Yesterday evening was Olimpia and Nicholas' wedding at The Riverview. Here are a few previews from the day, enjoy!

I had to include this image above from the ceremony. A few minutes before go time, I asked Pastor Jeff to try to keep the Olimpia and Nicholas center with the window/aisle; he found the grout line in the tile was center as well. Pastor Jeff stated he never would have thought of this, and I explained that it makes for better photos. Mission accomplished!! Thank you so much Pastor Jeff, I truly appreciate your efforts to make this image.

Congrats again to Olimpia and Nicholas!

I am super excited that today is Olimipa and Nicholas's wedding day at The Riverview. It is my first 2012 wedding and I can't wait to get going.

Olimpia and Nicholas opted to do their engagement session after their wedding; I thought I would re-share some of my 2011 pics of The Riverview.

The first few images are from http://www.alissadinneen.net/?postID=134&heidi-and-als-ct-wedding-the-riverview-simsbury-connecticut.

The next set of images is from Alicia and Desi's wedding. Alicia and Desi got married inside of The Riverview (which Olimpia and Nicholas are doing as well). I love how Alicia and Desi are centered in front of the gorgeous arched windows and how the light is coming through the opposite wall, passing through the crystal chandeliers.

I specifically remember taking this image below, we had just done a few night portraits outside and on our way back inside I noticed a spotlight in the PERFECT spot for a picture of Alicia and Desi. I love how you can see the guests looking at them--so sweet!

And the next few images are a couple night portraits from Stephanie and Dane's wedding, then Kristen and Joe's wedding.

The remaining images are from Christina and Mike's wedding. I love their color scheme for a late September wedding.

Lucky me. I got to spend two Sunday afternoons (in a row) at the most romantic destination wedding location in Connecticut, the fabulous Lord Thompson Manor. The manor was having tastings for their 2012 couples, and I brought my camera to capture the exceptional decor.

Yesterday I was invited to the gorgeous Lord Thompson Manor tasting (to show my work). As always, I was beyond impressed with the beauty, thought, and attention to detail that was put into the day. Everywhere you look is perfection and I am constantly taking mental notes.

I brought my camera along to snap a quick couple of photos of Jackie's outstanding set up for the guests to enjoy. Here are a few of the jaw dropping details.
