Christine’s bridal gown, shoes and flowers are the secondary pieces to her Gram’s angel pin. She was with them today.

I think Christine would have been running up the church steps regardless of the weather. I never saw either Chad or Christine without a grin, or a look of complete mischief all day. There were up for anything!

After the service at the lovely Park Congregational church we stepped outside a columned porch for some really quick formals; and then later across the street from the Seaman’s Inne for more. It was a wind tunnel! So much fun! They are so expressive I had a hard time not rolling at their antics.

The Seamen’s Inne does such a fine job of welcoming their guests, and tonight was no exception. Kim Aubin and her staff were excellent, and I was particularly impressed with the staff attached to Chris and Chad. Everything they needed was provided instantly.

But a party is nothing without the people; whether it was Chad’s men and new father in law roasting him hard, or the Mom’s getting into the table wines, dancing without a stop all night long. Rip Entertainment kept the dance floor packed all night–and Christine and her Mom didn’t get off once that I saw. Scott Dery from Worner Bros Video was a pleasure to work with-very aware of the photographer’s need to roam. I hope I didn’t walk thru the scene too many times. Kelly and I couldn’t get over how much fun the day was. So much laughter and love!

A deep thank you for letting us share your day.

Carolyn: Yes, we’re going to be married at Harkness Park on Wednesday 15th October

I was intriqued to say the least with a Wednesday wedding and it’s so cool that Carolyn and Adam had their first date on October 15 2006, on the beach at Harkness, got engaged on the same beach October 15th 2007, and now celebrated their marriage October 15 2008!

The Eolia mansion has to be one of the most magnificent venues on the East Coast, first class service and gardens that are immaculate.

With Carolyn and Adam so happy with their friends and family supporting them it was a beautiful fall wedding.

I Love Love LOVE Carolyn’s simple slippers! The cobalt blue shoes were just the right color to complement the simple orange bouquets the girls carried and just popped with color.

This one was a surprise–as Carolyn was dressing she walked by the glass table and her reflection was perfect!

A huge benefit of having the dressing, ceremony, and reception in one place is that there is no down time or travel time between sites.  Carolyn’s photography coverage was only 4 hours long,  but we were able to get the girls gettting primped, the guys formals with plenty of time. Carolyn and Adam chose too see each other prior to the ceremony which saved a lot of time, as we were able to get some formals done before the ceremony, as well as afterwards.

Dinner was held in one of the rooms off the main entry with a fabulous view onto the Long Island Sound.

Thank you so much for asking me to share your day.
