Rose and Chris' engagement session in Orlando, FL.

So I thought I might fill you in on what we have been up to before the trip to New York.  We headed down to Orlando 2 weeks ago and photographed Rose and Chris' engagement session.  I had a great  time despite the briskness for Florida, the next day it was in the high 80's.  I can't wait to rock their wedding in March in Orlando!!  Thanks for all the walking you guys did for me that day.

All of us here at the office absolutely LOVE this one!!

And the blizzard started this afternoon...

during my engagement session, but afterwards, we still found time to go out and play in the snow a bit.  Cade wasn't that crazy about it though, so we weren't out very long.

I did manage to nab this awesome shot of my sexy wife!!  She is so beautiful.

We're on La Bella Bride Magazine's blogazine!!

Michael and Grace’s wedding in France!

Published: December 16, 2009Posted in: La Bella Love StoriesTags: brides, Destination Wedding, France, wedding

Michael and Grace live in Columbia, CT and had been together for 5 years when they were married. They decided to have a destination wedding to celebrate thier nuptials. Although beach/island destination weddings are quite popular, they chose to do a European castle wedding  and chose Chateau de Challain for our location in France.

Grace stated that, “No other place looked as beautiful, as romantic, as grand and fairytale-like. We eased the burden of travel for our guests by renting the whole Chateau for the entire week so that accommodations were taken care of by us if our guests were able to find airfare. Spending a week at the Chateau was like a dream and our actual wedding day at the Chateau was beyond anything we could have asked for. It was a memory of a lifetime. She arranged for hair, makeup, flowers, DJ, waitstaff, chef, etc. The food was prepared by her house chef and it was spectacular! It was some of the best dishes we have ever tasted.”

Last but definitely not least, Cynthia also connected us with her good friend Javon Longieliere to photograph our wedding. We felt that this particular choice was one of the most important because our photographs will last us the rest of our lives while everything else will be a faded memory. Javon was spectacular to work with! He started shooting from the morning and kept taking photos until late into the night. He also let us do a fabulous photo shoot on a motorcycle that we rented both during the day and at night so we could have something special and unique. The photos that Javon took really captured the enjoyment and laughter that we all shared during that time that we will treasure them forever. He was even sweet enough to make one of our photos his homepage!

We will always treasure our special wedding week thanks to everyone that was involved. All of our guests, family and friends, who attended our wedding truly felt that the experience we shared together was a like a fairy-tale dream.

Chrissy and Brandon's engagement session!!

These are a few images from the engagement session that we shot for Chrissy and Brandon on our way back from Miami at the beginning of the month.  I thought I would be too exhausted to do this but I had a wonderful time.  We had to work as fast as we could to try and beat the sun, but ultimately we did end up shooting in the dark.

This is one of my favorites!

Ana Carolina and Gabriel's wedding - April 27th

It's been a while since we've posted a wedding, but that doesn't mean we haven't been shooting them. Now that the season is winding down for us, I felt like it was time to start blogging a few of them. This wedding was 1 of 2 we had over in France at the beginning of the year. It was a lot of fun, they were Venezuelan and it was awesome to see the difference in the culture. Their reception was an all out party with confetti and masks. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Simon, c'est pour toi. Je ne l'ai pas oubliee!!

Happy Birthday little man!!

It's so hard for me to believe that a year ago Dawn and I were in the hospital still in shock over what happened to us. It has gone by so fast and furious that I feel sick to my stomach. All the things that we have gotten to share with him is a lifetime of experiences for most people and we have done it in a year. From flying to New York when he was only 6 weeks old, to his first time at a beach in Spain, first time at Disneyland in Paris, first time walking at a Chateau in the Loire Valley, a ride in an Amish buggy with our Amish friends and walking on the beaches of Normandy to the beaches of Florida what will we do next year?

I feel bad that he hasn't gotten to spend more time at home, but I have been very thankful that I get to spend the time with him that I do. Most Dad's have to go to work everyday and leave their child behind, I get to spend so much more time with him than that. I am so lucky to have him and Dawn, I love them so much.
