EDA & ERMIR: MARRIED | CT WEDDINGS | CT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER » Nikki Nicole Photo: New Orleans and Connecticut

It was a sunny day with rain in the forecast… all i could think about was please hold off it’s an outdoor wedding! And it did!

Married: Eda & Ermir

I had the utmost pleasure on May 31 to be a part of an amazing wedding! It was my first Albanian wedding and it totally rocked my world! Now I have shot lots of Greek and Turkish weddings but this was my FIRST Albanian and I could of not been more excited!

I started the day out with the guys…. I have been totally digging shooting the guys! Check out the shoes!

Before I headed off to see Eda and the girls the guys wanted to just have some fun! And I don’t blame them!

After that I caught up with Eda and the girls…..

Her details were amazing!

And not only did Eda look amazing but I thought it was so sweet that her dad wanted to be a part of EVERYTHING!

He even helped her get dressed … Check it out! I also could not stop laughing (in a good way) at her father. He was so cute, at one point at the house he whipped out his Polaroid camera that looked like it came from the 80s and started taking Polaroids of Eda!

It is an Albanian tradition for the Groom to come over to the Bride’s parents house and greet the family. All the groomsmen come over and enter into the house first. After kissing the bride (on the cheek) the groom enters and they have a moment. So fast forward we got to do photos before the ceremony! YEAH!!!!!!

We went to Southford Falls on our way to the Fox Hill Inn. There is an amazing covered bridge….

and rocks and paths .. OH MY!

after photos we headed to the ceremony!

Now something happened that was a first for me ever! Each time a bridesmaid or groomsmen came down the aisle everyone clapped. I thought it was so lovely that the guests recognized each person in the bridal party and made them feel just as important as the bride and groom!
