Our Wedding: The Ceremony & Portraits

Another day, another wedding post! Today I’m sharing photos from our ceremony and some portraits.

We had a church ceremony at the church I grew up in, St. Thomas in Fairfield, CT and then we took the trolley to The Inn at Longshore for our reception! It was a seamless transition, so if you’re having your ceremony and reception in two different places, don’t stress! I was a little nervous but it all worked out.

I was so nervous for bridal portraits but I’m so happy with how they turned out!
