Vanessa and Brandon’s Wedding at the Union League Cafe in New Haven CT!
Vanessa and Brandon met several years ago in New Haven as Yale undergrads and returned to the Elm City for their warm and intimate wedding at the Union League Cafe last weekend. We also love the Union League Cafe…it’s a nice choice for great French brasserie food and that clubby, restaurant atmosphere. Vanessa and Brandon have such supportive and loving families—Vanessa’s father spoke touchingly to his daughter and the congregation about her life as he handed her to Brandon to start the ceremony. As they began their vows, the torrential rains ceased and the sun came out for the rest of the day allowing us to tuck into the Yale campus to photograph the wedding party and family.
The Sidewinders, a great group of jazz musicians from NYC, were a huge hit–they fit an intimate restaurant wedding perfectly…loved their Stevie Wonder saxophone sound! Definitely check them out–they run the gamut from background cocktail music to high energy dance. Have to mention also the nice flowers from A Floral Affair from Guilford and beautiful cake from Creative Cakes by Donna.
Vanessa and Brandon, so nice to photograph your wedding! Thanks and congratulations!! To view more photos click here or below where it says “Click to view more photos…”

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!!
