Bettina & Jack's Wedding

Bettina and Jack were married on May 10th and to be honest was a wedding I had been looking forward to ever since I shot their engagement photos last fall. Bettina has a truly infectious laugh that you have to join in with once she starts and Jack likes to get that laugh started!!

Bettina got ready at a gorgeous house in Greenwich CT that had many beautiful shooting locations. I was able to frame her face in the photo below with a colorful painting on the wall and a flower arrangement that was sitting on a table in the foreground..

After Bettina put her dress on, we stepped out into the upstairs hallway and shot this portrait..



The Bridesmaids in front of the fountain..



This is always a very special moment during the day - the Groom seeing his Bride for the first time during the processional. You can see the excitement and anticipation in Jack's eyes as Bettina approaches and what is particularly nice about this shot is the fact that Jack's two brothers are in the background..



Sometimes you have to think outside the box and experiment a little bit. I was walking to the back of the church during the ceremony and noticed the windows in the doors at the end of the aisle so I stepped out back and used the silhouette of the window to frame Bettina and Jack at the altar...

In the digital age it's sometimes hard to compete with all the photographers out there!!





One of my favorite group shots in recent memory even though one of the Groomsmen did take a spill when the Adirondack chair gave way! Sorry about that Tom..



If an environment allows for creative composition, it's nice to let the bridal party do what they want. In this instance there was a huge rock that I asked the bridal party to go stand on however they wished and let them compose themselves..



The happy couple with the Long Island Sound and Glen Cove (I believe) in the background..





..and the Larchmont Shore Club lit up at night!


Bettina and Jack, thank you for letting me share your day with you and good luck and best wishes for your future together!
