Tuscan Oven Benefit

2010-07-22T13:53:00.000-04:00

A beloved member of the Tuscan Oven staff was tragically hit in front of the restaurant and passed away on the day of Danielle and Jon Paul's Norwalk Reception. They are having a benefit in his honor on August 12th at the restaurant with all proceeds going to help pay for the medical expenses and funeral costs.

We were able to donate to the silent auction an engagement session/lifestyle photoshoot with a custom site on Pictage and a custom designed album. Be sure to go to the Tuscan Oven and bid on this on August 12th.

Here is the flyer:

Sorry for the delay in posting!

This past Saturday, we shot Danielle and Jon Paul's Norwalk Reception. The wedding in Italy was only immediate family, so this time 200 family and friends came down to their restaurant, Tuscan Oven. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.

Instead of showing the same-day picture slideshow, which we do for full weddings, we decided to bring a 30inch Mac monitor and display the pictures from the three slideshows in Italy. People LOVED this, and didn't stop coming up to us all night saying how awesome the pictures are :)

Here's a few pictures, I'll post the full slideshow later today.

Images from the Italy Trip

2010-06-24T12:23:00.010-04:00

Sorry I've been so slow in posting these pictures from the trip!

If you've been at a wedding I've photographed, you've met photographer Michael before. He's been shooting with me since I started and has become very reliable, and was even able to come on this Italy trip (I guess it would have been tough to turn down haha).

We flew out of JFK on Saturday (6/5), had a stop in Zurich, and arrived in Rome Sunday afternoon. After picking up the rental car, we drove north 3 hours to Pisa to see the leaning tower...and wow it sure is leaning!

After only staying for in Pisa for about 30 mins, we got back into the car to drive east to Florence. By the time we arrived, it was too late to do anything, so we just grabbed some Pizza and checked into the Hotel.

The next morning (Monday), we got an early start and went to climb the Campanile di Giotto in the Piazza del Duomo.

Check out how curved the walls are!

The view of Florence from the top

View of the Piazza del Duomo once we were back down. Good thing we did the climb early in the morning, by the time we got back down it was already almost 90 degrees!

The museum housing the real David statue was closed, like most places on Monday in Florence, but this is the replica where the real one used to stand

Me taking a picture of the famous Ponte Vecchio. This is the only bridge that didn't get destroyed by the Germans in WWII and now it's full of jewelry shops haha

Ponte Vecchio

View from the only store on the Ponte Vecchio that has a balcony!

We left Florence around noon and made a quick stop in Siena, about an hour south of Florence. Siena is absolutely beautiful, but very difficult to drive around in...manual transmissions and a city set in a mountain haha. This picture is from my iPhone...not too bad!

Then it was off to Todi, where we were meeting up with Danielle and Jon Paul to shoot the wedding. We stayed in an AMAZING agriturismo (which is similar to a bed and breakfast in the US) that was owned and run by one of the nicest families you can ever know! If you're ever in the region, or even if you're not, you MUST stay here! Their website is www.agriturismotodi.com, everything about it was just so relaxing and stress-free. Here's a view from the place, and you would get a similar view from this regardless of where you looked, even if you were down in the pool!

Tuesday (6/8) we shot Danielle and Jon Paul's Engagement Session in the city of Todi, which is actually where they were engaged two years ago, how cool is that!? Tuesday night was the rehearsal dinner back at the Agriturismo (incredible food, like a 7 course meal haha), and Wednesday was the wedding. I'll have a separate post for these which will come soon.

Thursday morning we left Todi and traveled south 3 hours to Pompei to see the ancient city. This was definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen, to see a city that was buried by a volcano in the year 47 AD, and then lost for 1800 years!

Check out some of the artwork on the walls

Much of the city is still being excavated

The hot ash from the volcano pitted away at the brick.

Mt. Vesuvius in the background -- the volcano that covered Pompei

Look at this detail! Amazing how well it was preserved, and now has a protective case around it.

Pottery and a body in a protective case.

Roads for the chariots

After leaving Pompei, we continued south for another hour to Sorrento, here's a picture from the drive, literally on the cliff.

Touring Pompei in the 95+ degree heat was very tiring, so we immediately went into the pool at our hotel in Sorrento once we checked in. Also from my iPhone.

Friday (6/9) morning, we took the ferry from Sorrento to the island of Capri.

After arriving in Capri, we took the cable car up to Capri Town, which is a little city of tourist shops and amazing views (of course)

Photographer Michael posing for a picture overlooking Marina Grande in Capri

Then we took another bus ride even further up the mountain (again on a winding road along a cliff) to Anacapri. Now check out this view!!! Mt. Vesuvius is the faint mountain all the way on the left.

The boats in this picture look deceivingly small from how high up we were. The boat on top is a mini cruise ship, and the three below it each have about 30 people on them! Look how clear this water is...

Back at our hotel in Sorrento, there were tons of orange and lemon trees, look at the size of these lemons haha

Another view from the hotel pool with Mt. Vesuvius in the background

Saturday around noon we left Sorrento and headed 4 hours north back towards Rome. At this point we were both pretty tired and just dropped off the rental car, and checked into the last hotel at the airport for a 7am flight the next morning.

Talk about a busy week! We were able to see a lot of cool things, and photograph one AMAZINGGGG wedding, and pictures for that will be coming soon!

Wedding: Jackie & Chris 6-20-10

2010-06-20T22:19:00.003-04:00

Well we are back from Italy (pictures coming soon) and just shot the wedding of Jackie and Chris (engagement session slideshow). The weather reports said thunderstorms all day but we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Everything turned out so beautiful. Check out some of the pictures that I put up during the reception, and check back soon for the full slideshow!

Off to Italy!

2010-06-05T09:25:00.004-04:00

Getting ready to leave to head out to Italy to shoot the wedding of Danielle and Jon Paul. We first met these two at Jon Paul's sister's wedding, Johanna and Brett (see slideshow). Jon Paul's family owns a set of Italian restaurants that you absolutely have to check out, just simply amazing. If you're ever in Norwalk, CT or Mount Kisco, NY definitely stop at Tuscan Oven. For you west coast people, make sure to check out Pasta Moto, with locations in San Francisco and Novato currently (many more to come to Southern CA).

We'll be shooting on Tuesday and Wednesday in Todi, which is a small town an hour north of Rome, and then staying until that Sunday so we'll have plenty of traveling to do. So far, the other stops include Pisa, Florence, Siena, Naples, Pompei, Sorrento, Capri, and of course Rome.

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures along the way and update them here when we are back!

Most weddings we book now are full day coverage, so the guys (with a little extra time in the morning) will usually go out to lunch, play golf, etc. Marc and the guys decided to go play paintball...and photog Michael got to go along, with mask and all, into the paintball game...how cool is that!?!

Here are the pictures I put up at the reception, check back soon for the full slideshow!

Weekend Update

2009-09-07T20:15:00.004-04:00

First off, sorry to everyone who has emailed me since Thursday that I haven't been able to respond to until tonight, this was another very busy weekend!

Here's a schedule of some of the past events:

Thursday afternoon I got back from Michigan, and immediately drove 10 prints from Janelle and Will's Trash Your Dress down to Creative Framing in Monroe for Kosal and Eric to frame. These prints are going on display in Janelle and Will's new clothing store, Gossip, in Wickford, RI!! HOW COOL?? I'll post a picture when they send me one. Since everything was so busy, I wasn't even able to see the finished frames before they were dropped off Sunday morning for Janelle.

Did I mention Sunday was Kosal's wedding....and they were still able to crank out 10 frames. I already got a text from Janelle saying how totally awesome they look, and I'm not surprised, Kosal and Eric do AMAZING work! When I need something framed, I just give Kosal and Eric the picture and have them do their magic on what they think will look best, and they always come out amazing!

Friday afternoon/night I shot Katie & Billy's rehearsal at St. Peter's Church in Danbury and then La Fortuna Restaurant in Bethel. It was definitely a fun night and I was able to get the slideshow done that same night so everyone could check out the pictures while getting ready!

Click Here for Katie & Billy's Rehearsal Slideshow!

Saturday was the wedding for Katie & Billy. I started shooting at 8:30 (normal time), but the cool thing was they live right down the street! We didn't figure this out until after we first met about a year ago to look over some of the sample albums...how crazy!! Everything about this wedding was beautiful. With about 300 guests, there were monstrous (like Circus size) tents in the back yard of Katie and Billy's new house. I'll post the pictures that I showed during the reception in the next post.

After I finished shooting at 2:30am Sunday morning (yep...18 hours of shooting!), I had to quickly download and backup my cards and get to sleep because I was shooting Sunday also. Shooting two weddings in a weekend is something I don't usually do, but because Kosal and Mariaelena's wedding was that date, I couldn't say no. Back when they were figuring out a date, they actually gave me 4-5 dates to see what I was available for since they HAD to have me as their photographer...I LOVE that :)

Sunday's wedding was also incredible in a very different way. Only about 60 people total, and the ceremony was right on the beach....as in I still have sand in my shoes :) It couldn't have been a more beautiful day for a wedding. After I posted pictures during the reception on my laptop, people couldn't stop coming up saying how awesome the pictures were, which we of course we love hearing! One couple, that wasn't even engaged yet, said that I will be the photographer for their wedding...after she gets the ring of course haha. I'll post the pictures I showed at the reception in a few.

Next weekend we'll be shooting right on the water of Lake Michigan for Caitlin & Dave!

Check back end of this week/early next week for the full slideshows of Katie & Billy and Mariaelena & Kosal.

Engagements: Kristin & Marc

2009-08-27T17:53:00.003-04:00

Kristin and Marc wanted to have their engagement session down in Baltimore where they are working and living right now. Since I didn't have any weddings that weekend, I said I'd love to come down there.

Friday night I met up Kristin and Marc at their apartment and right away we went to grab some food and drinks. We immediately bonded and it felt like just hanging out with longtime friends.

Saturday was super hot and humid out which made it a little tough for shooting. Here's a few shots from during the day:

After being out in the hot sun, it was time for a good nap back in the cool apartment! Later that night, we were able to go out and take some night pictures, here's a few of them :) For more, check the full slideshow at the bottom!

Trash your dress: Janelle & Will

2009-08-26T21:52:00.002-04:00

Last Wednesday, I was able to schedule a shoot with Janelle and Will in Rhode Island. It was definitely a fun filled two days, with Janelle coming up with TONS of ideas and props. We literally shot all day Wednesday and half the day Thursday. Being the nice people they are, they let me stay with them in their Rhode Island house, complete with a hot tub to relax in after a long day of playing :) On top of that, I got treated to meals (and ice cream) all weekend!!

Here's a few pictures, and a link for full slideshow is at the bottom!

Crazy Week!

2009-08-23T20:59:00.002-04:00

So these have been a super busy past few days...

Wednesday through Friday Morning I went to Rhode Island to do a Trash Your Dress shoot with Janelle and Will (Janelle's sister is Dana whose wedding I shot last year, and cousin Mike whose wedding I shot this year).

Janelle and Will are two amazinggggg people and we had a blast taking pictures. They even let me stay with them in their house in RI :) Check back later this week for a longer post on them and some of the photos.

Friday afternoon I met up with my cousin that was visiting from California and their 2 year old daughter! Check out this picture from my aunt's blackberry. Seriously, how cute is she?

Then Friday night I continued to Baltimore and met up with Kristin and Marc whose wedding I'm shooting in October. We were able to schedule an engagement session for them down in Baltimore with their super busy schedules (medical and surgical residency programs...woah!!!), and I got to stay with them in their apartment also :)

We shot Saturday and Saturday night (pictures and a longer post coming later this week), and I left Sunday morning.

On the way back to CT, I passed through Philly and met up with Kristen for lunch (I shot her and John's wedding last year). If you check out my new website, that photo on the home page is from Kristen and John's wedding.

I think I'm going to sleep for a bit and then get to work on all these amazing photos from the week, check back later for updates!

Now usually I limit bookings to only one wedding a weekend, but after Kelly first introduced herself to me over email, complete with a 3 page story her and Richard's past, pictures included, I couldn't say no. They have been living in Australia the past three years and are two of the nicest people ever! Growing up here in CT, the decided to have the wedding at the Candlewood Inn (the whole staff kept commenting on how I was back again!).

Here's a short preview of some of the images that I put up at the reception:

Scott and the guys go out for some golf in the morning.

Jessica make matching sandals for her bridal party to wear during the reception, such a great idea!

Hey I found a photo from their engagement!

The girls went to get their hair and makeup done at The Hair Loft:

Check out this cool reflection from the ceiling of the hotel elevator

Jessica surprised getting a limo! When we were still inside the hotel, she mentioned to me, "oh that's what we should be going in" haha.

Great ring shot from photog Michael!

Shooting the first kiss usually comes out the same, but I love getting the moment right before they actually kiss:

Scott being surprised by a bagpipe player!

Slideshow coming soon!

Here's a few shots from Cristina and Jason's wedding that I thought were still pretty cool.

Susan Houde from Naomi's Studio & Salon did the makeup for all the girls in the morning and everything came out of course amazing. Some dramatic lighting from an additional flash I set up on the floor:

Bridesmaid's daughter smelling some flowers and loving it!

This is Vinny, the manager of Villa Barone Hilltop Manor where the reception took place...and was AMAZING! The whole staff did and incredible job and Vinny was so helpful!

This is the band, the Carozza Bros. who have been playing together for over 25 years!! They definitely made sure everyone had a great time, they totally rocked!

Right after the ceremony when things were calming down outside for a bit I snuck this shot of Matt and Stacey, the videographers...definitely some of the best I've worked with! Check out their site, and congrats...Matt and Stacey are getting married!

Taylor & Mike's Wedding 7-4-09

Woodwinds, Branford CT

We shot Taylor and Mike's wedding on July 4th and we had an absolute blast! I arrived at their new house at 7:30am where Taylor was getting ready with the rest of the girls. The whole morning felt like a party right from the start...I knew we were going to get awesome pictures.

I actually met Taylor and Mike from a wedding I shot last July 4th of Dana & Luke. Tay and Mike came up to me during the wedding last year after seeing some of the pictures I put up during the reception, and immediately asked if I would shoot their wedding the following year!

Here's a short preview of some of the images that I put up during Tay and Mike's reception.

Slideshow and a few more images to come soon!

Taylor & Mike's Rehearsal 7-3-09

2009-07-07T09:46:00.003-04:00

This was a super busy weekend! I got into town late Thursday night and was able to rest up before shooting Taylor & Mike's Rehearsal on Friday. We started at St. Francis Church to do a run through of the ceremony, then went on to Torrington Country Club for the dinner party. Everyone was having a great time and couldn't wait for the wedding on Saturday! I got home and started working on the slideshow, and didn't make it to bed until around 1am....doesn't make for getting up at 5am too easy.

Here's a few pictures from the rehearsal :)
