Brynne & Don’s First Look and Portraits

Loving this April wedding on Earth Day! Brynne and Don‘s first time seeing each other prior to the ceremony, allowed them to get photos with the most important dog in their life! If your furry friend is more like your fur baby, and if he’s not that far away from your wedding happenings, why not have him pose for some fun shots? These images were taken at Clark Chapel in Pomfret, CT.

Clark Chapel Ceremony

Totally loving the flowergirls admiring Brynne’s wedding dress!!!!!!

Brynne and Don had their ceremony inside the Clark Chapel in Pomfret, Connecticut. This castle-looking, ornate building is so close the Mansion at Bald Hill to have a ceremony there. Not only this, but it also provides another place to get some fun photos with your wedding party…best friends for life!

Spring Wedding Portraits at The Mansion at Bald Hill

After mingling with their wedding guests during cocktail hour, Don and Brynne stepped out into the courtyard at the Mansion at Bald Hill and took a stroll for some portraits during this amazing day. The Mansion at Bald is nestled in a forested hill in Woodstock, Connecticut, and has a wide open courtyard that just started to bloom with color.

Spring weddings are amazing, in that many trees are bursting with blooms, and nature feels alive and breathing! On this Earth Day, the environment certainly seemed alive. It was as if the trees were celebrating Brynne and Don’s union and love for eachother.

Bridal bouquet was created by Garden Gate Florist of Woodstock, CT, and Maggie Sottero wedding dress from Trink-et Shoppe in Danielson, CT.

Brynne & Don’s Reception at The Mansion at Bald Hill

Words can’t even begin to describe how awesome Brynne and Don’s dances were with eachother and family. I could seriously post every single reception photo because I absolutely love all the laughs, dancing, and great shots of people having a good time! Here are some of my TOP favorite photos of the reception.

I am totally in love with this shot of the groom leading his new bride to the dance floor! The look in Brynne’s eyes still says, “I DO”!

One of my favorite moments was seeing Don’s best friend asking everyone to raise their glasses if they can say “yes” to certain criteria! Like, when he said “raise your glass if Don with his truck has helped you move” so many people laughed and raised their glasses in appreciation! This kind of toast made for great laughs and tears! But moreover, it is so incredible to learn some of the ways that my clients have helped others, and to see crowds of people express tremendous gratitude and blessings!

Cheers!
