New Canaan CT Elegant Garden Party Wedding: Becca and James!
We loved Becca and James’ elegant garden party wedding from their abundant happiness and warm family and friends to the lovely setting in Becca’s parents’ home in New Canaan–there sure is something special about getting married in your very own backyard.
Bellafare created a beautiful event with top vendors including catering by the acclaimed chef Tim LaBant Catering (of the School House at Cannondale), gorgeous floral and decor by Dragonfly, and the lovely cake…from Lovely Cakes! The make-up from Face Time Beauty was perfect as were the beautiful invitations from Sugar Paper LA and paper from idoinvitations by Sue Coe Designs. Becca looked amazing in her Kelly Faetanini dress and we loved the bridesmaids’ dresses from Dessy Collection. To top it off it was a pleasure working alongside our good friend, filmmaker Mike Cyr, owner of Buzz Media.
A wonderful wedding…thank you Becca and James for having us photograph your day! To see many more photos please click here.

CT Backyard Wedding with Sperry Tent on the CT Shoreline
I’ve never laughed as hard at a wedding…there I was riding shotgun on the golf cart dash, practically in the bride’s lap, to capture fun images at this CT backyard wedding on the Connecticut shoreline. What a wonderful couple to photograph…contagiously fun and happy people and such a beautiful setting with their Sperry Tent on Long Island Sound!
The bride’s custom Modern Trousseau dress from The White Dress by the Shore fit her personality to a tee. Friends and family relaxed on the lawn with lobster rolls, steamed clams, and a risotto bar catered by Emily’s Catering. Great working with Rose Marie Belo who did the event planning in addition to the lighthouse themed paper via her company, Lettres Stationery from Avon, CT. Thrilled to see the maid-of-honor, Farrell, her husband Darius and their new baby again! We photographed their memorable wedding during Hurricane Irene. Beautiful floral by Farrell’s mom, Jodie, from Thistle Floral Design in Essex!
The entire day was casual and friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all their friends and family. Congratulations and thanks so much for having me capture your day!

Red Maple Vineyard Wedding: Ilana and Mike!
How about stepping back to a much warmer and prettier time…like last September at the Hudson Valley’s Red Maple Vineyard!
Before the public ceremony, in the loft of Red Maple Vineyard’s converted barn Ilana and Mike signed a beautiful wood-cut Ketubah that Ilana’s sister, Shira created, and their four parents offered some great advice on living life as a couple. I really enjoy photographing Ketubah ceremonies–that pause for reflection in a much more intimate setting before the larger, public celebration of your wedding is needed now more than ever.
Meanwhile back at the “other” wedding ceremony, guests made their way up the ridge high above the Hudson, where Ilana–looking stylish in her Pronovias dress–and Mike exchanged vows. From the rustic converted barn (decorated with photos from Ilana and Mike’s life) to the outdoor fireplace set in old barn’s stone foundation (where guests toasted marshmallows late at night) the vibe was perfect for relaxing and soaking in the last bit of summer. All nicely catered by Cornerstone Catering (who also cater Wainwright House in Rye NY).
Ilana and Mike, congratulations! Thanks so much for having us photograph your wedding! To see many more photos click here…
