Julia and Jared’s Litchfield County Garden Party Wedding on Style Me Pretty!
What a way to bring on the green today with a gorgeous Style Me Pretty feature of Julia and Jared’s Connecticut country wedding! Julia and Jared were married last May at her family’s home in Litchfield CT with an outdoor ceremony and tented reception set in the rolling hills of northwest Connecticut. Their wedding brought together that perfect blend of city style and country chic (the tuxes and dinner jackets looked great in the pastoral setting). With all the snow and rain last year the hay on the fields on their property was well over knee-high–Julia’s father almost had them cut for their wedding—we’re glad he left them high because the grassy texture made a beautiful backdrop for photos!
The prettiest pastel flowers from Earth Blossoms in Harwinton decorated the bouquets, chuppah and all around–really outstanding. And we had the opportunity to worked alongside Mike from Buzz Media Company, who filmed their wedding.
Julia and Jared, enjoy this spring and happy anniversary this May! For some more photos of their wedding, here’s a link to Julia and Jared’s wedding blogpost as well…enjoy!

Essex CT Sperry Tent Wedding Album of Caitlin and Greg!
We just got back from a photographers’ convention in New Orleans and see that winter has arrived (finally) in Connecticut. Perfect timing for some images of summer!…here’s a peek into Caitlin and Greg’s beautiful early September wedding we photographed back in 2010 in Essex CT. Loved their wedding at their home in Essex with the ceremony in the front yard and the reception in the Sperry Tent in their backyard. We had the pleasure of working with Lauren and Kristin from Bellafare, the boutique event & wedding planning co. from NYC, and this wedding featured gorgeous flowers and decor from Lewis Miller Design. Greg and Kaitlin’s album is the archival, handmade Queensberry 10×14 “Duo” album with a white leather cover. Duo albums combine matted and flush-mount photos into one album for a classic, creative look. Here are some photos of their album. More album sneak peeks coming on our blog shortly…

Allison Pataki and David Levy’s Wedding in Hudson Valley NY!
Alli and Dave’s wedding weekend, part deux…their wedding in the Hudson Highlands of New York! Beautiful, intimate and tons of fun, their wedding kicked off with Alli’s dapper nephew (as ringbearer) carrying the “Here Comes the Bride” sign at Our Lady of Loretto Church in Cold Spring. During the Mass Dave’s brother Jonathan played guitar, singing a hauntingly beautiful version of “Here I am, Lord”. After the ceremony the crowd waited for Alli and Dave to emerge from the church…the doors burst open and a beaming Alli and Dave descended through the flurry of ivory petals…what a way to start your life together!
Onto their reception in Alli’s parents’ beautiful home in Garrison, beginning with colorful cocktails, such as blackberry gin fizz, on the lawn. With the sun setting family and friends gathered in the awesomely decorated tent from Stamford Tent, where LMD floral created the most magical and colorful world filled with trees, texture and abundant flowers– zinnias, dahlias and roses among others. Tables names reflected the wild and mystical feel with such places from literature as Lothlorien from The Lord of the Rings, and all the details–lanterns, birch bark, rose hips, figs, pears and Chinese blue vases–looked perfect against the brilliant scarlet runners. Matching this look was the outstanding cuisine from Main Course Marketplace & Catering right in the Hudson Valley.
The intimacy and humor of the night was reflected in the wonderful toasts by the Governor, Dave’s brother, Andrew, and Alli’s sister, Emily. Their talented friends sang a hymn and Dave’s brother Jonathan was back on guitar, playing a song he wrote for Alli and Dave’s first dance. Then the partying kicked in with some serious dancing to the excellent East Coast band which included classic 80s music, and to top it off all the Yale alumni gathered to sing a rousing Bull Dog! Bull Dog! Such a great wedding! It was a pleasure working with Elizabeth Allen, the consummate event planner, and nice working side by side with the folks from Films by Francesco.
Thanks so much Alli and Dave for having us photograph your wedding weekend! We loved it!!
