My Favorite Wedding Venues!
My Favorite Wedding Venues!
Here are some of my favorite wedding venues to check out in Connecticut for geeky couples! Many of these venues either offer up very unique looks, or aesthetically fit perfect for some geeky hobbies!
- Bill Miller’s Castle – Which is perfect for Harry Potter and Fantasy themes!
- Society Room – The go-to spot for a Disney Princess wedding
- Lace Factory – A great venue for modern industrial-style weddings with a ton of charm and random extra features!
- Stonehurst At Hampton Valley – If you absolutely must get married in a magical forest, THIS is the place to get married at!
- Pond House – Pond House has some of the best food I’ve eaten at any wedding venue. If you are a foodie check them out!
- Broad Brook Opera House – Ok….I’ll be honest, I love this place because it’s so cool, the owner is cool, and it’s like 5 minutes from my house lol
- The Loading Dock – There’s an arcade in it….enough said

But...that didn't stop me from going skydiving!
In fact I now recommend it for everyone to try out! I may even try to get certified as a diver in my retirement...that's how much I enjoyed it lol.
My college classmates quickly learned why I earned that title as they saw me sleep in every class for 4 years straight....
Graduated and never had to repeat any courses in the 16 years of school I attended!
"Oh you want to hear what my GPA was?"
Oh look at the time....gotta go!
Stating that I'm obsessed over these holidays is an understatement!
St. Patricks I once started tailgating at 5am in negative weather, I've taken months designing Halloween costumes including Daft Punk, Wacky-Waving-Inflatable-Arm-Flailing-Tube-Men, and Deadmau5. And I've made it a tradition to make ridiculous Turduckens for Thanksgiving, the last interpretation included me bacon wrapping it and deep frying it!
So I learned that I can get hypnotized in a very random situation. Me and my cousin went out one night to see the great Patrice O'Neal (RIP) and we were a little late so we were suggest to see the next show.
Turns out there was no next show but a hypnotist was there and we were given free tickets to it because they screwed up! So I ended up getting hypnotized and funny enough we got to meet Patrice afterwards and he loved the entire show including the dumb stuff I did.....it was a Rated R hypnotist show lol.

At Love Long and Prosper Photography I know that you want to walk away with memories that you will never forget . In order to do that, you need someone who can not only capture these memories but assist you in showing the real you in these memories.
The problem is that many folks find themselves too awkward in front of a camera which makes you feel like you cannot capture truly beautiful photos as yourself. That is a load of bull, my goal is to make every couple shine and to show themselves as extraordinary as they feel inside.
I understand that I may have to knock down some of your walls to make you feel comfortable which is why I incorporate funny games or genuinely touching moments in all of my poses and interactions
