Jane and I were in Storrs CT in September to photograph the undefeated UConn Womens Basketball team for SportsNet NY (SNY), along with their coaches Geno Auriemma and Chris Dailey and the SNY broadcasting team–which now includes our local friend Meghan Culmo, along with UConn star Kara Wolters, Andrew Catalon and Kerith Burke.  The players combine beauty and toughness and were so fun to photograph–really dedicated but with a playful side.  Here are some photos from the shoot…go Huskies!!  You can see more of our commercial work including portraits of the NY Mets at photojane.com.

Betsy and Jon’s wedding was like an ideal date… that combination of great chemistry, spontaneity, perfect atmosphere, and two people who just love being together.  Betsy and Jon met for a first look at the New Haven Lawn Club before driving down Whitney Avenue to the First Presbyterian Church, with its mid-sixties design featuring telephone poles extending to the ceiling…it’s really intimate and funky…kind of like getting married in the woods.  At the ceremony a group of Betsy’s girlfriends from Trinity College’s a cappella group, the Trinitones, sang.  Wow, just beautiful!

Onto the reception where their art deco touches–from the silver-accented cake to Betsy’s flapper style second dress–matched the 1931 look of the NHLC ballroom.  Some serious dancing ensued, along with another awesome performance by the Trinitones…loved it!   It was nice photographing again at the New Haven Lawn Club, which fits the bill so well for a fall or holiday wedding.

Thanks Betsy and Jon, you’re a great couple…congratulations!  To see many more photos please click here…

Watch Hill RI is all about sailing, summering, and seaside eats…..all the elements of Emery and James’s story.  To Emery he was Summer James and they sailed together at the Watch Hill Yacht Club.  James grew up in Watch Hill, where his family owns the classic St. Clair Annex restaurant just down the street from the Flying Horse Carousel.   Fast forward to 2012, and what better place to get married than just up the hill at the atmospheric 19th century Watch Hill Chapel, where you can stroll across the street to celebrate at the new Ocean House.  (Remember the old Ocean House…used to see that pastel yellow siding from miles off shore on our way to Block Island.  The new Ocean House is a beautiful resort that fits the landscape and provides an intimate, clubby setting for weddings.)

Lots of love followed in the warm speeches from Emery and James’s family…then the dancing began!  Some serious dancing with family and fun loving friends–it was great seeing Matthew, Hamilton and Patrick and their wonderful wives again!  Loved the acoustic sounds from the Peter Miles Band out of Wilmington VT–they’re kind of the un-wedding band…great stuff.  And Westerly’s Rosanna’s Flowers bouquets added beauty to this stylish day.

Beautiful wedding…thanks so much Emery and James for having us photograph your wedding!  To view more pics please click here…
