Summertime is here!  Let’s hit the beach down on the Connecticut Shore, at the Old Lyme Beach Club where last September Katrina and Charles tied the knot.  Their relaxed and stylish wedding was recently featured in Style Me Pretty Connecticut.  I remember smiling hearing Led Zeppelin’s Over the Hills and Far Away welcoming Katrina down the aisle with her dad…hitting the perfect note for this eclectic couple.  As always it was fun working beside our good friend Lindsay Mastroianni of Sixpence for Your Shoe event planners who was many months pregnant during the wedding!  The 1940s Old Lyme Beach Club–with its cornflower blue doors and weathered cedar shakes–is a jewel on the Connecticut Shore, looking perfect decked out with Azalea Floral Design’s flowers and La Tavola linens.

Winvian Wedding Litchfield CT : Jackie and Jamie!

In our era of dashed off emails and countless texts, the hand written note carries that much more meaning.  Jackie and Jamie–who were married two weeks ago at Winvian in Litchfield County–not only penned notes to each other for their first look, but also wrote personalized letters to their guests to greet them at their tables.

Their outdoor wedding and cocktail party on the sunny Winvian lawn had that reunion feel with several groups of school friends and family from Switzerland.  Soft pastel flowers from Litchfield’s Sarah Worden Natural Design complemented the country vibe, and into the night, the Hank Lane band performed upbeat dance music.

It was fun time shooting alongside our video friend Jim Alteri who was filming Jackie and Jamie’s day.  Winvian’s a wonderful retreat for urbanites looking for a little nature–as we left I saw the faintest sign of the Milky Way–not bad only 100 miles from NYC.

Congratulations Jackie and Jamie (and welcome back from your honeymoon)!!  Thanks so much for having us capture your day…to view many more photos please click here.

Keeler Tavern Museum Wedding: Grace and Roger!

We had a wonderful time photographing Grace and Roger’s Keeler Tavern Museum wedding in Ridgefield, Connecticut a few weeks back.  Grace wore a beautiful Monique L’Huillier white dress and Roger sported Armani.  They incorporated a variety of Chinese details, including handmade (by Grace) origami cranes, paper hearts and strands of paper flowers.  Grace’s parents sent their love and good wishes from China via a video played at the reception.  A relaxing and intimate Connecticut garden party wedding!
