It was so nice to meet Rachel and Mike who journeyed some 5000 miles from Honolulu to Rachel’s hometown of Simsbury, Connecticut for a warm homecoming wedding at The Riverview last Saturday.

Before the ceremony we ventured to the picturesque Old Drake Hill Bridge, which volunteers keep refreshed with colorful flowers all season long, for family portraits.  Speaking of flowers, Rachel’s father owns Willows of Avon florist and provided the lovely flowers for the day.

There was a little French spoke during the reception for the many Quebecois and Ontarians in attendance.  The acoustic duo who played during the ceremony were awesome–beautiful voices, really added a lot to the ceremony.  The great band, Li’nard’s Many Moods band from NYC, came recommended by Rachel’s brother Rob (who’s also a New York musician).  Li’nard’s also play at Club Groove in the West Village–we’ll check them out during Photoplus Expo in October!   And it was really nice meeting Leslie Felner, the coordinator of The Riverview.

Rachel and Mike, thanks very much for having us photograph your day!!
