Before I sign off the blog for the Thanksgiving Holiday until next week (our studio is closed for the rest of the week until Monday November 30th) I wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday from my family to yours!
Our last wedding in November was at the Mystic Marriott with our clients Shaun and Melissa- it was a blustery, chilly autumn day in New England but we managed to have a wonderful day! Melissa was the best sport- she gets kudos because she was in a strapless dress and didn’t care how cold it got, she just knew that it would be worth it! Well sister, thanks for making it so easy to work with you and not complaining even one little time about the cold!!
Enter, her J Crew shoes…..
and hair and makeup a la Dana Bartone & Co. – our favorite beauty experts to work with!! Dana and Catie are the best team and we love them!!
Melissa was so happy with her hair and makeup, as she should be, she looked fabulous!!
Her first real look at herself
Melissa’s gorgeous gown was from our other favorite vendor, The White Dress by the Shore and it was exquisite
Melissa waits patiently while her sister and Mother button her up
There are the buttons!
Melissa’s Father was so easy to be around and just loved his daughter to pieces
Melissa was so beautiful!!
Their ceremony was in Old Lyme in a light filled church
One of my favorite moments
I love this!!!
Melissa and the boys….. well, and her main boy of course!
We got a beautiful sunset to work with- which was awesome since it was so chilly and windy!
But then we DID have Melissa’s long flow-y veil to work with!!!
100% pure awesome wind powered image
there were so many from this series that I love sorry but I just couldn’t narrow it down!!
The light here? The veil? Them?
How handsome is Shaun!
Again, I couldn’t narrow it down!
More favorites!!
Then we got closer to the water…. and the wind!
The sun warmed them a bit- this could have been taken in June for all we know, right?
More wind, more sunset, more awesome clients!!
Their first dance as husband and wife
One of my favorite things to catch is the huge variety of facial expressions during the toasts and Melissa didn’t let me down!!
Carmine!!!! I love the best men
Melissa and Shaun thanks for being so awesome to work with, I swear I sound like a broken record when I say this but it’s true, we have the BEST clients!!!
Have a wonderful Holiday!
