Britt and Peter really put their stamp of personality on their relaxed & friendly vineyard wedding a few weeks back at Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington CT!  They laughed, danced and partied with their families and big support system of friends from the ’08 Obama Advance Team to their Stanford and Yale classmates.  Support system is right…these guys held the poles of the Chuppah against the wind during the ceremony!

We met first at The Inn at Stonington in the Borough before heading up country to the winery, where the Sperry Tent was decked out beautifully in rustic elegance…a great job by the unflappable Candice Coppola of Jubilee Events.  White bird netting covered the nearly-ripe vines, making a dreamy setting for their outdoor wedding ceremony in the vineyard. Very “farm to table” vibe with guests enjoying Jonathan Edwards’ Stone Table Red–a nice blend of cab, merlot and petite sirah–and caterer A Thyme to Cook featuring food from Connecticut’s LoPresti Farms and Maple Lane Farms.  And the creative folks from Blush Floral from Madison CT provided the really nice flowers.

Loved Britt’s shimmery dress by British designer David Fielden..beautiful!  Look no further for a wonderful JOP…Mary Coburn–she’s so upbeat and really personalizes the ceremony.  For music under the Sperry tent, DJ Eko of the Love Junkies spun Stevie Wonder to the latest hip hop…not your typical DJ!  She raises DJing to an artform.  The night ended with a crazy-train bus ride to the afterparty at the Skipper’s Dock back in the Borough..fun to the end!

Thanks so much Britt and Peter!!  Take care and congratulations!  To view lots more pics click here…

When you photograph a intimate wedding you can’t help but feel a part it…which is a lot of fun!  This was very much the case with Jessica and Lemi’s joyful wedding at Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison CT–I loved photographing such a warm wedding, especially laughing with their friends at the ladies table (thanks Jess and Lemi!). Gorgeous afternoon for a Connecticut beach wedding….and loved that once the smooching got going at the reception at Guilford’s Stone House Restaurant, every couple joined in for a photo of their kiss…parents included!  Thanks so much Lemi and Jessica for having me photograph your wonderful wedding!  To see lots more photos click here…

As the saying goes, if you can read this…thank a teacher.  Well, we want to help those teachers in the Hartford area help their students to read and write better.  So we created a fundraiser to benefit participating West Hartford schools (Bugbee, Norfeldt, Lollipop Tree Preschool and more) and Hartford’s Grace Academy, an independent school dedicated to providing a quality, tuition-free education to girls from low-income families residing in Hartford’s inner city neighborhoods.

Jane’s an avid book reader (and book club member) and for the past five years I’ve tutored adults at Literacy Volunteers of Greater Hartford.  And with two grade school boys we see firsthand the importance of a strong start in literacy.  We tend to take our literacy for granted but for many children it can be a big challenge to bring all the skills together to read and write proficiently–your help is most appreciated!

You can see all the details below…if you haven’t had a professional portrait taken of your family lately, please contact us at [email protected] or 860.803.2401 to schedule an October session today!  Many thanks!!
