The awesomeness continues…

We had a LOT of time for portraits – oh how we love when Bride’s plan for so much time. We started off at Hartford CIty Hall. Because their wedding was on 4th of July, the place was empty. It was weird being there without a whole bunch of other bride’s and groom’s, and wedding parties milling around.

I am in love with this image.

The architecture at CIty Hall is amazing.

My view…

Erik’s view. Aren’t they H-O-T??

Love the angles in this one.

Off to Elizabeth Park. The roses were in full bloom.

They made our job awfully easy…

; )

Love it!

Blue sky.

Check out that bokeh!

I love Dorothy’s expression here.

Kevin looking oh-so-handsome.

Seriously!!!!

While we were shooting these of Dorothy, Kevin was standing there admiring his beautiful bride, in awe ; ) It was so darn cute!

I took this fun shot of Dorothy’s flowers. I just really love it ; )

The rings!

First dance – these next two remind me of old movie stills.

Their cake was almost as big as them!

A little storyboard of their cake feeding ; )

Dorothy and Kevin we are not even sure where to begin! You two are SO utterly amazing and inspiring. We had such an amazing time at your wedding and thank you so much for welcoming us so warmly. We love you guys and we are looking forward to hear about your adventures in marriage and every other fabulous thing that comes your way! See you again next year at your sister’s wedding ; )

Well we made it back from a relaxing vacation and we have been trying desperately to get back on track! We are getting caught up finally and I have been dying to get these images ready for the blog for a while. I have been stressing (for days) over narrowing down these images to a reasonable amount, and well, I just couldn’t bear to leave any more out. Dorothy and Kevin’s awesomeness could not be contained to one post – so I have broken it into two parts. Enjoy!

Church: Holy Cross Church, New Britain, CT
Venue: Riverview, Simsbury, CT
Cake: Mozzicato de Pasquale
Video: Video Images, North Haven, CT
DJ: Jock in the Box

How cute is this?

Putting on the dress…

I love this shot!

Dorothy was looking incredible.

Erik got this shot of the gorgeous church. The sky was so blue!

Dorothy was very ready to get married.

Love this shot Erik captured. It reminds me of Italy for some reason. Maybe I need to go there to investigate ; )

The ladies helping Dorothy up the steps.

Here she comes!

BEST groom reaction ever. I was practically sobbing watching Kevin.

The church was amazing inside too.

Love this view of the ceremony Erik captured.

Beautiful stained glass!

MARRIED!!

Leaving hand in hand. Just look at those beaming smiles!

We were loving the wedding party’s style.

We love this shot of Dorothy and Kevin walking down from the church.

Of course I asked if they would go up there again to get this shot! It was worth it I think ; )

Stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow!

Melissa + Travis = lots of laughs! They had Erik & I smiling all afternoon – even through the rain. Yeah, these two fit like peas and carrots for sure.

I was liking the “love” graffiti behind them on the bridge.

Aren’t they cute?

We had to jump a fence for these next few.

Love it!

The expression on Travis’s face makes us smile!

But I think this is my favorite.

; )

HOT couple alert!!

I was worried they might fall off!

We like the wispy grass in the foreground – and they don’t look too shabby either ; )

Another fav! The green algae on this lake was so intense because of the dim, rainy weather.

And the rain began.

We moved to the these red brick abandoned buildings.

Cracking each other up again!

We love this one ; )

They were so relaxed for standing in the rain!

Melissa is looking utterly gorgeous in this one.

Kissing in the rain!

Melissa and Travis thank you so much for spending the afternoon with us, and for being so much fun! We can’t wait for your wedding!!
xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
