the jone family
A figure skater and a hockey player meet and fall in love. Would make a great movie, right? Yeah, they already have that covered in The Cutting Edge but here’s the real life couple and their deliciously blondyblonde son. We shot at their home as well as the Waveny House in New Caanan CT and I can guarantee I’ll be heading back there again for pictures- it was beautiful!
Even their dog was good looking.
It was a wiiiiiiindy day and they were having a wedding there so we were limited to where we could shoot. But I think we managed just fine.

mary-kate & tom- the reception
The last batch of photos from Mary-Kate & Tom’s fabulous wedding. The reception was a ton of fun and the amazing 12 piece band had everyone up and dancing all night long!
First, immediately following the ceremony, we did some additional portraits and family shots.
Making their grand entrance into the reception.
First dance.
Speeches from the matron of honor/sister of the bride and best man/father of the groom were fantastic.
The super cool groom’s cake Mary-Kate surprised Tom with. 
Hope all of you enjoyed the wedding (guests, bride & groom and blog stalkers alike!)

the auld family {mini session}
They must’ve switched kids since the spring. The older of the boys really loathes getting his picture taken (I shot his communion back in the spring and found out just how much he disliked it! But he was a real trooper and sucked it up for the 3 hours we were together that day.) but for our mini session- he was a dream to photograph. So easy and smiley. I’ll take it!!
Thanks for a super mini session!! -
the most miserable mummy {aka halloween 2011}
Finally did a super quick edit of the Halloween photos. For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you know that Timmy cried for the entire parade at his school. Still don’t really know why. Maybe because he didn’t like his costume anymore. Maybe cause he doesn’t like being the center of attention (but mind you the whole school marches in the parade so no one would’ve been really looking at him anyway!) Who knows? But when he came out of school after the parade and party, he was nothing but smiles. I was relived and ready to strangulate the kid all at once.
Here’s the most miserable mummy.
During the parade:
Aunt Heidi came along to watch the parade too.
Some of my friends kids in their (very adorable) costumes
Timmy’s friend Liam who we were going to go TOT’ing with but his sister was under the weather so we just went on our own.
And the most merry mummy who came out for the rest of the day. The face on the right is him ‘being dead’. 
And even deader.
No Halloween would be complete without a trip to the ‘scary house’. 
Fits right in with all the zombie apocalypse stuff as of late.
Whenever I look at the picture on the right, Thriller starts playing in my head. 
Love some evil clowns. Nightmares for months!
And cause I couldn’t leave you with the scary stuff last, here’s some more of Timmy. 
And before you ask why there are no pictures of Jack & Patrick, please note that they were at football practice until 5:20pm, didn’t go trick or treating and didn’t want to get dressed up this year. Sniff. -
mary-kate & tom- the ceremony
It was lovely from start to finish. Sorry, really going short on the narrative today (it’s 1:15am when I’m writing this and have to get up early for some shoots tomorrow) and I know you really just want to see the pictures anyway!
Big thanks to Kate for second shooting with me- and getting these awesome shots of the bride and her dad on their way down the aisle.
Mary-Kate’s brother sang for them. Not a dry eye in the house!!
Stay tuned for the last installment of the wedding (the reception) coming soon!
