Mallory & Chris capped off my four day shooting intensive (I will post about the other 2 weddings soon!) with a really fun engagement shoot in their hometown of Stratford, CT. One of my favorite parts of my job is learning about new places right here in Connecticut. Stratford, you say? I say STRATFORD!! What a cute place! We met up at Short Beach which offered the best of it all, a nice beach, baseball diamonds, and a golf green! Plus I love the drives, gives me time to think and strategize about my shoot- like trying some new things I've wanted to do but haven't yet, or figuring out a new way to shoot the ring, one of my favorite things, some of you will agree. Oh and feet, can I not get enough? No!! Especially when Mallory wears cowboy boots! You guys just keep feeding my foot & shoe shot addiction! I guess there could be worse things in life. Mallory & Chris were so natural and tender and caring with each other, it made photographing them a piece of cake. Seriously, every time I would think 'oh- I wish Chris would just look up' BAM! He would. Mallory would tilt her head just so, right when I was thinking it or they would just completely change it up as I was thinking it! They had ESP- Engagement Shoot Perception. I told them that if there was an Engagement Shoot Olympics they would totally medal. Can I get an AMEN??
*on an aside, not sure how to weave this in- but thank you so much Mickie for the referral! I have to give a shout out to all of my loyal supporters who plug me relentlessly- like Renee and Jen and Susannah and Jaime and all of my past clients and current clients and friends. It means so much to know I have all of your love and support for my business!

wonderful work as usual, carla, but I guess I was hoping for more classic 80's comedy posters like Caddyshack or Sixteen Candles. You could put captions of thought bubbles over your clients pictures "no more wanky my cranky donger need food" "hey wang what's with the pictures it's a parking lot" ya know stuff like that
more trivia: what do local stratfordians call stratford? (who the hell do I think I am Pat Sajak?)
wow, I felt the love and admiration just radiating from your post. I guess you could say to me 'stop whining IT'S BAD FOR YOUR COMPLEXION!!'
lame joke based on yesterdays Vacation post...you know I love your work carla!
we are totally even. Guess you didn't like my obscure 16 Candles quote! Maybe my next blog post will be 'when lame movie quotes go bad and ruin friendships' :P
haha exactly! I blame Susanah. good sixteen candles quote by the way, I totally missed it. you even ALL CAPPED on the right lines...
"I'm not really a farmer...I'm a freshman"
If I could quote the kazoo song on the bus I would, let me just throw that out there
Great pics and I'm so glad to see that people outside of Kansas wear cowboy boots, too.
THAT would be something! I always wanted to use "Promise" to my mom if she threatened me with a punishment that wouldn't mean anything.
"What are you bitching about, I gotta sleep under a chinaman named after a duck's dork" "You don't spell it son, ya eat it"
this should be its own whole thing- movie quote tag. huh.
AUTO-MO-BILE???
"he's drunk as a skunk"
'i just wanna be with YOU guys!!'
