Anne, hair and make-up session

this is part of the first batch of photos that i was commissioned to shoot over the past weekend in Connecticut for a cousin's daughter Anne...beautiful, solemn, gastronomic. since the lovely bride and groom both have speech and hearing impairment, it was a first not just for me but to most of us to witness such a very 'different' wedding, so to speak.

...it wasn't really as challenging as one would think since candid, unobtrusive shots are what i was after. but i did learn a few basic sign languages, more importantly...pointing @ the side of your lips for? what else? ---SMILE! more samplers coming up! and enjoy browsing!
