Typically, I get an email from a bride about a wedding and we pick a time to meet. Sometimes there's a groom with her and sometimes there's not. But there's almost always a bride at our first meeting. In this case, I was only in CT for a day and Stef was away. So, instead of postponing, she sent Mike. On his own. To meet with a wedding photographer. Albeit armed with a list of questions, but on his own nonetheless. My first thought was: What a good fiancee! Followed quickly by: If I made Joe do this for our wedding he would have had me killed. 
 
I knew just from the mere act of showing up sans bride that Mike was a keeper! And after hearing how he talked about Stef, I knew that she must be really special as well. And last month at the SMP Bride Brunch, in walks a girl with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and greeted me with a smile and big hug! I knew immediately it was Stef. She was, to a tee, as Mike had described her. 
 
A few weeks ago, we met up again (all three of us this time) for a stroll around New Haven, followed by pizza at Pepe's, where they had their first date! For those of you not from CT: You don't know pizza until you've been to Wooster Street! Mike & Stef were, just as I expected, so so sweet together. Here are a few of my favorites for our evening on Wooster Street!

M + S, Thanks for such a fun evening in New Haven and for the pizza! It was so great to catch up with the both of you at the same time, I can't wait until August! :) 
 
Happy Thursday!

And an out take... of course!
