West Hartford Winter Wedding

We loved so much about this wedding… As you saw from their engagement session, these two are so adorable together. Their love for each other is palpable, and just plain old precious. When it came to their wedding, the weather was gorgeous, the day planned perfectly, and EVERY one of their guests seemed so insanely happy for them, and simply honored to be there. But MOST of all, we loved watching these two with their parents. the groom’s father had been very sick leading up to the wedding and they weren’t sure he’d be able to attend. That fact seemed to make every moment they had with their parents that much more precious. It was amazing, and all of us were touched by it.

Krista and I started out with the lovely bride to be as she arrived at Beth El Temple. She’s just glowing!
