Wedding ::: 08.14.10 ::: Lake of Isles, Foxwoods, CT

My crazy pal Cheryl Cronin and I adventured up to Moodus, CT back on August 14th, got lost along the way, were chased out of a stranger's driveway by a tattle-tale beagle while only trying to "recalculate" the GPS, and drove through some old-time resorts reminiscent of Kellerman's in the Catskills, circa Dirty Dancing. It is officially a part of the state I had no idea existed, and I really want to go back and explore!!!

We did safely arrive at Jill's mom's house, in plenty of time to capture lots of last minute "getting ready" excitement!


Is she not the cutest?!


Her sister was equally adorable.


I loooooved the color scheme. LOVED it. :)


A quick toast with color coordinated drinking vessels...


And off to the church!










I have absolutely NO idea what inspired this - perhaps the priest said something? I was at the back of the church and couldn't hear if he did. :) But as if on cue, all of these people reached out and attempted to fix the aisle runner. I didn't have my camera up to my face as it happened, so I ninja'd this and prayed I got it. It is one of the silliest shots I think I've ever gotten. (Perhaps you had to be there?)


Gah! Cuteness abounds!


So happy!


On to the the beautiful ballrom at the Foxwoods Lake of Isles golf resort.




Such a happy group!


There was a pretty funny inside joke in here about abandoning all Maxim magazines once married...


... but everyone was getting a kick out of them!


Yes, I've been slacking a little on posting my food shots, but this? Heaven. I practically stalked the server as she took away an empty one and replaced it with this.


And this is why I love cocktail hour. A mother and son opportunity I could not pass up. Adorable.


And on with the party!




Love.


Love!


Annnnd... the end! :)


Thank you Jill and Julio for including me in your day, and as always, thank you Cheryl for being such a wonderful friend, photographer, and person to work for. :)
