A Baby Shower

Capturing events through photography allows you to freeze moments in time and share stories in a unique and powerful way. There’s something magical about the process of preparation, anticipation, and then the thrill of capturing those special moments as they unfold.

My first shot was an image that shows what the weather was like. It also gives the viewer an idea of what the neighborhood looks like.

The beginning.

I really enjoy showing what I always called ” My Martha Stewart Shots”. These are the images taken before people start messing up the decor.

Revel with dinner thyme was the caterer for this baby shower. I do like to take images of people at work, I feel it is a very important part of the day.

I like to shoot very shallow depth of field on these so the eye will focus in the foreground. This is my 50mm 1.8 lens, I love it. Shot with the Canon R8.

Mix vertical with horizontal shots. Keep telling a story.

Veggies and candy with the photo of the expected mama in the background.

Veggies never looked so good.

wedding at aspetuck valley country club

Funny how coincidences work. I photographed Aspetuck’s member guest tournament in July and this past weekend I had the opportunity to shoot a wedding at the very same venue. Renaud is the club’s manager and now we are very familiar with each other.

I really love the cakes at weddings, they are always so good.

The challenges in shooting weddings are working with conditions where you have to move fast and being ready for something interesting to happen. What I like most about it is showing the bride my interpretation of what happened this one day.

Photographing weddings allows me to use my knowledge of photographing portraits, shooting products and being creative.

Connecticut Garden Wedding

We beat the storm!! There was a lot of concern whether we would beat the weather. Hurricane Henri was on its way and it missed us by a day. Unfortunately my Sunday event wasn’t so lucky but I am told they will be rescheduling it soon.

Allison and Bobby were married during Covid-19 so they chose this past Saturday to have friends and family celebrate with them. The father and mother of the groom held the event at their beautiful home on the Westport, Fairfield border. The gardens were gorgeous and we chose to take the “posey” shots there. Friends and family wandered the grounds which included a pool and a barn that was converted into a lounge.

After a tiny misting, everyone entered a tent where the party continued. I used a variety of lenses for this shoot. My favorite portrait lens is an 85mm 1.8 fixed lens, I really enjoy how you can blur out the backgrounds with it.
