It was a rainy, rainy day. Forecast: Rainy with a chance of clearing around 5pm. She sighed. She stood in front of the large windows looking out into the water praying for sun … or just no rain. She had a tear in her eye … and then paused. She looked back at her maid of honor … “It will stop don’t worry” says her MOH. She looks back outside … closes the shades and then pops open a bottle of champagne. “This is the way my Dad would of wanted it to be” …. she says…..
MARRIED: KATIE & CHARLIE
When I originally met Katie & Charlie they had plans for a small intimate wedding up in Maine. Well I strongly believe everything happens for a reason. About four months ago they cancelled Maine and relocated to Connecticut …. Jonathan Edwards Winery. And boy good thing they did … because the previous weekend in Maine the hurricane blew through and well … we might of been out to sea ….. Okay that is an exaggeration…..
We started out our day with Katie at a very sentimental place … The Steamboat Inn. This hotel is right in the heart of Mystic and such a personal place to get ready. Katie opted for a small intimate wedding with about 50 guests. Very personable. Oh and her flower girl…… well she might of stole part of the show just see…..
These next moments are just well priceless …… just look at Katie’s expressions….

I LOVE this photo of the flower girl getting her shoes on …..
When we arrived at Jonathan Edwards Winery it was misty and cool out…… oh and wet! But Katie put a smile on and said “Let’s do this outside …. I don’t care about the rain!” And so all bundled up in our rain gear and guests with umbrellas we had one of the most intimate, personable and tear jerking ceremonies this year yet.
I am amazed at Megan…. just look at the photos she captured on the left side … really captures the feeling on the ceremony with all the umbrellas….
The bridal party … just check out the flower girl … seriously … she reminds me of how my niece will be in a couple of years ..
Now it’s time for romantics ….. one of my favorite things about the winery is there are so many places to putts around … so many great nooks to photograph in …. and they even allow us to walk through the vineyard …. how awesome is that!
Intimate moments ……. only love makes these moments happen…..
Don’t you just love the vineyards??? I do……
Katie also had such great details … the dinner was very intimate in the wine cellar …. all light by candles ……
The amazing flowers were brought together by the wonderful Yumiko at Hanna Floral Design …… OUTSTANDING!!!
Lastly ….. right before we left … I swept off Katie and Charlie to the wine cellar for a end of the evening session … my FAVORITE of the night!
Katie & Charlie I hope you had a blast the rest of the evening at the casino … you deserved it!
