Liz and Todd’s Wedding @ The Heritage Hotel

I had a blast documenting Liz and Todd’s wedding day!  I had been up most of the night before thinking of photo ideas to take inside due to the forecast of a day of rain.  When I woke up to a perfect overcast rain-less sky, I was pumped!

What happens to JC when she has a super fun bride, an awesome laid back groom and an incorrect prediction of a day full of rain???  She does her HAPPY DANCE and screams “WOO-HOO!”

We started the party at Liz’s sisters house where her bridesmaids were getting ready.  Love her nieces pink robe and pink tv.

Liz asked me to scope out a “country / farm” location to take her group pictures somewhere on the way up to the Heritage Hotel.  So a few days prior to the wedding I saw a home with three barns and knew I had found the perfect place.  The owners were so welcoming.  They even had their grandkids come over to watch us in action.  We got a few pictures in before a downpour ended things and sent us running for the bus.  southbury farm_0011southbury farm_0012

The reception was beautifully coordinated by Lisa of Creative Concepts by Lisa.  The hanging ball lanterns completely transformed the room.  southbury farm_0034southbury farm_0035southbury farm_0036southbury farm_0033

Liz requested “no slow music after dinner” which made for a wild, fun and rockin’ evening.  Country girl – shake it for me!!southbury farm_0042Love this shot of Liz’s family with her closest family friends.  southbury farm_0045Often my favorite dance shots come in the last few minutes of the night.  Glad I stayed to capture these.  What a wonderful day that I feel honored to have been a part of.  My best to you Liz and Todd!
