Wedding at Cascades in Hamden, CT | Dawn & Oliver

The coolest thing ever is being able to capture each and every family milestone as it grows and evolves. I had the distinct pleasure of photographing Cassie & Max’s unique sunrise wedding at the Pine Orchard Yacht Club in Branford, CT last Spring and their trash the dress session later that summer involving dirt bikes and corn fields… Last week I was invited once again to be a part of another milestone: Dawn (Cassie’s sister) & Oliver’s intimate winter wedding. I could not have been more honored and grateful to be part of such a momentous occasion and a huge thanks goes out to Nicole Taylor for helping out at the last minute! Dawn’s beautiful flowers were provided by Flore Fine Flowers.

We’re going to start things off in the usual manner….with two of my absolute faves of the day.

One of my favorite shots of the day! Dawn came downstairs after getting dressed to have her make-up touched up and her dad (in the foreground) just couldn’t resist stealing a peak at her before he was allowed to actually see her – LOVE IT!
