The Wedding of Leigh & Charlie

Leigh & Charlie were married on October 18 at two of my favorite locations in New Haven: Battell Chapel and the New Haven Lawn Club. There was a slight bird theme with the birdcage veil, owl wrap, and birdcage centerpieces, which fit both the bride and the location well. As you can see, we had a great time shooting despite the weather.
I never mind rain on the wedding day, unless it makes the bride utterly distraught or if outdoor ceremonies have to be changed. I have to say that the bridal photos of Leigh at the hotel would not be the same without the water drops on the windows. The cloudy day gave us the perfect light both at the church and for outdoor photos at the Lawn Club.
Be sure to check out the couple's only shot together at the hotel. The couple did not want to see each other before the ceremony, but were getting ready at the same hotel. I thought it would be fun to get that great portrait of them together without them seeing each other. He is in the elevator!

Here are my faves...(and this was another hard choice!)











































Thanks, Leigh & Charlie, for being such good sports!! Looking forward to a long friendship with you both.
