Fabulous news! We had four full-page photos published in Gala Weddings Magazine. We received the proof and the magazine, and it looks great!

The magazine focuses on the New England region and the brides and grooms who get married in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut. Most of our images are from Becky and Danny’s wedding last summer. They were married at the Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport.

Here’s Danny looking over his vows before he walks down the aisle…

And here’s Becky with her Dad walking towards the ceremony on the lawn.

The used this one from their portrait session as the lead image for their RI section.

And this one is from Ariana and Jesse’s wedding, used for their lead photo in the VT section.

Then they sprinkled a few more smaller images throughout. The bouquets and table arrangements in this spread are both ours from Becky and Danny’s Newport wedding.

And the mooncake is ours in this inspiration spread of citrus colors; it’s from Krista and Andy’s wedding.

They then sent us a whole series of their friends, all of whom we actually met at their wedding.

First, Elaine and Eddie were married. They had another autumn wedding and chose the perfect venue to highlight the rich greens of fall in San Francisco- the Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park. Before their American ceremony, they participated in the Chinese tea ceremony at both their family homes. After the Shakespeare Garden wedding and taking photos around San Francisco, they celebrated with a fabulous Chinese banquet at House of Banquet.

A couple weeks later, Meredith and Bronson celebrated their wedding. Actually, Meredith’s mother Renn was the connection with Linda and Mike. After meeting us at Linda and Mike’s wedding, she brought Meredith and Bronson in to visit us while they were visiting from Portland. These two have such a great sense of humor; we had an absolute blast working with them and getting to know their families. They were married at StoneTree Golf Club in Novato. Their winter themed wedding was designed and coordinated by Grace Dugan from A Touch of Grace.

This past summer, we were able to photograph Becky and Danny’s wedding. Becky and Danny are friends with Linda and Mike as well as Elaine and Eddie. We actually sat at their table during Elaine and Eddie’s banquet. We felt like we already knew them quite well when they hired us to photograph their wedding at The Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island and their bbq celebration in Preston, Connecticut. They are a lovely down-to-earth couple with great taste. We were so excited to celebrate with them.

All of our "generations" are so special to us. We really are so lucky to get to work with such amazing couples. A huge, huge thank you to all of our past brides and grooms who have referred their wonderful friends and family to us.

The Rockin’ Artists:

Jo Kaplan Lee, Tina Parsadanov, Mary Marantz, Krystal Prue, Val McCormick, Nikki Nicole Rinaldi, Carla Ten Eyck, Jane Shauck, Jacklyn Greenberg.

The show continues through Jan. 4. You can check it out most weekends between 11 and 3. The MAC 650 Artspace Gallery is at 650 Main Street, Middletown, CT (about 15 minutes from Hartford).

I had so much fun; I definitely want to do this again. And Dave has been bitten by the bug as well. We hope to put on a show in our Boston studio soon. We will definitely share the details when we figure them out.

I am super excited to announce the gallery show I am taking part in. The theme for our work is love. The show came about from a desire to explore love in new context. All of the photographers in the show are women who primarily shoot weddings. You can check out some of their wedding work on their sites: Jacklyn Greenberg, Tina Parsadanov, Val McCormick, Mary Marantz, Jane Shauck, Krystal Prue, Carla Ten Eyck, and Nikki Nicole Rinaldi. I am honored to be among these women, who are not only fabulous photographers, but extraordinary individuals.

If you are free on Friday evening, we hope you will join us at our Gallery Opening Party (7-10pm) to meet the artists and enjoy refreshments. Or come by any weekend through Jan. 4 to check out the work. The MAC 650 Artspace Gallery is at 650 Main Street, Middletown, CT (about 15 minutes from Hartford).

Last night, we hung everyone’s images and they look amazing. So here’s a couple pix of the crew…

Huge thank you’s to Paul and Justin for helping with the hanging!

I want to keep the images themselves a surprise. More to follow after the show.

Hope to see you on Friday!

Here’s Becky and Danny in front of her childhood home. Dave had fun playing with this image, hearkening back to the late 1800′s.

Guests enjoyed an all-day affair and withstood the stormy weather with smiles. The entertainment was non-stop: games of badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping in the pool, and lots of great conversation. They even provided a few props for the other celebration that occurs on July 4.

The tent looked great- decorated with lanterns and lights. They continued the theme of fresh colors of pinks, yellows, and greens.

In the afternoon, Becky and Danny got all dolled up again. Jeanine was there to help with Becky’s prepping.

Just before their introduction, Becky and Danny snuck a kiss.

The rain held off on the wedding day and everyone was thrilled. Alas, they weren’t so lucky for some of the BBQ. Becky and Danny dashed from the house to the tent under this huge umbrella.

And then right into their second first dance. (Their first first dance being at The Chanler.) Have I mentioned how awesome it is that they get to do everything 3 times!

Becky’s dad was so funny during this speech. He brought one of Danny’s friends up to translate for him. Everyone assumed that Danny’s friend would be translating into Chinese for any of Danny’s relatives who might prefer that. Then he started speaking in Chinese. The friend was there to translate into English! Of course there was tons of laughter and appreciative applause. Apparently he did quite a good job, too.

And this pretty much sums up the whole shebang.

Becky and Danny, we are so excited for you to embark on this adventure together. We wish you all the best and have had such a great time getting to know you better. Have a fabulous time at the Banquet this weekend!
