In October I was able to come full circle with the Ford Family- clients of mine that have felt more like family from the day I met them a few years ago when I photographed Alicia and Matt’s wedding at St. Clement’s Castle in 2007. It was there that I met Marissa, Alicia’s younger sister and her beau for the wedding, Michael Pratt. To say we all fell in love with this guy for Marissa was the understatement of the YEAR! So of course their wedding at The Society Room in Hartford was nothing but beautiful, vintage inspired fun!!

these guys were also featured on Style Me Pretty- check out their post here

Her are some of her beautiful wedding details: Her cute little Kate Spade shoes were just my favorite!

 

Her Mom Nancy does the finishing touches

 

We popped across the street from her parent’s house to take some pictures, thanks neighbors!!

Marissa is so vintage glam fabulous!!!

One of my faves from the day by far!

 

Marissa and her ladies

 

While wandering around the church, I saw this stage, right? And so…..

Their church is absolutely beautiful!!!

Michael Pratt looks pretty happy about it all

 

 

Marissa is a coach at the Gymnastics Training Center in Simsbury, and her kids all came to the ceremony to wish them well!

See what I’m saying about those little Kate Spade shoes? Reminds me of ribbon candy

And Hartford City hall for pictures is a natural and wonderful choice!! Stop and smell those flowers Michael Pratt!!!

 

Once I do something enough I am ready to change it up, and lighting up City Hall was on the list!! I love these next two shots!

 

The staircase is always a must

Mr. Mike Romano shows his take

Another one of my favorites, the elevator at City Hall! And grooms holding the bouquet!

Now these next few kill me!

When picking my shots for the blog I was picking away, all proud of myself for how great these dance shots came out! And then? I realized they were Katie’s, not mine! hah! Katie Slater does Carla Ten Eyck better than Carla Ten Eyck does Carla Ten Eyck!

Come again?

 

Marissa changed it up for the reception with a little veil swap

Again with that Katie Slater! Love her!

 

And this nice little gem? All Mike Romano, how beautiful and different is this shot?? I. LOOOOOVE it! Go Mike!

Marissa and Michael Pratt, congrats on an awesome wedding!!!
