The Scoop: Allison & Adam’s Wedding

When last I wrote about Allison and Adam’s wedding, I promised to share a little bit more about their connection to Alaska. They spent a year together in an Alaskan cabin; that time seems to have had an amazing impact on them. They feel very connected to the woods. I wanted start this off with a nightshot in the forest. I think it speaks to their connection to each other and to the beauty of nature.

The Scoop: Deana & Nick’s Wedding

We had such a blast hanging with Deana and Nick for their engagement session, we couldn’t wait for the wedding. And the wedding was even more awesome and fun than I had expected. Their friends and family were outstanding- welcoming and relaxed. Their site was one of our favorites, Hans Fahden in the California wine country. The skies were deep, deep blue. And I got to learn so much more about Deana and Nick. Deana’s dad’s speech rocked- both witty and sentimental. I could see through his eyes how these two amazing, intelligent, fun, wonderful people were absolutely destined to be together.

Sneak Peak: Lord Thompson Manor Bridal Fashion Shoot

When we spoke with the amazing ladies from Bridal Heirlooms about doing a fashion shoot, we immediately knew where we wanted to do the shoot. And as we thought more about it we knew what story we wanted the images to tell. Each idea came more and more into focus.

Bridal Heirlooms has a wonderful selection of dresses and Christine and Shirley know just how to match a gown to a person’s style. We wanted to create a collection of images that hearkened back to times gone by, but with a modern touch. And we wanted to show off their fabulous gowns.

The Lord Thompson Manor is a stunning wedding site nestled in the woodlands of Northeastern Connecticut. It is just a short drive from Boston, Rhode Island, Hartford, and even, New York. A perfect getaway close to home, this estate was once a hunting villa. The feel of the site is still warm and welcoming and intensely glamorous – a wonderful place for wedding photography.

Here’s a sneak preview of the Lord Thompson Manor bridal fashion shoot.

Engagement Session with Elsa & Tim

We had an awesome engagement session with Elsa and Tim while we were in San Francisco. Elsa wanted something urban. So we met them in North Beach, one of my favorite parts of town, and toured all the best sites and even ventured a bit into the financial district.

Anniversary Found

So it has been a few days since last I wrote, but I did have good cause for the delay. Dave and I spent the last few days celebrating our third anniversary. And for this super special celebration, we did something I have been wanting to do since the fall after I met Dave. We backpacked on the Lost Coast in Northern California.
