Styled Wilderness Shoot!

I’ve always shied away from styled shoots as they can be misleading to potential clients. While it does portray a photographers style it in no way is a fair representation of the work a photographer can produce under pressure, with limited time, in variable lighting conditions on a wedding day. I have real weddings to edit anyways 🙂

However, I’m so happy that the stars aligned and we got to do this mini style shoot last October. On wedding days you can’t drag a bride and groom anywhere you please to make images…..I try 🙂 But keeping them clean and intact is kinda important! Enter the guerrilla roving styled shoot. Just me, a bride and groom, a car and the afternoon. We drove from Canton to Colebrook stopping anywhere we fancied to shoot during peak foliage….photographers dream!

The biggest thanks to Christine, owner of The Harwinton Florist. I have the pleasure of photographing her work at weddings throughout Connecticut every year…always excited to see what she comes up with.  Muchas Gracias!

Also, thank you to one of my second shooters Ashley and her fiancee Doug. These two climbed boulders, perched on rocks in rivers and hiked game trails all afternoon with me. Troopers!
