Jeannine and Paul had a great fall wedding recently which I had the pleasure of documenting. The day began at Jeannine’s Mom’s house where she and her bridesmaids readied themselves for the day before the ceremony at St. Stanislaus Basilica in Chicopee. After many family formals we made our way to Birch Meadow in Bloomfield, CT for the reception. Here are some photos from the day…
-
- After arriving at her Mom’s house, Jeannine made a quick inventory of the items she’d be needing to get ready.
-
- Jeannine helped her bridesmaids with their dresses, while others found humor in the moment.
-
- Jeannine’s bridesmaids helped her into into her dress in a room that barely held all of us, but which had great light streaming in.
-
- With everyone in the house hurrying to get ready, there was a brief moment of calm while Jeannine had some final adjustments made to her dress.
-
- The beautiful light in the room accentuated the blue in Jeannine’s eyes.
-
- Kissy face!
-
- Neighbors gathered across the street to shout well-wishes to Jeannine as she walked to the limo.
-
- Meanwhile, Paul and his best man hung out with Father Mike at the church waiting for the ceremony to begin.
-
- The ladies waited in the limo in front of the church before making their appearances.
-
- Jeannine held onto her veil while a fall breeze came through.
-
- Jeannine and her Dad share a moment alone just prior to the ceremony.
