Wedding highlights 2011

posted in Portraits,Weddings

Tuesday January 24, 2012

Our 2011 wedding season was one full of changes both personal and professional. It was our first full year as a Connecticut based studio and our last year serving the hudson valley on a regular basis. And although I love our hudson valley couples and will definitely still shoot there, we will be doing so less frequently as the commute is killing me! :)

My right hand man and good friend Izzac left our crew mid season to move back to Texas. We miss him dearly and still try to make him feel bad by taking food photos at all our shoots. He’s a sucker for good food.

Chris has since taken up the duties of Associate Photographer up from his previous position of “lighting bitch”. And I have to say, he has done nothing but impress me with his creativity and drive.

All in all, it was a fantastic year. We are absolutely stoked about 2012 with our new Luxury Themed Sessions beginning to take off and our first wedding of the year to be shot in Hawaii! Now that’s how to kick off the new year!

Here’s a video of our 2011 wedding highlights featuring some of our coolest brides and our favorite shots.

Luxury Styled Sessions: Melanie and Matt, A Vintage Engagement

posted in Engagements

Friday January 20, 2012

Melanie and Matt were our first couple to try our new Luxury Themed Sessions. An Engagement session on steroids, our Luxury Themed Sessions include hair, make up by the ever awesome JK Flashy, a theme of your choice and a consultation to brainstorm ideas for your shoot.

This shoot was originally conceived as a hot air ballon shoot at sunrise and evolved into a WWII themed session complete with bi-plane. Melanie, who is a certified flight instructor, was able to secure us an airfield for the afternoon and a WWII era Stearman which was used to train army air corps pilots.

We met up with our two lovebirds at the Chester Airport in Chester, CT. During the entire shoot we were dodging aircraft taking off, landing, refueling and taxiing. It definitely kept us on our toes!!!

Here are some of our fav’s.
