Natalie and Richard celebrated their 10-10-10 wedding in style at the Saybrook Point Inn in Old Saybrook CT.  They were inseparable, dancing all night and really enjoying their day.  They’ve got wonderful families with the cutest grandmothers ever decked out in red and blue…and later in the night Natalie surprised one grandmother with a cake for her 90th birthday!

The Saybrook Point Inn has an intimate European feel—perfect for a wedding or a getaway weekend.  Visiting Old Saybrook is like taking a trip to Martha’s Vineyard–even in October it held on to summer with the fishermen on the dock, boats in the harbor and lots of sunshine.  Back in the day this is where the Terra Mar Hotel was located, a favorite of Sinatra’s when he was in Connecticut–a very Mad Men time and place.  It was apropos then that John from Powerstation played a whole lot of mid-century classics including Sinatra and Jimmy Roselli.  Have to also mention the beautiful flowers from the Floral Affair in Guilford CT as well.

Natalie and Richard, congratulations!!  Thanks so much for having us photograph your wedding!

As I write this post with a cold rain coming down, it’s so nice to look back at Katie and Phil’s beautiful summery wedding at the Webb Barn in Wethersfield, Connecticut from only a few weeks ago.

Katie got ready at the classic Silas W. Robbins House Ben and Breakfast nearby, a gorgeous backdrop for her getting ready pics.  The Webb Barn was decorated beautifully with hanging lights and silvery mirrors in a multitude of shapes.  The Webb Barn is really distinctive with its barn board and gardens and how it blends outdoors and indoors so well…you can see what attracted these two architects to get married here.  And what better to serve at a New England summer wedding than a lobster bake complete with littlenecks, andouille sausage and corn on the cob, all courtesy of A Perfect Thyme Gourmet Caterers.  Croquet and bocce were on tap out on the lawn amidst the mason jars with flowers (from Lane and Lenge-Hi Bob!) and the soft light all around was perfect for photographs.

Really nice people with close-knit, loving families.  Katie and Phil, hope you had a great honeymoon in Italy…thanks so much for having us photograph your wedding!!

Jane and I are still in an Empire State of Mind after Christina and Trevor’s very festive and fun seaside wedding at the Larchmont Yacht Club (LYC) in Westchester County NY a few weeks back.   The LYC is the perfect place for a summer wedding and the Top-Sider NOOD Regatta held the same weekend added to the nautical party atmosphere.

Christina got ready and into her beautiful Oscar de la Renta dress at her parents’ home in Stamford while Trevor and the groomsmen readied themselves at the The Delamar hotel on Greenwich Harbor.  Their ceremony was held at the Church of St. Augustine in Larchmont, then it was a short stroll to the LYC, where it was so nice to work with John Wall, the Banquet Manager.  Christina gave her bridesmaids unique jewelry from Lulu Frost (Lisa Salzer, the designer, attended as well).   And The Flower Bar in Larchmont provided the beautiful flowers for the day.

OK…back to Empire State of Mind.  Later in the night, Trevor got on stage and belted out Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys with the Sultans of Swing, who we’ve met at weddings on Martha’s Vineyard.  That dance floor pulsated with a huge crowd dancing and singing…it was awesome…check out the photos!  Great anthem for NYC weddings.

Christina and Trevor left Larchmont but continued sailing on their honeymoon in Croatia…where I’m sure they’ve got Jay-Z on the karaoke machine somewhere in Dubrovnik or Split : }

Thanks Christina and Trevor for having us photograph your day!!
