Leah and Timothy’s Wedding at the Wake Robin Inn in Lakeville CT
We traveled to the beautiful Wake Robin Inn in Lakeville, Connecticut in the Litchfield hills for Leah and Timothy’s Moroccan-themed tented wedding in late August. Folks came from England, Australia and elsewhere to this corner of Connecticut–where NY, MA and CT meet–to celebrate their wedding…and it didn’t rain!
Leah and Timothy selected various Moroccan items for their wedding, from the toffee-colored lanterns to the bright orange harissa on the tables. The Wake Robin is perfect for country weddings as you have the Inn all to yourselves…it has its own pub, and lots of reading rooms perfect for the cocktail party that followed the outdoor ceremony.
For the reception, they dined and danced under a Sperry Tent, which is distinctively different from a white vinyl tent—the tent fabric is sailcloth and drapes more naturally from the tent poles…and it’s more translucent. Perfect choice for Leah and Timothy’s Moroccan theme. (For more info about tent types, check out this article from the Wedding Bee Pro, a good wedding blog). The lighting created a warm-toned mood with wrought iron chandeliers hung from the tent poles.
After several speeches, the band, led by New York musician Eric Nicolas, delivered some great music.
Thanks Leah and Timothy (and Ami!) for having us photograph your wedding!

Jennifer and Mike’s Wedding at the Candlewood Inn in Brookfield CT
Jennifer and Mike were married last week at St. Joseph’s Church in Danbury which Jennifer attended while growing up in Connecticut (and where we photographed Lauren and David’s wedding in early August). It was a very warm day with blue sky as family and friends arrived at the church. About an hour later the torrential rains kicked in during the recessional, cooling things off nicely.
The flash flood was short lived and we were all off to the Candlewood Inn, where we went lakeside with Jennifer and Mike. A few hours later we were rewarded with a beautiful late summer sunset over Candlewood Lake. Jennifer’s mom did a great job of planning the wedding details, and the beautiful floral arrangements and bouquets really showed it. The evening ended with a high energy dance party…very fun.
Jennifer and Mike, thank you very much for having us shoot your wedding!

New York Metropolitan Opera Exterior Shoot for Swarovski
Last night I (Jane) had the pleasure of photographing the New York Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center from the outside at night for our client, Swarovski. It was a beautiful night and with the help of my great friend Lisa who assisted and Philippe, the lovely security guard, we kept it clear enough to provide shots from twilight to full darkness.
This completes the photos we’ve been shooting for Swarovski, documenting their fully refurbished Sputnik crystal chandeliers in honor of Lincoln Center’s 50th Anniversary. For anyone who is interested, this was shot at f/14 on a tripod for about 1″, ISO 100 with a Canon 5D Mark II and a Canon 24mm L-series prime…love that lens!
