Kara and Kyle’s Wedding at the Lake of Isles in North Stonington CT

Kara and Kyle were married over Labor Day weekend in very fun fashion at the Lake of Isles in North Stonington, Connecticut.  They got ready at the MGM Grand Hotel at Foxwoods, with the ceremony at the Cathedral of St. Patrick a few miles away in Norwich where, fittingly, they had a bagpiper playing outside the church.

There were many nice touches…Kara’s dad is an artist and hand made the metal floral arrangement holders, each one unique, while Kara’s step-father sang and played the organ for Kara and Kyle’s first dance.  And guests were invited to sign several bottles of wine and Port for Kara and Kyle to savor at their first, fifth, tenth, twenty-fifth and fiftieth anniversaries.

Kara and Kyle are diehard Jets fans (see their engagement shoot from a few months back with matching jerseys) and named their reception tables after famous Jets players…and as for cakes, it was all green and white, and Kyle got a NY Jets helmet groom’s cake as well.

The cocktail hour was held on the deck overlooking the lake, which felt like a big backyard party.  Those Guys Band were a great choice, playing everything from The Psychedelic Furs to The Cure to Simon and Garfunkel to Dexy’s Midnight
Runners….not to mention a big block of Duran Duran.  Ahh…80s heaven.

OK, we have to mention the shoes…Kara wore the cool royal blue Manolo Blahnik pumps worn by Carrie in the movie Sex and the City.

It was nice to be back at the Lake of Isles and to see Sheila and Bethany again, where we really notice the professionalism and hustle of all the service staff.

As Kyle would say, thanks Babe (and thank you Kyle) for having us photograph your wedding!
