Graham Scobey bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with the art of photography: the ability to stop time, to capture a single moment, and then to carry that moment with us for the rest of our lives.  It is this fascination that led me to a career doing just that. 

I strive to bring a unique perspective to every subject I shoot, assuring that my clients’ moments are captured in a fresh, innovative style.  My goal is to not only photograph my subjects, but to encapsulate the very spirit of their momentous day.

Your moments are precious.  Capture them for a lifetime.

Jeannette and Brian: Engaged

Saturday, May 22, 2010 Posted in Engagements

A few weeks ago, while I was still a CT resident, I ventured on over to Danbury to meet my October C10ike clients Jeannette and Brian.  These two are an amazing couple, and two of the nicest people I have ever met.

We were meeting at a park, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  I drove into a bare parking lot that backed up to a trail into the woods.  I would have never known that through the woods and over the hill it would open up to this:

I drove through rain the entire way to Danbury, but when I got to the park, it was sunny and beautiful.

Jeannette and Brian enjoy hiking together, so we all went on a short stroll up to the top of the hill in the park.  The light up there was beautiful.

On the way back to the cars, we saw this random piece of rusting farm equipment in the middle of a lush, green field.  Naturally, we hit it up!

Jeannette and Brian – I had a blast with you guys and enjoyed getting to know you both a little better.  Ashley and I are pumped about your wedding!  See you in October!

Maren: Three Weeks

Sunday, February 7, 2010 Posted in Newborn

Three weeks ago, Jeff and Kirstie brought home the latest addition to their family.  Yesterday I got to meet this gorgeous little girl and photograph her over-the-top-cuteness.  This gal brightens whatever room she’s in.

Meet Maren:

Jeff and Kirstie are over the moon for her.

When it was time for her closeup, she rose to the occasion and flaunted her beautiful eyes.

Is there anything cuter than baby feet?

Jim and Jaime: The Red Barn Wedding

Wednesday, January 6, 2010 Posted in News, Weddings

It’s time to break my vow of blog silence…  I’ll admit it: last year I was not a diligent blogger.  It was, however, a very awesome year.  After shooting over 30 weddings my head was spinning, and I got so far behind on the blog that I just gave up.

This year, however, I am determined to do better.  Ashley and I have been making our goals for the year, and we have some very exciting things going on (more on that in a future post).  But for now, it’s time to catch up on some highlights from last year:

In September, I joined forces with Katie Slater to shoot her clients, Jim and Jaime, and their beautiful wedding at The Red Barn in Amherst, MA.  Jim and Jaime are both wonderful people, and we had an awesome time documenting their wedding.  Here are some of my favorite images I was able to capture that day:

Guy and Melissa: Engagement Shoot

Thursday, October 22, 2009 Posted in Engagements

Earlier this week, I met up with Guy and Melissa at UConn for their engagement session.  I met these two around this time last year when they were dating.  Ashley and Guy are in the same grad program at UConn, and when we met I knew immediately from their homestar runner inspired sense of humor that we would get along very well!

Guy proposed to Melissa earlier this year, and I was thrilled when they asked me to shoot their engagement photos.  We started here, in the quad where they met as undergrads.

Guy and Melissa 1

As we walked around campus, Guy told me how he picked out the ring and how he proposed.  Melissa couldn’t help but smile listening to him tell the story.

When we came across this tree, Melissa jokingly asked if I was going to make them climb it.

And I was like, “Actually, I like that idea!”

After we had walked around campus for a while, we made our way up to Horse Barn Hill. I love this one. Don’t they look like they are standing on top of the world?!

Guy and Melissa 8

I had no idea what kind of views there were from up there!

The clouds provided us with an absolutely beautiful sunset.

These two took direction so well. They are natural models!

It just kept getting better and better! These last two definitely make my “favorites” list.

Guy and Melissa – I had a blast with you guys.  Congratulations on your engagement! You are absolutely perfect for one another.

Matt and Hien: Villa Capri

Friday, October 16, 2009 Posted in Weddings

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Matt and Hien’s wedding.  A big thank you to Jim Altieri for shooting with me! These two really make an amazing couple.  You can really tell just how much they love each other.  It was such an honor for me to get to share in their special day!

Before the ceremony, I dropped by Hien’s parents’ house where Hien and her girls were getting ready:

Hien had a team of people helping her get ready.  While her maid of honor was zipping up her dress, another one of her bridesmaids was reapplying her lip gloss.

Then it was on to the ceremony.  I met up with Jim at the church and we went to work snagging some details.  I love his shot of Hien’s bouquet on the bottom right:

Then it was on to the reception, and the couple’s first dance:

As part of a Vietnamese tradition, the couple visited every table during dinner.  One person from each table gave the couple a blessing on behalf of the rest of the table.

This group knew how to dance!  Their reception was a blast.

This guy wowed everyone with his moves:

Congratulations, Matt and Hien!  May you have many years of happiness in your new life together!

Jen and Jon: Old Lyme

Thursday, October 8, 2009 Posted in Weddings

Last weekend, my partner in crime (Ashley) and I rolled on down to Wallingford to photograph Jen and Jon’s big day.  The forecast said that the chance of rain was 100%, so we geared up for a rainy day.  Turns out we didn’t need to.  The rain held off and the clouds provided the perfect light for the entire day, like a giant softbox in the sky!

Jen got ready at her parents house.  Before she put her dress on, we snagged some details.  Jen’s Dress was absolutely stunning!

While I worked the dress, Ashley grabbed some details of the shoes and the bouquet.

Jen’s bridesmaids did a fantastic job arranging the flowers.  Ashley grabbed this shot, too.

The ceremony was at the First Baptist Church in Wallingford.  Ashley snagged this shot of Jen while she waited to make her entrance.

You could tell Jon had been waiting his whole life for this.

After the ceremony, we all headed down to the reception at Jon’s Parents’ place on the beach in Old Lyme.  To accommodate their guests, they set up a huge tent next to their house.

Ashley and I arrived a little bit before the bridal party, so we got to work capturing the details.

When Jen and Jon arrived, it started to rain a little bit, but these two were troopers!  I guess that umbrella did come in handy after all!  This is definitely one of my favorites from the day:

The rain didn’t last long, though, so we got the whole bridal party out for some fun.  Ashley took the girls:

Jen and Jon had their first dance to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”.  The folks from The Aquaturf Catering provided their signature fog:

The Maid of Honor and the Best Man both gave very heartfelt toasts.

And then, it happened… The King himself surprised the newlyweds with a posthumous performance.

After they cut the cake, it was time for folks to get their dance on!

Even this little guy was out there starting a fire on the dance floor.

Ashley stepped outside for a moment and came back with these incredible ring shots:

The Father-Daughter dance was precious.  You couldn’t hide the smile on either of their faces.

I’ll leave you with a couple more of my favorites.  The clouds in the sky provided a beautiful sunset photo-op, and you know we weren’t going to pass that up!

Congratulations Jen and Jon!  Thank you for sharing your special day with us.

Sophia: Three Weeks

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized

I’m finishing up a nostalgic visit to LA, and realizing that this place hasn’t changed much in the year and a half since we moved away: people I love, traffic I hate, ridiculously beautiful weather, ridiculously beautiful people, and a taste of every culture imaginable.  It has been great to reconnect with a few people I haven’t seen in a while, but sadly I haven’t had enough time to see even half of the people I wanted to.  I have gotten to see the little gal I was most excited to see, though.  Sophia is my niece, and she invited me out to hang out with her and her parents and take her first round of head-shots (she’s getting an early start on her acting career… it is LA after all).  So, without further ado, I present to you the beautiful Sophia:

Sophia 1

She loves sticking her tongue out at her uncle:

Sophia 2

Sophi’s parents, Lauren and Josh, are head over heels in love with this girl.

Sophia 3

Sophia 4

Sophi – It was so great to get to meet you.  Know that you are loved by people all over the globe.  You have some of the best parents on the planet, and you are going to have so much fun with them.  Come visit us soon!

Love,

Your crazy uncle Graham
