MY 30TH BDAY COUNTDOWN

September 27, 2007

THATS RIGHT IN JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS I WILL BE TURNING 30!

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! YOU ALWAYS FEAR THE AGE THAT SEEMS SO FAR AWAY…I CAN REMEMBER BEING 21 AND SAYING THAT 30 IS SO OLD….NOW I AM HERE!

I GUESS IT IS TIME TO START MAKING SOME NEW GOALS THAT SEEM UNREALISTIC BUT I WILL DO! NOW I HAVE TO SIT AND THINK OF THEM!

WELL THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!

Jason Lanier: My wife is turning 30 in November and she is freaking out! Don't sweat it. As long as you still feel 21 then it won't matter!

Carla Ten Eyck: I have to say my 30's have been the highlight of my life! I wouldn't change my age (34) for the world- Haven't you heard Oprah say your 30's are the new 20's anyway. She is always right. ;) How did your shoot go today, Miss?

nikki nicole photography: i hope she is right carla!

September 19, 2007

Okay I know I have posted out of order and I try not to do that but some how it has happened.

I could of not asked for a better fall day then 09.07.07! It is quite odd friday was nice and coll then the next day was hotter than anything…I guess thats how it is sometimes.

Well Heather and Sam tied the knot on this wonderful friday at The Log Cabin. It was a perfect day except the haze in the sky ….which is a bummer cause The Log Cabin has an incredible view on a clear day. Either way Heather look amazing. She has this beauty to her and Sam well….he cleaned up nice too!

I could of not aked for a better couple and guests. I have gotten some of the best candids that day you will have to see for yourself in the slideshow below!

Kelsie & Tommy tied the knot!

Of course it had to be on the second hottest day …in my book…this year for my wedding season. The ceremony and reception was at the Webb Barn in Wethersfield. It is such a cute sopt but only thing is no air conditioning! It’s in an old barn which give you such a rustic feeling.

Regardless every thing went on with out a hitch. As soon as the sun went down it cooled off and the party was jumpin!

Congrat you two!

Here are the 2 flower girls…they are so darn cute!

Walking down with her dad!

I Love this photo! Kelsie & Tommy just looked down and well you can see….

The first dance

B + K = SANTORINI GREECE!

September 12, 2007

Where do I even start? I have been going through these photos for awhile and today got so exctied about the wedding all over again I had to blog and get something up!

It all started when Betsy and Kersten came in and met with me. They originally planned a wedding for this past June at the Farmington Club. During our meeting I asked her WHY NOT GREECE? Only for alot of her family lived in Greece…the mainland that is. Well after our meeting they wanted a contract but instead of returning it they called me and said they changed their wedding to Santorini, Greece!

I was exstatic! Now most know I do alot of Greek wedding here in the states so I was stoked about doing a Greek wedding in Greece…how similar was it to the ceremonys here? I was so excited for the bright white and blue colors of the island, the georgous views for photography, the experience and best of all going with Betsy and Kersten! I could not ask for a better couple!

I was also excited for now this made me an International Destination Photographer yeah!!!!!!

Either way I was stoked!

So we landed in Santorini 2 days before the wedding and got to met Margarita and Maria who took Rob and I around the island alittle and showed us the Greek Church and Venues. I could not believe how small the church was and also to find out there was 250 churches on this little island!

Well now the wedding day came and it was georgous…about 95 but no humidity…..blue skies and a beautiful bride. The ceremony was exactly the same as home except instead of the father walking down the bride he walks her to the front of the church and give her to the groom outside. Then the priest walks the bride and groom into the church. Another interesting fact is they can throw rice inside the church during a certain part of the ceremony.

Either the way I will let you look at the photos and watch the slide show. And let the photos speak for themselves!

Rob took this one before the ceremony all the guys hanging out love it!

Love the color and lines in this one!


The bride and groom!


Amazing sunset!

A little fun!

The bride’s parents on the table …..yes plates were broken!

took of me and Autumn from that day. I say yeah! Well I just got it and cannot stop laughing see yourself!

Okay here the original photo…sometimes we don’t relize the faces we are making!

Here’s the funny one!

Autumn: My, what a big lens you have!

Nice face, Nikki! Though, I know why you were making it, so it's even funnier to me!

S . + . G . = ENGAGEMENT FUN

September 12, 2007

This is the perfect time of the year to be shooting! The light is amazing at night and the crisp cool air is setting in! That’s right fall is about to begin and what better way to enjoy it then a beach engagement session!

Stef + G approached me about going to the beach since their wedding is in the middle of October and they will have foliage. So we went to my favorite beach to shoot at Hammannasset.

What a fun couple…like most once warmed up they were giving me those expressions I love and you can really see how much G love Stef! Just look at his expressions in the below photos! Now if I could only get 2 hours on the wedding day for photos…….hmmmmmmm……


This one is my favorite of the whole evening….love G’s look!

How cute is Stef????

Whats a beach session without a sunset???

I LOVE THE BEACH!

September 12, 2007

So a couple weeks back the Horan family called me and asked if I would drive out to Charlestown, RI for a family portrait on the beach.

So the day was perfect sunny, breezey and perfect temp of about 75. As we walked down to the beach what happens it gets more and more windy! WHAT A CHALLENGE! But I am always up for a good challenge!

Thanks for having me for the day!

I love this one! Reminds me of the Simpsons!
