Vanessa and Brandon met several years ago in New Haven as Yale undergrads and returned to the Elm City for their warm and intimate wedding at the Union League Cafe last weekend.  We also love the Union League Cafe…it’s a nice choice for great French brasserie food and that clubby, restaurant atmosphere.  Vanessa and Brandon have such supportive and loving families—Vanessa’s father spoke touchingly to his daughter and the congregation about her life as he handed her to Brandon to start the ceremony.  As they began their vows, the torrential rains ceased and the sun came out for the rest of the day allowing us to tuck into the Yale campus to photograph the wedding party and family.

The Sidewinders, a great group of jazz musicians from NYC, were a huge hit–they fit an intimate restaurant wedding perfectly…loved their Stevie Wonder saxophone sound!  Definitely check them out–they run the gamut from background cocktail music to high energy dance.  Have to mention also the nice flowers from A Floral Affair from Guilford and beautiful cake from Creative Cakes by Donna.

Vanessa and Brandon, so nice to photograph your wedding!  Thanks and congratulations!!  To view more photos click here or below where it says “Click to view more photos…”
