A big parabéns for Jessi and Chris whose later summer wedding at Farmington Gardens had all the warmth of a big Portuguese celebration!  We first photographed at the gorgeous grounds of the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington CT with its sunken garden and meadows.  Then it was across the the Farmington River, where Mary Coburn–the Justice of the Peace with the world’s sunniest personality–officiated while our friend Kathy Schiano from Millennium Music played classical music with her trio.

Even Jessi and Chris’s golden retriever Cody participated in the ceremony…and finished off a jar of Jif in the process!  At the reception very funny and loving speeches preceded the twirling Portuguese circle wedding dance, with Chris and Jessi–beautiful in her Miaella dress–dancing with relatives and friends.

Jessi and Chris (and Teresa!), muito obrigado!!  Hope you had a great time in the Azores!  To view many more photos please click here…
