Maryellen + Brad – Saltwater Farms Vineyard, Stonington, CT Wedding Photos

September 28th, 2011

Before I get started talking about our next totally sweet and rad couple, and their incredible wedding, I wanted to touch on something that has caused some confusion for a few of you out there – the little date posted underneath our couples names and the location of their wedding. The date is in fact the date that we post the images on our blog, and not the date the wedding (or engagement session!) took place. We understand how this might make people scratch their heads and wonder, “hey! I want to see my photos too!’. Rest assured that we are full steam ahead and working with a furnace full of coal, and we have tons of posts coming your way :) .

With that out of the way, let’s get down to the many terrific moments of Maryellen & Brad’s spectacular wedding at Saltwater Farms Vineyard in Stonington – a location we have been dying to shoot at after hearing so many great things about. We were particularly excited about photographing there because we knew it would feel just like being in Sonoma & Napa counties back in California (two of the most magical places on the planet), and it didn’t disappoint. We knew we had two people that we loved being around and were a joy to photograph (as evidenced by their engagement session in NYC), and Maryellen & Brad could get married in matching potato sacks in a back alley and make it look good.

So when we rolled up to the venue, and saw what was in store for us, from Maryellen’s stunning wedding gown to Brad’s super cool black suit with matching tie (looking like he stepped out of a Quentin Tarantino movie), with the superbly designed details courtesy of the very talented ladies at Fancy Pants Event Planning , Margaret and Ann, we knew it was going to be an “ooh” and “ahh” kind of day. The flowers provided by Yumiko from Hana Floral Design were as perfect as we have come to expect from her, and we had the pleasure of working with the Boka’s again at The Light Mill Film Studios, who are not only some of the very best videographers anywhere, but are a blast to work with. There wasn’t a moments rest on Maryellen and Brad’s wedding day, with all of the things happening in front of our lenses at any given moment, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We say “more please!”, and wait to catch out breath at the end of the night when we can take a peek at some of the images, a little anxious to get them up on our blog (in order of course!) for everyone to see.
