Hill-Stead Museum Wedding Farmington CT: Jennifer and Eric!
The Hill-Stead Museum–a little slice of Vermont set in the Hartford suburbs–was the site of Jennifer and Eric’s wedding in late summer. Jennifer met Eric in the Hill-Stead sunken garden, wearing her Pronovias dress with flowers from Azalea Floral Design. We were all thrilled the rain held off for the first look and portraits around the beautiful property. As the rain hit, we headed to the fun and festive Sperry Tents for their wedding ceremony, a great meal and fun dancing. So nice seeing Jessi and Chris and Jessi’s family, whose wedding we photographed last summer…and we really enjoyed getting to know Jen’s mom, Alice too! The wedding was planned by our good friends Lindsay and Talia from Sixpence for your Shoe event planners, with delicious catering from Debbie Grazier at Avon’s Riverhouse Catering. We always love photographing at the Hill-Stead with its local history…and we are always discovering new backgrounds for photos…who knew that vintage wallpaper was upstairs!
Thanks Jennifer and Eric for having us document your day! To see many more photos please click here…..

Hill-Stead Museum and Farmington Gardens Wedding: Jessi and Chris!
A big parabéns for Jessi and Chris whose later summer wedding at Farmington Gardens had all the warmth of a big Portuguese celebration! We first photographed at the gorgeous grounds of the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington CT with its sunken garden and meadows. Then it was across the the Farmington River, where Mary Coburn–the Justice of the Peace with the world’s sunniest personality–officiated while our friend Kathy Schiano from Millennium Music played classical music with her trio.
Even Jessi and Chris’s golden retriever Cody participated in the ceremony…and finished off a jar of Jif in the process! At the reception very funny and loving speeches preceded the twirling Portuguese circle wedding dance, with Chris and Jessi–beautiful in her Miaella dress–dancing with relatives and friends.
Jessi and Chris (and Teresa!), muito obrigado!! Hope you had a great time in the Azores! To view many more photos please click here…

Hill-Stead Museum Rehearsal Dinner: Alex & Breck
Alex and Breck had a beautiful night at The Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington CT for their rehearsal dinner a few weeks ago despite the threat of rain all week! Breck’s family brought a bit of the South to New England making for a warm, relaxed event between two families who were thrilled with their children’s choices in partners. We always love hearing toasts and speeches about the couple from their family & friends–a real highlight of the night. Congratulations Alex and Breck and thank you to Breck’s mom, Jane…it was such a pleasure meeting and working with you!
