I met Lacy last year when she was the maid of honor at her best friend Samira’s wedding- she had the sassiest pink shoes on with her dress and from that point on I knew we would get along! So when she got engaged to Gene we were on deck to photograph their wedding at the Racebrook Country Club in Orange CT earlier in August.
Now if I think I’m friends with Lacy, well her Mom was quickly inching her way into my favor very quickly! She was quick with a laugh and had THE coolest closet FULL, and when I say full I mean, like dream full- of the best shoes in the world! Picture cute Barbie shoes? And then picture them being real! There was Sunny’s closet! Full of cool shoes with things like pink feathers and pineapples and sequins and just prettiness! And she had a tiara. Enough said!
So Lacy’s details we just so pretty, I could hardly contain myself. Check out her flowers. They had the prettiest most delicate silver handle! Which is what gave me the idea of putting them on the silver tea set. That, and I wanted another shameless sneaky self portrait, however distorted it is!
See how pretty the handle is? These hand bags were gifts for the brides maids- and their bouquets were so pretty!! A family friend was the florist and did an excellent job!!
Vera Wang bridesmaids dresses. Check out the texture!!
Shoes abound!! The ones on the left were Sunny’s. I couldn’t resist!!
Lacy’s gown was also a Vera Wang and I thought it was the most feminine and beautiful dress
It was SO hot on their wedding day, but it didn’t get anyone down!
Check out the detail of the dress- this is Mike’s shot
Again, Mike is always quick around the kids- he is SO excellent at really getting them in their element- these are both his shots
One of my favorite scenarios to shoot, the flower girl watching the bride
More details of her rings and the flowers
The bridesmaids were pumped to see Lacy all done up!
Lacy and Gene had a lemon theme running throughout their wedding- I just loved how they worked it onto the pews and all over (the shot on the right is Mike’s)
Here is Gene right as he sees Lacy coming down the aisle
They even had lemon trees on the altar
Mike snagged this awesome shot of them coming down the aisle
And Mike also got this one, I love how he focused on the lemons and got them at just the right moment
And they had parasols!!! what’s not to love about these???
Another Mike Romano kid special- this little guy was so cute!

It’s like Mike Romano special day today here- another favorite of mine was this shot of his
OK this one too!!!! He was tearing it UP!!!!
Gene is big into John Deere hats, so all of his guys got one
Mike Romano strikes again- I love his take on this sparkler shot as they were announced in there were a bunch of people with these going on!!
Lemony details made for some lemony pictures!!!
So one of my favorite things to do is to snag my couples during their reception if the light or weather is doing something cool lie fog or snow. These guys had literally just sat down to eat but jumped at the chance to run out and grab some shots!!
See how different the picture becomes when she just looks at me and smiles? Way to work it Miss Lacy!!
Mike. Seriously. All Mike. Maybe my favorite shot all day- the texture and tiny bit of light he got on the bouquet, was just the most perfect amount!!
