Destination Wedding | Scott and Kimberly | Windsor, CT

View Photographer Profile

•  I first met Kim in 2001… I can’t recall which show we met at first but for the next couple years we would travel all over the country seeing Joe McIntyre and staying in hotel rooms together.  Kim now joins all my other “Joe” friends and/or their kids on the blog – Gianina (who was my kick butt assistant for this wedding), Lisa and Kimberly.   When it came time to choose a wedding photographer Kim told me she couldn’t find anyone in Connecticut that she liked as much as me.  Awwww.  So she flew me out!

•  I never had the pleasure of meeting Scott but as soon as I met him I knew why they were meant to be.  They are so similar in personality and complement each other perfectly.  It was lovely to see my friend SO happy and with someone so perfect for her.

•  One thing I love so much about them is that they took a trip to Colorado and loved it so much they picked up and moved from Connecticut.  No jobs lined up, no plans – just loved it and moved.  People that do that inspire me.  So amazing!  So this wedding was a bit of a destination wedding not only for me but for them as well.

•  I was so, so excited when I drove up and saw the church that the ceremony was in.  I love historic churches and it isn’t often that I get to shoot in one here in Ohio (I think I’ve only shot in one) – however in New England they are EVERYWHERE.  So I did a bit of a happy dance when I saw her adorable church that was built in 1858.

•  One of the neatest things during the ceremony was the handbell ensemble.  The church was Kim’s from childhood and she used to be in the handbell ensemble so it was important for her to participate.  Not only were they magical sounding but really fun to watch them play!  Definitely something that was neat to see!

•  This year has produced some crazy weather.  The day before their wedding it wad 60º and pouring all day – to the point there was flood warnings.  All week it was predicted to do the same on their wedding day but magically the rain held off and it was dry and a crazy 80º and about a million percent humidity.  I have to say it was more sticky than most of the weddings I shot this summer with crazy mosquitos to boo thanks to the flooding from Irene.  I guess Ohio isn’t the only state with wild weather!

While he’s only drinking water he does look like it is a bit stronger doesn’t it?

Since our roots go back to the New Kids On the Block I thought it was only appropriate that I request a New Kids song!  This is her reaction.  Ha!

Put your hands in the air wave them in the air!  If you’re ready to rock with the New Kids On the Block can someone say oh yeah!

Not only was there lots of laughs and fun on the dance floor but lots of cuddles and love during the slow songs as well.

 

Thank you Scott and Kim for having me out to your home state, not only was it amazing to see you two say I do but it was so great to see a dear friend marry someone so lovely!

Jennifer & Dennis | New Seabury Country Club

View Photographer Profile

The most difficult part for me, when posting some new wedding photos is the writing part, I am not good at it and it’s always the last thing on my to-do list, haha. There is no way, my words will do this wedding justice, and I’m having real difficulties expressing how much I loved being part of your big day! Everything looked so beautiful, and you guys are such a sweet, kind, loving couple! …. Jen, I think I’ll always remember you as “the bride that never stopped smiling” :o) What a day, I don’t blame you :o)

Jennifer & Dennis held their ceremony at the First Congregational Church in Falmouth, and held their reception at the beautiful New Seabury County Club on the Cape.

Thanks so much to both of you for a wonderful day. A very special thank you also to both sides of the family, you were ALL sooooo very nice, and wonderful to work with! Thank you so much for letting us be part of your big day!

Fist off … Jen, I am obsessed with your shoes … there, I admit it … SO VERY PRETTY!

Meet Jennifer, the beautiful bride:

Ok, you think this is gorgeous? ….

… Look at this!! WOWZER!

The beautiful bridesmaids, loved the dresses and the little blingy details:

Sometimes I wish I had audio attached to my photos, everybody was singing on the way to the church …

Don’t cry … you’ll make the photographer cry too …

Not sure if you can see it on this photo, but the bottom of Jen’s bouquet had such a pretty lacy detail … looked so elegant!

Look at that veil & the colors of the water, how cool! The water must be reflecting the clear blue sky we had.

Some more traditional poses, pretty, pretty, what a setting …

And some more “untraditional” of the girls that Jen wanted to have. Love them!

The handsome groom Dennis:

Loove this shot:

… and this one too:

What a fun couple … I barely had to pose them!

Hehe:

Gooorgeous:

Gorgeous, cute … fun … you cover it all!

And this one took my breath away when I saw it:

… oh, and ROMANTIC! (I don’t even think you knew I took this shot, hehe, told you … you’re naturals) :o)

Some detail shots from the reception:

[I'll actually post a couple more dancing shots later this week (there was a LOT of dancing), but I wanted to share these with you for the time being]:

Wait!! What’s the bride doing with a cow bell in her hand??? Hahahaha … they had too much fun!!!

And the last shot of the evening: Once the light went on again and all the guests said their good byes, the band was already packing their equipment … Jen & Dennis had their last dance that evening

(How cute are they??):

A special thank you also to my 2nd photographer Corey, who came alllll the way from Maine. It was so much fun working with you! Thanks for joining me! :o)
