CT Backyard Wedding with Sperry Tent on the CT Shoreline
I’ve never laughed as hard at a wedding…there I was riding shotgun on the golf cart dash, practically in the bride’s lap, to capture fun images at this CT backyard wedding on the Connecticut shoreline. What a wonderful couple to photograph…contagiously fun and happy people and such a beautiful setting with their Sperry Tent on Long Island Sound!
The bride’s custom Modern Trousseau dress from The White Dress by the Shore fit her personality to a tee. Friends and family relaxed on the lawn with lobster rolls, steamed clams, and a risotto bar catered by Emily’s Catering. Great working with Rose Marie Belo who did the event planning in addition to the lighthouse themed paper via her company, Lettres Stationery from Avon, CT. Thrilled to see the maid-of-honor, Farrell, her husband Darius and their new baby again! We photographed their memorable wedding during Hurricane Irene. Beautiful floral by Farrell’s mom, Jodie, from Thistle Floral Design in Essex!
The entire day was casual and friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all their friends and family. Congratulations and thanks so much for having me capture your day!

What a pleasure meeting Becca and James last month for their CT backyard engagement shoot at their family home in New Canaan! We had a beautiful afternoon and took a side trip to Waveny Park with its beautiful gardens and the field where they got engaged. Really looking forward to your wedding!

Big Green Truck Pizza Party Junior League Decorator Show House
We’ve heard many stories about this “Big Green Pizza Truck.” Sure sounded like the perfect marriage of the food truck trend and the freshest New Haven-style pizza. One bite and I was hooked….
A few weeks back I checked out the Big Green Truck Pizza and its 850F oven up close when I photographed the West Hartford Junior League’s Show House Big Green Truck party. The always upbeat and happy Kaitlin Halloran led the event–we got to know Kait a few years back when we photographed her wedding to Kelvin at Trinity. Nice seeing Junior Leaguers Liz, Mary Jo and our good friend Sally (along with non-Junior Leaguer Ken).
The Junior League of Hartford sponsors the West Hartford Decorator’s Show House each year in which top area decorators, including our WH Center neighbors Labrazel Home and Gilley Kitchen and Bath spiff up a home to raise money for the JL’s efforts to help women in the Hartford area. The JL is a group of Hartford area women leaders helping create future leaders–the key focus this year is Empowering Women and Girls to Overcome Obstacles where they’ve teamed up with the Junior Achievement folks.
A fun night…and great pizza! Definitely check out the Big Green Truck for your next event Click here to see more pics…
