Caitlin’s beautiful wedding gown from Kleinfeld’s. Caitlin and Matthew’s wedding experience will be featured on the fabulous TLC show Say Yes to the Dress, and their film crew was on hand all day. We are so excited to see the episode airing in the fall.
And her shoes, a wonderful blue that was to carry on throughout the day!
Wow! Just look at those eyelashes, and 100% natural 
. Caitlin looks amazing here.
We loved the flower in her hair!
Caitlin being helped into her wedding gown, with her bridesmaids smiling in approval 
We had some perfect window lighting!
On Erik’s end, it was all business as Matthew was getting ready.
Matthew’s tie was really cool and classy!
Love this shot that Erik got- we think Matthew looks like he is in an old movie. He was waiting ever so patiently for Caitlin to meet him for the “first look”.
The moment before “the moment”.
Their first time seeing each other all dressed up and looking incredible!
Matthew had surprised Caitlin with an amazing ring from Tiffany, one that Caitlin had her eye on and never dreamed would be hers!
The bridal party was a super fun group!
I Loooooove the bridesmaids bouquets!
A fun fisheye portrait just for you, Caitlin.
We love the way they are holding each other, and their beaming smiles!
Did I mention that we love the bridemaid’s bouquets? They look pretty awesome with their dresses
Getting pampered by the bridemaids before the ceremony.
We love Caitlin’s reaction while walking down the aisle!
And Matthew was so happy to meet her there.
The ring!
Husband and Wife!!
So cute ; )
Some relaxed portraits after the ceremony.
The light was gorgeous!
Well, we were on a golf course after all…
Love this shot Erik captured – the light was killer!!
A kiss before heading back inside.
The details were amazing!!
We were loving all of the blue.
First dance – we love Caitlin’s expression here.
Matthew swept Caitlin off of her feet ; )
Cake cutting.

Matthew has such a mischievous look here it cracks us up!
Matthew expertly tossing the garter.
On the dance floor…
Not sure what’s going on here, but it looks like fun!
Thank you Caitlin and Matthew!! We had so much fun with you at both the rehearsal dinner and your wedding!! Hope you enjoyed your honeymoon ; )
xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
We were so excited to see Caitlin and Matthew again at the Penfield Pavilion in Fairfield, CT. We hadn’t seen them since their engagement session last May and we were fired up to document their rehearsal dinner and meet their friends and family before the big day!
Some details….
Love these!
The torrential downpour stopped just long enough for us to sneak Caitlin and Matthew outside for some fun portraits.
They are too cute!
Love this one.
Less than 24 hours to go…
Before they get married!
One of my favorites.
Just to the side of the hall, there were these extremely colorful boats that screamed out for us to photograph them with our hot couple!
The dim light really made the colors pop.
FAV!!
After dinner, the girls opened a gift from Caitlin.
Caitlin beaming.
The guys opening their gift from Matthew…
Matthew was radiant.
At the end of the night Caitlin and Matthew, and the bridal party ran outside in the pouring rain to go on the swings!
Stay tuned for our next post – Caitlin and Matthew’s fabulous wedding!!
