A Sunny Summer Weekend in Stratford, CT

The weather report assured us that all of this past week and this past weekend would be soaked thanks to an array of scattered thunder storms... but those rain clouds didn't show their face on Saturday. Instead, there was nothing but blue skies and sunshine in Stratford, CT on Lordship Beach for Bree and Brian's intimate wedding!

Here's a little sneak peak featuring Bree's absolutely adorable nephew:


The delightful young gentleman picked flowers for all his family members during the ceremony and even honored me with one. What a sweetheart!

Woo! Fun New Things for Fairfield County CT Wedding and Portrait Photographer, Lillie Fortino Photography!

So exciting. This Saturday marks the start of the summer, and I couldn't be more excited to tell you all that Lillie Fortino Photography is changing along with the seasons. A few days ago I launched the new website (which, lets face it, really needed to be done... it was very circa 2004) and I couldn't be happier with the results. There's already been some new inquiries and tons of positive feedback. I guess that just goes to show you that working late into the night while your boyfriend falls asleep on the couch snoring and then complains that you're not paying enough attention to him is worth it!

It's totally worth a looksie.

What else is changing? The goodies! I'm offering a lot of new options for clients when it comes to album options and other fun things you can do with your photographs. I think my favorite would have to be the fact that soon I will be offering "unbound" albums from HH Boogie. What is an unbound album, you say? It's an album without binding! You photos are wrapped in a leather satchel and housed in a beautiful Amish hand made wooden case. The workman ship on these products is a true art form and I really think they go along with all the great aesthetics I try to perpetuate at Lillie Fortino Photography. So. Pretty.

So, evolving we are!

Tonight I'm hosting a dinner party for two of the loveliest fellow Connecticut Wedding Photographers I know and I'm stoked. It should be a lot of fun... and nothing is better than being able to talk creatively and learn and inspire each other! I definitely over did it on the food though... I hope everyone's hungry.

Sneak Peek: They say if it rains on your wedding day it's good luck!

Yesterday was Loreta's DIY (BEAUTIFUL flowers!) Wedding to William in Norwalk and Shelton, CT. If you're on the east coast, you know yesterday was drowned in torrential downpours... but that didn't stop Loreta, William, or their wedding from being a beautiful blast!

Here's a little sneak peak of their "sunny on a rainy day" wedding:






Nope, I don't see any clouds. Do you?

Be sure to check in here and there to see the rest of the wedding!
