One of the great parts about being a wedding photographer is that we get to see people share their love in some amazing locations. Kim and Rob did not disappoint in that area. Their wedding took place at the Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford, CT. The park was formerly called Eolia and was the estate of Edward Harkness, heir to a fortune initiated by his father’s investments in Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. The grounds of the mansion were designed by the famous landscape architect, Beatrix Farrand, and feature formal Italian, oriental, stone and rose gardens. It was the formal Italian garden were Rob and Kim decided to stage their ceremony with guests perched in and around a stone pergola overlooking the garden. The reception took place in the mansion with dinner being served inside and dancing taking place on the stone patio overlooking the Long Island Sound. The night was amazing and the crowd was brought to both laughter and tears, as we learned how Kim and Rob first met as children and their love later blossomed as adults.
Thanks again to our friend and photographer, Tom Janz, for helping us out on this wedding! Congratulations Kim and Rob!
