AGWPJA Award from Katie and Michael’s Wedding in Avon, CT
I submitted this image of Katie's bridesmaids for the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association Spring Contest and just found out it placed 12th for Getting Ready. Yay!

Comments:
1. A
little surprise in the lower left corner takes this image beyond a
"reflection" photo. Good seeing and sense of timing by the
photographer. The soft tones and subtle vignette keep your eye focused
on the right side of the frame until your eye is surprised by the face
in the smaller mirror.

Agnella and Stephen’s Wedding, Fairfield, CT
.We loved Agnella and Stephen's wedding which was all about family and close friends and had such an intimate feel (which tent weddings are great for, by the way). Agnella got ready in the house she grew up in with help from her sisters and her parents:
Stephen had his sisters stand up for him:
The moms:
We then went to Agnella's aunt's to shoot their portraits…what a beautiful location for pics:
There was some sacrifice for this image but it's one of my favorites! Thanks guys!
Agnella and her sisters:
Yes, those are real sheep…
The reception was held in a tent at Agnella's parents' home…their gardens made a beautiful setting for the event:
We had sun, storms and rainbows….magic…thank you to the caterer who told me there was a rainbow outside the tent!:
This is the second wedding in a row with a dessert bar with their favorite desserts instead of a cake! These are one of my favorite desserts ever and are available at the L'Estrada Bakery on Park Road in Hartford if anyone's mouths are watering…Portuguese Egg Custard Tarts!
Sisters:
It was a night of great dancing!
Mike did some long shutter speeds and I loved how everything went pink!
The band was Harbor Lights out of NYC. They were excellent at reading the crowd and getting everyone involved in a very classy way…here's one of the leads giving Agnella the spotlight:
It was so beautiful when we walked away at the end of the night…
Agnella and Stephen, thank you again….it was great spending time with your families! Thinking of you guys in Istanbul!!! Congratulations!
