Jonathan Edwards Winery Wedding in North Stonington: Kim and Mark!
Relaxed, real and lots of fun, Kim and Mark’s wedding at Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington CT fit them to a T! It was all farm to table…for wine and food from Russell Morin Fine Catering while nature abounded in the details: loved the flowers and table decor from Candi’s Floral Creations who brought texture–ferns, burlap, succulants–into their wedding and in a twist, guests wrote messages to the couple on stones in place of a guest book.
Down in the barrel room, Mark took the mic, reading a poem he’d penned for Kim, followed by his brother’s Kevin nice toast. As dad to two boys it sure resonated for me. Later on the party headed to the winery tasting room for dancing to the music Bill and Pam from Bill McGoldrick Acoustic Duo who have an edgier coffee house sound…really good. Great time working with Amy and Megan from event planners Piece of Cake Events and nice seeing Erica, who runs events at the Winery. And if you haven’t been, come check out Jonathan Edwards Winery or see their wines in CT wine stores…especially the Connecticut Gewurztraminer, a fine match for CT seafood.
Congratulations Kim and Mark–thanks for having us photograph your wedding!! To see many more photos please click here…

Rinker Buck and Piper Cub for Flight Training Magazine
A few months ago, we headed up to the Berkshires on a beautiful night to photograph Rinker Buck for Flight Training Magazine. Buck’s a writer and adventure junkie, who achieved fame back in 1966 by flying a Piper Cub plane across the US with older brother Kern when they were only 15 and 17. Yikes!
Buck’s book Flight of Passage is an intimate story of this cross country adventure. They had no radio and no lights. They just headed west following rivers and landmarks all the way from New Jersey down to Texas and over the mountains west into southern California. Later on they found out they were the youngest ever to fly across the US. Our son Sebbie is reading Rinker’s book now…note to Sebbie (and Jude): don’t even think about it!
We photographed Rinker next to a classic yellow Piper Cub in Great Barrington MA up the road from Buck’s home in Norfolk CT. Rinker’s a great writer and storyteller…he wrote for the Hartford Courant for many years. And he’s a really nice guy. Rinker’s latest adventure was traversing the Oregon Trail from my home town of Kansas City to Oregon in a covered wagon pulled by mules…look out for that book coming soon!
