


Can't get enough of the cuteness.

A quick shot of the gorgeous cake...


Thank you, my dear Eileen, for having me along for the day. It was truly one of the most touching days, and one that I will remember and treasure forever. And congratulations to Alan & Patty! =)

Wedding ::: 09.04.09 ::: The Webb Barn, Wethersfield, CT

I know, I know. Feast or famine, right? =) Continuing on to a GORGEOUS wedding shot with Eileen of E Broderick Photography back in September.





I can't choose!




SUCH a cool church.




Everyone loves having their picture taken, right?






Snapping away while Eileen did her thing.


Love love love catching that "moment". Because every single one of 'em does it. So CUTE!!!


A lot.


Purty.


Stunning.


OK, so I'm a little obsessed with all the flowers at Elizabeth Park.


Eileen and I didn't want to leave... can you see why? Simply gorgeous.




Model material!


The Webb Barn was SUCH a neat place to have a laid back and close-knit reception. So cozy and fun...








These are moments when *I* get all weepy.


Especially when the bride's mom serenades the Father-Daughter dance, with a slideshow going in the background...




A fun time was definitely had by all... =) Thanks Eileen!!!!

Wedding ::: 06.12.09 ::: Westover School, Middlebury, CT

Wedding season is officially in full swing! I had the WONDERFUL opportunity to shoot with my dear friend Eileen of e. broderick photography on Friday. The bride is a teacher at Westover School in Middlebury, a magnificent all girls boarding school that was founded in 1909. Amazingly beautiful place for a wedding. Below is just a small sneak peak. Eileen's photos are bound to be incredible.

Of course, if you recall, it was POURING Friday morning. And it poured my whole drive there. But par for the course with the crazy weather lately, it turned on a dime and was suddenly beautifully sunny. Perfect! Look at this sky!


Such a cool place...


All of the getting ready took place in the dorms, where Shelby lives on campus. This is always my favorite part. All the laughing and excitement and gussying up.



She was so amazingly relaxed...




All the bridesmaids had the cutest shirts...


Eileen and I snuck off to do details in the empty dorm rooms. Here she is in the zone.


Shoes!


Shelby's dad taught at the school for many years, and I believe she also attended herself, so it's truly a special place for the entire family. I definitely tried to get the architecture framed in the window panes.


But it was SUCH a gorgeous dress!


Had to go for a little splash of color with the flowers outside...


We headed over to meet with the guys at the groom's parents' house...


Gotta love a smooch!


And came back in time to catch Shelby opening a surprise gift from her husband-to-be.


A stunning diamond and sapphire bracelet!


We did a bunch of shots outside...


Before we knew it, it was time to walk down the aisle. Happy Mom...


Happy Dad!


260 people and there was standing room only. The church was bursting at the seams.




I barely got a shot of this because I was giggling too hard. The priest shook the holy water a bit vigorously, dousing Shelby and Ryan. =)


And they're OUT!


How cute is he?!






The wedding was coordinated by the fabulous team at Sixpence for Your Shoe, who is comprised of, as luck would have it, Shelby's sister-in-law, Lindsay! Just a few snaps of some of the many beautiful details...














And, oh yes, Lindsay's adorable son (and ring bearer) Landon!


And of course, I always gravitate towards happy, smiling, laughing people. They're always my absolute favorite moments. Everyone's happy at a wedding!






This was eventually the room where everyone retired to after dinner... how great?!


We did a whole bunch of table shots, but this group definitely wins the Goofy Award! =) They ASKED if they could do it! Love them.


[ETA: Lindsay gave SUCH a cute poem/speech... =) I meant to include this in the original post!]


I'll have a couple more to post another time... Thank you SO much for having me along Eileen. Special thanks to Lindsay, Talia, and all the girls at Six Pence, and best wishes to Shelby & Ryan for a fabulous future together. =) Yay!
