Champagne Bubbles, Sugar Plums and Seven Swans a Swimming....The End!
The sun is setting, casting brilliant shades of purple, pink and turquoise which illuminate the happy couple. The rhinestones in her dress dance in the light and allow it to come alive...
Everyone grabs a candle..
and makes wishes on the full moon for the new couple!!
As the candles blow out, a wish has been made and remnants of the celebration are left over on a little one's nose...
The moon rises over the barn..
A perfect end to a perfect day!

A Christmas Eve Proposal...
Twas the Night Before Christmas...
It is a tradition in husband's family that every year before going to the Christmas vigil service on Christmas Eve his father would read the Night Before Christmas and then we would all head together to church. So it was extra special to me that this was part of the proposal when husband asked me to marry him 6 years ago.
The ring strategically placed in the back of the Night Before Christmas pop up book by Robert Sabuda, popped up as the star on the tree with a little note written inside "will you marry me?"
Since receiving this special book, and proposal I have become a huge fan of Robert Sabuda's pop up books. They are absolutely gorgeous, every pop up illustration more intricate than the next. He is a true artist!
We have his entire Christmas Collection of books that decorate our mantle at the holidays.

Champagne Bubbles, Sugar Plums and Seven Swans a Swimming....Steve DePino...
I have learned that a photographer never travels far from their camera. On the day of The Island Farm Winter Wedding Shoot, for Steve DePino, photographer or dare I say model...it was of no exception. Steve, who is known by all in the Connecticut Wedding Photographers Industry, quickly moved in and out between takes to capture the day. It was pure magic and Abby Larson of Style Me Pretty thought so to, as today,they did a beautiful post on their Little Black Book Blog recognizing his fabulous array of work. A man of many talents, Steve is expanding his business to focus on Editorial and Fashion. With images like this...who's to stop him??
Check out Steve's own blog as well as the amazing post on Style me Pretty's Little Black Book Blog.

Champagne Bubbles, Sugar Plums and Seven Swans a Swimming....The Winter Walk..
Cold hands, warm heart. The group, full of champagne and cupcakes, head out for a Winter's walk to catch the brilliant sunset.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend...
Huddling to keep warm makes for a great family portrait..
A bouquet worthy of the Winter sunset...
As the sun sets, the newlyweds enjoy the last bit of light before heading inside to continue the festivities..
