I had the pleasure of shooting an intimate Halloween Party down in “The Milf” (New Milford, CT) this year. I was picked from a pool of photographers who went after the job and I couldn’t have been happier about being able to shoot an event. Wendy, the hostess, and I went over the details for the night and settled on some ideas for the upcoming shoot.

The night of the party came around and the weather outside couldn’t have been more fitting for a spooky Halloween party. Dark, very stormy, and the nippy October air set the stage perfectly for a night of ghouls and ghosts.

The only drawback for the night was the weather forced many of the planned outdoor shots to be rendered null and void. I learned a very important lesson that night. In all aspects of photography, you’d better have a back up plan!

Luckily, Wendy had a whole spread set up in the house and we made due with keeping everything inside. It’s hard to not love a good Halloween party…
