Update and Part 2 of Josh and Melissa

Wow...it's been a long time since my last post. We have been so busy with traveling, photographing, organizing, computer issues (resolved!), and editing images, that I have gotten quite behind with the blog posts. I'll try to catch up over the next few weeks posting some of the exciting events and engagement sessions that we covered this fall.

By the time I have it all posted, I'm sure there will be a bunch of new stuff to post!

Finally, Part 2 - Josh and Melissa, Saybrook Point Inn!

Right after the ceremony there was champagne inside the inn and congratulatory hugs.

Melissa and Josh made this wedding their own with a lot of personal touches! Josh proposed to Melissa when they were collecting sea glass on the beach. They incorporated the theme of the ocean by using sea glass and shells on the table displays and centerpieces, and note their awesome cake a little further down.



Melissa, always looked amazing...even when taken by surprise by the unexpected dip!! We love capturing the heartfelt moments and there were so many of them...














There was such a feeling of warmth and happiness throughout their day. It was obvious that everyone was having an amazing time!




I think everyone fell in love with these two!


Josh and Melissa, it was such a lovely wedding! Thank you for choosing us to photograph your day!

Married: Josh & Melissa, Saybrook Point Inn - Part 1

Josh and Melissa were married on an overcast day in August. Melissa's mother rented a beach house in Old Saybrook for the family and wedding party to get ready at. These first photos were taken there. Rick and I moved the dress to photograph it blowing in the breeze outside on the clothesline and to take a few shots of Melissa before moving on to Saybrook Point Inn and Spa where the ceremony was to take place.

This is the first time that we'll be dividing our wedding images into two separate posts. Part 2 to follow shortly.



Why do I love this shot? Melissa may be the calmest bride ever. She's so in the moment, having fun, and this shot just captured her very easy going spirit.


Last second adjustments outside the inn.

A very very radiant Melissa!

Waiting for Melissa.


First sighting of Josh.




There were great faces in the crowd.







Love this shot!





Congratulatory hand-squeeze from mom.


Right after the ceremony we took the family formals and then headed to the dock to photograph just Josh and Melissa.














These two were relaxed, natural and a delight to photograph!


The staff at Saybrook Point Inn was always attentive and kept things flowing smoothly!



This is just Part 1. Stay tuned to see the reception photos!
