Connecticut Wedding Photographer; Great River Golf Club-Stephanie+Adam

Cynthia Brown — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:16:35 +0000

I can’t believe that we are designing Stephanie and Adam’s wedding album and I haven’t shared any images from their day yet! I really enjoyed getting to know these two over the last year! We borrowed a friends horse for their engagement shoot last spring, and then also did a lifestyle shoot with their adorable dog “Gertie”. Steph & Adam made a guestbook from those images as well as favor cards for all their guests announcing a donation to the Humane Society. We all love our dogs, and it brought me such joy to have “Gertie” involved in the wedding festivities even though she wasn’t present. Their ceremony took place at Center Church on the Green in New Haven. I love old churches and this one is impressive and quaint at the same time. It even has little doors on the pews!

Winter Weddings

Cynthia Brown — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 15:54:35 +0000

Merry Christmas Everyone! One of my former brides is in town for the holidays and we decided to do a bridal shoot with this amazing vintage Balenciaga gown that I have. Yes you heard right, Balenciaga, as in 10.Avenue George V. Paris! If you are newly engaged, I highly recommend putting some thought into planning a Winter wedding. They can just be so magical! I’ll share more of our shoot in a day or so, I’m off to make my Red Velvet Cake and Lobster Risotto!

Visit To Pearl Harbor

Cynthia Brown — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:14:08 +0000

In September I was in Oahu for five days to shoot a wedding. Although my stay was short, I did manage to see Pearl Harbor. I was very impressed by the USS Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri Battleship. It’s chilling to see the oil that still leaks out of the USS Arizona. The USS Missouri was in both WWII and Persian Gulf Wars and is the site where Japan formally surrendered to the United States. I’ll have to go back with my son who is obsessed with WWII memorabilia. Here are a few images from The War Memorial and Pearl Harbor that I grabbed with my point and shoot.

Libby & Keith got married last May at The New Haven Lawn Club. This wedding was extremely well thought out and loaded with gorgeous details to photograph. It was featured first on Style Me Pretty and since I just finished designing their album today, I thought that I’d share the full wedding including some never before seen details. Libby is a Magazine writer and editor who blogged about planning her wedding during her engagement. She got hooked and you can see her latest inspirations at Follow The Wife.

Angela & Bryan got married at The Meadowlands in Darien, Connecticut. This beautiful venue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house has undergone a major renovation since I last shot there and is more gorgeous than ever. Angela & Bryan had both their ceremony and reception on site. Festivities Events coordinated and catered the affair on what was probably our last gorgeous weekend this Fall.

Meet Delia!

Cynthia Brown — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:16:56 +0000

Things have been so busy this year that I’ve fallen behind on blogging. We have a new puppy named Delia! I started to take some pictures of her and Ellis at the dog park when this freak storm hit us and suddenly our shoot became Delia’s fist snow. Delia is a five month old Labradoodle that was purchased by some friends from a pet store. Sadly, she just did not fit into their lifestyle and so we offered to adopt her. We hadn’t seen any pictures of her prior to her arrival and just couldn’t believe how beautiful she is. Ellis is simply in heaven! Although being a multi dog family is an adjustment, we are completely in love with our new little girl. Meet Delia!

Cypress Books

I’ve been so busy lately that I bought myself a comfy white leather office chair to sit in while I edit and design. Here is a lovely sample of one of my cypress books. I adore these! They are exquisite handmade books and presentation boxes and my favorite way to showcase heirloom images.
