It’s amazing to me how every wedding is different and this was no exception — this was a fantastic wedding with a great party and a lot of heart throughout the day – thanks for inviting us to share it with you and welcome back from your Mediterranean cruise – very jealous!

The girls started at the Hilton Garden Inn in Windsor.  I had to laugh as Leslie was coming through this huge dress at me!

After doing Leslie and Aaron’s engagement shoot I knew Leslie was up for anything, so we did a little variation of "typical" bridal shots on the hotel bed (don’t worry, we still got the standards! :)):

Have I gone too far with the next one???  Not sure, but I like it…those are rose petals that the hotel had sprinkled all over the room…

The guys got ready at Aaron’s home-Mike second shot and got some great candids – NICE:

A million flashes went off at the church during the kiss which I really like the look of:

Aaron’s parents reaction as they announce Leslie and Aaron at the church:

We took some family groups outside the church and found an old swing:

The bridal party then went on the party bus to  Hartford City Hall for their photos.  I had never shot there but there was some pretty cool architecture:

The lower level ceiling reiminds me of the Oyster Bar at Grand Central – love it!

My favorite portrait of Leslie and Aaron:

and then it was off to the Farmington Club to celebrate.  The audio to this shot is Leslie yelling "don’t leave the bride behind" (she’s in the middle back)!

The first-dance dip:

Aaron’s brother and best man telling us just a couple of stories about Aaron! 

The little girls who never stopped dancing!!!

A really touching father-daughter dance:

Aaron’s amazing mom who wrote and read a great poem earlier in the evening about Aaron:

Leslie threw her bouquet to her friend off to the side:

Now the dancing started going strong – great music, great dancing with Leslie often leading the party!  For starters, "Greased Lightning" was fully reenacted by all:

Aaron and his nephew on the dancefloor:

I don’t know why, but I really like this shot…

A great spontaneous moment at the end of the night:

"I  like you.  I like this wedding.  High-five!"   — Thanks guys!
