Kari + Steve's Love Shoot

Kari & Steve are a great couple whose love shoot we photographed in April. They're super fun and down to earth and Kari, who owns Reflections by Kari, is a professional photographer. Their engagement shoot started at a bowling alley because they love to bowl. Unfortunately, the only time the bowling alley had available was 9 am. Steve and Paul joked that it definitely seemed too early to be at the lanes because they couldn't first grab a beer. We still had a so much fun and they're just as goofy as we are. Then we went to Fox Hill Tower where Steve had a chance to show off his gorgeous truck that he takes such amazing care of. We also stopped at Starbucks, which is where they met and had their first date. (How awesome is it that they met on Match.com!?!) After our refreshing ice coffees, we convinced Kari & Steve to be photographed just a little longer, because we were right next to these amazing tobacco barns that I've been dying to shoot in. Kari (and I think Steve) loves old, delapitated barns, so they were game. The shots came out so frickin' awesome if I do say so myself--- I love the rustic, romantic appeal.

Paul & I had such a blast spending the day fotographing Kari & Steve and we are super excited for their wedding in August!!! Thanks guys for just being yourselves and having fun with us!

What guy wouldn't want pictures of his girl on his truck?

R.E. + KELL. E.'s Wedding Reception

Last Friday night we attended the wedding reception of our friends Richard Esposito & his lovely wife Kelley, who were married last month in California. I was pretty cool to be a guest at a wedding---that doesn't happen too much for us, because we're usually the photographers when we're at a wedding. The illustrious Matt Grazier was the official photographer for the evening, and Carla & Mike set up a photo booth for us all to make fools of our self in. It's hard to keep a bunch of crazy photographers out of a photo booth.....we are naturally goof balls!

I stole these pics of off Carla's blog and R.E.'s blog to share with everyone. I'll link to a slideshow of the foto booth later when Carla or R.E. gets a chance to put that up.


The illustrious Mr. Grazier

We had a blast...Congrats R.E. & Kell E (my new nickname for Kelley)!!!

Kristi + Joe's Love Shoot

In the early spring, we had a fantastically fun engagement shoot up in Killington Ski Resort in Vermont, with our fabulous couple Kristi & Joe. Kristi & Joe are high school sweethearts, avid snowboarders, and have a cute little cabin in Vermont where they get away almost every weekend during the winter. Paul is a good skier, but I've only skied a few times in my life, so he ended up shooting the action shots up on the mountain. I was going to try to ski while we were there, but it was incredibly cold and windy- the kind of wind that takes your breath away. So, I thought it might be best not to kill my unexperienced self. Lucky for me, our good photographer friends Jacklyn & Chris happened to be at Killington for the weekend also, so I spent a couple hours hangin' with them in the lodge while Paul, Kristi and Joe were off taking AWESOME action fotos!!

Paul & I had such an amazing time fotographing and just hanging out with Kristi & Joe. They are such down to earth, awesome people, and we are very much looking forward to their wedding in October.

We were going to set their slideshow to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Walkin' in the Sunshine, but had a hard time finding the song. We watched Juno a couple nights ago, and heard this very adorable song by Barry Louis Polisar on the sountrack that reminded us of Kristi & Joe's playful spirt with each other. We thought it fit them perfectly, so enjoy!!





How cute are they?







One of my faves!



Oh yah?!! Take this!



Check out Joe's reflection!



Another one of my faves!



How adorable is Kristi?



Wicked!!!



Narly, Dude!



That ain't right!!



At their favorite pub.. Mogul's Sports Pub, where all the locals hang : )





Beautiful light...



It was so cold and windy!!





Giddy-up!!



Kristi & Joe's cute little cabin, where we hung for the weekend...



Warming up at Bentley's Restaurant in Woodstock later that evening, over burgers & beer.



On the way back to the cabin, we found a cool, covered bridge to shoot in. We set up the car's headlights to backlight this awesome shot!!!



We ended up staying on Sunday to hang with Jack & Chris--check out Jacklyn's awesome blog post to see fotos of our fun time with them.
