Last Friday brought the top of our triple header… the much anticipated wedding of my client turned friend, Jessica, to her fiance Eric at the Laurel View Country Club in Hamden, CT. Jessica is one of the most enthusiastic and sweet people I have met. From the moment we met, I knew she got what we were about. She trusted me to do my thing, and gave us plenty to work with! Here she models her cute Mrs. shorts for me before getting dressed…
Now Jessica loves her some Twilight!! She brought her four book series in for me to have fun with as I shot the rings, and I did!
Jessica and her Dad had so many emotional moments throughout the day…here she snuggles with him while waiting in the antique car before the ceremony
Jess is so incredibly radiant and beautiful! The awesome Dana Bartone was on hand to work her magic….not that Jess needed too much help!
The church had such beautiful organ pipes in the back, there’s Miss Katie above getting the birds eye view
Jess gets all choked up when she sees Eric at the altar
They are MARRIED!!!
One of my favorite leaving the church shots, ever!!! The best part? The doors totally were stuck!
The bridal party, working the aviators
At one point I turned around and Jess is like ‘CARLA, LOOK!!’ and it is iphone MANIA… these boys were trying to steal my job!

A puddle means I uuuuususally will try some kind of reflection shot…. so today was par for the course….PUN TOTALLY INTENDED! Get it? We’re on a golf course.
Like out of an old tyme wedding magazine, right?

[...] was fun, she was easy-going, and above all else, does some amazing work. Check out her blog post of Jessica & Eric’s wedding. Halfway through the reception, she busted out a slideshow of some shots from the day, and people [...]
those are some bride portraits with attitude! sweet ring shot on the book – the shadows look like hearts! and your off-camera flash is flat out INSANE.
that final bubble shot steals the show—but her veil is AMAZING!! Love that vintage-y feel it gives.

As usual, these are fantastic. Awesome to work with you as well! Jessica and Eric really know how to work it too, which make these shots all the more fun and emotional. Looking forward to many more together. TM

the pic with the rings on the book page with the heart shadows is incredible. you know i want to use that somehow in a project… rock it! this bride is stunning…great pics carlita (and i love the stache.)
i adore these pictures! i knew they would turn out amazing!
OMG, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE!!!!!! Jess is so beautiful too! I had a feeling she would integrate Twilight. I have way too many favorites on this post. The shot of her in the car with the yummy buttery light, The church exit, the reflection, the close up cage veil and hands. All amazing! You totally rocked this!
These are great! That Jessica is so pretty and so photogenic! Love her bird-cage veil. That one with her hands up on her face is insane. Also love the shot of bride and Dad in the car and the First Dance. Of course the photo booth shot is priceless too.
