Waterford Wedding

On Friday I was in Waterford, CT for Emily and Bryan's wedding. All events took place at the Eolia Mansion in Harkness Memorial State Park. It's a beautiful location, overlooking Long Island Sound, with extensive grounds.

It was one of those days we've had most of June, threatening rain. After a brief shower while the bride was putting on her gown in an upstairs room, the weather cleared and the decision was made to go ahead with the ceremony outdoors as planned.

The rain held off until the reception began, followed by clearing, and a rainbow appeared over the Sound. (Which always makes the photographers and videographer happy!)

Longmeadow Wedding

Saturday I was in Longmeadow, MA for Kristen and Greg's wedding. They were married at St. Mary's Church and had their reception at the Longmeadow Country Club. I'll post some stills when I get them uploaded.

I like shooting at St. Mary's. The long center aisle and the balcony give a lot of options for covering the procession and recessional. The Country Club has a lot of beautiful spots for outdoor photos, and the main house is broken up into several rooms for cocktails and dinner, with an outside tented patio for dancing.

Assonet Wedding

On Thursday, I was at Independence Harbor in Assonet for Ruth and Ryan's wedding. I hadn't been there before, and the facilities were so well maintained that I though it was brand-new. I was surprised later to read on their website that it's been in operation since 1976!

We were all lucky, as rain never really threatened. I'll post some video stills soon.

South Hadley Wedding

On Saturday, I was in three towns for Amy and Chris's wedding. We started in Easthampton, MA for some quick shots at the bride's parent's house. Then on to All Saints Episcopal Church in South Hadley. It was packed with guests—it was standing room only, and on what felt like the only hot day in June! After some formal photos at the church, we ended up at Oak Ridge Country Club in Feeding Hills.

Williamstown Wedding

On Saturday, I was in Williamstown, MA for Jess and Michael's wedding. They are both Williams College alums, and were married at the Williams College Chapel. The reception was just up the street at the Williams Inn.

We had great weather and were able to do some shots in some of their favorite places around campus.
