Connecticut Wedding Photographer Bruce Plotkin

It was a foggy and misty day when Helen, Joe and I met at the beautiful Waveny Park in New Canaan this Spring for their engagement session. Because we’d already had to reschedule their photos a couple of times previously, the thought was, well let’s go for it. Sometimes those “go for it” decisions (in life and photography) are the best ones you can ever make. Rather than grey and dreary, the light was in fact soft and ethereal.
Well prepared with their choice of umbrella colors, Helen and Joe proved totally game for whatever the day would bring. Now if that isn’t a good start to a beautiful marriage, I don’t know what is.

Tomorrow being their wedding day, with their reception at The Inn at Longshore, and with a zero percent chance of rain, I thought there was no better time to share these photos, and to wish the two of them years and years of happiness, and just the right mix of sun-filled days with some fog thrown in for all of those great photo opps to follow. Looking forward to tomorrow’s exciting celebration.

As we all eagerly await Patricia and Alex’s rapidly approaching Connecticut June wedding, it strikes me that there’s something very Kate Middleton about Patricia. A certain classic elegance, natural beauty, and just as with the new Duchess of Cambridge, the camera does love her, I think you’ll agree. The twist in the story is that Alex, the man she’s about to marry is clearly more Harry than William, at least in appearance. And while London was not part of our game plan for our engagement session, the streets of Boston, where Patricia lives, sufficed quite nicely. From Beacon Hill to the Charles River, the Public Gardens to the steps of the State House, all a perfect backdrop for our day with the soon to be bride and groom.
