best of weddings 2009

I am so excited to say that our best of 2009 weddings highlight slide show is here for your viewing pleasure! Big props to Graham for putting it together, I am so sorry I ruined this song for you!

Watching this made me all melancholy as I looked back at our year here at the studio- and I celebrated all of the changes that we have undergone! From the total completion of my renovated studio space, my amazing studio manager and bff Dominique  to the addition of our extremely talented associate photographers- Erik Maziarz; Katie Slater and Graham Scobey to the just absolute perfect melding of shooting styles of me and Mike on a wedding… I can say with total confidence that I would do it all again, exactly the same.

One thing I have learned in my travels in life is to surround yourself with people who are smarter than you, better than you at what you do and who laugh at my absurd humor (thank you Reilly) They just can’t have better hair, cuz that’s all I got!

 

So without further blathering on from yours truly…

christine and mark wedding at l’escale in greenwhich ct

The team at Carla Ten Eyck Photography rang in the New Year with Christine and Mark’s BEAUTIFUL winter wedding at L’Escale in Greenwich CT. It was not only an amazingly beautiful wedding, it was full of emotion and fun!

First can I also say how much I love working with the staff at L’Escale? They are easy going, professional and so great! Thanks for making our night so much fun! We had our good friend and amazing videographer Tom Morlock from Vantage Point Films along for the ride and their band The Rhythm Shop just about brought the house DOWN!!

Now on to the details!

I had my trusty main man Erik Maziarz at my site, he is so amazing and fun to be around, we always have a blast when we shoot together! Our trusty assistant for the day was the lovely Miss Rebecca Hales, making the score: two for the blondes and one for, well- me. I am not sure exactly WHAT color my hair is these days!!

Here is a mix of me on the left and Rebecca on the right- see how nicely we play together? Rebecca’s shot of the bouquet has a piece of Christine’s Mom’s wedding dress, a sweet and loving memoir of her that kept her memory literally at her daughter’s fingertips during her wedding. It was a beautiful tribute and detail.

 

Christine’s details were just so pretty! Her stunning dress was from Yolanda’s in Boston

Now it’s time for a Maziarz Ten Eyck tag team- Erik is on the left I am do-si-doing on the right

This light and Christine were BFF’s

Erik’s beautiful detail

A little Ten Eyck time

Honestly!!!!

Rebecca got this great moment of Christine and her Dad

Another Rebecca shot from the balcony!

My view: Mark was so emotional as he watched Christine and her Dad come down the aisle

I love this shot I grabbed of Christine looking at Mark

And I had a great view for the ring exchange

Ten Eyck + Maziarz time again

Rebecca has to chime in from above!

And then I got all papparazzi on them with this shot, one of my FAVORITES!

During our drive back to L’Escale we pulled over and I lit them for this

Erik grabbed another favorite of mine from the evening with our video light

More Maziarz is ALWAYS a good thing in my book! Check him OUT!

Rebecca grabs a lovely detail

I’m here too! This spot that Erik found for us (he is a firefighter in Greenwhich so he knows some nooks and crannies) which is handy because these two were on FIRE!!

I love my little one two punch here!

Then Erik is just showing off at this point!

Nothing like a little fire to warm us up on a chilly New Year’s Eve!

Their table scapes and details were amazing!

 

Their cake was made by Sweet Lisa’s Exquisite Cakes in Cos Cob CT

Christine and her Dad had an emotional dance together, I am not sure there was a dry eye in the house, myself included.

 

Rebecca got the pre-New Year’s Eve prep

HAPPY 2010!!!

Christine and Mark, congratulations!!

Thank you for letting us ring in the new year with you and your families!!

Anna Sawin — So stunning, and what a lovely delicate touch on such an emotional day, team! Carla, was the church all bounced flash? AMAZING. And that group portrait in front of the fire? WOW. And who says wow about group portraits!   ( January 22, 2010 @ 4:15 pm )

Jacob Bergmeier / NoDo Photography — oh my!!!! speachless   ( January 22, 2010 @ 5:54 pm )

Eileen Broderick — What an incredible day! So many beautiful details. Love that her Mom's dress was incorporated into her bouquet. The shot of her with her Dad during their dance got me all choked up. Beautiful lighting...A stunning evening...   ( January 22, 2010 @ 9:26 pm )

Sara Code-Kroll (Growing Tree Photography) — A-mazing! The light, the details, the emotion... it's all there and so beautiful. Way to go!   ( January 22, 2010 @ 11:33 pm )

Robin Dini — beautiful job! high fives all around.   ( January 23, 2010 @ 8:48 pm )

Robert J. Trenske — Awesome job capturing the details and I love the outside shots with the Christmas lights and the old car.   ( February 3, 2010 @ 9:35 pm )

emily and brian wedding at the society room in hartford

Back in December me, Mike and Katie wrapped up our 2009  season together with a wedding at the Society Room in Hartford…. which was of course was filled with melancholy for yours truly. I am an emotional gal and thinking about everything we have done together this year had me in a tizzy! Lucky Katie and Mike!

But lucky US- because our clients are just two of the most wonderful and sweet couples we have yet to meet. I met Emily and her Mom  waaaaaay back when they booked (it always feels like it’s a million years from when they book and then when their wedding comes up!) and I just fell in love with the both of them. Brian was a welcome addition, of course – but because he is in the military I did not meet him until the day of the wedding!

So here is Miss Emily, she is organized, she was relaxed and she was so easy to be around and photograph! Not to mention how beautiful is she? Absolutely radiant- and this shot here she has not one stitch of makeup on yet. I’m just sayin’

Mike grabbed this shot that I am totally jealous of!

She had the cutest animals, and she was so in love with them all! A few days after the wedding she and brian were driving across the country to get back to where he was stationed so she was getting in all of the cuddling she could!

 

 

Her Mom watches as she gets her dress on

many, many, many many buttons!

Here is here something borrowed…. I love it

Emily has such an easy laugh and quick smile!

Are you serious????

Mike grabbed this right before she walked down the aisle with her Dad

 

 

Katie Slater’s creative and amazing birds eye view of the situation

It’s official!!

Mike just can’t help himself! I love this shot that he got during the ceremony

After coming down the aisle the bridal party all did a big high five jump- can’t say I have seen THAT before!!

So I guess they liked to jump … and I was allllllll over it!! Go Hartford City Hall!

Not to be outdone of course, the ladies stepped up their game

and then it was time for the couples and couples only……

 

I love Hartford City Hall, in every season!!

Mike took Brian aside for some quiet times

While I set up this next one-two whammy snuggle fest shot!

Mike has this shot DOWN!! It’s my fave

The hand-off before the first dance

 

 

 

 

The vault at the society room is so awesome!!!

And to officially wrap up the Mike Carla Katie team season I am gonna go out swinging!!

or singing, as it so happens

 

2009 it’s been real!!!!
