They say that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach!  Maura and Scott proved this theory to be true by agreeing to shoot some portraits in their venues’ kitchen.  I love shooting bridal portraits in unusual places!

Professional Photographer magazine is holding a contest for a chance at being featured on a 2010 edition of the magazine.  In addition to landing the cover of a 2010 edition of Professional Photographer, the winner will also be awarded a selection of prizes from their generous sponsors: Canon, Kodak, Manfrotto Distribution and White House Custom Colour.  I’ve entered one of my favorite images taken at the New Canaan May Fair.  Check it out and vote for me: http://www.ppmag.com/cover-contest-2010/vote/414/.  Vote and you will be entered to win a Canon Powershot G11.  Pretty cool, in fact I’d like the G11 myself!

If you are a newly engaged bride planning your wedding or looking for ideas,  than you must check out My Kate Parker Wedding.  Her site launched in January with the idea to help brides plan their weddings based on budget, wedding theme,  color or style.  Kate only accepts a handful of photographers and I’m thrilled to be among that select few.  Since I am located in Connecticut but shoot weddings all over, I chose to be listed in Rhode Island and New York.  I wish that a site like this had been available while I was planning my own wedding,  as you can truly see your wedding vision come to life and instantly locate talented vendors for all of your needs.
