For her October Mystic Seaport wedding our bride Michelle choose these amazing Ivanka Trump shoes in deep cobalt satin as her “something blue” ! Below see our bride as she enters wearing shoes from the Ivanka Trump line for their “first look” at the Mystic Hyatt Place!  More and more of our couples are choosing a “first Look”,  an opportunity for the couple to see each other before the ceremony and share those first moments together as an about-to-be married couple.  The best part of a first look?  It can free up the couple to take the portraits and family pictures before the ceremony, leaving the couple free to enjoy the cocktail hour with their guests!

    The picture of ladylike refinement, Ivanka Trump translates her own sense of sophisticated style into luxurious fine jewelry and beautiful, affordable footwear

Heartprint Photography had a wonderful 2011, and one of our highlights was photographing an amazing Vow Renewal/35th wedding anniversary at the beautiful New Haven Country Club! This was a really special evening with great people and amazing attention to detail.  We will post more about the event and celebration itself soon, but wanted to start by giving a very big round of applause to Sharon Elizabeth’s Floral Design of CT.  The florals were lush and opulent, rich and lavish!  With elegance and style they transformed the beautiful English Tudor country club into an amazing setting for this special event.  Sharon Elizabeth’s was responsible for all the floral design as well as the rich table linens, silver table candelabra, and mounds and mounds of rose petals lining the aisle!  And yes, that main bouquet was heart shaped, of course we would love that!

The first portrait is one of my very favorite newborns ever, such cheeks!  The second image is the same baby girl as a gorgeous toddler…and the last, her brand new baby sister!  Enjoy!

Heartprint Photography has truly been blessed by clients that come back to us year after year, sometimes from quite a distance, to photograph their growing families.  Sometimes we meet them as newly engaged couples, we photograph their wedding and then a bit down the road as new parents.  We often photograph their first child as a newborn only a few days old.  It is so much fun to see their child again as a toddler, very often with a new baby sister or brother in tow!  As we reflect on the past year and look forward to 2012 we first and foremost want to thank all the Heartprint couples and families who have made this remarkable journey possible, we never for a moment forget the trust you have placed in Heartprint to record the most important moments of your life. We are both grateful and humbled.  Over the next few weeks we will be posting some recent before and after portraits of Heartprint growing families…enjoy!
