Connecticut : Travel

January 30, 2012 by Jensey 5 Comments

The best thing about photographing Christal and Ray’s wedding was that it was in Connecticut. Which meant it was just a stone’s throw away from Sleeping Giant State Park, where Nate and I were married four years ago. We hadn’t been back since we eloped, and it was wonderful on so many levels. We loved the déjà vu feeling of taking the hike to our ceremony spot, and it was magical seeing the same location completely transformed. Instead of “stick trees” and snow, there was so much color!

This hike might not look like much, but when it’s covered in ice, it’s a whole different experience. :)

I should have stood here for size comparison, but this was the last part of our hike to our ceremony spot!

Love it :)

This one wasn’t taken at Sleeping Giant, but another park we went to on the same trip in Rhode Island. My favorite. :)

Christal + Ray : Wedding

January 29, 2012 by Jensey 2 Comments

Christal and Ray were originally planning on having a Walt Disney World wedding, when they realized they could have their dream wedding right at home while still paying homage to Disney. The mansion in Harkness Memorial State Park was the perfect backdrop for their Haunted Mansion themed wedding.

What’s a bridesmaid to do when she doesn’t have her straightener?

I love a good first look!

The grounds were amazing.

So thankful we had just enough light through the rest of the ceremony!

I actually had a minor panic attack thinking I missed the kiss at the end of the ceremony (just another reason I love that Nate and I shoot together!), but it turns out the officiant forgot! We had a little do-over afterward. :)
