Headshot :: Chris :: Talented Singer and Newly Engaged Groom To Be

Chris contacted me a few weeks back about setting up a surprise proposal for his girlfriend and capturing those emotional moments. That meeting was actually a prime example of multitasking! Chris had an audition in NYC that next day and was also in need of a headshot asap. Below is Chris's headshot from that meeting - he definitely chose the right shirt with those blue eyes!

I felt so privileged to be a part of Chris and Danielle's engagement last week at Cork 'N Hearth in Lee, MA. It was such a beautiful moment and I can't wait to share it with you in a few weeks!
 

Wadsworth Mansion Wedding :: Middletown, Connecticut :: Jessica and Arek's Sneak Peek

Jessica and Arek's wedding last Saturday at the Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown, Connecticut was so beautiful. The weather and setting were perfect, the sun was shining and Wadsworth Mansion is such a romantic, charming venue. Jessica and Arek both looked so beautiful and their friends and family were a pleasure to be around. During Jessica and Arek's first look it seemed like they could not stop smiling and their excitement and love was so apparent and even contagious. I felt so honored to be a part of it all.

Hotel Northampton :: Northampton, Massachusetts :: Elisa & Matt's Wedding Sneak Peek

Elisa and Matt had such a gorgeous wedding this past Saturday! These two make a truly beautiful couple. Whenever I've met with them, they are quick to smile and laugh, and their love is just so apparent. I knew that their wedding would be the amazing day that it was!

After getting ready separately at the Hotel Northampton (a member of Historic Hotels of America that offers such beautiful spaces - from the grand ballroom to the atrium as you first step into the building) Elisa and Matt orchestrated what I'm calling 'half of a first look' (stay tuned to see more of that on another post!) before heading to their ceremony a couple of buildings over. After their ceremony at First Churches of Northampton we orchestrated a 'quick' group photo of everyone who attended. Then we slowly made our way back to the Hotel Northampton, taking plenty of photos on the way, for their lively reception. 

I'm excited to edit all of their wedding photos. But for now I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek of their day!
