Graduation Photoshoot at Elizabeth Park in Hartford, Connecticut

When Beth from The White Dress by the Shore approached us all about doing this shoot, I went back to when I graduated-all the excitement, all the fun! I wanted to infuse every bit of that into this shoot and I wanted to bring in colors and details that made me feel this way. Now, a few years after I’ve graduated, I find myself looking forward to the next big party and wanted to design this so brides and their maids would find inspiration for a special shower or fun luncheon. Yellow and pink were easy to choose because they exude the energy and playfulness you will experience at either event!

The shoot took place in the beautiful Elizabeth Park Rose Garden in Hartford, so I took some inspiration from our surroundings. I wanted the flowers to play a role in everything! Our table was draped in pink, everything from the linens, chargers, and napkins right down to the chairs-it was a girly girl’s dream. Tony from Datura, A Modern Garden created a yellow rose runner down the table with pops of pink peonies. Hope from A Little Imagination Cakes not only designed individual cupcakes with colorful florets, she coupled them with an incredible pink and yellow-layered cake! Beth styled the models in fun sherbet colored dresses that played perfectly off the surrounding flowers. Throw in the charming paper details from Metal Mermaid Press and Carla Ten Eyck Photography and you have the day made!

A Jubilee Event: Cindy + Tony, A Classic Old State House Wedding in Hartford, Connecticut

I’m so honored to share with you the wedding of Cindy and Tony, married in April of 2011 at the gorgeous Old State House in Hartford, Connecticut. Cindy contacted me to design and plan her wedding with only a few months to go– and we developed a gorgeous, classic and elegant wedding inspired by her amazing Amy Kuschel gown purchased at The White Dress by the shore. It was such a pleasure to work with her and Tony– their love story is an endearing one… and to hear how they both found one another after hardship and loss was truly inspiring. Their love for one another is real, and their love for their family is incredible. It was so important to them to incorporate their children into the ceremony and did so in meaningful ways. We were all reminded about the important things in life being part of Cindy and Tony’s wedding: love, happiness, and family. It sounds so simple– and it is.

Be sure to watch Jim Altieri’s video at the end of the blog post to see the story of their day unfold. It’s a tear jerker– I must warn you.

Big thanks to my friend Robert Norman for the gorgeous images of this day! xx

Congratulations Cindy and Tony! We wish you and your family a lifetime of happiness and love. xx

We can’t wait to show you all the amazing images captured by Carla Ten Eyck. Be sure to pick up a copy of The Connecticut Bride on newsstands next week.
