On Friday October the 13th Nikki & Danny got married at the Higganum Congregational Church. Before the ceremony I had a wonderful opportunity to go with Nikki and the girls to the Goodspeed Opera House Pier and take some photos. The lighting was beautiful as you can see. Due to the time of the sunset we did our post ceremony photos inside. The day went well and we had a blast at the reception which was held in the Wagon Room at the Aqua Turf.

Declan's First Photo Shoot!

I recently had a photo shoot with Declan and his mom. Declan will be a year old in December. It was his first photo shoot! He did great! We had some good cries as you can tell and a few screams but after a couple of minutes Declan was fine.

Ritsa & Jason are getting married!

On October 15th Ritsa & Jay will be tying the knot! We recently went to Wickham Park in Manchester for their engagement photos. We had such a blast. We all could not stop laughing.

Erie is getting married!

My assistant Erika is getting married. Erie and I have been working and become friends over the last 5 years. For her engagement pictures we went for a day to Gilette's Castle and the pier at the Goodspeed Opera House. We had so much fun and creativity. Below are a few from her session.

Well Erie now instead of carrying another wedding dress train you will be carrying your own. Her wedding is for Sept 23 and I cannot wait!

Fun With Meg & Ryan!

A coulpe of weeks ago I had a portrait session with a brother and sister, Meg & Ryan. We had so much fun. The best was capturing that natural smile of both of them.
