Madison Beach Hotel and Ct. Photographer

Just photographed my first wedding at the Madison Beach Hotel the past Sunday and it was everything that I knew it would be!  Of course Joanne and Chuck had a lot to do with it:)  If there was ever the perfect fit for a bride and groom and a venue then this was it.  What I love the most about the hotel is the amount of natural light though out … being right on the water is not bad either.

This image is of Joanne in her room that had wall to wall of blinds that I could control the light.

 

They decided to do the First Glance but Chuck had a hard time controlling himself:)

 

Love this image of Chuck just chilling waiting for his children to finishing getting ready before we go to the beach for the formals.

 

One of the prettiest Chuppahs I’ve seen by Debra of www.beautifulweddingflowers.com

 

I don’t think this has ever happened before but I can honestly say that I photographed everyone in the bridal party throughout the years from either High School formals or elementary school pics …. except the dog, he was the ring bearer:)

… now Chuck can have his Scotch:)

 

Gotta go out for sunset … and the full moon!

 

Thank you Joanne and Chuck … I had fun with you and your families on Sunday.  Can’t wait for the next opportunity to work the Madison Beach Hotel.

Mercy H.S. Senior Session

Had a great time last night photographing Katie for her senior formals at Hammonasset.  Katie is a senior at Mercy H.S. and already had her formals taken by the school photographer but wanted something different to hand out to friends and family.  It was the perfect night for shooting portraits … the wind and the light (which was gorgeous) was going in the same direction which is great with long hair:)  I made more of her images in black & white then usual because of the way her eyes popped.  Here is some of my favorites from last night which were a lot!!

Beach Session Ct. Photographer

What a perfect night last night at Knollwood Beach in Old Saybrook …. a gentle breeze (going in the right direction) with a gorgeous sky.  Jeri used to live there for years and wanted a memory of the place where her kids grew up.  I have a funny feeling she’s going to choose the last image:)  We were all done heading to the cars and the sky just kept getting prettier and then came a photographers favorite phrase …. one more:))  So on the side of the road I just said ” Everyone on the railing” for one more.
