When we heard the news that our good friends Robert and Kathleen (who you can see in all of their maternity gloriousness that we had the pleasure of photographing here) were having a baby, we were totally excited for them, and thought it was just about the greatest thing ever! Baby Malachy was due to arrive right around the time of some of their weddings, and asked if we would be willing to step in for them and photograph Larissa & Gene’s wedding, one of their fantastic couples. We of course said yes, and after we had the chance to chat with them over the phone before their big day, we arrived to photograph them and all the goings on at the New Haven Lawn Club. We pretty much fell in love with both of them, their sense of style and their friends and family right away – Larissa is a stunner that has this vintage movie star quality about her, and Gene was the perfect compliment, suave and cool. We could definitely see why they were vowing to spend the rest of their days together as husband and wife. We had the opportunity to jaunt around the Lawn Club, as well at the Yale campus for some pretty sweet pictures of the two of them looking marvelous together, and then it was back for the ceremony and reception with beautiful floral arrangements and pops of peacock feathers from Candi’s Floral Creations. We especially loved Larissa & Gene’s table numbers, highlighting all of the live concerts they have experienced together (and we were a little jealous they got to see Sigur Ros, one of our favorite bands). We had the best time on their wedding day, and knowing we were able to help friends out at the same time, was a pretty win-win experience.

Ceremony + Reception: New Haven Lawn Club, New Haven, CT
Makeup: Larissa Lenoci
Florist: Candi’s Floral Creations
Cake: Vida Doce Cafe & Pastry Shop

Larissa & Gene, we think you are both really cool, great people, and we hope the years to come continue to bring more incredible moments like we had the pleasure of photographing on your beautiful wedding day.

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
