Kate + Erick – Wadsworth Mansion, Middletown, CT Wedding Photos

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

You may remember Kate + Erick from an engagement session for Robin DIni that Julia and I tagged along on. It was a “getting to know you” of sorts. Some of you may know that Robin recently had a beautiful baby boy, Harrison. Many months back, Robin found out that not only was she pregnant, but she was due nearly to the day of Kate and Erick’s wedding! She asked me if I could shoot the wedding for her (and Kate and Erick agreed)…Oh Robin it was such an incredible wedding and we all wish you could have been there!!

Ceremony & Reception Venue: Wadsworth Mansion, Middletown, CT

Kate’s gown and shoes were incredible!!

Some ceremony details.

It had been misting on and off for the last hour before the ceremony. Kate and Erick decided (about 5 minutes before the ceremony) to chance it…and their luck paid off. Not a drop during their outdoor ceremony!
