Just got some advance copies of Brides Connecticut Magazine Fall / Winter 2010 (seems strange to write that given the heatwave this week…) where you can check out Amanda and Matt’s 2009 tent wedding in Fairfield.  I think we’ve had more interest in the china from Party Rental Ltd. than any other detail we’ve ever posted!

Great to see the other vendors highlighted too:  A Romona Keveza gown from The Plumed Serpent Bridal, delicious catering by Plum Pure Foods & Catering, the clear-ceiling tent from Northeast Tent Productions and the amazing flowers from KD&J Botanica.

In the same issue we also were interviewed for an article on best places for portraits…and were happy to see our recommendation of The Florence Griswold Museum Old Lyme included along with a photo of Megan and Hugh in the gardens.

We had a great time last Saturday photographing Catherine and Chris’s fun and festive wedding at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in Wellesley MA.  The MHS is located right near the Boston Marathon route and, this being Boston, is the oldest horticultural society in the US.

Catherine and Chris have infectious smiles…you can clearly see they how they complement one another and fit together as a couple.  In fact, Catherine’s sister Caroline gave a hilarious toast comparing their personalities using the Myers-Briggs profiles (ESFJ vs. INFP if memory serves)….very funny!

Jane was in love with Catherine’s Amsale Tyler dress–you may have seen it…it was the dress from the movie “The Hangover”!  It was nice working with Heather from Simply Inviting Weddings, their wedding planner.  Jennifer Cahill of The Tangled Web Floral Design provided the beautiful flowers and Greg Hodges of 5 Star Events did a great job as their DJ.

Catherine and Chris, thanks very much for having us document your day…enjoy your honeymoon!!

We traveled up to Connecticut’s “Quiet Corner” for Meghan and Brendan’s beautiful outdoor wedding at the Lord Thompson Manor, the picture-perfect country estate in Thompson CT.

The Inn has all the right details for creating the perfect atmosphere for their wedding…from the clubby billiard room to the intimate dining rooms…and the huge grounds with several stone fireplaces that draw people outside.  The food really stands out too…not surprising, their chefs are James Beard Foundation award winners.

Meghan and Brendan’s gorgeous flowers were provided by Laurie Lemek, mother of Meghan’s Maid of Honor, Danielle.  And Alyce Bertz, Gary Bertz and their daughter Lilly Bertz performed the music during the ceremony and cocktail hour…very nice.

We love the song Daughter that was Meghan’s choice for her dance with her dad.  And a dance surprise kicked off late night for Brendan (Yankees fan) and Meghan (Red Sox Nation) when their friends & family did a Yankees vs. Sox dance-off to the Cupid Shuffle.  As Sebbie, our 6 year old writes, “Red Sox rule, Yankeys drule, Yankeys go to baby school.” (sic)…or maybe the other way around : }

Meghan and Brendan, thanks so much for having us photograph your wonderful wedding!  And buon viaggio…enjoy Italy!
