This past weekend, Jennie and I had the opportunity to photograph the wedding of Megan and Mark at the Fox Hopyard Golf Club.  Although we worked hard to get great images for them, I will say that as photographers, we were quite pampered!  They welcomed us as photographers and as people too.  We were told to have whatever we wanted of the hors d’eouvres (and I probably went a little overboard on the scallops wrapped in bacon), and we were also invited to sit with the guests during dinner (we both had the filet mignon).  We had a fabulous time!  Good luck Megan and Mark, you’ve done well to surround yourselves with such a nice group of people! Mark’s dad ushered the bride and groom to the altar with some very nice guitar work and great vocals to boot! This group shot is actually an amazing feat.  We took this

The Golden Lamb Buttery located in my hometown of Brooklyn, CT is a dream setting for a classic, pastoral New England wedding.  Inside the restaurant is an ecclectic experience where history and the present come together in an atmosphere of comfort and warmth.  Jennie and I wanted to capture that feeling with the images from our shoot that day.  Amanda and Dave (our bride and groom, respectively) spent an afternoon with us setting a scence of beauty and elegance set against this classic New England Treasure.  Go deeper into the blog for more on our lovely bride’s flowers…

We at Strawberry Road had decided long ago to try to be as carbon neutral a company as possible.  In doing so, we had investigated the possibility of solar, geothermal, even hydrogen power to run our studios.  It wasn’t until Jennie took a backpacking excursion through europe that culminated with tobagganing in the alps that she realized we could use tiny elephants on treadmills to power the studios.  (She was taken by Hannibal’s story and well, way to think outside the box Jennie!)  Anyhow, the tiny elephants have worked out very well for us.  However, in true Jurassic park fashion, chaos theory has reared its ugly head and caused major issues for us here at Strawberry Road… In all seriousness, this is what we came up with for the ShootStyle photo assignment titled “the moment after.”  Nobody ever said we were normal…
