Stephanie and Tom - August 19, 2006

Imagine it is 3:30 pm on Saturday, August 19. I am TRYING to drive on I95 North. I was supposed to be meeting the bride and groom with their families this exact moment and my GPS system says I am still 30 minutes away from the destination. I cannot believe the traffic could be that bad... but it was. I left more than an hour early and I lost over 90 minutes in bumper-to-bumper struggle on the highway... what a nightmare... panic starts to settle in... when I finally arrive it's 4:10. Cocktail hour has already started. Thankfully, everybody is understanding and NOT MAD at me :o) so I can calm down a little and start photographing the amazing location:





...and the guests relaxing and enjoying the perfect weather:



The bride and groom during the toast delivered by Stephanie's father:



...and a few minutes later, during their first dance:



There were more speeches to come, one of them by the bride's sister:



Stephanie's reaction:



I was invited to provide the coverage of this wedding by the bride's mother, Susan:



...and here's the bride's father, cheers !



Even though I was delayed by the heaviest traffic, later during the party we found time to photograph a special session of the bride and groom:



Happy together, just enjoying the dream-like setting and their special time:



Here's the entire two families together, now as one big family:



Stephanie and Tom's wedding ceremony took place in December '05, now came the time to celebrate it with a reception and cutting not one but numerous CAKES that served as center pieces on the tables:



Oh yes, there was dancing too:





Stephanie and Tom - Congratulations and Thank You for a fabulous day in Connecticut !
