Wedding ::: 05.22.10 ::: Amarante's, New Haven, CT

Back on May 22nd, I helped my dear friend Robin Dini shoot Julia and Matt's wedding. We started the day at St. Bridget's in Cheshire, and ended up at Amarante's in New Haven. Just a few favorites from the day! :) Robin and I had such a great time, as always!











Robin was shooting bridal party portraits, and I was just capturing the activity around me. I couldn't resist how gorgeous these girls were, the colors of their dresses, the little details they added, and oh yes, the gorgeous backdrop!


Always fun when a bug decides to get trapped in the gown!!! :)




Soooo adorable. x3!






And what was so touching to me was that they were high school sweethearts. :) The connection between them was amazing. (Julia even wore the same shoes she wore to her prom under her wedding dress!)

Thank you Robin for having me!!! And congratulations, Julia & Matt!!!

Engagement Session ::: 01.09.10 ::: New York City

Back in the beginning of January, I accompanied Robin into New York to meet Erin and David, a couple getting married this summer! It was my second e-session with Robin, and it's so much fun getting to know the bride and groom before the big day. :) We spent a couple hours traipsing around the city... and if I recall correctly, it was about 5 degrees. Brrrrrr!

Just some a smattering of fun snaps I took as we went along. :)

Union Station in New Haven... a few days earlier, I heard they are getting rid of the flippity-flippity-flippity sign. :( Probably making room for something fancy-schmancier. Figured I'd better capture it in its last days.


Arriving in Grand Central!




Robin in action. :)


How can you not laugh around Robin?






Creepy.


We hopped on the subway...


To Central Park!










Robin,a huge Beatles fan, was deeeeelighted we stumbled across this.




Doing anything to get the coolest engagement ring shot.


This donated bench really made me want to sit a spell.


Loved these fire escapes.


And BBQ delivery bikes!


This walking gigantic artwork was a little spooky.




And a last stop in Times Square!




Brrrr!




Thanks Robin for inviting me along!!! :) And thank you Erin and David for a great day in the city, and a delicious lunch! I can't wait for your wedding!

Wedding ::: 10.24.09 ::: Saybrook Point Inn, CT

Forging right ahead to the next day, and a delightful wedding with Robin Dini of Robin Dini Photography! :)

It was a stormy, windy, raw day... and the boys were getting ready down by the water. Awesome.


I love boys getting ready. They're so much fun!






Beautiful Grace Church in Old Saybrook.




They just had such character... what can I say.


Couple great moments.




Super cute.


Such love!


Mother of the Bride had a glorious time. =)


As did the guests...


As did the Mother of the Groom!




And I must finish this post with a little gushing... this may have been one of my most favorite receptions ever. The groom and his family and friends were all from Ireland and England. People got up and sang all night... Whisky in the Jar, Spanish Lady, The Wild Rover, Molly Malone, and many others I couldn't place. And anyone who knows me knows that I thought I died and went to heaven. I could barely take photos because I was singing along. :) So. Much. Fun.


Thank you, as always, Robin, and thanks Tiffany and James for SUCH a fun time!!!!
