Usually rain and tornado warnings put a little bit of a damper on things, but for Krista and José, I almost got the feeling they kinda embraced the adversity with a little “nothing can stop our day from being perfect” vibe. Awesome to see!

Krista and José were referred to me by photographer Carla Ten Eyck, which is cool cause knowing that a couple is working with Carla says something about them… they’re fun, and they have an appreciation for great photography. You can check out their C10 blog post here.

This was my first visit to the Bond Ballroom, and it did not disappoint. I feel like I’ve seen so much great photography of that room over the last few years, I was excited to get in there and do some work.

When I pick a song for a couple’s highlight film, I usually try to do something a little different. For Krista and José though, I knew this song was really important to them. A friend of theirs sang it at the ceremony, and it was also their first dance song… so if the shoe fits! It’s actually a really beautiful song, and posed a challenge fashioning a highlight film around it.

Enjoy, and congratulations to Krista and José!

So Carla says, “You need some headshots.”

And I reply, “OK.”

We communicate very well. Or maybe I was just keeping my pokerface, when in reality I was super-psyched to let THE Carla Ten Eyck try her bestest to make me look pretty.

So flash forward, we’re wandering the back streets of Hartford, taking advantage of Carla’s super secret shooting spots and a setting sun. We laughed. We cried. I posed. Carla told me I had no career in modeling. We had a few beers, and called it a night. Fun aside, Carla’s an awesome combination of talent, personality, and sass! I would say most of her brides start out as clients, but by the end are more like fans of her work. I am, and you should be too… she rocks!

Anyway, here are a few shots from the day… if you want to see the whole post on her site, click here.

[ * blog footnote: 'Sassafrass' is Carla's word, not mine. I think it's important to make that clear. ]
