JESSICA & CJ : FREEZING COLD LOVE!

"It was the summer of '94 and we were both working at
Tunxis Plantation (golf course). The following summer,95,
2 weeks before I was leaving for college, I told CJ I had
a crush on him. He asked me if I wanted a ride on his golf
cart..... 7 years later we are here." -Jessica





ENGAGED: JESSICA & CJ





So right after I got home from England in November Meg and I
had the privilege of meeting up with Jessica & CJ and get to
know them a bit better before their wedding in May! Of course
it had to be the windiest and cold day in December!

We had decided to have their day in Hartford.... seeming they live, work
and eat in the city it was perfect!

We started out walking around Bushnell Park. I have to say I have
photographed many many times in this city and everytime it
amazes me. I turn around a corner and there is always something
different.



So we are all walking around and CJ talks about his favorite
street in Hartford. So we walk down it and find these really cool
old front porches and alleys.








We were walking around towards a place to warm up and I was like STOP!!!!

GO IN THERE! LIGHTING YES LOVE IT!


Then Meg was laughing at herself.
I noticed she was taking photos in something so I said lets get one
together! Just having some fun!



After warming up a bit we headed towards the lights on Constitution
Plaza!

It was cold thanks guys for braving it!




We wrapped up the night at Jessica & CJ's Place.

Getting all cozy in the stair wells and with some wine!



Thanks guys for sooooo much fun!

Nikki and Meg! We had so much fun with you guys and we LOVE our pics. The wedding will be so fun! BTW, it's 14 years later, not 7, since that fateful ride in the golf cart...
