I finished the first page of Saam & Shadi's wedding album - Shadi's getting ready pictures.

I’m starting to work on Saam and Shadi’s Persian wedding album. I can already tell it’s going to be a lot of fun.

A lovely image of James twirling Emily across the dance floor, but the people in the background were a bit distracting. They had to go.

Emily & James – true love

True love

Another untouched photo. I’ve finally finished looking through all 1200 + images from the wedding, and I wanted to share a few of my favorites. Good luck, Emily and James!

Emily & James: Dancing the night away

Emily and James dance the night away.

Emily and James made fantastic book-themed decorations, like these paper flowers made from the pages of books. Although it broke Emily’s heart to destroy a book, I think the result was worth it! Here are their wedding bands, with Emily’s antique diamond engagement right.

Hook ‘em!

Go Texas!

Emily, James, and the whole bridal party throw the Texas hook ‘em horns at their Austin wedding. Another untouched image.

Emily at her hair appointment

I’m so excited about Emily and James’ Austin book nerd wedding. I’m back in 20 degree Connecticut now, but for a few days I enjoyed temperatures in the 70s. It was everything you could ask for from a wedding – perfect couple, perfect weather. I’ll be posting more pictures as I review them, but I thought I’d throw this one up. This is Emily, just after getting her hair and makeup done. Raw camera exposure – She really looks this beautiful without a single stroke in Photoshop. Please note my supreme restraint and boldness in posting an untouched picture, which I normally never do. Emily doesn’t need any help on my end – just some beautiful window light.

New Job

If you’re wondering why I’ve been MIA for a while, here are my excuses:

Just moved to Cheshire, CT where I’ve been busy setting up house.

This is my back yard.

Just got a puppy. Her name is Desdemona.

Dez at 11 weeks.

Just got a new job. Well, jobs. I’m working as reporter/photographer/videographer at the Citizen’s News, plus shooting bar mitzvahs for Capitol Photo Interactive, plus doing freelance retouching work, and now shooting weddings for The Pros.

My first week at Citizen's News - covering the elections.
