Karine and Henry Tie the Knot!

It was a rainy, chilly New England morning when I left my house to meet Karine and Henry at the church they were to be married. I arrived early, earlier than just about everyone, so I took the time to walk around the outside of the church and get some images out there. At that point it was still misting out and very chilly - I was fearful that we would not be able to get many formals outside after the wedding. The gray clouds in the background pretty much sum it up:

The guests soon began to arrive and fill up the church. Henry was there looking great, waiting patienly for Karine to arrive. While the guests filtered in to their seats, the church was filled with the wonderful sounds of a string quartet. They were just amazing.

About 5 minutes before the ceremony was to begin, Karine pulls up in this, a gorgeous Rolls Royce:
The ceremony was beautiful and really expressed the love between Karine and Henry.

After the ceremony was over, we stopped to take a few formals outside of the church. The weather had improved only slightly - now it was just overcast and cold. Since the reception was a few miles away, at the Daniel Webster Inn, Karine and Henty decided we should try to see what the weather was like there, so in the Rolls they climbed and off we went! But not before the ceremonious first toast...with a wonderfully chilled bottle of Veuve Clicquot (my favorite - it's French!).
How cute are they?!

When we got to the reception - wouldn't you know it? The sky went totally blue and the bright sun shone everywhere. It actually got very hot while we were doing the formals. I was so excited for them. While there I got these two images - two of my favorites:

It was a really short day for me and I wasn't scheduled to take any photos during the reception, but I couldn't help but sneak a peek. The Daniel Webster Inn is really quaint and pretty inside. It is a really nice place to have a wedding. While inside, I grabbed this image of the cake:

I'm only going to post one more image, since this post has found itself quite lengthy already. I just wanted to take a moment to thank Karine and Henry for choosing me to share their day with. You are two wonderful people and I wish you all the best.

Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?

Wedding - Christy and Jim!

I can't stress enough how wonderful this wedding was! Everyone was so nice and really took to us like we were part of their circle of friends.

Christy and Jim got married a couple weeks ago (they just got back from their honeymoon a few days ago!) in sunny, but COLD Portsmouth, NH. The ceremony and reception were indoors in the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton Harborside Hotel. It was so pretty out that day, but very cold and windy. So we all opted to stay indoors for all the images. Which worked out well, since the Sherton has a great grand staircase that just made for great formals.

Congratulations, again, Christy and Jim and thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOO much for letting us share your day with you!

So, without further ado, I'm embedding a slideshow here on my blog so you can see some of my favorite images from the day. Just click on the Play button in the middle to start it.

Happy Anniversary Dawn & Matt!!!

It is hard to believe a year has gone by so quickly! It seems like only yesterday we were all watching as Dawn & Matt got married. I just wanted to take this time to say Happy Anniversary and I wish you many many more!!

Thank you so much for letting me be such a big part of your day. Here is a slideshow I put together for them to commemorate.

Connecticut Wedding

I'm way behind in blogging...I know, I know! We've been a very busy family. In the last half of January, I went to my cousin-in-law's wedding in CT. Her brother is a great photographer, too, so he and his wife did the shooting for her. I of course, brought my camera and got a few great images from the end of the pew (weird place for me to be, for once!). She looked so beautiful and her son is just a cutie!

Here's the slideshow: http://jeniferlynphotography.com/Pages/Kathlene
I set the show to a great, upbeat song, so some of the images go by rather fast to the music. BUT, at the end, you can view the gallery and look at each image one by one. You can see them all in the show, but this one is my ABSOLUTE favorite!
