Surprise Engagment Part 1

Typically Maggie and I will get a phone call or an email from a bride after she has some bling on that very important finger. However, we recently actually had the opportunity of helping in the planning of how to pop the question. Its not everyday that we get to help in the planning of popping the question with the exception of planning my proposal to Maggie this was going to be a rare experience. Well, after going back and forth on a few ideas Jonathan (the guy popping the question) decided on creating a photo album.
Okay, lets step back a minute and explain why this idea was so perfect for them. Well, his soon to be fiancé Beth, every year makes him a photo album of everything they have done together for the year. How cool is that? So, the plan was that Jonathan was going to have all the moments prior to asking Beth to marry him photographed and put into a photo album with the last page being...you guessed it. Will you marry me!! But there was another twist we were not going to take a picture of the actual ring at all so that it would be a surprise after she finished looking through the album. So, check out a sneak peak of Jonathan getting ready for the big moment.



Beth is going to be presented with a beautifully custom designed ring and we had the privilege of going with Jonathan when he went to pick it up.

You have to show the siblings the bling. Here is Jonathan showing Beth's brother and sister-in-law the beautiful ring!

Joanna and Jeff get Hitched

 A while back Jason had the incredible privilege of second shooting Joanna and Jeff's wedding with the fabulous, Valeen of Sweetest Days Photography at Zukas Hilltop Barn.


 

While, Valeen was photographing the ladies I went over and had the opportunity to photograph the guys getting ready for the wedding.

 

 Here, is Jeff looking ever so dapper as he catches his first glimpse of his beautiful bride

 

 Check out these amazing boutonnieres

 

We totally love when we get the opportunity to do a first look and when Valeen told me that we were going to be doing one, I was ecstatic.

 

This is totally reminds me of a secret garden moment 

 

 Got to love these two love birds

Sarah and Mike get hitched....

Sarah and Mike are such a fun loving couple who both have awesome personalities. Every time we met  up or went to dinner we always had an amazing time. On the day of the wedding they were getting ready about 3 houses away from each other and it was like 4 million degrees but that didn't stop a thing :) Some day I will invent a air conditioner for suits and dresses.

The ceremony was at St. Louis Church in West Haven. After that we headed to the Sea Wall in New Haven, but due to a monsoon starting as soon as we got there we had to move it to Anthony's Ocean View in New Haven. From there it was happily ever after :)

xoxoxo

Jeff and Desi get their marriage on!! 9.2.11

Jeff and Desiree got there marriage on earlier this month. Let me tell you that they are made for each other, if its true that one person completes the other well they are living truth. The story of they wedding is one that many went through after Hurricane Irene. The wedding was planned, for many many months and we were honored to be their photographers. Two days before the big day Jeff and Desiree decided to go and check out their venue and see if they had sustained any damage since it was directly on Milford beach. Well, they are lucky they did. The venue had water damage and the outdoor area was washed away by the sea.
They scrambled to find a new place and with the help of friends and family they were able to get a better venue and could not be more happy with how everything turned out.

Reception Time!!!

They had so much fun, you would of thought it was their wedding :)




Congrats Jeff and Desi!!!
