What a great wedding on Martha's Vineyard with Heather and Chris…thank you so much for welcoming us to spend the day with you and your families!

Heather grew up coming to the Vineyard and got ready at her parents' home in Oak Bluffs:

I don't know why but I love this photo…maybe the colors of Heather's grandmother's hat with the Ocean Park Gazebo…

We took Heather and Chris' formal photos at the Ocean Park Gazebo and I loved the inside of the roof and the shakes with the formal wedding clothes:

Then it was out to Menemsha for the reception at the stunning Beach Plum Inn with all the tables set in navy and silver:

The dinner was held inside the Beach Plum Inn with an attached tent to allow for maximum seating.  Heather and Chris picked the Beach Plum specifically for the view and light at sunset.  So, as dinner started, the sun started to go down.  This shot of the blessing looks totally photoshopped to me but it's barely touched…the light looked this amazing all through dinner and just made for a beautiful, beautiful setting.  The other thing I want to point out is that in the attached tent, they had swagged a striped yellow and white fabric on the underside of the tent, making for a beautiful tent ceiling:

The light, the setting, the cake at sunset…amazing!

Thank you guys for a lovely experience!

One thing I love about photography is getting to experience situations and see portions of other people's lives and careers that I wouldn't normally get to see.  Recently, I had the pleasure of shooting Connecticut State Representative Andy Flesichmann's 2008 campaign photos, including portraits and candids at a recent political meeting in West Hartford. 

Andy is the State Representative for the 18th District in Connecticut and is serving his seventh term in the House.  Andy serves as Chairman of the Education Committee, Chairman of
the Appropriations Subcommittee for Elementary and Secondary Education,
and is a member of the Joint Committee on Government Administration
& Elections.  You can learn more about his campaign here.

 I just did a dream commercial job a few weeks ago, being hired by Swarovski to document the reinstallation of their Sputnik chandeliers at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.  They had all the crystals refurbished for the upcoming 50th anniversary of Lincoln Center.  I got the opportunity to shoot the entire  four-day installation and felt I was documenting a piece of history in a city I love!
