Every year fellow photographer Brad Smith and I head down to Mystic, Connecticut for the annual Mystic Seminars.   The seminars are a symposium of photographers showing their work, sharing their business practices and letting us eek out whatever we as photographers can of the very talented lot of speakers.  The down season for us New England photographers is a chance to collect our thoughts, shape our visions for the upcoming wedding season and well, prepare our taxes.  But in an effort to keep our cameras from collecting too much dust or too many pictures of our kids, Brad and I make the effort to book a model to shoot before the seminars begin.  This year, we found Nikki to work with us.  We also invited Rhode Island photographer  Robyn Ivy along for the shoot.   Brad, Robyn and I took Nikki out to Avery Point for some style shooting then went

Audrey and Chris are a great couple!  Very easy going, fun to work with and well, they threw a great wedding for me to photograph!  The Golden Lamb Buttery was the setting and we really couldn’t have asked for a better day.  The outdoor wedding was held in a field adjacent to the buttery and the skies held back the afternoon shower that passed through with plenty of time for nuptials and a receiving line.  A brief shower passed leaving the skies full of tumultuous looking clouds that made for some really cool outdoor portraits.   It was also my first experience working with Jamie from Eventfully Planned and that was a great experience as well!  With live folk music filling the hall in the barn and dancing, great speeches and some really fun people, we couldn’t have asked for a better day.            

Dana contacted me through ModelMayhem asking if I wanted to make some images with her for her portfolio.  We met up at a local park for what turned out to be a pretty quick photo session!  Temperatures were falling fast and sunset this time of year lasts all of 15 minutes.  But we made the best of it and we were both pleased with the results!
