Wedding in the ROC - Kaitlin & Stephen

Greetings Dear Friends,

I'll admit it...I've been a bad blog boy lately. Finding time to breathe has become a challenge nowadays. ...and with the Olympics in full swing, it's been difficult to ignore the late night recaps with Bob Costas (my favorite sportscaster of all time) on NBC every night. In short, something had to give and it turns out that visual:ramblings has taken a back seat. No worries though...i'm storing away plenty of new tasty visual treats for upcoming posts and assure you that this year's Blog-Vember II (The Return of Blog-Vember) will be the greatest to date!!! Just stick with me in the meantime blog-people, I will check in as often as possible.

I wanted to post some images of the newly nuptualized Kaitlin & Stephen Gionta. There is something about the way that she drapes her arms over his shoulders, the way he looks at her and the way they laugh together that is pure magic. It was a real treat to share in this beautiful day.

Many thanks to Kelli Marsh for her vision and support, and to the Gionta and Guenette Families for accepting us so openly and genuinely.

Awake & Dreaming

Nature has served as a source of inspiration for artists throughout the ages. Whether it's looking to the stars in wonder or observing the interaction of shadows, highlights and colors on the earth we roam...our fascination with nature is an unquenchable one.

Vincent Van Gogh once said:
"I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream."

These images were gathered during a recent daydream of mine:









Dream on Dreamers...dream on.

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.

The credit on this beautiful image belongs to Kelli Marsh. Swing by her blog to see more of her perspective...
























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...






Love you guys...and loved sharing your special day with you.

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 =

3rd Wheel Session: Jessica & Tim

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.
