Annandale Photography

With a creative and innovative spirit anything is possible. At Annandale Photography we never stop asking our self’s “What can we be doing right now to capture this moment’s emotion, how is the light affecting the drama of the landscape, and where should we be right now for the most elegant composition?” We continually strive for excellence in imagery, imagery that tells your unique story with grace and beauty.

A totally new concept in wedding films

The premier of Flash Forward went absolutely perfect. Nearly 100 guests filled the theater and everyone enjoyed the movie and the after party at Flipside Bar and Grill.

During the movie it was a total thrill to watch Nicole and John (Bride & Groom) while they watched themselves for the first time on the big screen acting and being movie stars in their own movie. They laughed and wiped a few tears back as they relived memories of their wedding day and the day we spent shooting the scripted portion of the film.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and has left David Ruzicka from www.fairytalestudio.com and myself amped and energized. We will now  start planning another movie with another unique plot and another amazing bride and groom. Because Flash Forward is only the second concept wedding film of its kind in the world we learned a lot. We look forward to using what we have learned to improve our skills and make the second one even better.

Cheers and thanks for watching :)

Engagement photography at Chamard Vineyards and Jones family tree farm / Devra @ Will

These guys have great energy and as you can tell from the photos, like to have fun together. Just my kind of couple, we had a great day. We started at their house in the pool. I got the shots with Will jumping in the air with just my head and camera sticking out of the water. I used a serving plate from the kitchen to cover the camera as soon as Will hit the water so my gear wouldn’t get drenched. We then went to Chamard Vineyard and we took a few photographs in their wine cellar. Down town New Haven was next and after that we ended the day at Jones Family tree farm.  :)

Wedding Photography at Amarante’s Sea Cliff in New Haven / Heather & Alex

I photographed this wedding with my good friend Steve Blazo from www.BlazoPhoto.com. The bride and groom’s family are personal friends with Steve so it was a nice relaxed day with lots of love, good food and merriment. We started at the Omni Hotel in New Haven, took a few shots around town and then went to Amarante’s Sea Cliff for ceremony and reception.

Wedding Photography at the Aqua Turf in Plantsville, CT / Stephanie & Jonathan

From the beginning Stephanie and Jonathan stressed they really wanted something different. There locations were West Haven beach and the Aqua Turf so to deliver something different I new I would need to find another location. I went hunting and found a industrial site near the West Haven Beach I thought would work. I went to their house the day before the wedding and showed Jonathan photos I had taken of the industrial location get his feed back and see if it would work for them. The verdict was yes so on the wedding day we took a little detour off the beaten path and gave it a shot. It worked out great and I love the photos.

I look forward to their Trash the Dress shoot, we have some super duper ideas :)

Wedding photography at Grassy Hill Country Club in Orange CT / Katie & Anthony

This is the third wedding I have photographed for Katie’s family and extended family and I had a wonderful time. It was a real treat to see so many familiar faces. I tried a few concepts I have never seen before or tried.  It makes me happy to always be pushing myself and coming up with new ideas and trying new things. I spent quite a bit of time scoping out Grassy Hill country club the previous week to find the best spots and it paid off. It was a pleasure to work there everyone on their staff was wonderful and the venue and the grounds photographed great.
