There are some couples that are just meant to be together… and there are some couples I was just meant to meet.  Ashley’s mom lives across the street from C and I, and if I’m being honest, she’s pretty much the reason we bought this house.  We had looked at about 20 different homes, but as we were looking at this one she came over and introduced herself and told us all about the neighborhood.  It was exactly what we were looking for, and more.  So when she contacted me back in January about possibly photographing her daughter’s wedding I was thrilled.

When I met Charlie and Ashley, it went from thrilled to over the moon.  These two are so kind and sweet, completely in love, and gorgeous to boot.  When we met on Tuesday night at Elizabeth Park, Ashley said “we’re not models or anything…” Um, honey – I beg to differ.  I CAN’T wait for your wedding this September!!

Kasey and I have been chatting for months now about her October wedding at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills.  Since her wedding is here in Connecticut, but she and her fiance live in Boston, we thought it would be a great idea to do their session in the city they love so much.  Bonus points for the fact that this session was an excuse for C and I to spend a night alone – away from the kiddos.

We met early in the morning, and from the moment we walked into their home and were greated with hugs, like old friends – I knew it would be a good day.  So we set off to explore the city together.  Kasey and Christian – We had such a blast with you – can’t wait for your wedding!!

Prepare yourself for an abundance of awesomeness. C and I met up with Lauren and Peter over the weekend for their amazing engagement shoot. These two swore they didn’t know what they were doing in front of the camera, but I think the pictures below tell a different story. They were total naturals, and so much fun to hang out with. They laughed at my not so funny jokes and were completely at ease with each other.  They are totally that couple that anticipates each other’s next move and were simply meant for each other.  Lauren and Pete – thanks for such a great time, and for saving my run away reflector.  Can’t wait to see you guys again soon!

Yooooowsers!

A quick note about why having two photographers is so totally worth it.  While I shot this:

C shot this: (WOW!)

When I was shooting this:

C was shooting this (the next one is his too):

Kristin and I have known each other for a very long time, and when she contacted me to do her engagement pictures, I was beyond excited!  Kristin and David were amazing to work with, and up for anything, despite the fact that we all got attacked by killer mosquitos.  Brace yourself for the biggest share ever… I looooove these pictures!!  A huge thanks to Christa for coming along on this shoot and lending her awesome skills!

Ackk…. okay, I’ll stop now, because I could seriously post a ton more images from this session.  Kristin and David, congratulations!!
