I had so much fun second shooting for my friend and fellow photographer, Hillary at this wedding at Wright’s Mill Farm!  The brides bouquet was beautiful and the two sided cake was very unique and I loved being able to get creative with formal portrait time as well!

Summer Wedding at The Glastonbury Boathouse | Wedding Photography | Glastonbury, CT

ABBY & ANDY | CT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY | GLASTONBURY, CT

Well hi again, everyone!

Tonight, I am posting just a small sample of the amazing photos from Abby & Andy’s wedding on June 23, 2017 at The Glastonbury Boathouse.

These two met just about 5 years ago while Abby was visiting her friend Vanessa in Maine.  Andy was also visiting his friend Nick (who happened to be Vanessa’s brother) the same weekend. Shortly after that, Andy asked Abby out.   I was fortunate enough to work with them for the first time when I took their engagement photos at Rocky Neck State Park.  If you didn’t get a chance to see them before, you can check them out here!

Their wedding day was just perfect! It was casual and fun which represented exactly who they are.  They chose to have a first look at the State Capitol building in Hartford, CT and then it was onto the boathouse for their ceremony and reception.  The weather looked a little threatening but ended up being just perfect!

It was a jam-packed day but they still managed to find little moments alone to steal a kiss or just enjoy a quiet moment together!  They danced a choreographed first dance to “I Choose You” by Sara Bareilles and executed it flawlessly!  Here are some of the other people who helped make this day amazing!

Caterer & Cake Maker: David Allen Catering

DJ: DJ Jolt Entertainment

Dress: BHLDN in downtown Chicago

Officiant: Rose-Ann Chrzanowski

Ashley & James | Engagement Photography | Niantic, CT

ASHLEY & JAMES | CT ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY | NIANTIC BOARDWALK, NIANTIC, CT

Hey guys! Great to see you again!  Tonight’s blog post features Ashley, James, & their sweet pup!

These two grew up on opposite sides of CT until James moved to Ashley’s side of the state after college.   Two days before they were set to move to Minnesota together, James had suggested they take a walk along the beach to relax.  Little did Ashley know that James had his Aunts hiding in the rocks to photograph the moment he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him!  Once she said yes, they took a walk to the spot where they had their first date, The Black Sheep.  When she walked in, she found all their friends and family waiting to celebrate with them!!

When it was time for their engagement session, we met up at the very same beach where James proposed for their engagement photos.  It was windy and chilly on the water, but it didn’t bother the two of them at all!   These two will be getting married September 22, 2018 at the Mystic Yachting Center in Mystic, CT and I am so excited to be sharing their day with them!

Lydia & Matt | RI Engagement Photography | Watch Hill Beach, Westerly, RI

Hey guys!  Thanks for stopping by!  This past September, I got to meet up with Lydia & Matt (and their pup Jake) at Watch Hill beach for their engagement photos.  This soon-to-be wedded couple will be getting married on April 7, 2018 at Valley of Fire State Park in sunny Nevada!

 

The two of them met at their favorite bar in Norwich. Lydia was out with some girlfriends when Matt came over and they started talking. They realized they had a lot of the same interests, and ended up getting her phone number!  When it came time to propose, they went to Newport for Lydia’s birthday weekend. They went to the Cliff Walk and walked down to the Forty Steps- these are steps that lead down to a small stone landing. Matt was waiting for the other couples to leave so he could pop the question.  Finally, only one other couple was left. They asked them to take their picture, then offered to take a picture of them.  He proposed while they were taking their picture!
What a sweet story!
When I asked them what they were most excited about for their wedding, they said definitely the location and reception! They love traveling, and neither of them have been tNevada before.  They are also really looking forward to their private reception at Fogo de Chao, a Brazilian Steakhouse.  I know it’s going to be a gorgeous wedding!

Future wedding details aside, let’s get to the present: Lydia & Matt’s engagement session! These two are real naturals in front of the camera. Their super cute pup, fabulous outfit choices, a perfect location and their genuine love for each other made this photo shoot one of my favorites yet!

Best of luck to the happy couple!
