I had the pleasure of meeting Eileen and Ryan at the Penfield Pavilion on the beach in Fairfield, CT.  We did their mini-engagement shoot in the fading evening sun while getting to know one another before their big day in November.  A more laid back pair you’ll never meet!  I look forward to a really nice wedding day with a bride and groom that are there to get married, relax with friends and family and have some fun!

So this is our engagement shoot with Jen and Kevin.  I can’t express how much fun they were to work with as a couple!  We had a blast at Ocean Beach park in New London, CT.  Kevin was a little leery about being the subject of ALL the images, but I impressed upon him that it’s really Jen who was the main attraction.  With this information, he relaxed and we got a ton of pictures of him relaxed and having fun :)  Our original shoot ideas had fallen through, there was going to be a Harley Davidson, possible vehicular infractions and straight up craziness!  But they were so “go with the flow” that it was just a breeze of a shoot.  They were even open to trying a “different” type of engagement image (ring light!).  Enjoy the images.  Oh, and I think they’re Red Sox fans… If anybody is keeping

Erin and Padraic (near as I can tell it’s pronounced “Patrick,” but cool spelling, eh?) are probably two of the nicest, most genuine people I’ve ever worked with.  Real Strawberry Road folks.  They’re having their wedding August 7th at the same vineyard Jennie and I did a style shoot last year, check it out here!  We got together yesterday to go over details for their big day.  They didn’t have any engagement shots,  so as we did a quick walk around the main house discussing the details of their wedding day we put together a nice collection of images that I think really sums up their collective personality :)  We had a ton of fun!  I think I might even use the term cajoling to describe our tongue-in-cheek, albeit impromptu shoot.  Thanks guys, I had a blast.  PS, the last image is my favorite…
