Greetings beautiful blog people. Welcome to the newly renovated visual:ramblings. Here you'll find stories of love, tid-bits of wisdom and visual ramblings detailing the life and times of yours truly. The idea here is not to simply showcase my work, but to establish and maintain an interactive environment where readers and contributors become one in the same - as this space does not belong to me, but to all who breathe life into it through reading, embracing and reacting to its visual randomness. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your visit and look forward to a wonderful journey together.

A Connecticut Love Story: Camille & Steven

Hello Dear Friends,

I want to share with you an abbreviated version of the love story of Camille & Steve. Their marriage celebration last month in Simsbury, CT was nothing short of a fairytale. It was a privilege to be granted the monumental task of documenting this most perfect day. A very special thanks to my right hand gal, Kelli Marsh, for tagging along and seeing the world with her eyes wide open. ...and to Cami, Steve and your amazing families, my gratitude transcends words. The bond you share is strong and will stand the test of time.

This was a fun twilight shot. To add some pizazz, I set the camera on a tripod w timer, jumped in my car and drove around the cul de sac twice while the shutter firing. light streaks = good times, if you ask me...

Jessica & Tim: Coney Island Antics

I am really excited about this post. Tim has been a friend of mine since grade school. That's like, 100 years ago. We've known each other since the time when Twisted Sister was burning up the charts with their rock anthem "We're not gonna take it". Back when Pac Man was first released. Back when Eddie Money was cool. I can go on here, but i shouldn't...

I am deeply honored to be given the privilege of documenting this amazing time in his life. In Jessica, he has found his big thing. His one true love. His counterpoint. From what I can see there is no limit. Together they are boundless.

Their bond + me + Coney Island Sunset =

Thank you Jess & Tim. You are so great together. It was a beautiful evening.

Here's a side-bar:
while shooting that evening, some paparazzi-type spotted Tiny - the emerging superstar lens - on the beach and pictures of him (and myself) found their way to the Flickr Community. Seems like there are some Tiny-Haters forming over there. I enjoyed their discussion but didn't find it necessary to defend my choice of using a 200mm f1.8 piece of heaven when working. Not to mention, I prefer to encourage artistic exploration, not ridicule it. Here's a screen shot and link:

That about wraps it up dear friends. Thanks for reading. I hope that this finds you all well.

3rd Wheel Session: Kaitlin & Stephen

Hello Dear Friends,

I wanted to share some images with you all from a recent 3rd Wheel Shoot. What gets me most about these images is the intense connection and comfort that Kaitlin & Stephen share. They made my job so incredibly easy! Kaitlin is the bees-knees...the bomb. She's a New England Girl who possesses a heartwarming charm, a radiant smile and an uncanny ability to turn her Mass accent on and off like a switch. Stephen is genuine...the real deal. Brother of NHL Superstar Brian Gionta and soon to be NHL Superstar himself. Not to mention handsome, kind and without a hint of pretension. Together they are brilliant, larger than life. Their love is true and their energy - infectious . I am grateful to have witnessed the bond that is Kaitlin & Stephen Gionta.

That being said, I present to you:

Kaitlin & Stephen: Thank you for your trust. I will forever look upon this experience with great fondness.

In the midst of a busy season, I have devoted much of my efforts to shooting, traveling and editing. That being said, I have a TON of new material that I hope to present over the coming weeks. You name it, I probably have some...3rd wheel shoots, weddings, nature, travel and on and on. Stay tuned dear friends...more is on the way soon!
