    10/21/2011 James and Debbie’s Guilford Engagement Sneak Peek | CT Engagement Sessions by Afterglow Photos

    Debbie came to Connecticut from her home state of New Jersey to study Physical Therapy.  She didn’t know it at the time, but coming to Connecticut meant she would meet the man of her dreams.

    James teaches technology, and with his mad computer skills he had set up to record his marriage proposal with a couple different cameras around their house.  For all of the hopeless romantics out there, here’s a peek at his surprise proposal and how he totally caught her off guard!  It is simply one of the best proposal reactions caught on video that I have ever seen – I love it!! {Be patient and let the video load, it only takes 2 minutes – and you get to see their dog’s reaction too!}

    James is thrilled to now share his home state and life with Debbie and their dog Daisy.  For their engagement session, we wanted it to be a relaxed afternoon spent playing with their pup, and visiting their favorite places near home. Here’s a peek at the fun we had that day in the slideshow below.

    I had never been to East River Preserve or Chaffinch Island Park before and they are both beautiful gems tucked away in the town of Guilford!  Thanks for taking me there and letting me play with Daisy too (she is the sweetest!), and I cannot wait for the summer fun we are going to have celebrating you two in 2012! xo

    07/29/2011 Anthony’s Ocean View Wedding | Connecticut Shoreline Event Photography by Afterglow Photos

    Becky and Drew’s love story began while they worked together at a small town grocery store in high school. He was a produce guy and she was a bakery girl.  The rebel (or romantic) that she was, Becky used to sneak Drew cookies and muffins when no one was watching!  They say that the way to man’s heart is through his stomach.  Well, here they are married now… ten years later.  Becky chose colors of hot pink with lime green accents to showcase their casual beach party style that would allow their guests to sit back and relax, feel the ocean breeze, enjoy the sunset off the New Haven shoreline and dance the night away!

    Check out more on the Afterglow Photos Facebook page, tag yourself, share… and a very big thank you to my second photographer Kim Kelly for her gorgeous work on this one!  Stay for a while longer and watch the wedding day memories in the slideshow too!

    Many thanks to the vendors who were so kind in helping to make this a fabulous day, and provided the services captured in our photographs:
    dress from Stars of Avon, hair by Effi’s Salon, bridal beauty by Janice Raccio from Naomi’s Studio & Salon, Inspired Floral Design by Andrea Satterly, and the fabulous venue of Anthony’s Ocean View Fine Catering (who took such good care of us)!

    Becky and Drew, We had an incredible time working with you from the engagement until the big day.  You have no idea how thankful we are that you came to us at the referral of friends, trusted us, and allowed us to capture these memories for you.  xoxo

    07/01/2011 Shore and Country Club Wedding | Connecticut Weddings by Afterglow Photos

    Heather and Jack’s love story began at an engagement party back in 2006.  They met and yes, there were sparks… but it wasn’t until they reconnected a few years later as guests at a wedding when things finally took off.  This time, it was more than a spark and they dated long distance (from Connecticut to California) for about a year because Jack was in the Marine Corps.  This June they were married near where Heather grew up, and it was a bright sunny day in CT (which was shocking considering the rain we had been having).  We were lucky to capture some photos on the hot sandy beaches of Southport, before we caught a glimpse of the most beautiful sunset outside of their reception.

    Come see more photos on the Afterglow Photos Facebook page and a very big thank you to my second shooter Sidney Chang for her incredible eye and photographs that day!  She totally rocked the details and working with the guys, and added to the fun!!  If you are dying to see more, check out our slideshow:  Heather + Jack {Married} from Afterglow Photos on Vimeo.

    Many thanks to the other vendors who were so kind in helping us on this day and provided the services captured in our photographs: St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Shore and Country Club, Priscilla of Boston, Hair of Fairfield, Hansen’s Flower Shop, Goldstar Video, Spoiled Rotten Band and Angela Mia’s Cake.

    Heather and Jack, we had so much fun working with you two and your sweet families, and we wish you many wonderful years with tons of new memories as husband and wife! xoxo

    06/27/2011 Chamard Vineyards Engagement Shoot | CT Shoreline Photography by Afterglow Photos

    Melissa and Nick got engaged at Chamard Vineyards in Clinton, CT last year.  Clinton is one of the beautiful shoreline towns of Connecticut, and has so many cute places and wonderful shops to visit if you are ever in the area.  Chamard just happens to be one of them, and it is quite lovely this time of year with flowers in bloom, wine flowing, and live musicians playing at the bar.  We decided to head back there for our engagement session, since it was the place that held such happy memories for these two.  Here’s a peek at what we got…
