Two Fridays ago Jane and I were on the ferry from Orient Point, NY to New London and passed right by the Branford House mansion in beautiful Groton (we were returning from a few days with the kids on the North Fork).  And just 24 hours later we were right back there, photographing Nicole and Drew’s wonderful wedding reception on the huge lawn of the Branford House.

Nicole’s dad Bob oversaw all the particulars of Nicole and Drew’s wedding with a spreadsheet that would make NASA proud.  His attention to detail really paid off, ensuring that all logistics went flawlessly along the Connecticut shoreline from Milford (Nicole’s house) to New Haven (where Drew got ready in the Westville neighborhood) to Branford (St. Mary’s Church) to Groton (the reception at the Branford House).

Nicole and Drew seem perfectly matched…except when it comes to baseball: while she showed her pride undercover with Yankees boxers, he sported “Go Mets” on the soles of his shoes. (Shameless plug—check out Jane’s award winning Mets pictures in the blog article below).

After very funny and loving toasts, there was some killer dancing under the tent on the south side of the Branford House.  Especially noteworthy was the amazing dancing by Drew’s Dad and Nicole!

We also had the pleasure of meeting Penny from Matthew’s Catering (she’s Matthew’s mom), who also helped with wedding day details.

Nicole and Drew (and Bob!), thanks very much for having us photograph your wedding!
