Julie and Brian’s Wedding at The Candlewood Inn in Brookfield CT!
Just before Julie and Brian’s wedding last weekend a mahogany hulled Chris-Craft swept by the cove at The Candlewood Inn in Brookfield CT where they were about to be married, making quite a nice scene-setter for their beautiful outdoor ceremony. The rain even held off for them, allowing for some fun on the the dock with the bridal party (girls in maroon, guys in gray & pink…nice flowers by Dean Street Greenery) before the party moved inside. After some funny toasts by their family, the dancing began. Brian’s mom and her friends celebrated the night with “The Society”, a nice Zinfandel and Barbera blend California wine that they make themselves.
Julie and Brian, have a fantastic honeymoon and have a sip of raki for us in Istanbul…congratulations!!

Chelsea and Matt’s Wedding at The Riverview in Simsbury CT!
When you’re a new parent everyone tells you to savor the days with your kids because it all passes so fast. You take the advice but for several years it doesn’t seem to fly by at all….but eventually it does. Well, at Chelsea and Matt’s wonderful wedding in July at The Riverview in Simsbury CT, Chelsea’s father actually calculated the number of days from her birth until her wedding day (9743) and reminisced with his friends while enjoying his vintage “It’s a Girl” cigars. A very fun wedding with such positive people.
And what a sweet ride for their day…Chelsea’s dad’s ’55 Chevy Bel-Air…the ultimate photo prop! There were lots of beautiful pastel flowers from Innovative Floral & Events Designs complementing the tables with names of places and things holding special meaning for Chelsea and Matt–we love the Gris banjo night too! (we photographed their engagement session down in Essex as well).
Chelsea and Matt, it was really nice to meet your family and friends and photograph your day…congratulations!!

Caity and Matt’s Wedding at the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington CT!
Caity and Matt’s stylish wedding all took place in the beautiful square mile of Main Street in Farmington, Connecticut. With her father, Caity rode from her home in a horse drawn carriage past Miss Porter’s, her alma mater, to St. Patrick’s Church. Caity looked amazing in her Angel Sanchez dress (let’s hear it for asymmetrical dresses!) which flowed over her shoulder and down the back…very cool. And Matt looked great in his Zegna tux with his groomsmen wearing pink Vineyard Vines bowties.
Then the celebration began just down the road at the Hill-Stead Museum, with the cocktail party in the sun-drenched sunken garden. Their parasols saw brief use as umbrellas during a shower as family and friends headed to the tent for dinner. Wonderful heartfelt speeches followed, and the partying ensued. The abundant colorful floral arrangements by Dragonfly Event made the Sperry Tent burst with color while the band Eight to the Bar suited the high energy dancing to a tee. We must point out the very nice save-the-dates, invitations and custom menus from the Lettres Stationery of Distinction of Avon.
At the end of the night we followed the crew over to the after party at nearby Country Club of Farmington where the dancing and partying continued. Hats off to our friends Lindsay and Talia at Sixpence for Your Shoe for planning this beautiful event and great seeing our friend Courtney who oversees events at the Hill-Stead!
Caity and Matt, congratulations!! It was a pleasure meeting your family and friends…thanks for having us photograph your wonderful wedding!!
