Lil' Declan!

One of the most satisfying parts of our jobs as fotographers is to reconnect with our couples as their families grow. Kara & Mike were married a few years ago, and we fotographed their wedding, so we were delighted to hear that they had a little guy in the picture now, and they wanted us to meet him and capture all his cuteness.

Click HERE to watch a rockin' slideshow of this little guy and his mommy & daddy!

Meet lil' Declan, a cute little red head baby boy (just like his parents...the red hair that is!)

Love : Interpreted : A Women's Photography Show

love interpreted

Next Friday I (Krystal) will be having an photography art opening along eight other women photographers at the MAC 650 Artspace Gallery in Middletown, CT. My good friend and fellow photographer Nikki Nicole Rinaldi organized the show. The theme for our show is Love : Interpreted, and will be a showcase of our individual interpretations of love- with a requirement to think outside of the box. Because most of us ladies fotograph weddings, we are use to creating images of love for our clients, so it will be interesting to see the other ways that we all showcase love in our work.

I'm very excited to have the opportunity to be showing some of my personal art fotographs, because though I fotograph for myself quite often, most of the images sit quietly on a hard drive, waiting for me to create art pieces from them. I have not had a personal art showing since I graduated from art school, but this show is inspiring me to get out there and find other venues to show my work, so hopefully I'll have some other shows in the near future.

I will be doing a post about my pieces and the opening, after the show opens next Friday.

I would love to see you all there at the opening!!! Tantalizing refreshments and alluring beverages will be served, and it should be a great evening for all!

Jaime + Scott: Wedding

Well, the wedding season has come to a close for Paul & I, and we are now have the time to catch up on some posts about this year's weddings. First up is our wonderful couple Jaime + Scott. Jaime is a branch manager of our bank, Webster Bank, and we met her years ago. She has always been a fan of ours (and we are fans of her as well!), and told us years ago when she gets married she wanted to have us fotograph her wedding. Well she did have us, and we were so honored to be part of her and Scott's day! Their wedding was a lot of fun, and we are so happy for them!

The day started at a pretty little salon and spa in Enfield, Connecticut called "Scruples." Jaime's awesome makeup was done by Melissa, who is also getting married next October (and we might be fotographing her wedding too!)

I LOVE this shot...not posed mind you.

Jaime finished getting ready at Scott's parents home in Enfield. Their home is near some beautiful tobacco fields, which Enfield is well known for. The backyard of their property is lovely, and right next to one of the tobacco fields....and we had the most stunningly beautiful, perfect sunny day. Paul & I just had to bring Jaime's dress outside to fotograph!

We loved Jaime's mom...she made us feel like family the minute we walked into the salon, giving us a big hug!!! I love this moment between mom & daughter.

One of my absolute favorite parts of a wedding is when the newlyweds dance with their parents. I usually tear up, it's so emotional....

A friend gave Jaime + Scott a gift of sharing his amazing tap-dancing talent! I tap-danced for years when I was younger, and I was very impressed with this guy!
