The Endless Summer.  I used to have that dayglo movie poster on my wall back in the day.  A few weeks ago at Diah and Colin’s wedding, Colin’s brother Andrew–as only one’s siblings can do–recounted the time that his teenage brother, inspired by that surfing movie, handmade his own surfboard…and took to the waters of Long Island Sound on an oddly-shaped, sinking fiberglass creation.  So it was all quite fitting that Colin and Diah were married in the summer, at the seaside–with a gorgeous red-orange sunset for a backdrop at the Riverside Yacht Club in Greenwich CT.

Guests, many who traveled from India, dined under the tent decorated with flowers from Something Special florist,  before hitting to the dance floor bigtime to the high energy sounds of Joe D’Elia and the Allstar Band.   All very relaxed and in-the-moment, right up to the sparkler exit, when Diah &  Colin hopped a getaway on Riverside’s harbor launch.

It was nice to return to the Riverside Yacht Club and a it was pleasure working with Slainte event planners from Madison CT.  Congratulations Diah and Colin and your parents!!  Enjoy your 2nd wedding celebration in India…and thanks for having us photograph your day!

Hosting your daughter’s wedding at your home may seem daunting to some (see Father of the Bride) but Debbie and Jack made it all look easy…and beautiful and relaxed.

Allison and Richard’s wedding at her parents’ lovely home overlooking a pond in Darien CT was perfect in every way.  From the leisurely cocktail party to dinner under the Sperry Tent (all catered by Marcia Selden Catering with gorgeous flowers from Westport’s KD&J Botanica);  from the ride to the church in a Packard 1940s woodie station to the extremely high energy dance party…it was all a joyous celebration in great style.

Wonderful speeches from Allison’s father and the brothers on both sides welcomed the couple into an even bigger, loving family.   Then the party amped up and–as Richard recommended in his speech–people got their rage on, ending in a bridal mosh pit of sorts as the Party on the Moon band played on (see final pics)!

Congratulations Allison and Richard!!  Thanks so much for having us photograph your wonderful wedding weekend!

Woodway Beach Club Tented Rehearsal Dinner: Allison and Richard!

Allison and Richard kicked off their wedding weekend in seaside style at the Woodway Beach Club in Stamford CT with a rehearsal dinner hosted by Richard’s parents, Ann Marie and Dick!   The night included islandy touches–a steel drum band, dark and stormy’s, long tables decorated with nautical stripes and a burst of sunflowers by Winston Flowers, all capped with a lobster bake under a sailcloth tent on Woodway’s beach on Long Island Sound.  All with a relaxed, reunion feel punctuated by extremely funny and touching toasts by Richard’s father and their close friends.

The slideshow of Allison and Richard growing up sure made me think of that not-so-distant day when we’ll be watching Sebbie and Jude’s lives flash on the screen at their weddings.  Such a great party…with much more to come…their wedding at Allison’s parents’ home in Darien..stay tuned!  Congratulations Allison and Richard (and Debbie, Jack, Ann Marie and Dick!)  Here are some highlights of the evening, and click here to view lots more photos!
