The Barns at Wesleyan Hills Wedding | Middletown Connecticut

Blush and White Wedding at The Barns in MIddletown, Connecticut | Connecticut Wedding Group

To say that Jenn + Dave’s wedding was one of my favorites would be an understatement! Not only are they two of the kindest and genuine people I have ever met, but Jenn adores the light and airy color palate, rustic charm and chose the coolest vendors imaginable! The whole day was organized to perfection, but helllooooo mac and cheese bar (that the staff at The Barns were sure that my second shooter Christina and I got a serving of at the time of day when we’re about to drop from starvation!) and that magnificent bistro wall and donut bar!

Jenn + Dave were ready to have a joyous celebration with their family and friends. Jewish traditions were worked into their ceremony including Kipa’s for all, the breaking of the glass at the end of the ceremony and of course The Horah! And boy was everyone ready to dance, the dance floor was packed all night!

I couldn’t have been more thrilled to celebrate this beautiful day with this awesome couple. Congratulations Jenn + Dave, wishing you a lifetime of JOY!

Glastonbury Country Club Wedding | Abba + Christian

Glastonbury Country Club Connecticut wedding with soft greens and whites

It was a warm summer Saturday in July, with dangerous thunderstorms predicted across most of Connecticut. It had already rained a little on our way to Glastonbury, and everyone was a little worried storms would ruin the gorgeous outdoor set up in front of the gazebo. But just before the ceremony was about to start, the chairs were dried and the clouds loomed further away. As much as I love a good first look, Christian’s reaction to Abba walking down the aisle and seeing her for the first time in her wedding gown was just PRICELESS! What love was in the air!

Right after the touching ceremony, clouds coming in hot, we got right through requested family formals and breezed through some fun couples portraits. As soon as we got them inside and started setting up for the grand entrance and dancing, the skies lit up and rain poured down for hours through the giant floor to ceiling windows of the reception room. What a show, and what luck it held off for all of the outdoors celebrations!

Congratulations Abba and Christian! I wish you a lifetime of happiness (and whisky shots)!

They basically got each other the SAME wedding gift!
