Christine and Niraz celebrated their nuptials on a beautiful September day. Surrounded by their family and friends they said I Do in Christine’s family home. We just love backyard weddings and can we talk about all the beautiful colors. Here are a few of our favorites from their day.

I was so stoked to work with Jackie and Jake on their special day. When they said they were including their dogs, I was SOLD! Plus I love The Roger Sherman Inn in New Canaan, it is quaint, pretty and their food is the BOMB! From the getting ready, to the perfect I Do’s, dining under the stars and a kick-ass band these guys did it right! Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter & more puppies!!

Samantha and Jay’s wedding was a blast! I know I say that a lot, but for real, they were the funnest couple by far this year! The raw emotion when he saw her for the first time, got to all of us. Well I should back up, the two of them had a discussion about a first look and Jay was adamant about not wanting one, but he caved when Samantha said that was what she wanted. So what he didn’t know was that one of his groomsmen would be wearing a dress for the first look. Needless to say she got him good!
We wish these two a lifetime of happiness!

Here’s a few of my faves!
I’ve been trying to figure out a name for my personal segment on my blog for quite some time now. I went through the Crazy Chronicles, Diary of a Deranged Lady…etc. But I think Tales of a Tired Photographer is probably the best. This segment is going to be once a week (believe me there’s enough stuff for me to post daily), but I will not bore you with my ridiculous antics on a daily basis.
So a lot of you that have been following me, especially on Facebook, have mentioned that I should be writing a book for all the silly, crazy things that happen in my life, you know the types of things that I just can’t make up. The things my kids say or do, that really are kind of unpredictable. Well sadly, this blog (at least today’s is all about ME)!
This past week I had some doozies! We have this little blue suitcase of fun things that the kids get to pick things out of after they’ve finished their homework and cleaned their rooms after school. So last week they picked quiet time in their room with Mommy which turned into a makeover – their favorite thing to do to mommy! Fast forward to me looking like Tammy Faye Baker and it is time to take everything off. Well lesson learned do not put the nail polish remover next to the makeup remover. Can we say burn much? Wow, the removal of glitter eye shadow with nail polish remover on the eyes, don’t get me wrong, it totally works, but ow! It freaking burns, like really bad!!
The other day as I’m running around trying to get my kids ready for school, and me ready for my morning run. I can only find one running sneaker. Literally how does that happen? Sometimes my dog takes shoes when guests pop over, not to eat them, but just to greet folks, it’s kind of cute, but at the time I was so annoyed. Then I remembered that I had my son bring his laundry down to the washing machine the day before. Sure enough I opened up the door and there it was. So now I have one really pretty clean running shoe, which was soaking wet because I wasn’t going to have time to dry it before I ran!
Yep so so that’s me, in a nutshell. Stay tuned for more tales of a tired photographer.
