Karina & Ryan’s wedding day was bursting with love, joy, and unforgettable moments. As a Connecticut wedding photographer, I had the honor of documenting each part of this beautiful day, from the emotional first look with her father at Elizabeth Park, surrounded by blooming roses, to the golden hour portraits that ended the day with magic.
Their ceremony and reception took place at the Pound House Café in West Hartford, CT, a charming and intimate Connecticut wedding venue that offered the perfect blend of elegance and warmth. The energy was amazing, family and friends came together with so much love and laughter.
We captured it all: sweet couple portraits, fun bridal party photos, a group shot with every guest, and of course, the joyful celebration that followed. I love photographing weddings where the connection between people shines through, and this one was truly special.
Karina & Ryan, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your love story. Your happiness was contagious, and your day was a true reminder of why I do what I do.
