Destination Minnesota - Wallis & Levi's Wedding

Last weekend I flew out to Minnesota to photograph Wallis & Levi's wedding in the small farming town of Winona. The wedding itself took place on Levi's family's 300 acre farm in the middle of a hay field. Mind you, no electricity or paved roads here - this was rustic chic at its best!

I have SO many favorites - here is a sampling...




It sprinkled a bit just before the ceremony, but cleared up just in time...






Love the stones for the bridesmaids in heels...




Their English Bulldog was clearly ready to start the party.




I am a sucker for anything sentimental. Look closely and you'll see the first note Levi ever wrote to Wallis tied in a scroll.

Dana & Brian's Engagement

Every time I sit down to write a blog entry I feel like I am bragging about the couples and families I get to work with - Dana and Brian are no exception. These two get it. Both are incredibly talented, down to earth, and most importantly, are true to who they are. I photograph from the heart, always looking for moments that capture genuine emotion and a real story. These two are as genuine as they come - I am thrilled to be working with them. Thanks, guys!

We met earlier this week to walk through their wedding venue (Waveny Mansion, New Canaan) and do an engagement session. Here are a few...

Elizabeth - 6 Months

Babies grow up SO, SO fast. When I document a baby's first year of life I am always after the moments that truly embrace who they are at that exact moment.

Nothing says "hey, look at me, I am 6 months!" like hands in the mouth, feet in the mouth... pretty much everything in the mouth!

That is certainly true with little Elizabeth who recently turned 6 months - for her, to know is to taste. Here are a few of my favorites...

Alchemy Studio Salon

The fabulous Samantha Drake of the Alchemy Studio Salon in downtown Hartford approached me a month or so ago about photographing her work for an upcoming color competition. Here are a few of my favorites.

A special thanks to NiRo Couture for supplying us with the fantastic wardrobe.
