Connecticut Wedding Photographer | Belle Haven Club | Rory & Amanda

Last year, I photographed Rory & Amanda's beautiful Greenwich, Connecticut wedding at the Belle Haven Club for Jennifer Davis Photography (Go to Jennifer's blog to view the slideshow with more images from their day!).  Not only is the couple gorgeous (and very much in love!), but the details they chose were really cute and personal too!  Recently their wedding was also featured as the Wedding of the Day on The Wedding Channel.  Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Connecticut Wedding Photographer | The Society Room | Leigh & Steve

Leigh & Steve were married on a beautiful, yet chilly, fall day at The Society Room in Hartford, Connecticut.  Leigh & Steve are such an adorable couple - I could have spent all day just photographing their portraits!  I am in love with Leigh's wedding dress - an Oscar De La Renta creation, complete with pockets.  She matched it up with a head piece from The Savage Cabbage to create a stunning look!  Many many thanks to my amazing second shooter, Jenny!!

Connecticut Wedding Photographer | Bush Holley House | Ryan & Elizabeth

Ryan & Elizabeth were married at the Bush Holley House in Cos Cob, Connecticut last weekend.  Despite the rain, their day was beautiful and full of character.  Somehow Ryan summoned the weather Gods in the middle of the ceremony - as he said "I do" a powerful crash of thunder sounded.  Everyone in the room laughed and clapped and we didn't hear a bit of thunder the rest of the day!  Following the ceremony, and a little dancing, they held an intimate dinner at Hosteria Mazzei in Port Chester, NY.   Congratulations Ryan & Elizabeth!

Connecticut Wedding | Waveny House | Tara & Conor

Tara & Conor were married at Saint Aloysius Church with their reception following at the Waveny House in New Canaan, Connecticut.  This was a special wedding for me.  Tara is my sister, Stephanie's, best friend, whom she met in college.  Stephanie was the maid of honor and I knew all the bridesmaids, and a lot of Tara's side of the family since I shot her bridal shower in May.  The ceremony was beautiful, despite Conor giving everyone a scare when he nearly passed out on the alter.  After a quick rest, the loosening of his tie, and some much needed water, he bounced right back!  I had a blast photographing Tara & Conor's day and it was amazing to see friends so happy and truly in love. 

Thanks so much to my super talented second shooter, Jordan Van Aken, and my assistant, Hayley Schelsinger!
