First Looks

What a beautiful wedding and fabulous couple!  Adrienne and Joey had unlimited energy and patience; they are just awesome.   As always, Robin and the Race Brook team did an amazing job; special thanks to Elliott for his help on the course.  It was hard to choose but here are some of my favorites:

Wickham Park was the perfect backdrop for Kelly and Justin’s wedding.  They are a really special couple which was clear from their first look to their last dance.  Lisa (Creative Concepts by Lisa) and her team’s attention to every last detail made this a truly spectacular day.  Special thanks to Carl Samartano for shooting second with me.  Below are my favorite images:

Their theme was the “Enchantment Under the Sea Dance” from “Back to the Future” but who knew Ashley, Ian, and their guests would need to literally push back the water.  We managed to get past the first look and ceremony without rain but fifteen minutes into the cocktail hour, the rain started.  First rain, then heavy rain, then torrential rain and hurricane force winds. There were some scary moments but everyone held it together.  Through the collapsed tents, fallen tree, and wet dance floor, Ashley and Ian laughed it off and kept spirits high.  Once the sky cleared, things returned to normal.  With every storm there is often a rainbow and we managed to find one!

If you take away the amazing venue, the beautiful dress, and all the other details that made this the perfect wedding, the one thing left is Shannon and Rahsaan’s deep love for one another.  This was evident in one of the most amazing first look’s I’ve had the honor to photograph.  Shannon and Rahsaan’s passion is undeniable as is their love of family .  Special thanks to Lisa (Creative Concepts by Lisa) for planning another perfect wedding.  Here are a few of my favorite images…

The wedding of Colby and Chris was my last of the year and it was fantastic.  Their First Look was very sweet and we were able to capture the moment under some beautiful golden light on the veranda at Race Brook.  It was such a pleasure working with Colby and Chris; they were sooooo much fun.  Special thanks to Carl Samartano for shooting second with me.  Below are some of my favorite pics.
