From what I heard from Megan’s Matron of Honor, there was quite the search for a photographer for their wedding. That makes me feel even more honored to be chosen. Megan and Jason had such a heartfelt wedding. It was easy to see the love between them and their families. The ceremony and reception was held at the Inn at Longshore in Westport.

Her veil was made by her Matron of Honor.






Jason entering Megan’s room as they see eachother for the first time.



Megan’s dad seeing Megan for the first time in her dress. The tears were flowing everywhere.






















A little use of the veil that her Matron of Honor made.



The cake topper! You’d never know unless you looked at the back.





Nothing happened here! It’s all family! It’s all good! They just happened to be at that angle



Megan sang to Jason. She is a great singer!





Sparklers by request.

That was wedding #195! I’m coming up on #200!

Ever since their awesome engagement session in Newport, I’ve been waiting for this wedding!

I love this photo. Kristi’s mom was so emotional that day!

Doug trying to hold back the tears.

I love the reactions of the guests. You can see how guests react as the bride goes by, as they are right at the bride, and the guests about to get a close up.









We went over to the Taft School grounds for some of their portraits.







Then off to the Palace Theater for the reception.







Oh my, this just may be one of my favorite photos this year.

I almost forgot! This is wedding #194!

     I’ve been experimenting with some new software and some new equipment lately. It’s something a little different than what I normally do, but that’s just it. I have a need to explore and experiment. So I photographed Petrina and Dan yesterday and brought along some extra equipment I don’t normally take to an engagement session.


     First, I pulled off another 2 panoramas. I’ll give you an idea of how large this 200 degree image is:
     My camera takes a 5,616 x 3,744 pixel image, which is 21.1 mega pixel.
     This image size is 26,107 x 4,738 pixels, which is equivalent to 123.7 mega pixel. It is a perfect print quality 7 foot x 15.75 inch image.

     I wanted to really test out the software on something hard to mend together. So we went on the walking bridge in Milford to take a 180 degree image.
     This one came out to be 14,162 x 4,712, about 66.7 mega pixel.

     It didn’t come out right the first time. But after some tweaking it nearly nailed it.
     If any photographer would like to see the full size images, e-mail me and I’ll send you the link to download them.


     At this point we were just waiting for the sunset, but it never really showed up. I took out my new strobe (flash) setup with some updated and now seemingly working equipment. I came up with these two shots. Dan works in this boat yard.

I wasn’t sure if this was going to work. It was done with 1 flash, placed on the ground behind them, pointed at the white hull of the boat in front of them. So not only did the flash light up behind them for the rim lighting, but bounced off the boat to light the front of them. That nearly blew me away when it worked.


     I have a lot more ideas in my head that I can’t wait to interpret with my camera!
