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!
Our couples have been blessed with beautiful weather on their wedding days, and Amie and Dan’s day was no different. It was another perfect summer day. The ceremony took place at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church in Hampton, New Jersey, where Amy made her appearance in a Ford Model T complete with police escorts! After the ceremony, we headed to the 4th hole at High Bridge Hills golf course which is a very special spot for Dan’s family, followed by an outdoor reception on Amie’s grandmother’s beautiful property in Whitehouse, New Jersey.
Not only did they have an unforgettable wedding celebration, but just prior to the wedding they raised almost $15,000 together for the Arc of Hunterdon County and they’re not done yet. Volunteer work is something that Amie and Dan are passionate about, and Dan also serves our country in the U.S. Military. We were so honored to be a part of Amie and Dan’s wedding day, and we hope they are enjoying their honeymoon in Moorea.
Thanks again to our friend and fellow photographer Tom Janz for shooting this wedding with us.
Monica & Anthony’s wedding day was simply perfect from start to finish. Monica was glowing with the anticipation and joy of becoming a wife, and Anthony was glowing too… because his country, Uruguay, won the FIFA World Cup game against Ghana that day! Oh, and he was also getting married that day =) Monica and Anthony tied the knot at Saint Thomas the Apostle church in Bloomfield, followed by an amazing reception and after party at the Westmount Country Club. We had so much fun at this wedding that we completely lost track of time by the end of the night! It was truly a celebration of two families and cultures coming together, and we enjoyed every second of it.
A big THANKS to our friend and fellow photographer, Tom Janz, for shooting this wedding with us!
