Spring Wedding on Long Island Sound

June 8, 2009 – 7:15 pm

Emily and Daniel were married in Saint James Church in the Connecticut town of Manchester. Daniel, an officer, has been deployed to Iraq and has a chest full of medals to prove it. He was married in his uniform. After the ceremony it was on to Branford House Mansion at the Avery Point campus of University of Connecticut, where the bride attended college.

Avery Point juts out into Long Island Sound. On a very clear day I suppose you could see Orient Point, the tip of the North fork of LI. It was really beautiful there. We hoped for sunset pictures but during dinner the fog rolled in and totally enveloped us creating a very romantic haze. Emily’s mom tented the grounds for a sit down dinner and you can barely see the tent in the fog – the fog got so dense.

Photography is fast becoming everyone’s favorite thing to do, it seems – at weddings anyway – Emily and Daniel were followed by a gentle but persistent pack of family paparazzi where ever we went! I made the most of it, there was no stopping them. Then I managed to get in a few shots of my own…

Tricia + Danny

November 5, 2008 – 11:26 am

Tricia’s brother is the best. She planned an intimate ceremony and then a great dinner at one of their favorite restaurants. Bobby, her brother, had something else planned. He surprised her with a limo, a violinist, Dom Perignon champagne and me! It all came together in Lloyd Harbor on the beach in perfect weather.

Tricia and her brother.

Mr. and Mrs. Love

Pamela + Ilan, The Wedding

November 1, 2008 – 1:19 pm

On October 25, Pamela and Ilan were married at Temple Beth Sholom, Roslyn Heights. The bride wore a luminous vintage gown inset with beautiful floral panels and exquisite detail. Her mom told me it was purchased at an antique store.

Two years ago, I photographed Pamela’s sister get married. And at that wedding we made some of my favorite pictures together while in the dressing room. Mom wanted to do this again. Here are a few moments from Pamela’s dressing room:
