Dough...NUTS!

So seriously, I don't eat donuts. Not that I don't like them. But just one big donut makes me feel as if I should go for a 4 hour ride just to burn off the calories... But this morning, oh boy! Things were a little different. One of the main reasons is because of Tastease in Hartford..... This little joint hidden in such an odd part of the town has these great little donuts. And yes, they're actually little. 2 1/2 inches across to be exact. (and yes, I just put the measuring tape away....

And while I didn't eat all of them. I did have two, one that I thought was just frosted with strawberry and a bloop of tastey'ness on top. BUT NO! It was actually a strawberry cake donut!

And really, just look at these things! I couldn't resist the little photo op as they sat so patiently waiting to be devoured.

The best part, yea, there are still some left. The question that I have to ask though, are they better to just look at, smell, or enjoy with the taste buds. Well, I think we all know the answer. But hey, they do smell good & look awesome. (and taste even better!!!!)

Because we need to... Livestrong...

Ben and Annette... And a warm day with great smiles!

So as I often say, I love what I do. Being involved in such remarkable days from start to finish just rocks! And for this day, last Saturday at Anthonys Ocean View, it was none the less for Ben and Annette.

Of course starting at her house was just great. All her girls for the day obviously love this bride to be. And her father, from all the smiles and facial expressions. So great...

And of course you have her flowers but more importantly is this shy young guy who, well, after about 30 seconds was no longer shy. Well, at least I don't think he was. What do you think???

And the girls, with the beautiful dresses and her neighbors awesome barn...

But that didn't last long as the day was rapidly rolling along. I won't lie, there are times when it would be nice to just slow the clock down a little... None the less, it was onto Anthony's where the rings were waiting...

And so was the groom. Cool as ice with the shades. Which sounds easier than it is when it's roasty and humid out...

And when it comes down to it. You know this couple rides the same wave when on their wedding day, they each receive a card from the other. And what would you know, it's the same card. Go figure...

But enough of that... It's time to get to the after party. Smiles.. Dancing... Laughs...

Hang on one minute... Before the after party, well, we need a quick pit stop... (

And for those of you that are about preserving the sound, yea. Don't stress. It's all fun )

So here comes the party, making people wonder and one mans thought... "If I were a rich man, yada yada bada bada dada dada da...."

And that brought on a handful of surprise throughout the evening. In all good style...

Well, for the most part...

But what more can you say.....

It's Ben and Annette - and their day.....

A stork is flying due north!

Becoming a parent is a remarkable thing! And for one special couple, it's no different. Except some rockin' photos to go along with the baby to be... Just wait till the baby pics happen!

Popping up here and there...

And everywhere. Like on a rockin' blog on onewed.com .... Check it out!

In other great news...

In other great TAB photographic news, well... It's all good. Recently being talked about on another awesome wedding blog by Dana from Revel and Bloom which can be seen and read at www.OnceABride.blogspot.com.

And that's not all. Some other great news is that TAB Photographic has been honored with a brides choice award at Weddingwire.com. And one of the great things about this award is that it's actually chosen through a process of surveys and more which are answered from previous brides. So it makes me extremely happy that previous brides are still loving that TAB photographic ways even after their beautiful day!

And why stop there. 

I don't think I ever even mentioned that I was noted as a Best of 2008 at onewed.com. Which by the way has just restyled their entire site to make it a little more fun and interactive for future brides and bridal parties! But even that best of 2008 is just awesome! However again, it's not about the award, it's about knowing TAB photographic couples continue to be beyond happy with what they receive after their days!!!

Such a great Crazy...

Stacey and Miles. He's from New Zealand... She's from Ct... Something brought them together on one night in one bar for one picture with a stranger (each other) that night... And there's no wonder that a picture with a stranger brought these two together because they just fit...

Their energy works. The happiness they bring each other...

To their friends from around the world. It seems like all those they've personally come in contact with knew from the start that these two are just great people....

And they have a fun style to boot. From a simple yet fun cake...

To the simple yet stylish dress....

And the sleek suits for the guys... There really is no wonder why each piece of the puzzle fit together so well. And well...

There's no question that as the years go on, the pieces of the puzzle will continue to fit into the lives of Stacey and Miles...
