Molto simpatico–that’s what Hollen and Adam are–they just are a couple and complement each other so well.  This pair who’ve dated since the 10th grade were married outside at Adam’s grandmother’s home on Long Island Sound in Branford CT overlooking the village of Stony Creek.  That’s where some thirty years ago Adam’s parents were married (and his grandparents share the June 16 wedding date as well).  I can see a string of beautiful weddings here well into the future.

Beforehand Hollen and Adam shared a first sight at the Madison Beach Hotel and grabbed a few pics with their furry child, the loveable Yellow Lab Brody.  Brody figured big in this wedding, with Adam’s cool silver Lab cufflinks and the signature drink, Brody’s Breeze. As fellow Lab “parents” we totally understand!   Onto Branford, which was the ideal setting for a seaside wedding with a dock extending over the water offering views of the Thimble Islands and a Sperry Tent gracing the lawn.  Inside, the beyond gorgeous flowers from Blush Floral Design in soft pink, yellow and white decorated the tables named for their special places from Paris and London to Mt. Snow and Santorini.

Hollen and Adam looked great, with Hollen in her Modern Trousseau dress from White Dress by the Shore and make-up by Jennie Fresa.  Many cool details in grays and pinks from the parasols to all the beautiful paper–invitation, menus and programs–from Mr. Boddington’s Studio.  A perfect planning job by Kristin and Lauren of Bellafare (and Hollen and Adam too)–and so nice to see you again!

A Thyme To Cook catered the wedding in style and our fave filmmaker Mike from Buzz Media captured tons of footage for his film.

So nice to finally meet Hollen and Adam a few weeks back on a brilliant but blustery day down in Madison CT!    A great couple, Hollen and Adam have dated since high school and have that chemistry and ease between them that translates perfectly into photos.  We shot first at the new Madison Beach Hotel then over at Meigs Point in Hammonasset, where I (Mike) used to windsurf on days like this.  Who knew Hammo could look like the Northern California shore?  Loved the light that day.

Adam’s from Cheshire where I grew up and he and Hollen are getting married in Branford on the water at Adam’s grandmother’s house–a beautiful spot–in June.  Hollen and Adam are in good hands with their wedding planners Kristin and Lauren from Bellafare who we’ve worked with before (here’s link to Caitlin and Greg’s wedding from 2010).  And you should know that Hollen is a gift-guru and writes a cool blog with all kinds of gift advice…check out hollenpicked this holiday season!   Congrats Hollen and Adam…and Happy Holidays!!

Bellafare’s “Behind the Scenes” Wedding Video

What a great idea!  We loved this video that wedding planners, Kristin and Lauren from Bellafare put together showing what it takes to make a tented wedding happen!  We’ve really enjoyed working with Kristin and Lauren over the years…great taste and great personalities make their weddings really beautiful yet relaxed.  Here’s a look at a few favorites we’ve worked at together:  Hollen and Adam’s Wedding and Greg and Kaitlin’s Wedding, and check out the video below!  And we loved seeing two of our other favorites vendors we work with also involved in the video – Sperry Tents of course and Mike Cyr from Buzz Media who made the video and who we always recommend for his small footprint and great personality! Enjoy!
