Kathryn and Oliver’s Summer Solstice CT Tent Wedding

I love how every wedding is unique and Kathryn and Oliver's was no exception – it had an elegant country feel to everything and we definitely got some great and unique pictures (look for bride kissing her (frog) prince and the groom on a rope swing over the Farmington River!)

Kathryn got ready in her parents' home where the tent reception would be held:

Dinner was delicious and included fresh cornbread.  It was catered by The Savory Palate in Manchester:

We were taking a few pics with Kathryn's girlfriends when a new man came into the picture…how many people kiss a frog on their wedding day!

We were going to do a small shoot down by the river and ended up having about 30 people go on the walk – it had a great feel and incredibly beautiful light.

Here is one of my favorite pics of the day…I just felt it captured this elegant country girl side of Kathryn…we'll see if she agrees!

The tables were decorated with seating tag-tied pears and little paper bag favors.  Inside the bags were little jars of local honey and maple syrup — great idea!

OPM (Other People's Music) was the band and for late night dancing…the jukebox!
