What a surprise- me on the ground!! The image above this one is what I was actually shooting!

The 21st of this month brought me my first reception double-header ever- I had the distinct pleasure of shooting at the Branford House

in Groton both days- and were they gorgeous!! It was my first time shooting there and all I heard about it before was how dark it was to shoot in. I visited a few months back and the doors were locked so we couldn’t get in to browse around the Alexi Von Shlipe Gallery upstairs (come on, that name is SO funny!) let alone see the space. So when i got there for Dawn & Mike’s day I was blown away by how ornate the walls are! That’s right- I said WALLS! So detailed and intricate and beautiful- there are so many nooks and crannies in that place paired up with the awesome view and very spacious grounds, this place is awesome! Dawn had such beautiful details I was practically drooling over them all- her cake, done by the super talented Toria Dolce, is so pretty, and it tasted even better than it looked, if you can imagine! Her flowers were also pretty ridiculously beautiful- done by Bakes and Baldwin Floral Co., I love how they had the lime slices lining the interior of the vases- was a fresh way to add a splash of green in the arrangements! Their table numbers were pictures of their dog with numbers, so cute!
Dawn was so excited to see me when i showed up she had her makeup artist stop doing her makeup so she could squeal and jump and give me the biggest hug ever! What a way to be welcomed in!! It totally set the tone for this amazing, emotional day. Dawn & Mike are both so funny, laid back and sweet and were up for anything I suggested! Dawn kept saying ‘I totally trust you, you are the professional and you have the vision!’ Which is so nice to hear over and over and I didn’t have to sell them on any idea, they just went with it. This blog has been truly amazing in that my clients and potential clients actually read it and check it regulary! They know I am typically on the ground at least three times during a wedding, or that I climb on things, or that I like feet pictures! I love it! I feel like I got some really amazing images from them and hope they will check my blog again from their honeymoon so they can see them!! Hi guys!! Have a nice cold one on the beach for me!;)

Also, a big shout out to Jean my second shooter in training! She has been capturing some really kick ass shots, 2 of which are on this post- Jean can you tell me which ones?? Awesome job, sister!!!

face first films — great work carla! I love that you put the photo of you on the ground in the post. and you get those money sunset shots everytime   ( July 31, 2007 @ 3:25 am )

Carla Ten Eyck — Yeah I was pretty lucky 2 days in a row with sunsets- and to be in a place like the branford house where you get such a spectacular view of it! I figured I may as well put one in sooner or later, seeing as I seem to spend such a huge amount of time just laying around on the job and all...   ( July 31, 2007 @ 6:26 am )

Carla Ten Eyck — Yeah Mary that little curved door nook area was so killer for a cake spot, esp if you don't want people walking through that way!!   ( August 1, 2007 @ 12:23 pm )

I have been working and re-working some images from my shoot with the lovely Mary & Justin and stevedepino.com and wanted to share what I came up with. I know it is becoming more popular now to add textures and layers to images, and for that I am glad, actually. I have always seen my images as layered, complicated things, not always so cut and dry and done in camera. I see things as Polaroid transfers, prints on watercolor paper that got a little wet, an old faded image that is timeless and still beautiful 50 years later. So with that in mind (and it’s in mind most of the time, truth be told!) I re-visited my work and made it how I truly originally saw it and am very happy with how the images presented themselves to me- they were like, OK, NOW we’re done! Hope you enjoy them!
