As we enter almost fully into the holiday season, we are reminded of the importance of friends and family and the ties we have to them, that strengthen through important milestones in our lives. Vicki and I moved to Connecticut a few years ago, and recently moved into a new house in our current town of Stratford. We have our usual spots we now shop in (hooray for the Nature’s Way Health Foods so close by!), and have discovered (through friends) the best place to get great Chinese that delivers on the nights we want to snuggle up together and watch a show we have DVR’d. Don’t get us wrong, we absolutely love traveling all over this state, and those surrounding us, but there is something extra special and extra comforting about people that live close by. It helps us continue to discover the area we now call home, and makes us appreciate what we have even more. So when we met with Trae & Mike, and Trae’s parents, at our home studio for a consultation, we were delighted to hear that they live so close (Trae’s parents also live just up the road from us). We were even more thrilled to get to spend some QT with Trae and Mike just a quick drive away from us for their sweet engagement session. And it got even better when their wedding day came, with quick jaunts for both of us to their parent’s homes for pictures of Trae & Mike getting ready, followed by their beautiful ceremony, at Nichols United Methodist Church (which we could have walked to). Trae is a stunner on her own, and when she was all done up, and in her wedding gown, she not only took Mike’s breath away, but ours too. It was all a blur of emotion, laughter, and beautiful moments at the Waterview that left us fully appreciating the area we call home, and we can’t thank Trae and Mike enough for showing us a big portion of the magic that surrounds us on a daily basis.

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
