Nicole and Nathan had such a fun wedding. From having their first look at Gillette’s Castle, to celebrating at The Riverhouse At Goodspeed Station in Haddam CT, it was non-stop moments.

We started the day with getting ready at Nicole’s parents home where she shared a first look with dad and laughs’ with her mom and bridesmaids before heading over to the footbridge at Gillette’s Castle for her and Nathan’s first look. Meanwhile, Nathan was chilling and getting ready with his groomsmen at the SpringHill Suites Hartford Cromwell.

Next we meet at Gillette’s Castle for their first look and it was freaking awesome! Being surrounded by nature and a castle? Sign me UP! The lighting was incredible. Nicole and Nathan have some amazing moments together that they will never forget.

After the first look, we arrived at The Riverhouse At Goodspeed Station to have their ceremony and celebrate. The Riverhouse is incredible with lots of cool locations to take photos at as well. The outdoor ceremony location is a great size and its covered. So even though there were some midday showers, we were good to go. Once the ceremony concluded it was off to cocktail hour for their guests while we took care of family and bridal party photos.

After cocktail hour was done, Nicole and Nathan had their entrance. The balcony can be used for your exact purpose at The Riverhouse, and that is exactly what they did! From there it was right to Nicole & Nathan’s first dance as husband and wife. It was a heartfelt choreographed dance.

After that, the two shared a dance with their parents, and I don’t think there was a dry eye at any table. Once parent dances were over, it was time for some speeches from Nicole’s father, Nathan’s mother, the Best-man, and MOH.

Once speeches concluded, it was right into dinner, cake cutting, and then it was time to PARTY! The dance floor was packed courtesy of DJ Stephen A Morgan from A&B Entertainment.

We then took a break from all the dancing to take some night time photos and of course a photo I love to give all my couples, the Champagne Shot! It’s a photo that lets you cut loose, have fun, and in the words of my good friend Jeff Tisman, “Go F*ckn Crazy!”

Congratulations Nicole & Nathan!! Thank you for trusting me to be your wedding photographer. I can not wait to have your Photo Premiere and relive the entire day!

Thank you to the following incredible vendor team that made this day come to life.
