A Carnival Rehearsal Dinner | Matthew J Wagner Fine Photography

Monday, August 9th, 2010

A rehearsal dinner may be filled with some anxiety and excitement, but why not let go of it all and have some fun at the carnival! The images below were captured by Connecticut photographer Matthew J Wagner at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven. The guests in the images below could not look more satisfied, as well as the bride and groom who couldn’t look happier together. Pizza, hot dogs, prizes, gelato, cupcakes, and of course, topping off the night with fireworks!  Check Matthew’s  blog for more images from this super cute and festive evening!

Modern Cookies from Cookie Creatives by Jennifer

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Finally, a post about new cookies!!  I made these modern engagement cookies back at the end of May for an engagement party.  The couple’s wedding colors are dark purple, copper, and ivory which was an interesting color combination and one that seems both classic and modern at the same time.  To get the copper color I used a light copper colored frosting and hand painted the lines with bronze luster dust.  It’s not completely apparent from these pictures, but after the cookies were packaged and when the sunlight hit the copper lines they glistened, much like real copper.  I loved the effect of something shimmery to catch your eye without the whole cookie being excessivly sparkly!  I think that it added to the elegance while the clean lines kept everything feeling fresh and modern.
