Wedding: Michelle + Mike | Elizabeth Park & The Pond House Cafe, Connecticut

Love love love Michelle & Mike.  We were so psyched to see them and run around Elizabeth park with them and their friends.

I have a ton of favorites from the day -- there are so many of them just dying of laughter, or smiling so hard their cheeks could explode, or throwing each other funny glances.  They are so happy and comfortable with each other that I smiled behind my camera all day long too.  It also helps a little that they picked such a gorgeous location - The Pond House Cafe and grounds of Elizabeth Park are just beautiful - I could shoot there every day!

Venue:  Elizabeth Park / The Pond House Cafe
Florist: A Special Place Floral Design Studio

Wedding: Ashley + Garrit | The Pond House Cafe @ Elizabeth Park, Hartford, CT

Ok, everyone.  This is a good one.  This is one to send you into your holiday weekend.  Or to celebrate the end of summer.  Or to make you cry...or laugh.  I love this post and this couple so much!  When I first talked to Ashley on the phone, I knew their wedding was going to be a great fit.  I just knew it, just from talking to her for a few minutes.  Then, I shot their engagement session...and, I became even more attached :). 

And then, on their wedding day - it was exactly how awesome I thought it would be but, so much more too.  I learned that Garrit could jump 8 feet in the air (!), and that it could really be that humid outside (Tim needed a few shirt changes...), and I also witnessed (and documented!) one of my most favorite first looks ever...I guess what I am getting at is, it was an amazing day with a couple that is most definitely in love.  And for us, that is what this is all about. 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I hope you spend it outside with family and friends.  You may catch me dropping in here....
