I love living in New England. One of the many reasons, is that it is so easy to quickly drive from a beautiful little country town, to a thriving metropolis. Jennifer and Jason’s wedding day started in Jenn’s hometown of New Hartford, CT, a picturesque little town located on the banks of the Farmington River. I arrived in town a little early, and spent a few minutes watching a couple of men fly fishing in the river.

Before I could get too lost in the lazy summer afternoon, however, it was off to work for me. I arrived just as Jenn and her bridesmaids were trying to get a bite to eat before rushing upstairs to get dressed. I photographed the flurry of excitement as everyone was dressed and readied for the wedding. When time came for photos of the bride, so did a small rain shower, but with the help of Jena (a pro wedding photographer from WA, “taking the day off” to be a bridesmaid), a table lamp, and a couple of creative backgrounds (and, of course, a beautiful bride!), we were able to take some awesome indoor bridal photos.

Then it was off to the Immaculate Conception Church for a lovely ceremony, followed by a few photos outside the church, then a drive to (Old?)Hartford. Upon arriving in Hartford it was more photos…this time at a cool old arch near the state capital. Then up to the 11th floor to the spectacular Bond Ballroom, where the sun set outside the floor to ceiling windows as Jenn and Jay enjoyed their first dance.
