Yay! Carolyn and Danny got married! It sure was the best way for me to open my wedding season! With a couple so cute and in love with each other, they made my day really easy! I had so much fun! A special thanks to Sara Code-Kroll and Joanne Vandal for their shooting awesomeness, support, and companionship throughout the entire day!
Here we go!
Carolyn got ready at Alta Moda Salon in Rocky Hill, CT. They were super sweet! Carolyn’s mom looks on…
After the salon we headed back to Carolyn’s childhood home so she could get dressed! I just have to say that these ladies know how to have a good time!!!! We laughed the whole time her dress was going on!
We all headed over to Hartford City Hall for a first look and the formal photos prior to the start of the ceremony. It just so happened that the day they got married was the day of the Hartford St. Patty’s Day Parade!! As much as we thought it might have been an issue, the day went off without a hitch – all except for the dude who smashed my passenger window and grabbed my GPS during a torrential rainstorm – but hey, that kind of stuff comes with the territory!!
I love this series below, I can still feel the excitement and hear Carolyn laughing as she walks up the stairs behind Danny – it was such a sweet moment!
Pure joy and emotion!
City Hall in Hartford, CT is just the most gorgeous place you can possibly shoot indoors in the Hartford area. It is just my absolute favorite place EVER!!!
I have had a lot of requests to see my bridal party shots, so I decided to post a bunch here. I like casual, not so stuffy poses where people look HAPPY!!!!
Then I kicked the bridal party out for a little one on one time with Carolyn and Danny on the bench!
Pretty little details!
HOLY GORGEOUSNESS!!!! WOOOOOHEEE!!!
Sara took these awesome portraits of Danny!
A little more bridal party action!
A little more one on one action!
And a little more bridal party action AGAIN!!!
I LOVE this photo Sara got with the guys right before the ceremony!
Also Sara’s shot! The good thing about working with multiple photographers is that we get views from the back and the front! I love this little one of Carolyn and her dad right before they walk down the aisle!
Joanne was perched up in the rafters waiting for everyone to walk down the aisle, I love her point of view here!
Love Carolyn’s happiness here!
The Society Room is such a beautiful place to have a wedding!!
Sara’s pretty little detail!
Everyone loves a reception! Myself included!
Because Carolyn and Danny were up for anything we went out in the rain at the end of the night! It really was an amazing way to finish a beautiful day!
xoxo,
Katie
