Here is a couple that has been together over 10 years (as the Justice of the Peace pointed out – longer than many people stay married) and are still so incredibly happy to be together. I feel so lucky that I got to be a part of their wedding day. They are one amazing couple – and their family and friends are pretty amazing as well.

Mardi started the day getting her hair done at The Body Shoppe Salon in Seymour. What a cool place! Erik and I were lovin’ the lighting and all the cool things to look at on the walls.

Look at that veil!

Erik rocked this mirror shot:

Then we went back to Mardi’s home and has a peek at the shoes and her gorgeous gown.

And her sweet little dog too.

The little ones were getting ready:

This is my favorite shot Erik captured:

Then off to take some formal pictures. We were originally planning on heading to The Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby, but when we got there it was raining. Instead, I called ahead to Woodwinds in Branford and they told me there was no rain – so we headed there.

Aren’t they stunning???

My favorite image of the day!

Then off to get married!

Such a beautiful day – no rain here!

Look how EXCITED Mardi is! I love it!

Yay! Mr. & Mrs.!

A sunset portrait of the newlyweds:

I absolutely fell in love with Woodwinds. This was my first time shooting there – and besides being an incredibly beautiful location, the staff was amazing! Especially Scott. I have never seen someone so effortlessly and AMAZINGLY coordinate a reception like this. Wow. I hope I get to shoot there again.

Check out this table shot – beautiful isn’t it? I love the centerpieces.

The cake:

The first dance:

One of the awesome bridesmaids with a polaroid camera. How cool is that?

And last, but not least, the rings!

It was extremely hard narrowing down images to post from this wedding! I wasn’t that successful at keeping it to only a few ; ) There are so many more – I will just have to post a slideshow soon!

Thank you Mardi and Chris – you were SO incredible to work with, and I can’t wait to see pictures from your honeymoon! Thank you also to Mardi’s & Chris’s friends and family for being so warm and welcoming.
