Madison Beach Club Wedding: Laura and John!
What a summer send-off! Back in early September, with the temperature nudging the 90s and the salt marshes in the background, Laura and John were married in Laura’s parents’ backyard in Madison CT–quite fitting for this Connecticut Shore couple!
Their Madison Beach Club wedding celebration continued where the sea breeze kicked in on schedule to cool things off. The Club’s setting–with the beach & boats in soft pastel light–was ideal for photographing Laura and John all around the waterfront.
Following a warm and funny welcome from Laura’s father, touching speeches from their siblings really showed how close sisters and brothers can be. Then everyone danced like crazy to the super cool Marcus Reid Band from Hank Lane who put on a great concert–definitely check them out if you’re getting married–modern, hip, fun and interactive. A true Connecticut Shore wedding, from the oyster shell motifs to the knotty pine inside the 70 year old Madison Beach Club. Nice working with Beth and Colleen from Lovely Day Events and kudos to the top vendors like the Madison Flower Shop, cake designer Ana Parzych and La Cuisine catering who made their night special.
Thanks Laura and John for having us photograph your wedding!! To see many more photos please click here…

SIGHT Visionaries: Jane Shauck!
She can see for miles and miles! Last Wednesday night, Jane joined nine other SIGHT Visionaries (including West Hartford Restaurateur Billy Grant) who were celebrated for their foresight by West Hartford’s SIGHT Eye Health.
Dr. Melissa Lambright, founder of SIGHT, noted, “What all of these ‘change agents’ have in common is that they possess not only a clear vision of the future, but also a clear sense of how to get there.” Jane and her posse of friends enjoyed the event put on by good friend Stacy Rome of marketing firm Brand New with help from another good friend, Marina from Marina Luri Events, enjoying delicious food from Riverhouse Catering. Fun night—Dr. Lambright’s a visionary herself who has pulled together terrific team of upbeat folks who really embrace high-touch service.
The Visionaries included Billy Grant, Restaurateur/Founder Billy Grant Dining; David Jacobs, Executive Director of Mandell JCC; Julie Daly Meehan, HYPE Executive Director and Director of Investor Engagement & Digital Media at MetroHartford Alliance; Roxanna Booth Miller, Co-Director & Chief Development Officer of the Hartford Youth Scholars Foundation; Kimberly Mattson Moster, Owner Kimberly Boutiques and kimberly Gift; Jane Shauck, Founder IRIS Photography and Jane Shauck Photography; Sheila Schectman, CEO of American Gourmet Group and Hebert Candies; Laura Schmelter, Director of Resource Development at United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut; Cheryl Dumont Smith, Executive Director of Aurora Women and Girls Foundation; and Will K. Wilkins, Executive Director of Real Art Ways.
