Leslie and Brian’s Wedding at the Fairfield Hunt Club in Westport, CT
It was such a pleasure to get to know Brian and Leslie and meet all of their wonderful friends and family – photographers and travelers included!
Brian and Leslie got married at Trinity Episcopal church in Southport, CT:
The ladies all had unique dresses in navy and custom hats which were lovely to photograph!
Brian and Leslie decided to see each other before the wedding:
We did a 5-minute run to the waterfront in Southport and I'm so glad we fit it in for a special few moments and pictures pre-wedding:
We had the pleasure of meeting Brian's sister, Abbie Flynn, who is a great wedding photojournalist out of Houston and I hope we will meet again!
The reception was held at the Fairfield Hunt Club in Westport, CT. The flowers were amazing and were done by Elegant Effects in Floral Design:
The hats came off as the dancing started:
The band was Eight To The Bar and there were some amazing swing dancers including Leslie's sister…I have never seen a couple dance so fast:
The Hunt Club has a cool vintage bar in the back:
Who did that…
Thanks so much for having us and thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with us…we loved capturing and being a part of your story!

Susan and Shannon’s Wedding at the Hartford Golf Club in West Hartford
There was so much happiness and love at this wedding…we were so honored to be there . Susan got ready at her childhood home in West Hartford with her sisters, her mom and family. I loved seeing the bedroom she grew up in…the bed was so small and it seemed so sweet that she slept in it the night before her wedding.
I loved how Susan's eyes filled with light in this picture:
The dogs got to experience at least part of the day! 🙂
Shannon and his dog:
Mike shot Shannon's family at his home where he got ready:
The ceremony and reception were at the Hartford Golf Club in West Hartford:
Shannon wanted to get married on the 18th hole and having it happen at sunset was beautiful light:
I love this shot that Mike took of Susan stepping out to walk down the aisle…
The flowers by The Flower District in Glastonbury were so beautifully done and fresh that I kept smelling them as I walked around. The tables were done in silver.
Shannon's father gave the blessing:
Thank you for having us…
