Leanne and Patrick

Last evening Josh and I had the privilege of meeting with Leanne and Patrick to discuss their wedding for next year. They are a very sweet couple with a great vision for their wedding day. We would love to be a part of it all and truly hope that they pick us as their photographers!

Changes...

So finally, after about 8 years of having basically the same hair cut, I took a big chance and cut off about 8 inches. It feels good to make such a big change. Thanks to my great friend Tiffney for doing this for me!

Day off

A couple days ago Josh and I took some time off to go exploring the new (sort of) Blue Back Square shopping area in West Hartford. There are a lot of nice shops there including the National Jean Company and White House/ Black Market, which cloths I love! While we were in West Hartford we stopped in at Beckers, which is where Josh bought me my engagement ring. Oh my God!, what beautiful jewelry they have there! They gave my ring a full inspection as well as a cleaning. Everything was perfect! They recommend that the ring be inspected at least every 4 months, but this is actually only the second time in the year and a half that I have had it professionally inspected by them. Do all you other ladies get your rings inspected that often? Here is my ring all nice and shiny!

First sleep over

Sunday night Josh, Juliet and I were at a party at our good friends' house. As you all know we got hit with a really bad ice storm, so we decided to stay the night. This was Juliet's first sleep over at a friend's house. Here are some really cute pictures from the next morning!

Second shooting with J+M!

Over the weekend I had the honor of second shooting with J+M in Westchester County, NY. It was a last minute decision, and I am so happy that I went. Cat and Dan were a great couple to photograph, and Justin and Mary were so much fun to spend a day with. Thanks guys! Can't wait to do it again!

Woo hoo!

Josh and I finally decided that, yes!, we are going back to the Dominican Republic for our one year anniversary in January! We are so excited. It has been are really hard long year for both of us. A lot of new exciting business adventures, a new house, hard sicknesses for the kids, so we really need this! Last year for our honeymoon we went to Punta Cana, this year we are going to La Romana. Can't wait to try something new! Here are some pics from our honeymoon.

Katie and Ivan

What a wonderful day in North Hampton yesterday! The beautiful Katherine Rose and her Ivan James are so in love! Josh and I had to hold ourselves back from going out of control with the photos. What a beautiful location and a great couple!

Top 10 trends!

So I was just checking out theknot.com and came across their list of the top 10 trends for wedding dresses. I thought I would share them with all of you brides to be:
1. Short skirts
2. Color, color, color
3. Bold straps (my favorite!)
4. Cool cover-ups
5. Flared skirts
6. Couture flowers
7. Flowy fabrics
8. Sleeves
9. Sheer fabrics
10. Asymmetrical necklines

Here are some photos of my wedding dress. I almost wish it wasn't strapless, but the buttons all the way down the back sold me! (Photo credit goes to R.E.!)

Kate and Andy's guest book!

Here is an example of a guest book using engagement photos along with an awesome album company (thanks Asuka!). I will be making a few of these for next year's brides, let me know your feed back! (want one Kate?)
