We got fake married last week!

Esther and I were fake married last week, to help out with our photographers Justin and Mary Marantz. They do photography workshops with budding wedding photographers, and last week, they held their most recent workshop at the classicly beautiful Chamard Vineyards in Clinton, CT.

We arrived at the very hospitable White Dress by the Shore, so E could don a 'cupcake' dress, then shot across the street to Jennie Fresa for some makeup artistry. The White Dress folks also chose some hair adornments for E to sport, and after we arrived at the vineyard, and a quick consultation with Mary and me, she settled on...a tiara?

yep, it looked good, with E all princess'd out, but it doesn't really take a huge effort to make Esther look good.

But, like Aunt Norma says, 'Eh...you could put her in a potato sack, and she'd look stunning.'

I think we were initially a touch intimidated by the huge throng of photographers and the paparazzi like flash bulb popping, but we settled in to the process, almost as a continuation of our first experience with J&M.

After the shoot, the always generous Marantz's invited us to Miso in New Haven for a rejuvenating sushi dinner, and we were on our way back to Boston.

So, be sure to check out the sneak peek post HERE ...

Also noticed that one of the photographers (Jake from Nodo Photograph) that attended the workshop has also posted some photos on his blog. He has an expensive camera, and he uses it for good, not evil.
