Wedding Style

I loved the beautiful, simple style of Jill and Luke's wedding - they had some great little touches that - to me - were just right.



Gotta love these socks:



No sooner did Luke's suit remind me of the classy British businessmen I admire in London, then do I find out he grew up there - figures!

Spotlight on Samantha, the anti-bridezilla

Samantha was a bride after my own heart - or, rather, an anti-bride after my own heart. She didn't want crazy wedding hoopla - she hardly even wanted a wedding! But perhaps we should keep that little fact secret from the other brides, Samantha.... because those that do care about such things might be jealous about what a gorgeous bride you did make - and with so little effort!

I mean, c'mon, check her out:





Sisters are good because they know how to button up your gown just right (especially if it was their wedding dress):




Moms are good because they know how to tie the sash around your wedding dress perfectly the first time (by the way, I'm loving all that is going on in this photo):







Stunner!



No, this one is not Sam's inner child, just one of three adorable flower girls. Yes, someday this little cutie might be a bride, too. But for now, discovering how fun swinging doors can be will do just fine...

Liz & Dave - Fate or Coincidence?

From the moment that Liz first saw the beautiful Gothic-style chapel at Trinity College in Hartford, she knew that one day she would like to be married there.

What she didn't know was that she would meet her future husband at that same college - sooner than she thought!

Dave and Liz did not meet and start dating until their senior year at Trinity, despite the relatively small class size - their paths had simply not crossed until then... or had they?

Dave's on campus job was programming computerized locks - when one day he found himself in an administrative office that displayed photographs of each graduating class at Trinity, taken at freshman orientation. Curious to see his freshman self, Dave located himself in the photo, directly in the bottom right corner. He looked at the person to his right - the only person next to him in the photo - and who should it be? You guessed it - Liz.

He called her immediately to share this huge coincidence - neither of them had any recollection of meeting at the time of the photo. And the rest is history... of which I don't know much about other than they were, indeed, married at the beautiful Trinity College Chapel as Liz had once wished.

I love hearing stories like this - makes you feel like some things are truly "written in the stars".

Liz and Dave had a copy of the photo displayed at their reception (below) and encouraged guests to find them out of the hundreds of students pictured.

Here it is - there is Dave with the blonde spikes in the corner:


And here they are now!

Kathy & John

Below are a few shots from a wedding I recently shot at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven, CT. The location is fast becoming one of my favorite wedding locales - I love the kitchy feel of the carousel and the beach pavilion from the 1920's.

Kathy and John had a beautiful and simple ceremony, featuring a moving reading from playwright Tony Kushner's poem, An Epithalamion. The weather held out for the ceremony and the impending rain clouds made for some great pops of color!
