It’s always, of course, about the bride and groom, their style, their hopes, their dreams for their perfect wedding day (in the case of the brides, those of us of the male persuasion have been told, often formed at a very young age). But sometimes, it’s even about more. And such was the case for Sarah and Doug’s June 19th wedding.
We first met the two of them at Sarah’s sister Jennifer’s wedding two years ago. Sarah grew up in Ridgefield, Connecticut, Doug in Syracuse, NY. They had met in Boston back in 2004. When it came time to take our family portraits, Doug was right in the mix (as was Sarah’s other sister Molly’s soon to be fiance Jeff-and whose wedding we’re photographing next June). So all indications were that I’d be getting a call in the near future. And here indeed we were.
Married at the beautifully elegant and understated Silver Spring Country Club in Ridgefield, on a picture perfect nearly-summer day, Sarah could not have been a more beautiful bride. Her gown, from the extraordinary Alison Fischer from The Plumed Serpent in Westport, was a Monique Lhuillier (“Edie” its name). Silk satin organza with a chantilly lace corset bodice embellished with seed pearls and delicate ribbon details (Alison’s description, of course, not mine). She also had all of her accessories custom designed by one of Alison’s accessory designers to further show off the fantastic details on the gown. The broach on the back of her dress, as featured in our photos, was beyond spectacular.
With non-stop music by Leigh Henry and his band Celebration!, the best location, a magnificent gown, two wonderful families, and the charming and adorable Sarah and Doug. How special was this day! Very special! Congratulations to both of you.
