Alison and Matt E-Session at Ringwood State Park, NJ 07456

Alexie and Christian were married at Mystic Congregational Church Mystic CT the Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington CT. Brett Szemple teamed up with me on this wonderful 3 day shoot.

Let’s get Ready!

Alexie and Christian Tie the Knot

Saltwater Farm Vineyard is set on more than 100 panoramic acres – 15 of which are planted with six varieties of grapes, and bordered by tidal marshes, a cove and vistas of Long Island Sound, near the historic New England coastal village of Stonington, Connecticut.

The centerpiece of the bucolic property, which has a small private airport dating to the late 1930s, is a World War II – vintage hangar, designed by the late architect John W. Lincoln, a colleague of Walter Gropius. The hangar, opening onto terraces and the vineyard, has been preserved and converted into a winery. The seamlessly renovated building showcases a vaulting roof, silvery milled aluminum exterior, the original interior wood sheathing and, dominating the airy room and gathering places, handsome and massive timber trusses.

Saltwater Farm Vineyard is an ideal setting for celebration or for contemplation depending on the occasion.

 

Time to Party!

The “Day After” Session

    Really exciting photos! You are the best kept secret on the east coast. You take so many fantastic shots that other photographers just would not have the vision to take. Whoever hires you to take their wedding shots will be forever grateful for their decision to go with you.ReplyCancel

I  had such a great time working with Alyce and Mark!  I absolutely love shooting E-Sessions with my clients because it’s such a wonderful way to get to know them before their wedding day. There is so much more ease when we work together at their wedding. Wedding day:  April 29th at the Crystal Spring Resort in NJ. Alyce and Mark chose Spring Lake for their E-Session because that’s where they got engaged.


Sarah and Shawn chose The Lafayette Theatre for their “Day After Session”. The Lafayette Theatre is a nationally acclaimed, 1923 movie palace located in downtown Suffern, New York.

I photographed their wedding on February 3, 2007. One and half years later, I documented their maternity and then two years after that, I got to do the Christmas pictures of their beautiful little girl.   Images by Josie

And one and a half years later, serenading the baby.

And two years after that!

The review that they submitted to the Wedding Wire.

“Josie Donatelli is a true professional. We were so thoroughly pleased with the work she did for our wedding, that we had her come back for maternity photos, and then again for our first child’s holiday photos. At our wedding, she was unobtrusive and just a pleasure to work with. She is reliable, patient, and courteous, and she has a great artistic eye. We referred her to friends who also raved about her work. You won’t go wrong by booking her for your wedding!”

    Josephine, your photos are over the top amazing!! I love love love the groom painting the bride’s portrait. Way to pull a rabbit out of a hat on a snowy day. The other shots are just superior to anything I’ve seen before. Beautiful!
