Sarah + Justin (Private Residence in Newtown, Connecticut)

Sarah has a smile in her voice. When I spoke with her for the first time, I knew she was smiling on the other end of the line. She's relaxed and laid back and spoke about the details of her wedding day as if it had already happened. As she describe the vision they had for the day, I was totally picturing it in my mind...the green rolling hills of Newtown, Connecticut with a meadow/open field nearby. There would be an outdoor ceremony with the reception held in a barn on the property and various antique vehicles strewn about for decoration. Crystal chandeliers would hang from the beams of the rustic structure while a tire swing and iron rooster would hang outside.

The day I met Sarah and Justin in person for the first time, the smile I had pictured in my head was right there in front of me and right away I knew this couple was special. They have a connection that anyone can see. Something about the way they look at each other and smile. Or just gently hold hands as they walk along. It's a beautiful thing to see and I feel so luck to work with couples like this on their wedding day. When I arrived on the property for the big day...it was exactly as I had picture...but better. Every details was unique and all of it reflected Sarah's cool and eclectic style.

My favorite part of the day was the ceremony and those sweet moments following shortly after. Sarah and Justin's love and that connection was evident to all who witnessed their union and seeing these two joined in marriage was truly an honor photograph and be a part of.

Congratulations to an amazing couple. It has truly been a wonderful experience working with you and your families. I wish you both a future full of happiness, health and many years of memories together.
