Abby was a referral from her sister, a former co-worker of mine, so it was nice to know part of the wedding party. My assistant Melissa and I started out the wedding day at Abby’s parents home in Webster, MA with the bridal preparation after the girls got back from getting their hair and makeup done at Orange Salon. Abby and Travis were married at the All Saints Church in Worcester, MA. The church had a really cute private courtyard where we photographed most of the family formals. Terry and her assistant planner Nikki, of Something Borrowed, Something New Events did a wonderful job as wedding coordinators for this well thought out backyard wedding. Their wonderful wedding coordinating abilities kept the wedding running smoothly and on time. It was the first time working with a wedding planner and it was a positive experience. After the church wedding ceremony we headed off to a local farm down the street from the Groom’s parents home (where the reception was being held) in Thompson, CT to take some fun photographs of the bridal party before heading over to the backyard wedding reception. Tents for rent provided the tent for the reception and some really cool red, white and blue globe chandeliers to fit in with the red, white and blue wedding colors. Flying Rhino Restaurant catered the meal. The food was awesome. DJ Tony Caramello kept the party going well into the evening. Some of the other wedding vendors that worked on this wedding are: Florist; Louisa, Cake; Erin Perry from Chocolate Rose, Videographer; Alex Deciccio, Limo; A Limo Affair. I had SO MANY favorite images from this wedding that it was hard to narrow it down to just a few, this is probably the most images (55) I have posted from any one wedding, I think I should put them in a slideshow (my next project, as well as a sample album). I am also trying my hand at some blog collages which I incorporated many of the wedding detail photographs.
The wedding videographer provided these cute little video cameras to capture the bridal party’s view of the wedding day, what a great idea! The bridesmaids had such a timeless look to them.
Just Love the red shoes!
The ring bearer looks so thrilled with his job.
Abby’s Mother walked her down the aisle.
Abby surprised her mom with a slideshow of images of them growing up. It was a nice personal touch, that brought some tears.
Here is a blog collage of some images of the red, white and blue beach themed details from the wedding reception. Abby and Travis made a donation in lieu of favors to NECOPS (New England Concerns of Police Survivors.) This seems to be a trend with the last few of my weddings that I have photographed. It is such a great idea.
I love a good cake smashing! It doesn’t happen too often, but when it does, it makes for some fun photographs.
Congratulations!
