I love being able to photograph a couple for both the engagement and the wedding – it makes the wedding all that more relaxed! I first met Eugenia and Stephen back in March, and these two are just too darn cute, I want to hug them up and wrap them up in ribbon! They’re shy, but the moment I tell them to be loving to each other, they are naturals, awesomeness! Stephen’s sister-in-law, Vernee, introduced us. Vernee was one of my first clients, EVER, I took photos of her adorable daughter way, way back. Too bad the little one was not present at the wedding, I bet she’s all big now!
Eugenia and Stephen’s wedding was on a beautiful day at the end of summer. I’m loving, LOVING all the details and thoughts being put into it. I also highly coming back to the John H. Pierce House – last time I was there for another wedding I didn’t get to stick around for the end. All right, enough blabbing, on to the photos!
This was one of the first photos I took. I noticed these shoes literally when I walked in and fell in love. Eugenia wore these during the reception
I also can’t get enough of her dress. It’s a beautiful Maggie Sottero
Eugenia chose to get ready at a hotel, I’m loving the window light!
Their limo was pretty fabulous – provided them with a champagne toast post-ceremony =) And I don’t know how the driver did it, but he got Eugenia and Stephen to the reception site before I did even though I left earlier
Look at her smile! She is so happy
And they could not stop smiling at each other throughout the ceremony. Awwww
Big smiles all around right afterwards
We shot the formal portraits in delicious sunset light at the John H. Pierce House
Um. I love that red shed. That’s all
A creative wedding party as well!
Eugenia is Greek, so imagine my delight when they did a Greek dance! I love Eugenia’s Dad, he’s exactly as I’d have imagined him
During Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” I asked them to show their bling :D
These four fabulous people came all the way from London to be part of this wedding. They tore up the dance floor all night long! You guys rock!
Eugenia and Stephen surprised everyone with a dance in the middle… can you guess what it is?
Superman… OH!
Vernee rockin’ it out with the DJ, who was so fun! He also came at her recommendation. Vernee, you are a treasure trove of awesome connections =)
Some of the details… see how one of my engagement photos got used for the guest book!
Eugenia and Stephen, thank you for letting me be a part of your intimate day! It was an absolute joy witnessing your marriage, wishing you many years of love and romantic laughter!
I gotta rave about the many vendors who helped make this wedding happen as well. This was one of the smoothest weddings I’d been to. The catering was all vegetarian but boy was it delicious! The mini cala lilies in Eugenia’s bouquet take my breath away. And the personalized Hershey bars and the owls on their wedding invite… The DJ (who came up from NYC) kept the dance floor packed all night long even though the wedding itself was pretty small (~40 guests)… I kept dancing too! It’s true what they say, it’s in the details, and when the details mold together the effect is great!
