CT Wedding Photography: The Mansion at Bald Hill: Kelly & Michael

The July wedding of Kelly and Michael at The Mansion at Bald Hill in Woodstock, CT was truly STUNNING. The stylish modern vintage look to Kelly and Michael’s wedding was simply delightful and their personalties just plain sparkled! The Mansion is one of Connecticut’s best wedding and event venues, with gorgeous grounds, sunken gardens and awesome food… truly a perfect setting and day for this lovely couple! A big thanks to events coordinator Janet Waterman for always keeping the day flowing smoothly!

It was important to Kelly and Michael to also have their cats documented, and being a cat person, Rick totally loved that! Don’t miss Michael’s cufflinks in one of the getting ready photos.

CT Engagement Session: Laura & Jason: Elizabeth Park, Hartford

What could be better than photographing a beautiful couple in Elizabeth Park during the height of the rose season? Rick and I were there just a couple weeks ago with Laura and Jason and it was such a perfect day! Their wedding is coming up in September at Harkness State Park, another one of our favorite places for wedding photography in Connecticut. We are so looking forward to it… both Laura and Jason are from BIG families and we know there is going to be an amazing celebration for this incredibly sweet couple!

It was so gorgeous there, and you wouldn’t know it from these photos but packed with people! We did a lot of strategic strolling to avoid having a lot of other rose enthusiasts in the photos…lol!

This is why Elizabeth Park is a favorite place to go in mid June (peak bloom time)! What gorgeous backdrops for an engagement session!

Engagement Session: Paul & Michelle, Essex, CT

Rick and I had the pleasure of photographing Paul and Michelle in the beautiful river town of Essex, Connecticut last week. It was already pretty sunny so we stuck to the main street which provided ample shade coverage and lots of cool back drops. You know that feeling when you feel an instant connection to a couple? Paul and Michelle are like that! He’s a musician, she’s a poet, and right away we felt like spending the rest of the day with them! We loved the way they laughed and interacted, and can’t wait to shoot their August wedding!
