Wedding: Megan + Eric | Gillette Castle State Park and Gelston House, East Haddam, CT

After Megan and Eric's engagement session, you just knew they were going to pick something great for their wedding - you just knew it (well, at least I just knew it).  I was not disappointed!  We had such an awesome day with them - starting out with some beautiful early morning light at Gillette Castle and then the ceremony and reception at the Gelston House.  Such a cool view from there.  The weather was a bit odd - first it was perfect (got in the outdoor ceremony!), then it poured (while everyone was eating - good timing!) and then...it cleared for about 30 minutes - perfect time to hit the docks!  Love a bride that jumps over puddles and braves a wet dock - I think it was worth it Megan :).

Congratulations guys - hope you had a relaxing time in Maine!

 

Monday Updates

How is everyone this morning?  I could use a little caffeine and some lunch :), but I'm happy to be here.  We had a really nice weekend - getting to document a few awesome events in cool locations always makes us feel lucky (do you guys follow us on instagram [@upliftphotography]?  Tim has been pretty good at posting pics). 

On Saturday, we were at Sleepy Hollow Country Club (which is GORGEOUS, by the way) for Lauren and Bill's wedding.  No rain and so much fun.  Check out this ridiculous photo of Lauren - how beautiful, right??

Oh Bill, did you want to be in one too?  Here you go!  One of my absolute favorites of the day.

It was also at this wedding where Tim took this photo of me that reminds him of Kid 'n Play.  I personally don't see the resemblance. Sidenote: I'm obsessed with my new scarf [shown in this pic]!


And because of that lovely photo, I decided to photoshop him onto some DNA.  So there.  It is my blog and I'll do what I want :) (he also had a test this week so maybe this photo will inspire him?).  What do you think?  Maybe I should show up at school with a poster-sized version of this.


And on Sunday, we had the pleasure of hanging out with Megan and Eric at their Gelston House wedding.  Such a cool spot!  Megan was so relaxed - she walked all around Gilette Castle State Park for her photos before the ceremony with no worries about her dress!  The dress was fine (of course!) and she looked gorgeous coming down the aisle.  I'm loving this pic of them - beautiful morning light.


To round things out today - just wanted to remind everyone of our mini-sessions coming up in 2 weeks!  Definitely let me know if you want a timeslot as a bunch are already filled.  Should be a fun time!

Oh yeah, almost forgot - check out this trouble...I took Sophie to the shoe store the other day. What I picked out is on the right, what she picked is on the left :).  Have a great week!
 

Engagement: Megan + Eric | Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, CT

Megan and Eric are definitely winning the prize for best engagement shoot location that I didn't know about! Sleeping Giant is g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s - seriously beautiful. As I drove in, I felt like I was driving into the forests of Washington State and Oregon, not Connecticut! I was so happy to meet Megan and Eric for the first time - lots of times I talk to clients on the phone, but don't meet them in person for awhile - its always fun to put names/writing/details to a face. That is why engagment sessions are so awesome. Well, that plus the fact that Megan brought me some tomato plants - how nice is she?? I got some gardening advice too (she is a farmer!) - so cool. I'm so psyched already for their upcoming wedding at the Gelston House! Happy Friday everyone!!
