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

They are the talent!  Michelle and Jim (she on vocals, he on guitar) took center stage at their own wedding at West Hartford’s Pond House Cafe last month, playing Motown to kickoff  their reception off at West Hartford’s Pond House Cafe in August.  Their outdoor ceremony in flowery Elizabeth Park featured friends singing and playing George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord with Michelle in a beautiful one shoulder Amsale dress from The White Dress by the Shore and jewelry from Aquinnah.  The concert / wedding continued inside at the Pond House Cafe and Michelle came back for several encores later in the night to sing with Steve Wexler and The Top Shelf.  Total superstars!!

Rock on Michelle and Jim and thanks very much for having us photograph your day!!  To see many more photos please click here
