Old Lyme CT Backyard Tented Wedding: Marina and James!
Green grass, blue sky, white dress and a red truck….along with one very happy couple. It all adds up to a wonderful Connecticut Shore backyard wedding for Marina and James in Old Lyme earlier in August! Just perfect, from the relaxed summery feel of the cocktail party on the lawn to dinner & dancing under the big tent set on Marina’s parents’ beautiful yard.
Marina radiated happiness throughout the day, looking great in her stylish Monique Lhuillier dress. Lots of white and lavender touches from James’ tie to the purple flowers from Old Lyme’s Elements to the bridesmaids in cool white dresses…even their puppy was decked out for the wedding and quite eager to run down the aisle at the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme! After cocktails and dinner, there were s’mores galore at the fireplace and lots of Instagramming of fun photos, then folks danced all night to the music of the Search Party Band. Madison’s Culinary Concerts provided the catering and event coordination–a wonderful job. And it was fun again to work alongside Steve and his team from Steven Fowler Films.
Congratulations Marina and James–thanks for having us capture your day!! To see lots more photos click here…

Westport CT Red Barn Wedding: Emily and Bryan!
It was wonderful being back at Robbi and Bob’s home in Westport to photograph their daughter Emily and Bryan’s wedding! Two years ago we photographed Em’s sister Josie’s wedding to Elliott–great seeing them again too. A really warm and loving family–great role models for all us parents.
Em and Bryan live in Ann Arbor MI (Go Blue!) on a farm, and as her dad noted in his speech, they’ve followed Robert Frost’s advice, taking the road less traveled…and it made all the difference. They brought some of that country into Fairfield County at Westport’s rustic Red Barn Restaurant with a cool twist on wedding music and dances from Patricia Thompson, Dance Caller’s band based in Newtown CT. Patricia had the guests do-si-do-ing through all kinds of circle dances and promenade arches…totally fun and different!
Loved Emily’s cream and aqua vintage dress and the broach bouquets that Robbi made for Emily and the girls. And the colorful country tablecloths and wildflowers brought a relaxed farm-to-table feeling to the reception. A fun and in-the-moment wedding with a couple’s unique stamp of personality.
Thanks Em and Bryan for having us document your day! And congratulations Robbi and Bob!! You can see many more photos by clicking here…

It was a turf and surf engagement session with Laura and John a few weeks back…starting at Clinton’s Chamard Vineyard and heading to Madison’s Hammonasset Beach as the sun set…gorgeous! Beautiful locales and light, and we had a great time getting to know Laura and John who are incredibly upbeat and nice and whose wedding is next summer at the Madison Beach Club. Thanks Laura and John for a fun shoot! Enjoy the rest of the summer! To see lots more photos click here…
