MARY & MATT | ST CLEMENTS CASTLE | CT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

He ran outside eager asking us if we needed any help. He was excited, anxious and so proud for this day to be the day he marrys his LOVE! He keeps asking if he can get dressed, when and where we are to capture moments. He paces around and around and around his mothers kitchen. Okay, it’s time to get dressed, I tell him. His eyes light up ….. his face full of joy …… and his hands starts to shake … and he can only think of her ………it is time to get ready to get married.

MARRIED: MARY & MATT

Something so special about Mary and Matt is their sense of family and the bond that ties them all together. Something very special to Mary was a napkin that Matt’s parents have kept since their wedding. Megan really hit this ring shot on the nose by incorporating it in.

While Megan is on details, I was hanging out with Matt, learking around corners and watching him with a watchful eye.

After sometime with Matt, we headed over to meet up with Mary and the girls… another amazing moment caught by Megan.

A relaxed portrait of Mary …. just before we head out to the ceremony..

Their ceremony was at St. Clement’s Castle, this venue is one of my FAVORITES!!!!! It is so fairytale, so Cinderella. The old castle turned into a wedding venue, the long driveway with the trees hanging down over the sides. As you drive up give you that sense as if you are in a far, far, away land. That you have left the present and have been swooped back into time of kings and queens. See for yourself! The ceremony site is just over looking the CT river, the perfect buttery lighting as she walks down the lawn to meet her future …..

Married!!!!

Some bridal party time ….. in the perfect setting of the gardens … c’mon!

As we walked back towards the castle…. the most amazing, beautiful light came beaming down through the tree tops and just hit Mary & Matt with such a glow…

Now here’s that long driveway, fairy tale feeling I was talking about…

The first dance ….. a moment that always gets me ….. tears in my eyes …. a moment unrehearsed ….

One of the most amazing things to me that day was the fact that Matt asked his father to be his best man. In Matt’s eyes his father has stuck by his side in all matter’s. Loving him, supporting him in difficult times and always being his biggest cheerleader. Then Matt …. you picked the best man…. moments during the toast..

Mary & Matt I hoped you had a fabulous honeymoon!

Thank you for letting us be a part of your day!
